“What a fantastic, immersive experience. Before you even start you’re pulled straight into the story and kept entertained throughout. Not particularly scary, but there are a few jumps along the way. The whole game feels like you’re on a fantastical journey of discovery…with just the right amount of puzzles as you uncover the mystery of Anna Morana.”

“Loved the setting and the effects. Good variety of tasks and puzzles to solve. We played with just 2 players which I think was a good amount as with more players it might have been crowed in some areas and/or hard to see what is going on for everyone.”

“This room gets a really high rating from me due to its atmosphere. The furniture and all props fit it perfectly into the setting and time of the story of the room. What stood out additionally was the smell added to certain corners/ things, different temperatures and the sound design in addition to the “usual” lighting effects you find in other top rooms. Also: no cameras nor speakers nor any other type of modern tech was visible anywhere but extreme well hidden in decoration. Perfect immersion. We had some scare moments so to very realistically looking props which was of course what we came for :) - so the room fully delivered its promises!”

“I am from West Germany and played this room with a person who grew up in East Germany - which added the fun of both of us pointing out things from our childhoods to each other. Loved the experience. But I think the game is also enjoyable for non-Germans who maybe don’t spot as many easter eggs but will nevertheless like the decoration, attention to detail and variety of puzzles and tasks in the room.”

“It’s a nice escape room experience that I personally loved because of some details and the setting. In regards to puzzles and tasks pretty straightforward and guided; as a bit more experienced players we were able to figure many things out even without reading/ listening to instructions. Fun for kids as well :)”

“This is a very cool room packed densely with tasks and riddles. As said on the website you start in three groups and are joined together as the story unfolds. Thus it is all about communication and collaboration in the first parts. Once you are all together you’re in a space where there is so much going on simultaneously that it’s impossible to keep track of all the little details that are going on and all riddles the others are solving which can get a bit chaotic, but that’s exactly how it should feel on a fast sinking ship with limited time to escape… Means there is just one chance for players who want to experience EVERY bit of this room: come back a second time ;) Would recommend the min. number of players (5) as it would get very crowded with more players in some parts of the room and there is already a bit of chaos with 5 players in the end.”

“I may be biased as an english tourist in Berlin when I did this room, but thus far this has been my favourite room of any country I have been to and done an escape room. Dynamic, involved, very english friendly despite being in the heart of berlin. Highly recommend so long as you can handle a bit of spookyness. We escaped as a 2 but it was hard. Without giving spoilers the more observant escapers have an advantage over puzzling escapers. The puzzles aren't necessarily difficult but spotting and realising what goes where is the challenge of this room.”

“This room left us speechless, that's how good it is. The welcome/briefing is in character, and that puts you in the middle of the story immediately. The set design is phenomenal, in its use of lighting and smells. Special shout out to our host that did a magnificent job!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
