The 12 best escape rooms in Berlin (2026)

“The Lost Treasure Of Alexander von Humboldt is one of the two best rooms offered by The Room according to our evaluation. The introduction and the initial briefing were very well executed. The room design and thematic concept were consistently convincing. The puzzles were coherent and thoughtfully integrated into the overall concept. The game also incorporated various sensory elements in a deliberate and effective manner. Overall, the room is carefully designed and provides a highly enjoyable experience. The game master deserves special mention. He allowed us to play independently and did not provide a single hint. We can fully recommend this room without reservation.”

“Ok, so we do lots of escape rooms but scary/spooky rooms are not our cup of tea. That said, given the reviews we had to do this room. Amazing story, super unique puzzles. Several jump scares, but 100% worth it.”

“What a perfect theme for Berlin! We were initially skeptical because it can also be played with children. We worried it might be a bit too boring. That’s why we booked at short notice. The setting is perfect for an ’80s and GDR theme, it really feels like a trip back in time. The puzzles are easy to solve and the fun factor is high. A small tip: Wait for the intro in the room before you start on the puzzles.”

““Beast of Berlin” is one of our top two rooms at “The Room.” I deliberately entered the room without much prior preparation. As a result, the experience was significantly more intense. My girlfriend, on the other hand, read the description more carefully beforehand and already had a general idea of how the story would unfold. I would choose the same approach again at any time. The experience felt noticeably more immersive. The introduction was well designed and created a strong atmosphere from the very beginning. The overall structure was very well executed. The puzzles were thoughtfully designed and of high quality. Several senses, such as smell, sight, and touch, were deliberately incorporated and used effectively. This clearly enhanced the overall experience. Overall, it is a highly recommendable room.”

“The room is excellent from the very beginning. The effects are impressive. The game starts in a mysterious way and offers a well-crafted introduction. You feel transported into a magical world. It creates a dense, immersive atmosphere. You fully dive into the setting and are actively woven into the story. The puzzles work well for two people. Tasks can be sensibly divided up. The room design is implemented in a truly special way. We do not want to share details to avoid spoilers. Overall, it is a great experience in an outstanding setting. For Harry Potter fans, it is a must. We can definitely recommend the room. Note: It is not a puzzle-heavy room, but is more focused on the magical experience.”

“My girlfriend and I played “Golden Phoenix” and “King of Dreams.” Both rooms were beautifully designed, highly detailed, and felt incredibly authentic. Sonia was our game master and did an outstanding job. She was definitely one of the best game masters we have ever had. “King of Dreams” in particular really drew us into the story on an emotional level and was an absolutely fantastic experience. Both rooms are highly recommended and definitely must-plays!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Der Raum ist für das Thema wahnsinnig toll gestaltet und ist so viel größer, als er wirken mag! Viele lustige Momente und auch ein toller Showdown am Ende machen das Erlebnis komplett! Für jede Altersgruppe zu empfehlen, die keine Probleme damit haben, auch mal krabbeln zu müssen”
