What an adventure in the “province” of Bad Steben. From the outside, it looks like an old shoe cupboard – but instead of shoes, it now offers cinema-worthy immersive rooms. The entry into the dream world, the dreaming itself, and the gentle waking-up again were a flawless experience. At some points in the dream we got stuck, but Lasse, our gamemaster, always managed to keep us within the storyline of Metropolis. The follow-up afterwards, where our remaining questions and uncertainties were addressed, was very well done. We’ll be happy to return.

The entire Aztec civilization is at a crossroads. At this exact point in time, they will start a revolution that will make them the absolute rulers of their region.

We have information that one of their leaders is targeted by an unauthorized time traveler, for reasons that we do not yet know. You must prevent his assassination, keep the events unchanged and gather additional information.

The decorations are amazing, a lot of work was put into making this room look and feel like a museum exhibit. While the AR elements felt more like a gimmick to me, i appreciate the work and originality of the concept. It’s definitely a room worth playing.

It will be hard, you’ll have to face many challenges and pass difficult traps from the ancient temple. Indiana Jones went in search for one of the most desired artifacts, The Holy Grail. But he disappeared for some time without anyone knowing whether he is alive or dead. You, his students, worrying for him, decided to start a journey for finding him.
Finally, after a long-lasting search and many days spent, deciphering the notes in his office and following a map from his journal, you arrived at the ancient temple from Escape Arena where it looks like Indiana Jones has been seen entering the last time.
Grab your friends and start the journey for finding The Holy Grail.

The room is really good. There are slight tear and wear on a few objects, but nothing that ruins the game or really makes it harder. Just visually, some objects are a little worn.
Apart from that, the story was incorporated well with the scenery and gameplay. The puzzles were interesting and they made a lot of sense.

Not the hardest of the bunch, but definitely worth a play.
If you arrive early, you can grab a drink at the pub, where the Escape Room is located.
