“I played this game with three of my coworkers (all gamemasters) and two friends One of my favorite rooms to this day - The set design was immaculate, again. Skurrilum knows how to design room and make you feel like you're actually at the place where the story tells you you are - Definitely for adults. If you're fine with sextoys and other typical Reeperbahn-stuff, you can play this room - The gamemaster was really friendly and also funny. Loved talking to him and he played his role perfectly - The riddles were easy, but logical, fun and fit the theme perfectly - The experience itself was great - 4 people would be great for this room, due to how the game starts All in all: one of my favorite rooms to this day. Makes a lot of fun and we didn't want it to end. The way they give the hints (they showed us at the end since we didn't need any hints) is really funny and fits the theme. Definitely recommended to anyone who's fine with the topic of sex, alcohol and Reeperbahn. 5/5.”

It’s knocking, it’s throbbing, it’s calling you. And before you know it, you’ve entered the old villa, which has been abandoned on the outskirts of town for years. You follow the creepy noises up to the attic of the old house and then – silence. In front of you stands a mysterious game. It will cast a spell over you and you will begin to play. But already after the first move you realize that this is no ordinary game, but a very dangerous one. It takes you on a magical journey – and if you don’t finish the game in time, this journey will be your last. You tremble and dare the next train…

“I really had a lot of fun in this room. It was really well designed and it had a nice and spooky atmosphere. It was a lot of fun getting spooked here and there but not to the point where it got annoying. The riddles are also very logical and were fun to solve but followed the same general structure as the other Hidden Games escape rooms. Still can very much recommend this room to everyone. If you are very scared of horror just let them know and they will make it way less spooky for you :)”

“A well rounded escaperoom experience set on a deserted island. This room had one of the most unique settings and designs. Our team took a little time to get used to this kind of approach where the solving aspect is more rewarding than searching but after a small adjustment time this room really shows what it can do! Would recommend!”

In the middle of the Australian outback you were able to get one of the coveted jobs as a miner. After a long and hard day's work, you are just about to finish your shift in the old gold mine when the accident happens. There was an explosion in one of the shafts! Toxic gases have been released and are spreading at breakneck speed! Now is the time to act quickly. Stick to the evacuation plan and get to safety in time.

“One of my favourites! The room was definitely on the more challenging side of escaperooms but its not at all unfair or hard to play. The atmosphere very much gives the experience of being in a mineshaft. The strongest part imo were the well crafted puzzles and the flow of the game overall. Deadlines Gold Mine is a must play!”
