About the escape room

Everyone in town knows the old house in the forest. However, no one wants to talk about it or be anywhere near it. The legends tell that it was a place of supernatural practices and black magical rituals or maybe it still is? Your friend, a journalist, wanted to solve the mystery of the house... Now he's in trouble. The last thing you heard from him was a message on your voicemail with a rather disturbing message. If you want to see him alive again, you have to hurry. The rescue mission will not be easy and who knows who or what lives in this house...

SecurityNo concrete safety details in the reviews. However, the friendly, helpful team inspires confidence and supports you reliably.
Level of fearNoticeably creepy, but more atmospheric than harsh. Suitable for teenagers; possibly too unsettling for very young children.

Powerfully staged and acoustically superb—the creaking, the music, everything meshes together. Puzzles are logical, never unfair, and the story keeps you hooked. An absolute recommendation.

Traveled from Laakirchen/Gmunden and didn’t regret it for a second. A surprise for my brother and a friend; there were six of us. The puzzles were top-notch, some quite unique — time flew by. Staff were friendly and helpful — a clear recommendation; get your brain sizzling!

Great idea and neatly executed. Sometimes it was almost too dark for me, which led to a bit of searching, but the puzzles are fair and coherent. We had a lot of fun.

Went there with the family (daughter 16, son 13), and we had thrills, fun, and action while exploring and tinkering. We’d gladly come again—we’re already looking forward to the next room!
