About the escape room

You almost missed it, it’s so twisted and turns: the abandoned orphanage.

Mysterious places and stories appeal to you very much and of course you had to start looking for them immediately. The people in town didn’t promise too much. It all seems very, very dark and spooky.

Back then, the head of the house is said to have sacrificed the poor children without pity for his own good. A deal with evil - innocent children’s souls in exchange for his own immortality. The whiff of past misdeeds still hangs noticeably in the air - and yet you couldn’t resist.

You’ve already experienced a lot together, but this seems to take on a completely different dimension. As soon as you arrive, you are playing against time and for your own life.

AI Overview

AIGuests celebrate the atmosphere, the lovingly crafted sets, and the precisely timed help from the team. The tech feels high-end, effects surprise, and the rooms are larger than at many other providers. The scare factor is present but described as "scary but fun." Many return and play several rooms back-to-back.
WeaknessesSpecific complaints are largely absent. Darkness and scares may be too much for very sensitive players. No data on accessibility or age ratings in the reviews.
StrengthsVery friendly, attentive team and fitting briefings. Puzzles are logical, varied, and cleverly executed with tech. Dense horror atmosphere with strong sound and lighting effects, without becoming unfair.
SecurityClear briefing before the start, the team responds quickly to questions and supports as needed. Despite the darkness you feel looked after and safe; no negative incidents are mentioned.
Level of fearNoticeably spooky, with dark passages and creepy sounds, but overall playful and not brutal. For kids depending on sensitivity; tends to suit teens and adults.
Actors' gameGame masters are praised as super friendly, attentive, and humorous, including Florian by name. Hints arrive right on time and unobtrusively, interactions feel appreciative.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are described as fair, logical, and varied, partly with impressive tech. Unexpected events deliver aha moments without devolving into search marathons. Difficulty feels cohesive and well-balanced.
PlotDark orphanage story about grim bargains and lost souls, told through atmosphere and effects. No long monologues, the story unfolds as you play.
Difficulty levelSolid medium; with hint support it's good for beginners, and thanks to the variety of tech and effects it's exciting for experienced players too. Groups of 3 to 5 feel ideal, larger also works well.

Strong set design and logical puzzles, but at times it was a tad too dark for me. With two or three hints it flowed smoothly, and the finale really packed a punch.

Big kudos to our game master Florian. Great introduction, hints exactly when they were needed, and always a light-hearted quip at the ready. That makes getting spooked really fun.

Played as a group of five and were totally blown away. Friendly, attentive staff and so far the best location I’ve seen. We’ll definitely be back for the other rooms.

Scary but fun describes it perfectly. Gloomy sound, lots of darkness, and puzzles that fit together well. It was a lot of fun.
