About the escape room

Dem größenwahnsinnigen König muss Einhalt geboten werden. Er hält sich für einen Drachen in Menschengestalt und regiert mit blutiger Hand. Die schrecklichen Hinrichtungen und Scheiterhaufen lassen das Königreich erzittern. Keine Macht kann ihm in Furcht vor seinem Drachenei die Stirn bieten. Nur ein geheimer Zirkel jenseits der Meere kann das Unmögliche möglich machen. Ihr seid es, die diesem Geheimbund angehören. In der Stunde eures Besuchs begibt sich der König zu einer Hinrichtung. Das ist die perfekte Gelegenheit, in seine Burg einzudringen und das Drachenei zu zerstören.
