About the escape room
You receive an urgent message from a group of daring city archaeologists who have uncovered new clues to previously hidden vaulted cellars beneath Vienna’s Blutgasse. Could the legends about a mystical treasure of one of the Crusader orders actually be true?
You and your team will descend into an authentic medieval brick-vaulted cellar two levels beneath the city center! What you discover there could shake the foundations of biblical history. This adventure was developed together with prominent city historians and tour companies in Vienna. Real locations from older and more recent history have been recreated, existing legends have been incorporated, and museum objects have been brought into play to make this unique escape room experience come to life.
Location
Right in the city center. A short walk from St. Stephen's Cathedral, close to Stadtpark
