FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an escape game and how exactly does it work?
The principle of the escape game is simple - up to 6 players have 60 minutes to crack a puzzle or puzzle their way through the escape room. Before the game starts, you will receive a short introduction and a brief introduction to the game. This is where the puzzle begins. By combining objects and clues, you can reach the goal together and escape! You will only find the exit if you put all the clues together correctly.
How short notice can I give notice?
You have the option of canceling your booking online up to 48 hours in advance. Or you can let us know by phone or e-mail within this time frame if you are unable to come. Only then can we refund the price!
This does not apply to company events in the high season: from September to March. In this case, the cancellation period is one week.
What if we are fewer people than stated at the time of booking
You have the option of adjusting your booking online up to 48 hours in advance. You can also let us know by phone or e-mail within this period if you are unable to come. Only then can we refund you the difference!
What happens if you can't find the solution in 60 minutes?
Then you've just had bad luck or overlooked something ... ????. But of course we won't leave you on your own and we'll be happy to give you tips.
How old do you have to be to take part?
Each room has its own story and a different level of difficulty.
Some of our rooms are available from the age of 10.
Others are only suitable from the age of 14 or 18.
Our age recommendation can be found next to the description of each room.
As there are also scary rooms, we ask you to always read the description and decide for yourself whether the room is suitable for your child or not.
A chaperone of at least 18 years of age must be present at each game to assume responsibility.
We recommend that you, as the accompanying person, judge for yourself whether the child is old enough to follow the game and actively participate.
Alternatively, young people between the ages of 14 and 17 can also take a Declaration of consent of the legal guardian.
There is no upper age limit.
Who shouldn't take part?
We advise against participation in the event of mental illness, heart disease, asthma and other serious illnesses. Please also read our AGB.
How long does it take?
The whole experience usually lasts around 80 minutes, including a short introduction before the game and a debriefing. The actual playing time is 60 minutes.
Is there a dress code?
Definitely no - come as you feel comfortable and are able to move. Full-body suits and masks are perhaps a little counterproductive - sometimes you need to see through them.
How many people can play?
There must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 7 players.
Is the access barrier-free?
Our location is barrier-free, but only two of the four escape room games - "The Art of Stealing" and "The Haunted House" - are accessible.
When should we be there?
15 minutes ahead of time is the right time ...
So if you have booked at 5 pm, for example, please be there at a quarter to five! Greeting, putting things away, possibly going to the toilet, having the game explained - that takes a little time. So please be there 15 minutes in advance!
