Before the Game

What do I need to know before I arrive?

Please be on time for your booked slot so we can give you a short briefing. As we are a live event and prepare the rooms for each group, delays or rescheduling are not possible.

Is there an age restriction?

Our games are suitable for ages 14 to 99. The only exception is “Guschi’s Seedy Cellar,” which is for adults aged 18 and over.

Can children play?

We recommend our games for families with children aged 14 and up. From this age, teenagers can also play without adult supervision. Younger children should be accompanied by at least one adult. You know your children best and can judge if a theme might be too scary.

Are there any on-site rules?

Yes. By booking, you accept our terms and conditions. Violating the rules may lead to exclusion from the game or its termination without a refund. Bringing food and drinks, as well as smoking, is not allowed anywhere on the premises.

During the Game

How long does a game last?

A game lasts about 60 minutes. Please plan around 80 minutes for your entire visit.

Is it scary inside the rooms?

Depending on the theme, it can get spooky. We use light and sound effects, fog, and sometimes strobe lights to create an immersive atmosphere.

I'm claustrophobic. Is that a problem?

No. Our rooms are of normal size, and no one is ever truly locked in. The entrance door can be used as an exit at any time if someone feels uncomfortable.

What do the rooms look like?

Each room is an elaborately designed set with great attention to detail—from a jungle cave and a magic chamber to a neighborhood pub, there’s something for everyone.
