Everything you need to know for your visit
Many questions come up over and over. We have tried to summarize them here, to make easier for you to plan your visit.
Our rooms are generally only playable with teams of 3 players or more.
If there’s only two of you, why not find another or two persons to join? With a larger team the game flow will improve significantly!
Feel free to contact us so we can share our experiences.

The “magical music machine” room is barrier-free – at least as far as wheelchair accessibility is concerned. The narrowest corridor that we cannot change is 70 cm wide. If in doubt, please get in touch with us and we will exchange our experiences and see how we can arrange it. The highest threshold to be crossed is a normal threshold at the entrance door (1-2 cm).
Unfortunately, we do not have a wheelchair-accessible toilet!
The rooms following rooms are are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible for structural reasons:
No, absolutely no pets are not allowed here! The playrooms are not suitable for them, and we don’t have space for them in the waiting area. Please make alternative arrangements for them during playtime.
Haha. smart question! The answer depends on your preferences and interests. Take your time to compare our offerings, to see what attracts you most.
The Magical Music Machine is a truly fun room, a crowd favorite, and one we maintain with great care. This room stands out for its wide variety of puzzles and entertaining team challenges. The Mysterious Melody (Downtown) largely follows the same concept, but takes the staging and immersion up a notch. This room stands out with a great story arc featuring atmospherically designed tasks.
Last but not least, “The Traveler” is our room for everyone who loves a good brain teaser but is still open to amazing and surprising effects. Here, in addition to challenging puzzle chains, you’ll also find the occasional science fiction Easter egg to discover.

The rooms following rooms are are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible for structural reasons:
We use light and sound effects (LED), but generally no strobes or similar.
Magical Music Machine (Kartäuserwall)
This classic room gets by with very few lighting effects (only illuminated screens) and should cause problems for very few people.
The traveller (Kartäuserwall)
LED running lights are used in the traveler’s room. Although these do not flash or flicker, they could be problematic for people with epilepsy. If in doubt, we would advise those affected not to visit. We look forward to hearing from you so that we can discuss the issue openly.
The mysterious Melody (Mauritiussteinweg)
Noteworthy lighting effects in this room are the disco balls (visible on the website), which are illuminated and set in motion for a short time.
We have made every effort to take the needs of colorblind people into consideration wherever possible.
However, this is never 100% possible.
Of course, escape rooms are team games for people with a wide range of skills.
So if you can’t solve a puzzle, someone else in your team certainly can!
