About the escape room

Buchen Sie jetzt mit dem Promo-Code worldofescapes und erhalten Sie einen Rabatt von 10%! Ihr seid im Auftrag des Vatikans als Exorzisten unterwegs und wurdet in ein abgeschiedenes Kloster gesendet um die Welt vor Unheil zu retten. Vor einigen Jahren wurde in diesem Kloster ein junger Mönch, nach dem Lesen eines satanistischen Buches, von einem Dämon besessen. Der Bruderschaft ist es gelungen den besessenen Mönch in diesem Kloster einzusperren – sie brauchen nun eure Hilfe! Eine unheimliche, schwarze Macht verriegelt den Ausgang. Die einzige Möglichkeit hier wieder raus zu kommen ist es, den Dämon zu besiegen. Ihr habt eine Stunde, bevor die dunkle Macht euch verschlingt, und dann kann euch nicht mal mehr euer Glaube retten.

Gloomy monastery setting, tight puzzles, and an attentive team — this is a punchy hour of tension, not a funfair. Surprisingly smooth for beginners and families, too.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the coherent atmosphere and logically built, modern puzzles. The team is considered very friendly and gives helpful hints, so newcomers get through well. Several mention that the start can be a bit bumpy, but you quickly get into it. Value for money is seen positively and many want to return.
WeaknessesSome felt a bit disoriented at the beginning and needed hints. Without tips it can feel slow at first. Reservation is strongly recommended, otherwise you might not get a slot.
StrengthsStrong ambience that credibly carries the monastery theme. Puzzles are logical and work reliably. Hosting is warm and attentive, with hints arriving at the right time.
SecurityThe briefing is described as good, and the staff are approachable at all times. Overall, the process feels organized and safe.
Level of fearThe theme is dark and occult, but reports say kids had fun too; an 11-year-old mastered the game with her mother. There is creepiness, but it feels family-friendly.
Actors' gameNo indications of live acting. Interaction runs through the friendly team, which gives tips when needed.
Quality of riddlesThe puzzles are described as coherent, modern, and well maintained. Some groups need a nudge at the start; after that, a clean flow unfolds. Fair, easy to follow, and varied.
PlotYou are exorcists in a cursed monastery and must defeat the dark force within 60 minutes. Tension comes from the setting and time pressure, without unnecessary distractions.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty with a slightly steeper start; doable with hints. Suitable for beginners and families, while experienced players will find a solid flow.

Great fun for everyone. Locked in small rooms for an hour, solved many puzzles, and the team helped promptly with any questions. Good value for money, and you should definitely make a reservation. We’ll be back.

Tech was solid, puzzles logical, barely made it at the end — heart rate up, spirits too. One hint came a bit late, otherwise top-notch.

We played The Monastery: very coherent; we only needed help once. Modern, well-functioning puzzles and a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to the next rooms.

We went in with two friends; briefly disoriented at first, then everything clicked. One hint was enough; after that it went smoothly. Solid room, fair and cohesive.
