About the escape room

Dem größenwahnsinnigen König muss Einhalt geboten werden. Er hält sich für einen Drachen in Menschengestalt und regiert mit blutiger Hand. Die schrecklichen Hinrichtungen und Scheiterhaufen lassen das Königreich erzittern. Keine Macht kann ihm in Furcht vor seinem Drachenei die Stirn bieten. Nur ein geheimer Zirkel jenseits der Meere kann das Unmögliche möglich machen. Ihr seid es, die diesem Geheimbund angehören. In der Stunde eures Besuchs begibt sich der König zu einer Hinrichtung. Das ist die perfekte Gelegenheit, in seine Burg einzudringen und das Drachenei zu zerstören.

Overview of artificial intelligence

WeaknessesWith six people, some areas can feel cramped. Strictly linear thinkers may take a bit longer on the lateral-thinking puzzles.
StrengthsStrong immersion thanks to story and setting; the flow feels coherent. The hosting is warm and professional, with pinpoint hints.
SecurityThe briefing is clear and helpful; pay attention to the opening explanations. Rooms feel clean and well kept, and the staff stays reachable if you get stuck.

Actors' gameNo live acting reported. The team accompanies you with humor and attentiveness and only gives help when needed.
Quality of riddlesMostly logical and fair with a few clever outside-the-box ideas. The puzzle flow is praised by both beginners and frequent players.
PlotYou exploit the mad king’s absence to infiltrate his castle and destroy the dragon egg. The story noticeably carries you through the rooms without being overdone.
Difficulty levelOverall medium challenge with a few tricky moments. Experienced teams progress quickly; newcomers get through well with a few hints.

Out as a group of six for the first time: first The Castle, then the Opera. It was a bit cramped in one or two rooms, but everyone was able to join in the puzzling and there was never a dull moment. The tasks are logical, though sometimes you have to consciously think outside the box. The rooms and story are lovingly and coherently executed, the team is super friendly, and the introduction was hel

Great set design and a really tight story—we were immersed right away. The game master let us do our thing and only helped when we needed it. That’s what makes escape rooms fun.

There were six of us, so it briefly got a bit cozy in one room, but no one was bored. The puzzles are logical and fair, and in the end everything made sense.
