Even before the official opening, the Soester Anzeiger about the extraordinary concept of the new escape room. The high acting component was particularly highlighted. Instead of being accompanied via cameras and loudspeakers, an actor is in the room the entire time and becomes part of the story.

The experience even begins outside the actual game room, immediately drawing the group into the story.
