What is the best escape room and how can I find out?

Determining the best escape room is not that easy. If you're looking for the best escape room in the world, you first need to clarify in which languages you can even imagine an escape room. Many escape rooms can also be played in English, but by no means all. And it is precisely the language that makes a big difference in many escape rooms. If you don't understand some nuances in tricky puzzles, this can often lead to frustration. In our experience, however, translated escape rooms are usually designed so that you don't have to speak or read perfect English.

To determine the best escape room now, you should also consider whether you are only looking for escape rooms in a specific category. For example, the best escape room with actors or the best horror escape room in NRW. Each niche naturally has its own advantages and success factors.

Was macht einen guten oder sogar den besten Escape Room aus?

There are many factors that make the escape room experience the best escape room:

• A cinematic setting with breathtaking design
• Crisp and never-before-seen riddles
• an exciting and gripping story
• Surprising mechanisms and effects
• the entire package from booking to the debrief

When searching comparison portals and blog posts on the internet, the best escape rooms are typically a mix of cinematic backdrops and great effects. Really good puzzle rooms or rooms with a truly exciting and immersive story are rarely found in the top ranks of the rankings. The overall package also often plays a role, and sometimes it's even the name of the creator alone that ensures escape rooms are labelled as the best or not.

However, as tastes vary greatly, everyone must decide for themselves what the best escape room is. We strongly recommend not relying on best-of lists, but instead following your own taste, your favourite genre, or a recommendation from someone with similar tastes. This way, you are sure to have a truly great experience. And what the best escape room in NRW, the best escape room in Germany, or the world's best escape room is, everyone can then decide for themselves.

And one thing is certain: the team constellation, the form of the day and the feelings associated with an escape room also make up a lot of what makes a really good escape room.
