You’ll get to play with many actual scientific devices, but worry not: safety equipment will be provided. A lot to do, 4 players recommended. If you are fewer than that, make sure it’s a team of experienced players. A bit dry compared to their other rooms, but lots of things to solve. Can’t complain on … Continue reading The lab – Houdini’s Quest
Dominique already played this room before this day, how come she’s on the picture? The owners allowed her to watch us from within the room (and help us with translations) and were kind enough to only charge us the 2 players rate. This room claims it is not only an escape room but also a … Continue reading Houdini’s footsteps – Houdini’s Quest
Who plays Escape Rooms on a Wednesday from 9pm to 11pm? In Switzerland? Well, it’s been long that I wanted to play a game with our great friend from Inside Breakout (check our review for his game The Ticking Heart) and spontaneity led us here. Unfortunately, the other petals of the Black Rose weren’t able … Continue reading Escape Rooms Schwyz -Active Escape Schwyz (2 rooms)
The long awaited visited finally became reality. We booked Houdini’s Quest and it was as full of escapism as we expected. The great trick they pulled was to have us end up playing 5 rooms when we only initially booked 3! WARNING: Only one room is fully playable in English (Lab), and one is playable … Continue reading Escape room Frauenfeld – Houdini’s Quest (5 rooms)
This game takes you to the “Forbidden City” in the workers’ district in Baden where unauthorized people were not allowed to enter back in the early 1900s. The atmosphere in the room makes you forget that you are playing an escape room and the props are just superbly done. They told us they carefully hand-picked … Continue reading The Forbidden City 1901 – time maze, baden
On Saturday 18th of January the full Team Black Rose got together again (yay!) to play one of our long awaited rooms: The new one from Time Maze. We saw Adventure Rooms also has a couple of rooms in the area so hey, why not! The forbidden city 1901 – Time Maze 9/10 Time Maze’s … Continue reading Escape rooms Baden – January 2020 (3 rooms)
Turns out you didnât book an escape room, you booked a stay in the room where the very Aunt Hilda used to stay. This escape room begins with a warm welcome in the Grand Trip Trap Hotel by a polite doorman, that tells you a story very similar to the following blurb. Nobody knows Aunt … Continue reading Aunt Hildaâs room – Trip Trap Escape
The swiss escape room scene in Switzerland is split between German and French speaking areas. This time, we stayed on the German side and we traveled one hour by train to the capital of Switzerland! Will it also take the title as the capital city of escape rooms in Switzerland? Keep reading to find out! … Continue reading Escape room trip Bern January 2020 (6 rooms)
We played the following games during Dec 28th and Dec 29th 2019. I was flying back from my Christmas stay in Barcelona, and quickly landed, went home and got again in a 3h train from ZĂŒrich to Geneva. Next thing I knew after I woke early in the morning (who books rooms at 9am!) is … Continue reading Escape room trip Geneva December 2019
Looking for rooms to play close to the city of ZĂŒrich, we stumbled across a new company in Kloten, that is currently only offering one room: Narcos- Operation Safehouse. After a very immersive and for Switzerland quite unique introduction, we entered a safehouse of Pablo Escobar with a clear mission: securing incriminating evidence for upcoming … Continue reading Narcos – Operation Safehouse
So we’ve spent the weekend in and around Geneva, Switzerland, playing Escape Rooms. One of those days, we played most of the rooms at Trapgame, one of them being Vice Versa. It might not be their best or most innovative room, but it was fun to hang around the ceiling for a bit. The riddles … Continue reading Vice Versa – Trapgame
Escape Quest Luzern welcomed us again filling our VIP card with our 18th sticker! We played the Warlock’s dinner and then Circus. The Warlock was by comparison much weaker, trying but not quite succeeding at creating an eerie atmosphere. Few riddles and a bit shallow. An ending with potential but awkwardly executed. We escaped in … Continue reading Circus – Escape Quest
While we are travelling to a boardgame convention in Essen, Germany, we of course could not pass on the opportunity to play some escape rooms as well. Today we played the Dark Sherlock, the Magic School and the Ghost Ship at Enigmania in Duisburg. We had so much fun! The decorations are superb, not only … Continue reading Enigmania Duisburg
What a truly epic small finale it was! Congratulations to Team Malm for beating us with 15 seconds to spare! You made us sweat a lot during the last few minutes! We had such a good time participating in this championship and meeting amazing people along the way. Thanks for organising and hopefully see you … Continue reading Escape Together Championship – 4th place
Yesterday, we got to play the quarter finals of the escapetogether.ch championship. We went in knowing it could go either way but escaped within 26.04 minutes, securing us a place in the semi finals and breaking the room-record! This was to no small portion thanks to the amazing room by Time Maze. Beutezug 1847 is simply stellar. From … Continue reading Beutezug 1847 – Time Maze
We are very happy and excited to have made it to the final rounds of the escapetogether.ch Championship! We’ll be looking forward to the next round and also congratulations to the 7 other teams!
Usually, escape rooms are there to exercise your mind and your wit but this particular room does more than that. Not only your brain cells will start sweating but your body might get out of breath pretty soon as well. And how much fun that is! Without spoiling too much of what is inside the … Continue reading Abduction 3 – The Exam
We are taking part in the escapetogether.ch Championship and had such a great time so far. However, one thing we noticed is that the rooms that are participating are of a very varying quality, which of course makes sense given all the different styles and topics that the companies offer. The best room that we’ve played for … Continue reading The Ticking Heart – Inside Breakout ZUG
This picture is quite dark but that is actually very fitting. Because the room Oscuridad by Maximum Escape is played in complete and absolute darkness. That fact alone makes for a very unique experience. Inside the room, you have nothing but your sense of touch and hearing to guide you. And even though this room … Continue reading Darkness – Maximum Escape
The unique things about the three rooms âThe dark secret of the congressmanâ (chap. 1), âCrime Scene: Back alleyâ (chap. 2) and âPatient Zeroâ (chap. 3) is that they are all part of the same story. Chapter 1 starts out in the mansion of a missing congressman, and your mission is to find out all … Continue reading Chapter 1-3 – Crime Runners
