More than an Escape Room! The AdventureRooms Technorama in Winterthur are the first cooperation between AdventureRooms and a Science Center. What’s so special about this? Just like at a “normal” Escape Room you and your team need to escape by finding hidden clues, solving puzzles and proving your team spirit. But here’s the twist: Everything was co-developed and built by the experienced people of the Technorama! With their technological and scientific know-how we were able to develop riddles based on scientific and technological phenomena, which are probably unique in the world. In addition to innovative riddles our two games “SPEKTRUM” & “KONTINUUM” stand out due to their high-quality build and some surprising technological gimmicks. Now it’s up to you and your team: You have 60 Minutes - will you manage to escape?

This was a birthday gift for a 14th birthday and trying to escape through a number of different rooms proved to be excellent fun. We nearly made it! The activity requires good teamwork and respecting the others but is also interesting and imaginative. It works best with no less then 5 people. The team from the Technorama really created something special here. We will come back for another go when the theme changes.

We had a wonderful time at EscapeRoom24 playing the ‚Goldige Ananas’! Two of the four of us hadn‘t played a room before, so in the beginning Alex and Lukas gave us an extra introduction for a successful robbery. The riddles were well thought through whereas intiutively solvable... although we needed few extra hints;) thank you guys for a family fun evening which we’ll well remember. Hope to come back soon for your second room. Keep your attention to detail, it‘s amazing!

Lots of things to discover in this Science Center. Here you can experience the physical, (electro-)mechanical, chemical interactions by yourself. Multi-language guides are there for a detailed explanation. Be there very early, this place is huge, multi-story and you’ll easily spend a whole day exploring around. Our 2 year old being exposed and accustomed to other science museums before, was amazed by the place. So we decided to come back again next year. A note to first timers with kids: at the entrance level, there is a huge lockers section to lock the stroller and other bits and pieces you most probably might be carrying around. Be sure to have some coins of 2 CHF, as the locker mechanism is working like the shopping carts that you’re inserting a coin to unlock. A second note: The place itself is a bit out of the city, like half an hour train ride away from the downtown. If you end up buying train tickets online to come here, be sure to check the transportation website if the Science Center entrance ticket promotion is still valid. In our time of visit it was valid and we saved approx. 20% by buying the both way train tickets and the entrance tickets to the Science Center and we easily validated them at the entrance level admission counters.
