We were a group of 5, 2 adults and children aged between 10-13. We did the Balcatraz Prison break room/s and it was absolutely brilliant. The staff were super helpful and friendly and really added to experience. The clues and riddles are modified to the group and everyone was able to contribute and enjoy! Would definitely recommend and would look to book for kid’s next birthday parties!

The One Hour Escape 'Meisterdieb' is great fun. We were a party of 5 (4 adults, 1 kid) and not very experienced but with our swarm intelligence we managed to escape in time before the 'Meisterdieb' returned from his one hour journey out of his apartment. Some of the riddles exceeded the scope of the room and included real world items / activities ... a truly surprising experience. Besides the nice story and the fun, we experienced the One Hour Escpae room as a professional setup, well organized and monitored and you felt yourself always safe. I can recommend this to everyone who wants to experience a Room Escape Adventure. This was is classified as 'medium level' of difficulty and it was solvable. We left the venue with a great experience and with a smile after solving the riddle.
