Puzzles
Puzzles – more than just locks
Puzzles are the heart of escape games, but we solve more than just locks. In our games, every puzzle is part of the story. You might read a secret love letter, break into the boss’s email, or interpret a hidden plea for help in a victim’s words. All puzzles are tied to the environment and plot, and nothing feels tacked on.
What kinds of puzzles can there be in an escape room?
With us, you’ll use more than just your eyes. In addition to sight, puzzles can also utilize hearing, touch, and smell.
Puzzles can include, for example:
- Story-driven logic challenges
- Physical puzzles, such as opening, turning, and sometimes even crawling
- Clues related to sounds or scents
- Interpreting maps, videos, or images
- Research tasks that require Googling
What if you get stuck during the game?
During the game, you can get hints whenever you want. The hints are designed to support the game, not spoil it – meaning we help you move forward without the puzzle losing its meaning. Many puzzles also have multiple different solutions. We also make sure you get to experience the entire adventure from start to finish, as our actor is with your group throughout the game and focuses only on you.
Something for everyone to puzzle over
The puzzles don’t require specific prior knowledge or expertise in a particular field. An open mind, teamwork, and creativity are enough to get you through. The difficulty level is hard to compare to other escape rooms because we’re so different, but often first-timers figure out solutions faster than veterans.
Here are three riddles of the day:
- I walk with you, but no one sees me.
Only you know me, and that makes me real.
But if you tell someone about me, I disappear. Who am I? - In 1823, Lady Mariella Whitmore married her beloved, the impoverished Lord James Ravenshaw. Her kind-hearted patroness, the fairy Seraphina, gave Mariella one wish as a wedding gift – any wish at all. Mariella spoke her wish and died immediately. What was her wish?
- Prince Edward III had a wonderful dream. This 5-year-old crown prince told the breakfast table that in his dream he had his father’s golden mustache. What did the little prince dream about?
