SHERLOCK

An escape room for real detective teams

New opening on 05.07.2025

Sherlock Holmes has been arrested!

The newspapers are full of headlines and the sparrows are whistling from the rooftop … the famous private detective is allegedly to blame for the violent death of a former client after a dispute.

All the evidence is against him and the only people who could exonerate him and get him out of trouble are nowhere to be found. Dr. Watson and Sherlock’s housekeeper Mrs. Hudson have disappeared from the scene.

There is not much time left!

Sherlock will be put on trial in an hour and it doesn’t look good. This could end badly for him.

If … it wasn’t for chance, luckily there’s always you! An alliance of well-rested private detectives who have set themselves the goal of solving the mysterious murder and clearing their friend Sherlock of the accusations.

The problem is that you should be pretty quick – because it’s not just a game against the clock. The murderer is at large and knows of your presence …

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

An escape room game is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a themed room and have to escape by solving puzzles, finding clues and working as a team within a set time (usually 60 minutes). The challenges and puzzles in the room are designed to require creativity, logic, attention to detail and teamwork. Escape room themes and scenarios can be varied, from mysterious ancient pyramids to detective offices and futuristic space stations, creating an immersive experience that immerses participants in a completely different world. Escape rooms offer a unique opportunity for friends, family or colleagues to put their problem-solving skills to the test, communicate and share an unforgettable experience.

Please be there 15 minutes before the game.
So if you have booked at 5 p.m., for example, please be there at a quarter to five! Greeting, putting things away, possibly going to the toilet, having the game explained - that takes a little time. So please be there 15 minutes in advance!

Please let us know at least 48 hours before your appointment if you are unable to come. Only then can we refund you the price!

If you cancel within 48 hours, we will unfortunately have to charge a cancellation fee of 86 euros

With our escape room experience, you always pay for the number of participants actually present. If the number of participants is lower than originally booked, the price will be adjusted on site according to the actual number of participants.

If you have paid in advance for more participants than will ultimately take part, we will not refund the difference in cash. Instead, you will receive a voucher for the corresponding amount. You can use this voucher for future visits to our Escape Room.

The whole experience usually lasts around 80 minutes, including a short introduction before the game and a debriefing. The actual playing time is 60 minutes.

All you need is your willingness to solve puzzles and work as a team. Personal items such as bags and jackets can be stored safely. The use of cell phones or other electronic devices in the rooms is not permitted.

Don't worry, with us every group manages to “leave” the room. Our goal is for all participants to have a positive and fulfilling experience. Our attentive facilitators monitor the game closely and are on hand to provide timely tips to help you progress and ultimately 'leave the room successfully'. We tailor the hints and support to the individual needs and wishes of each group. Should you be a team of professional players and wish for a greater challenge, we can reduce or omit the hints accordingly. Our goal is to provide a customized experience that is both challenging and fun, regardless of your level of experience.
