Frequently asked questions about days out
What can you do in Hannover when it rains?
When the weather's bad, an escape room or a VR adventure at Escape Hannover is the ideal indoor activity, completely weatherproof, in the Tiedthof at Goseriede 4, right in the city centre. Unlike an indoor playground or bowling, you'll come away with a real experience and stories to tell. Plus: when it rains you're quickly with us from the main station, it's a 5-minute walk.
Does it work for a date or for couples?
Yes, it works particularly well. Solving puzzles together for 60 minutes under time pressure tells you more about the other person than three evenings in a restaurant. For couples we'd suggest an easier room (Hannover Dungeon or Harry's School of Magic), while The Bitcoin Conspiracy is our expert room and rather demanding for a date. For 2 people it's 89 € in total.
Are we too old for this?
Definitely not. Our standard rooms work from an average group age of 14 and there's no upper limit. We've had groups of 70-year-olds who had a brilliant time. What matters isn't the age, it's being willing to get into the game.
What does an escape room cost as a day out?
From 26 € per person in Combo Mode (8+ people). Small groups: 89 € (2 p) to 156 € (6 p) in total. Allow about 80 minutes for your visit, or about 90 minutes in Combo Mode.
Can we just turn up or do we have to book?
Spontaneous bookings are possible. For slots less than 72 hours before the start, just book the normal way at the room you want in our room overview. These slots are marked orange in the calendar (“On request”) and come to us as a request. We will let you know as soon as possible whether we can make it work. To be sure of a slot, especially at the weekend, we'd recommend 1-2 weeks' lead time. Last-minute slots are often listed in the overview of available slots.
Which rooms are the most popular at Escape Hannover?
The Hannover Dungeon (a medieval expedition, atmospheric, good for beginners) and Harry's School of Magic (a magic setting, a family favourite) are our most-booked classic rooms. In VR, Frozen Castle, The Prison and Escape The Worlds XXL (new in April) are the current favourites. The Bitcoin Conspiracy is the expert room for demanding puzzle fans (recommended for an average group age of 14 or over).
