Short-notice requests are a bit like a treasure hunt. They don't always work out! So it's better to book in good time, ideally more than 72 hours ahead.

Short-notice request - please note the request conditions

Fancy playing with your group at short notice, within the next 72 hours? Then just book the normal way at the room you want. You don't need a separate form for this.

How it works:

  1. Pick your room below or in our room overview, then the day and time in the calendar. Slots within the next 72 hours are marked orange (“On request”). If you pick one of these slots, you send us a request.
  2. If it works out at our end, we will accept the request and you will get a confirmation email with your ticket. From that moment the booking is binding. If you cancel afterwards or do not show up, it costs 75 € per room when there are less than 48 hours until your slot. For short-notice slots, that is almost always the case.
  3. We can accept your request up to the start time. If it doesn't work out, you'll automatically get a cancellation email by the start time at the latest (do check your spam folder!). Please only set off once you have our ticket. If we do not confirm, the request costs you nothing.

Good to know:

  • Cancellation: once we confirm, your booking is binding. If you cancel afterwards or do not show up, it costs 75 € per room when there are less than 48 hours until your slot (for short-notice slots, almost always). Until we confirm, you can withdraw your request free of charge using the link in the initial email, or cancel by email.
  • At least 3 people: we charge short-notice requests from 3 people upwards. Playing as a pair works, but it costs the price for 3. For a genuine slot for two, please book more than 72 hours ahead, which is easier to plan.
  • More than 72 hours ahead (large groups with 3 or 4 rooms: 96 hours), free slots are green and are confirmed straight away.
  • short-notice request in the last 72 hours before the start, right in the room's calendar
  • for 2 to 6 people per room and slot (VR up to 8) (we charge for at least 3)
  • up to 60 minutes of actual playing time (total duration: about 80 minutes)
  • one-of-a-kind rooms, furnished with a lot of care
  • puzzle fun and team building
  • recommended average age of the group: 14 to 99 years
  • request easily online and pay at the venue
  • Languages: German I English
  • Fun guarantee*

Important information

PLEASE NOTE: do read up on the individual conditions of our rooms on our website.

*Fun guarantee!

  • If you're not enjoying yourselves within the first 10 minutes, you can stop the session and you won't pay a thing.


Children & teenagers

  • Individual children under 14, for example as part of a family group, are very welcome and actually a big help when it comes to searching. There should be one adult looking after each child, and at least two adults in the escape room altogether.
  • For groups made up only of children between 10 and 14, please book one of our children's offers, "Kids Special" or "VR adventure worlds".
  • Groups of teenagers between 14 and 16 need an adult supervisor with them. From 16 upwards, no supervision is needed.

Virtual Reality

  • If you feel unwell while playing VR, take off the headset and let our team know. You can take a break at any time.
  • If heights make you anxious, we'd suggest one of our classic rooms instead.
  • Our comfortable VR headsets also work if you wear glasses. If your glasses are unusually large, we'd still recommend contact lenses, simply because it's more comfortable for you. We also recommend comfortable shoes, loose clothing and no up-dos or headwear of any kind. We can't accept liability for scratches or damage to your own glasses caused by wearing the VR headset.
  • VR escape rooms require sufficient mobility. Ubisoft's rooms (Pyramid Room and Medusa Room) are only suitable from a height of 150 cm.

Discounts

  • Children under 10 get in free. The rule here: at least one adult per child.
  • School classes, social institutions and non-profit clubs get a 5 € discount per person if they show a matching ID when they arrive.

Cancellation

  • Cancelling up to 48 hours before your slot is free of charge. You can cancel via the link in your booking confirmation, by email or through the contact form, but not by phone.
  • If you cancel less than 48 hours before the slot, a cancellation fee of 75 € per room applies.
  • If fewer people turn up than the minimum number of participants of a booking, the room has to be cancelled by email. You can also play the booked rooms with fewer people, but then you'll pay for the minimum number of participants of the booking.

Payment

  • Book online and pay at the venue (cash, card or PayPal). Payment by invoice is available for companies, institutions and school groups when needed. Private groups normally pay on site. We create it after you have played and send it by email. Paying in advance normally isn't possible, except indirectly through value vouchers, which you can buy online.
  • You can change the number of participants free of charge when you arrive, as long as it stays inside the range you booked. You then only pay for the people who are actually there. If the number falls outside the booked range, you need to tell us by email (see also cancellation).
  • Please be on time. If you're up to 15 minutes late, we don't charge anything. If you're later than that, you can choose: the full playing time for 15 € per room for every 15 minutes of lateness or part of it, or a correspondingly shorter game at no extra charge. If another group is scheduled after you or our team can't stay longer, there's no choice: however late you are, your playing time is then shortened accordingly, at no extra charge. If you're still not here 45 minutes after the start and haven't let us know, it counts as a no-show (75 € per room).

We expect you to arrive sober and free of any mind-altering substances. Taking them means you're excluded from the game straight away (see our terms and conditions).
