What is an escape room?

Imagine you are locked in a room with limited time to solve a series of riddles and tasks. That's exactly what an escape room is! It's an interactive game that requires teamwork, creativity and logical thinking. You are drawn into an exciting story in which you find various clues and complete tasks to solve the big riddle or ultimately find your way out. At EXIT, we offer you virtual and physical escape room games.

What do you do in an escape room?

In an escape room, you and your team are led into a themed room where you have to fulfil a mission. In our virtual reality games, you also play as a team using our VR goggles and VR controllers in our virtual reality area. Your task may be to find a treasure, escape from a prison or decipher a mysterious secret. Your goal is to solve all the puzzles and complete the tasks within a given time (55 or 66 minutes).

How does an escape room work?

An escape room consists of a series of riddles and tasks that are linked together. You have to collect clues, crack codes, and find hidden objects in order to make progress. The tasks are designed to require teamwork - everyone in the team can contribute their strengths. As you work your way through the room, you discover new clues and open locked doors or secret compartments.

Is an escape room suitable for children?

Yes, there are special escape rooms for children! These are designed to be age-appropriate and contain less complex riddles suitable for younger players. At EXIT Escape Room Games in Berlin, we offer child-friendly rooms perfect for birthday parties or family outings. For example, check out Monster Party for the little ones (aged 5-9) and Magic Alley for the older ones (aged 10+) and the whole family. It's a great way to develop children's creativity and problem-solving skills while having lots of fun.

How do you prepare for an escape room?

Preparing for an escape room is easy. Wear comfortable clothes, as you may have to bend down, climb, or search for objects. It is important that you arrive on time for the booked date so that you have enough time to get to know your game master, familiarise yourself with the rules of the game, and get involved in the adventure. Bring a good mood and team spirit.

What are the best tips for a successful game?

Here are some tips that can help you to escape from the escape room successfully:

• Communication: talk to each other and share your discoveries with the team immediately.
• Teamwork: Utilise the strengths of each team member and work together.
