Games in Berlin by The Room

This starts by being a pretty good escape room, but the end gave us some issues, where some tech didn't work and some of the clues and things available didn't match up and a lot of other stuff made more sense. The story is good
Very entertaining with some cool props!
Very clever executed multiple room game. Brilliantly hosted.
Some really fun and unique elements to this creepy but not actively scary game.
Toller Raum! Es ist allerdings teilweise schon sehr dunkel, was für Kinder nicht ideal sein kann.
Sehr lustige Geschichte mit einigem Augenzwinkern. Wir haben es mit drei Generationen gespielt, die alle eine schöne Erinnerung mitgenommen haben. Technisch eher basic, was aber durch die Geschichte wettgemacht wird.
Wenngleich sehr linear, dennoch ein besonderer Raum mit tollen Effekten und einem grandiosen Finale!
Einfach ein besonderer Raum, auch nach vielen Jahren noch!
I’d add ‘funny’ ‘clever’ and ‘story driven’ tags too if I could - this is easily the most impressive room I’ve ever been in - this is proper theatre.
It’s puzzle light, but atmosphere heavy, and I think that’s how I want all my games from now on. It was my first real horror game, and if you’re a scaredy cat like me, you’ll be fine, it’s worth it (though I did mention this to the staff first so they may have toned it down a notch)
As soon as you start to notice HOW exactly it’s done, this room becomes 10X more impressive and interesting too. I’m going to be thinking about this for a LONG time.
A really beautiful, high tech room with a great atmosphere, and phenomenal hosting. The team at The Room are absolutely brilliant, so committed to their jobs and always helpful, in-character and willing to chat and show us around at the end.
I felt a few puzzles let it down a bit, in terms of being both fairly standard, and perhaps needing some better sign posting. Still a 4/5 experience though because with an atmosphere like that, how can it be less.
For accessibility though, it won’t be up your ally if you aren’t up for large amounts of tight crawl spaces, and the dark. They aren’t kidding about that warning.
The majority of the game was experienced as a sneak preview, so it was incomplete in places. However, it was clear that this was not a game to be missed even just from what we were able to experience here.
Ein großartiges Spiel für die ganze Familie, mit dem sich den Kindern die deutsche Teilung zur Abwechslung einmal auf eine sehr unterhaltsame Weise etwas näherbringen lässt.
Tolle authentische Ausstattung mit Nostalgiefaktor ("weißt Du noch..?") sowohl im Ost- als auch im Westteil. Sehr abwechslungsreiche und unterhaltsame Rätsel auf mittlerem Niveau. Zu Anfang überwiegt stark eine Suchaufgabe, die sich ziehen kann, falls man etwas übersieht. Zum Glück spürte unser Gamemaster immer sehr genau, wann ein Tipp benötigt wurde, ohne uns den eigenen Rätselspaß wegzunehmen.
Fazit: ein toll inszenierter, sehr unterhaltsamer Raum, aus dem man garantiert besser gelaunt rauskommt als man reingeht!
This is such a fun concept. It’s a joy to play. The ending and the use of a prop is brilliant. Would really encourage people to play if in Berlin.
A authentic escape room experience. Loved the start, intro. The room is immaculate and immersive. The puzzles all seem to make sense and are fairly logical. No real wow moment as such. Just great puzzles.
We are such fans of rooms that embrace local history so were incredibly excited to do this room in Berlin and it didn't disappoint.
The decor was absolutely fantastic and the puzzles were well thought out and on-theme. It was a little search-heavy but all done with care, wit and in keeping with thetheme. There were quirky nods to the era everywhere you look and we had a brilliant time in here.
An utterly unique experience with the most incredible attention to detail and a use of the space that seems to get more inventive as the game progresses. This was such an immersive game and its accolades are entirely deserved; enthusiasts should treasure each puzzle because they are all beautifully done and you'll wish there were more.
Die Gestaltung des Raums ist wirklich extrem gut - alles passt perfekt zusammen und nichts wirkt künstlich. Die Spielführung über Beleuchtung und Sound ist toll umgesetzt und führt sehr gut durch den Raum. Einige der Rätsel sind relativ leicht, aber es ist die Einbettung dieser und die Atmosphäre sowie das Personal, die den Raum ausmachen.
Zu beachten ist, dass es doch mit mehr kriechen verbunden ist, als ich anhand der Beschreibung vermutet hatte.
This venue and room was recommended to us by other enthusiasts and it didn't disappoint.
Actors and great decor made this room stand out. While the puzzles were just above average, the decor really made it stand out. The size of the playing space alone! Lots of crawling and small spaces you had to fit in was a bit of an issue for us, but we got through the game anyway. The most physically challenging room we have ever done (but that is also something we try to avoid due to physical health).
The use of lighting was something else - at several stages in the room. That was probably the main theme in the puzzles.
Loved the story - very Indiana Jones like, which they really played on. Even a puzzle from one of the movies.
There was visible care put into this room - we felt it especially in the picture we got to take with us from the room.
Recommended - if you don't mind the physical challenges.
For me, this was the weakest of the rooms at The Room, but that's not to say it wasn't good. There are interesting puzzles throughout and a definite change of theme part way through the game. The hosts are great and you should play all the rooms here!
Whilst not as immersive as the other games at The Room, Go West offers a slightly lighter hearted (albeit the theme isn't!) experience and fans of the 80's will appreciate the details of the room.
Hosting was again excellent, and it is well worth playing along with all the other rooms.
An experience from start (before you even enter the building) to finish! Far from a typical escape room, this unique experience offers something different to puzzle laden, padlock heavy rooms.
Coupled with the excellent team that run the games, this is a must play on a trip to Berlin.
Another unique experience begins with the introduction to the room, hosting is again excellent and sets the tone well for the room. Entering through a door is too plain for this room, so expect something a little different.
Set design is good and the puzzles flow well, though the space lends itself to a smaller team (2-3). Book this along with all the rooms at The Room and you will be in for a treat!
We've heard about this room being the absolute must if you are an escapist on holidays to Berlin, we had such an incredible experience. The pre-game was really immersive (which is often missed by some hosts) , the way to the room was never seen before, the room itself had a lot of secrets that were really exciting to discover and there were so many details! For example, at the beginning of the room, you are explained the rules through the pictures taken by a drone that they lost contact with. And if you pay close attention, you can find the broken drone in the room, attention to details made it very immersive and helped build the story perfectly well. Absolutely amazing. To not lose any immersion, even the clues are played to you as riddles and there is no TV screen present in the room (which in many rooms break the atmosphere). WE LOVED IT. The room is perfect for a team of 2-3 players. It's a no brained, you should head there as soon as you've read the last full stop of this review.
Definitely worth a play along with a tie in trip to the Stasi Museum to get you in the mood. Beautifully decorated. A little heavy on the searching for my liking compared to their other 2 rooms we played but some genuinely brilliant moments and a great experience overall. All good rooms at this venue but all quite different from each other.
Deserving of its reputation, absolutely fantastic from start to end. Brilliant introduction from our GM in impeccable English. Some physical skills required - check website page for full info if needed. Play all their rooms if you can!
Such good fun, clever puzzles, had a fantastic time. Hard to say which of the 3 Ros we enjoyed most at The Room - they were all brilliant and are must dos if in the area. Lovely shift manager and GM also, clearly passionate about what they do.
Updated: played version 2 (Inferno) in Feb 2026. They say around 50% of the game has changed. I recognised a few things but not that much, however it was around 8 years since we played the original version. It's a solid room, if not the most exciting one on offer by this venue.
