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!

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.

Second of the three games currently available at The Room, The Beast of Berlin has you investigating a serial killer, and is significantly darker than its two sibling games. Whereas I'd encourage you to play their other games with a team of 2-3, Beast is a larger game for which I'd suggest 3-5 players - though that's partly because my team of two failed badly!

A review of THE ROOM, Berlin's best escape venue and home to The Lost Treasure, The Best of Berlin and Go West. Three great games with amazing theming and good, logical puzzles. If you're ever in Berlin, THE ROOM should be on your to do list.

The Beast of Berlin was the first Escape Room we ever played. Like all rooms of THE ROOM in Berlin, it manages to maintain a dense and here especially creepy atmosphere over the entire playing time and to serve the player one or the other surprise.

For the next Escape Room we visited in Berlin, we took up the invite from the owner of “The Room”. His rooms are among – if not the – best rated games in Berlin, so we were very curious. Could The Room hold its high promise, or did it crash and burn under our high […]
