Archeologists wanted! A tight passage was found during repair works in the basement of the Humboldt University which leads into an abandoned secret study chamber deep under ground. The brothers Humboldt might have built it centuries ago to examine and hide precious and mysterious artifacts they found during their travels. People say there might even be the lost holy grail…

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.

Reviews by escape room review sites

I've seen more than one enthusiast describe Lost Treasure as the best escape room in Europe. Of course, tastes vary, and no one person can play more than a selection of the games available, so clearly any such claim is only a matter of subjective option. Even so, it's one of a very small number of games which could plausibly be a candidate for that title.

While booking this game the website shows a warning saying that all players must pass through narrow passages, be fit, not be afraid of darkn...

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.

Humboldt and the Lost Treasure left us simply speechless. We had never played such a room before. No other room has managed to create such a dense and entertaining atmosphere - like Humboldt and the Lost Treasure. 

A lure of Escape Rooms is being the star of your own film. Some rooms are a bit B-movie, some are distinctly am-dram. I’d never before played a game quite as Hollywood blockbuster as The Lost Treasure of Alexander von Humboldt.
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 […]
Das Alleinstellungsmerkmal und für mich auch absolutes Highlight des Spiels sind die vielen verwinkelten Räume und wirklich ungewöhnlich engen Kriechgänge, die ein deutlich realistischeres Gefühl vermittelten, als die sonst so weit verbreiteten “Krabbelgänge”.
