The Cold War. The Soviet Union faces the United States and both powers leave no stone unturned in their attempts to outdo the other. In these times of mistrust, the value of one good has risen inestimably: Information. And this is your business. What counts for you is not which side pursues which ideology, but who is willing to pay the most.
As spies you have made it your business to use the uncertain circumstances and obtain important state secrets and sell them to the highest bidder. You wait for the dawn to gain access to the building, hoping to kill two birds with one stone.

Venue is tourist central in Berlin and catering to that market - although we like to play games with a local theme where possible so it was fine from this perspective. An easy game for the most part although some logic leaps required which I think we would have failed to make without prompts. Set design pleasing and they have done well with a small space (although one side of the first room is a large glass window to the street which is a bit strange). Admittedly we did this game as timing wise it fitted with another game we wanted to play at the same venue but found various elements of this room pretty frustrating. If you want a game with a local flavour in Berlin, book Go West at The Room which is far superior. Not terrible, but not a venue I'd rush back to given the other high quality offerings available in Berlin.

House of Tales have created a space with Checkpoint Charlie that surprises with an unusual theme as well as a fittingly associated setting.
