A new case for ghost hunter Ernie Hudson and his team. The investigation will take you to the abandoned sandy bay zoo. It is said that strange noises can be heard between the cages and gates at night. A case for real professionals! Do you have the courage to take on the case? The story is also told using radio play elements. Look forward to various locations, countless effects and lots of surprises. Note: Both “Ernie Hudson” games can be played independently and do not require any prior knowledge.

Auch wenn das Thema (gequälte Zootiere) eigentlich überhaupt nicht unterhaltsam ist, war dies ein sehr lustiger Raum. Das ist auf einzelne Spielmomente zurückzuführen. Die Rätsel haben Spaß gemacht und einzelne Handlungen waren einfach so besonders, dass dieser Raum einer unserer Lieblingsräume ist.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Home to the two best games I’ve played – the Ernie Hudson mysteries. They’re the real deal: immersion, exploration, theatre, puzzles, decoration, audio, flow and narrative. In every way I can image, they deliver. And the other games aren’t bad either. If you’re ever in Hamburg go and play these games. And if you ever have the chance to go to Hamburg, seize it!
Ernie Hudson and the Zoo of Death has also shown that you can rely on the quality of Skurrilum’s adventures. Few rooms in Germany manage to present such a dense and believable story to the players as presented here. Despite the ghost hunter theme, The Zoo of Death isn’t really scary and offers a pleasant level of suspense, as can be found in The Three Investigators.
Auch die Interaktion der Gruppe mit dem Raum während der Spielzeit führt dazu, dass man sich als Bestandteil des Spiels der Geschichte fühlt. Wobei es ja bei diesen Interaktionen immer ein schmaler Grat ist, dass das alles nicht zu albern wirkt. Hier und auch in allen anderen Abenteuern, die wir an diesem Tag gespielt haben, findet Skurrilum jedoch immer einen fantastischen Weg, dies im Spiel einzubinden.
Skurrilum glänzt bei “Geisterjäger Ernie Hudson und der Zoo des Todes” in erster Linie mit einem fantastischen Bühnenbild und einzigartigen Effekten die in einem besonders spaßigen Spielerlebnis münden!
