After Gustaf Enoksson has been at sea for 30 years, strong emotions are aroused when he meets Juana Lazcano in the Argentine coastal town of San Julián. He decides to go ashore and work as a lighthouse keeper at the El Chico del la Capa lighthouse outside the city.
Businessman Roberto Marcos, who lives in San Julián, has made a fortune from shady dealings, but lately he has got huge debts and needs to cash in. He plans to let one of his cargo ships go to the bottom and collect insurance money, by turning off the lighthouse where Gustaf works, at the right time. By funding some modernizations, he gains access to the lighthouse and can rig it to go out an hour before the ship arrives. So that no one can light it again, he blocks the floors up to the lighthouse but places clues for himself in different places in the lighthouse in order to quickly light the lighthouse again so that no suspicion falls on him.
In the fall of 1968, Gustaf gets a well-deserved vacation at the same time as a deep low pressure with associated storm winds is approaching. Roberto Marcos sees his chance to put the plan into action.
One of Roberto Marco’s cronies thinks his boss has crossed the line, and gives you the scoop information about what will happen. You bring some friends with you to prevent the disaster but you are in a hurry! The ship is approaching and in an hour it will be smashed against the sharp rocks of the coast. Can you light the lighthouse before it’s too late?

This room has also been designed with great love and dedication. The set is more elaborate than that of the first room, creating an even more immersive atmosphere. And I'd like to point out that once again, everything was created personally by the owner. The puzzles are very well thought out and fit the lighthouse keeper's story perfectly. We were kept thoroughly engaged and had a wonderful time - the time just flew by! If you have time, you can take a look at a book in which the owner has documented the construction of his escape room. The service was excellent, and it was an honor to play there.

After thirty years at sea, Gustaf Enoksson starts a new life as a lighthouse keeper in San Julián – but peace is only an illusion. The tower’s owner is drowning in debt and plans to extinguish the beacon, dooming an entire ship in a cynical insurance fraud. Suddenly, countless lives depend on us. Can we reignite the light before it’s too late?
The Lighthouse was easily my personal favorite among the 32 escape games we played on our recent tour through Sweden – and that for several reasons. First of all, the location itself is one of the most beautiful I have ever experienced for an escape game. Nestled in the heart of nature, it feels absolutely magical. If you can, set aside some extra time to truly soak in this idyllic spot (did I really say that?) – it’s like stepping into an enchanted forest. We were warmly welcomed and excellently taken care of, which immediately made us feel at home.
