Carl Notebeck is a journalist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now he’s being charged for a crime he swears he didn’t commit. Did the original investigation overlook key evidence? Is there someone else who had the Means, Motive, and Opportunity? Has a guilty person walked free whilst Carl pays the price?

quite easy

This is the second game from this series I’ve played, and it felt a little lacklustre in comparison. The quality of the materials was still great, but it just felt like there wasn’t enough information to be gained to really feel like you were solving a complex case, unlike Antarctica. It definitely took us a lot less time, and while I can’t fault any of the puzzles it gave us, it just felt like there should’ve been more to it. 

You may enjoy it more if you don’t have expectations going in though, as it’s still a solid game.

Didn’t like that you have to have a Facebook account for this. Also the last deduction puzzle require you to look at “all” the information you have gotten upto that point where everything else have been so easy to figure out. It’s not the problem that the last puzzle was hard, but that it was so different from all the other puzzles where you where just breezing by also falling asleep. 

In conclusion one descent logic puzzle surrounded by alot of meaningless stuff, maybe just not my cup of tea

Reviews by escape room review sites

The Fire in Adlerstein is a classic whodunnit with plenty of twists and turns in the detailed story. Our tip to anyone using this post to help solve the game is to read and re-read everything for even the smallest details. The game comes in at between 1 – 3 hours, but can easily be reset and regifted. We made a lot of effort not to ruin any of the materials, and passed it along to the next person at The Escape Roomer to see if they could solve any faster!

Detective Stories. Fall 1: Das Feuer in Adlerstein bietet eine erfrischende Abwechslung in einem Markt, welcher hauptsächlich durch die Exit-Spiele von Kosmos, Unlock! oder Escape Room – Das Spiel dominiert wird. Diese haben sich im Grunde bisher kaum weiterentwickelt und führen so zu manchen Ermüdungserscheinungen.
