120 mins¡Ven a la Taberna y vive una aventura como ninguna!
Neil Parker viene de un largo linaje de dinero y poder, pero poco se sabe de los orígenes de su familia. El régimen totalitario del tirano es muy cuidadoso con los pocos detalles que se cuentan de sus ancestros: grandes batallas, mucho honor y alguna traición…
Habladurías sin mucho fundamento dicen que formaron parte de la aristocracia austrohúngara, y otras historias se remontan al mismísimo Genghis Khan. Pero la realidad es bien distinta. El orígen de los Parker fue humilde, y como muchas historias que merece la pena contar, empezó en una Taberna.
Adentraos en la historia de Neil Ferdinand, el verdadero ancestro del tirano de la City, para descubrir lo que arrancó 400 años atrás y aún sigue vivo en la Taberna de The City Escape Room Barcelona.

If you’re in Barcelona and have time for only one escape room it has to be this one.
The sets are expensive, the GM’s are fantastic and act brilliantly throughout and the whole experience is completely immersive in every sense. It was a truly beautiful game that also had some really unique puzzles utilising the set excellently.
It’s one of the only rooms I could replay multiple times because it is so much more than just an ER.
A bit different from other rooms we have played with more focus on the story and the experience than a traditional escape room. There were still some great puzzles though. The set was huge, intricate and beautiful. Lots of climbing and crawling involved which I always find exciting.
This was an absolutely mind-blowing experience—start to finish, my jaw was on the floor. The hosting was phenomenal, making us feel like we had stepped straight into a movie, and that’s no exaggeration. Every stage had me thinking, how are they going to top that?—but somehow, they did. And then came the finale… just wow.
The entire game was out of this world. Every aspect was so cleverly designed, and the fact that we didn’t open a single padlock didn’t matter in the slightest. It was pure immersion from beginning to end.
If you’re in Barcelona, you have to make time for this room—I can’t imagine anyone walking away disappointed!
Absolutely lost for words. Built with love, skill and passion! Gone right into my top 5 in 230 ER’s. This was our second trip to Barcelona to play and we finally rented a car to reach the rooms further away and i’m so pleased we did. No spoilers but I really didn’t know what to expect with this room and it was the gift that kept on giving!
Wonderful story-driven, live hosted with an epic set and some thrilling physical puzzles. Everything is put together with a love of love, it’s funny and on theme with a great host and great props.

A friend wrote to me saying there was a new room near Barcelona that they had test played and he thinks booking numbers are very likely to go through the roof in the near future. That’s why we should come as soon as possible to play it. Another experienced enthusiast also spoke of TERPECA Top 10 material in connection with this adventure. Even though I’m always a bit skeptical about escape games being hyped so early on, and I try to keep my expectations low, the three of us set out to play this and four other interesting rooms in Barcelona and the surrounding area. Anyone who knows me will probably ask themselves, “What’s going on? Only five rooms in one weekend in Barcelona?” But this was actually a connoisseur tour.
„The City“ in Terrassa (approx. 30 km northwest of Barcelona) is a kind of joint venture between Elements Escape Room and Vortex Escape Room (Apophis). With “Academia de cocina” (Megachef) and “Estudio de televisión” (La Nevera Show), there are two old friends from Experiencity (La Orden, Colors, Terror Stories…), which can also be played in other cities. However, we are here for a different reason.
La Taberna (The Tavern), is a one hundred and twenty minute immersive pirate adventure that, as the name suggests, begins in a tavern. The first location is very interactive and humorous. There we meet a character (very good acting from everyone involved in this game) from whom we want to find out certain information or need items. Of course we don’t get this for free. Everything has its price! I don’t want to reveal much more at this point. In any case, we laughed a lot (I learned that Giulia can tap dance) and immediately immersed ourselves in an exciting adventure with a great plot, during which we were often surprised and left with our mouths open.
