You are the trusted assistants of the world-famous magician Harry Blackstone. One evening, he summons you to his study—with a secret assignment:
A new illusion called “The Teleported Person”, performed by Magnifico, is causing a sensation across the city. The trick has captivated audiences, and all of London is talking about it.
Blackstone, however, cannot stand the thought of anyone else basking in the spotlight.
He therefore tasks you with attending Magnifico’s show at the Magicilum, incognito, to uncover the mystery behind this unbelievable trick.

9/10 (first out of six in Franconia)
First of all what I will say is that, as far as I can see, Finest Escape is a serious company.
A company I would definitely return to.
This was a game of two halves. The first section you're in a theatre for a magic show
(It's a similar feel to The Great Loudini in Wakey if anyone's done that room)
And this section alone is up there as one of my favourite escape experience, although it's much more immersive theatre.
It felt like entering a real story of magical possibilities.
And I must give a very special mention to the actress, or should I say both actresses? We saw that day. Sorry don't remember the names? But what an amazing performance. We were talking to the host afterwards, and I think that was their fifth or sixth performance that day, so even more impressive.
So you're in this theatre watching this magic show, and interacting with characters and everything was wunderbar
the second half which is more akin to a traditional escape room, unfortunately was not up to the same standard. I honestly felt like some of the puzzles, (I think a fuses one?) were quite weak, and to match the first half I think this section needs some work, with a bit more oomph and drama. Although the end had more of that, and was the better for it.
Also the hosting was really good, from a bloke who was a professional magician. We loved the outdoor seating area and the reception. They also have a car park.
Anyway this was my favourite room of the trip, and I can't really say much more than that.
I will be very interested to see where this room lands in this year's TERPECA awards.
Was ein großartiger Raum! Wunderschönes Bühnenbild! Mit eigener kleiner Zaubershow! Wir waren ganz hin und weg. Es lohnt sich vorher den Film Prestige gesehen zu haben. Der Raum ist dabei wesentlich besser als der Film 🙂

It’s finally here!
Finest Escape has opened its long‑awaited second adventure at the Nuremberg TV Tower. Prestige – inspired by the film of the same name – revolves around a single question: how far are people willing to go for fame and recognition? In the case of two rival magicians, it’s about nothing less than “the perfect trick.”
With this room, the Kölle brothers have fulfilled a long‑cherished dream. No surprise there – Alexander is a professional magician who has performed countless times on stage. Secretly, we had hoped to see him in action during our visit, but that moment, unfortunately, didn’t happen. Yet his colleague stood in for him brilliantly, taking the stage as Magnifico with a magic show that was as astonishing as it was entertaining.
What’s the story?
London, 1920 – we are the assistants of the famous magician Harry Blackstone. When a rising illusionist named Magnifico amazes audiences with his spectacular act “The Teleported Person,” Blackstone sends us undercover into the “Magiculum.” Our mission: uncover the secret behind this seemingly impossible illusion.
With its spacious hall at the Nuremberg TV Tower, Finest Escape offers perfect conditions for spectacular set design – and Prestige makes full use of that potential. The high ceiling is cleverly integrated into the environment, allowing even large‑scale props to blend naturally into the scene. The setting impresses with real spatial depth: spread across two levels, players must crouch, climb small steps, and explore the environment from different perspectives. Professional lighting and sound design enhance the atmosphere beautifully, while impressive visual effects add countless wow moments.
