Archeologists wanted! A tight passage was found during repair works in the basement of the Humboldt University which leads into an abandoned secret study chamber deep under ground. The brothers Humboldt might have built it centuries ago to examine and hide precious and mysterious artifacts they found during their travels. People say there might even be the lost holy grail… .

Incredible! This is my brother’s favourite room now (my second fave, after The Wrath of Han). It felt like another world from the very beginning, and it was exciting each time we worked something out.

The space felt incredibly real
Customer service
The GM really made the experience immersive from the start and did a brilliant job with acting and hinting gently.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
An exciting amount of crawling around— there was a point where I felt pretty tired but it also made the whole thing feel more out of the ordinary
Story
In retrospect I didn’t feel like I could piece together an actual storyline very well, but the vibes were so good it didn’t feel like it mattered at the time

We had a great time with two. Three would have made some parts simpler but a bigger group would probably feel crowded.
Scary
Not scary
It might be “spooky” for some, with some darkness and one surprising reveal, but nothing moves at you and the soundscape doesn’t make a spooky environment.

They are not kidding about the belly-crawling, though it could be possible for only one person to handle the physically demanding parts.

4/5. Amazing room, incredible atmosphere with a fun linear story. There is quite a bit of crawling and moving through tight spaces so it may not appeal to some. But the puzzles are fun and the room has an easygoing nature.

Last game of the day at The Room, at it was fantastic! The start is different from anything I have seen, and the rest is a very funny, fun and challenging experience! Would reccomend anyone to go and play it!

One of my favorite rooms I’ve ever played. What stands out for me are moments in the game I still remember clearly. One of the best starts of any game I’ve played

“... game full of solid puzzles that makes good use of the theme to hide them within the decor.“
