Epic Escape Cologne – Outdoor Escape Game
Outdoor escape game through Cologne's old town: around 90 minutes of app-based puzzles at real stations across the city centre.
At Epic Escape you don't solve puzzles in a locked room but out in Cologne's city centre: the group walks from station to station and cracks the challenges via a smartphone app.

Concept & offering
The whole game takes place outdoors: the app guides the group through the old town, and puzzles wait to be solved on the spot at each station. Along the way you rediscover well-known and lesser-known corners of the city. Alongside the standard game there are special formats such as the "Gold Card" (a heist theme for companies, €32 per person plus VAT, with a money-back guarantee for no-shows) and "Catch Cobra".
Who it's for
The format suits friends and families as much as stag and hen parties, team and corporate events, or school classes. With group sizes of up to 300 people, large gatherings are possible too. Epic Escape is a nationwide chain (including Augsburg, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich) and holds 4.9 stars from over 700 reviews across Germany.
