The Four Escape Rooms

The City Centre is home to "The Mysterious Melody" (ages 14+, 3–8 players), in which teams must track down a magical jukebox. The Südstadt location offers three rooms: "The Traveller" (ages 16+, 3–7 players) revolves around the disappearance of a researcher; "Magic Music Machine" (ages 11+, 3–8 players) and its family version are designed for groups with younger participants, accommodating up to 8 children. During play, doors are never locked – access points open exclusively by solving puzzles.

Gameplay and Support

All missions last one hour and are built around teamwork and communication. Discreetly positioned cameras allow a gamemaster to observe the group throughout and feed in hints when needed. Every group has a dedicated contact person for the duration of their session.

Further Offerings

Beyond the escape rooms, Spybrain offers the so-called Boller Battle: an outdoor team game involving a handcart and nine challenges, playable in the park. Self-guided smartphone tours as well as premium tours with a puzzle backpack through the Südstadt are also available. For a home experience, a "puzzle table" can be borrowed for a day and a night.
