Being in a group that cumulatively played close to 6000 rooms I can say we’ve seen a lot of innovation, but nothing prepared me for “Magic Universe” by Mad Land in Madrid. This is more than an escape room, it’s a glimpse into the future of immersive entertainment. I’ll say […]
The second we entered this room by Insolito Escape Room, we recognized the set. There was the iconic orange-brown sofa, the terrible red-patterned carpet, the bar with all its coffee mugs, knick-knacks and little mock bites to eat as well as the chalk-board listing all of the day’s specials and […]
Puñalada by Friki Escape Room in Madrid is a nostalgic yet modern tribute to the slasher genre, inspired by the iconic Scream films of Kevin Williamson. We played the Survivor mode with four players and escaped in 94 out of 100 minutes, and were more or less the last official […]
Introduction What starts as a calm visit to an art exhibition quickly turns into madness. You’re welcomed politely, even elegantly, by a hostess inviting you to admire her collection. But as soon as the doors close, reality twists. The exhibition transforms into something alive, nightmarish, and deeply personal. Within minutes, […]

The word “quintessence” originally means “fifth essence” or “fifth element” (from Latin quinta essentia) – a perfect fitting name for this game. Ever since La Quintessence was nominated for the 2024 Spanish Escape Room Awards in the category of Best International Room, it had been at the very top of […]

Die Atmosphäre ist zauberhaft und zieht einen sofort in ihren Bann. Von dem Moment an, in dem man den Raum betritt, wird man […]
Wahre Kenner der fernöstlichen Spielkultur schätzen seit Langem die herausragenden Werke von Akira Yagami. Mit unerschütterlicher Leidenschaft zog er Millionen in seinen Bann und ließ sie in seine wundersamen Welten eintauchen.
