Das heilige Grab

Stepping into Das heilige Grab felt like traveling back in time to a historical setting. The flawless craftsmanship and attention to detail in the set design made the environment so realistic, we often forgot we were in an escape room. Every detail, from the architecture to the atmospheric lighting, contributed to the authenticity. Every part of the scenery was meticulously crafted, creating an immersive experience that transported us directly into the heart of Bamberg’s dark past.

The story is rooted in the tragic history of the witch trials and executions (Hexenverbrennung) that occurred in Bamberg during the 17th century. This harrowing theme was masterfully woven into the narrative, drawing us into the chilling tale of Dorothea. Her story was so deeply emotional and powerfully told that we felt a profound connection to her. As the game progressed, we were determined to bring justice to her and uncover the truth. The emotional weight of the narrative made this experience far more than just a game, it felt like stepping into a piece of forgotten history.

The puzzles were well-integrated into the narrative and never felt out of place. They struck a perfect balance between challenge and accessibility, allowing us to focus on the unfolding story while remaining engaged with the gameplay. Each puzzle felt meaningful and tied to the historical theme and one particularly unforgettable moment gave us chills and is something I will always remember.

If you’re ready to confront the shadows of Bamberg’s past and immerse yourself in a game that combines flawless craftsmanship with powerful storytelling, Das heilige Grab is a must-play. The ideal team size is 3 for this room and we can recommend it to anyone, even the chickens out there as it is not scary, just atmospheric. It’s a poignant and unforgettable journey.
