The story

Your mission

In his hidden laboratory, Paracelsus von Hohenheim made a discovery long deemed impossible: an essence that unites the elemental forces of nature.

His documents are encrypted, the apparatus baffling and the crucial formula has vanished. Your team has 60 minutes to examine the laboratory, spot the connections and decipher the alchemist's legacy.

The Alchemist's Gold is our most challenging mission. It's especially suited to experienced teams and groups looking for lots of varied puzzles and an intense challenge.

Rating: No horror. The atmosphere is mysterious and adventurous. All rooms can be played entirely in German or English.
