What our guests say
Over 10 years of adventure in Cologne-Ehrenfeld — confirmed by hundreds of reviews on Google and Tripadvisor.
„A really great evening at the escape room with our department. The puzzles are nicely tricky but solvable, and the staff behind the scenes were super friendly — we'll all happily come back!“
„The best escape room in Cologne! Circus Mortale in particular left us speechless — incredible puzzles I'd never seen before!“
„I've come back to The Great Escape several times over the years. The rooms are decorated with incredible attention to detail — you keep discovering big surprises as the puzzles unfold.“
„A really lovely Sunday afternoon. We came with two kids (11/14) and played the circus wagon. The puzzles were great and gave us just the right sense of challenge — and the satisfaction of cracking them.“
„Really lovely, great for kids! My daughter celebrated her birthday here and loved it. The intro was great and all the children's questions were answered kindly.“
„We played the new room „In Search of Nora" and it was really good fun. There's also a little scare factor that makes solving the puzzles even more exciting.“
„The four of us played „The Alchemist's Gold". Great fun — the puzzles were really exciting and challenging. We'll definitely be back!“
„A great event for a larger team across two rooms. Both rooms left a lasting impression with their puzzles and wonderful design — the perfect start to the evening!“
„Great experience, the room was so much fun and Helen guided us through it brilliantly!“
„The puzzles are nicely tricky but solvable. The rooms are lovingly designed and bursting with handmade steampunk décor. An all-round happy experience!“
