Just a few more minutes! In most escape rooms it is a race against time. You are locked up with your team members in themed rooms and have to solve various puzzles and crack number codes. It's the only way you can open the doors. As well as the classic escape rooms, there are also outdoor adventures and special missions, which are the perfect activity for families with children. With historically inspired tours, those interested in Berlin history also get their money's worth. Admittedly, with the many different providers of Live Escape Games it is difficult to keep track of everything. That's why we have put together the best missions for different interests and age groups for you.
