We
have
already
been
to
another
location
from
7th
space
(Langenfeld)
and
were
thrilled.
Since
there
was
a
new
opening
in
Cologne,
we
of
course
wanted
to
try
it
out
straight
away,
because
as
we
all
know,
“new
is
always
better
;)”
and
especially
when
it
comes
to
technology,
we
were
hoping
for
a
big
upgrade.
Unfortunately,
nothing
really
went
according
to
plan.
My
wife
had
actually
booked
an
escape
room
experience.
However,
we
were
not
informed
that
this
was
“only”
a
box
booking
and
that
you
then
had
to
say
again
that
you
wanted
an
escape
room.
So
we
lost
the
first
few
minutes
because
we
were
thrown
into
the
normal
game
menu
-
of
course
the
timer
was
already
running.
And
then
we
had
to
call
another
employee
and
wait
until
he
came
to
us.
So
we
lost
the
first
18
minutes
without
playing
anything.
Then
after
some
back
and
forth
and
a
little
more
waiting,
an
escape
game
was
started
and
we
were
told
that
we
would
just
get
the
time
back.
(However,
it
wasn't
like
that)
After
41
minutes,
the
game
simply
ended
in
the
middle
and
all
we
saw
was
a
black
screen.
What
a
shame!
-
If
you
mention
it
yourself
that
the
time
will
come,
then
please
make
sure
that
it
worked?
Even
though
the
employees
were
all
friendly
(the
friendliness
earned
the
second
star),
they
unfortunately
seemed
overwhelmed
and
not
well
trained.
When
our
game
was
over
early
-
we
weren't
even
noticed
because
the
two
employees
at
the
counter
were
deep
in
conversation.
I
had
to
explicitly
mention
again
that
I
wanted
my
deposit
for
the
locker
key
back
and
we
weren't
asked
how
we
found
it,
what
it
was
like,
etc.
1
day
after
the
opening,
it's
really
the
least
you
could
expect,
but
There,
too,
compromises
were
made.
Now
we
come
to
the
technology:
The
music
playing
in
the
hall
(on
box
12,
for
example)
is
so
loud
that
you
can
hear
it
loudly
through
the
headset
while
you
are
communicating.
The
headsets
interfere
with
each
other...
you
can
also
hear
the
conversations
from
the
boxes
next
door,
so
it's
super
difficult
to
play
an
escape
game
while
you're
listening
to
4
people
from
the
box
next
door
shooting...
also
seems
to
be
a
known
problem,
so...
People
have
been
sent
to
another
box.
Glasses
are
fine
-
so
are
the
controllers.
The
location
is
very
pretty.
Overall,
however,
it
was
a
really
bad
experience
and
we
won't
be
going
to
the
location
in
Cologne
again.
Basically
we
threw
away
about
€50
and
didn't
have
any
fun.
