Getaway GmbH Live Quest Munich

Update January 2019: last month, we did Get Away's new room, which is Game of Thrones themed. We were 4 fairly experienced players, and the room was a real challenge!! The puzzles are top notch: they make you think, and it takes a while to put it all together. The room is entirely automated, there are no padlocks. I really liked how GoT elements are incorporated into the flow, some things are super creative!! (no spoilers, but do look up when in the corner by the Martell spears ;)).

We needed almost an hour to finish the room, so it was definitely a fulfilling experience. Would recommend it for enthusiasts and GoT fans ;)!!

Getaway is a very new Escape Room company in Munich - they opened their first room called "Taphephobia" (the fear of getting buried alive) in September, and are planning to open several more (including a Game of Thrones themed one!) in the upcoming weeks. However, the Getaway team has ample prior experience with Escape Rooms, and it shows.

There are none of the lock-and-key or lock-and-code scenarios of the first gen Escape Rooms, this one is fully automated ;). I don't want to go into the detail of anything to avoid spoilers, but there is definitely a "wow" effect while you are doing this room. It is more atmosphere-driven than it is puzzle-driven.

Some of the other reviewers on trip advisor and whatnot mention that this game is very physically intense to the point that I think reading these reviews might scare off people that would enjoy it (it almost scared me off...). This game is maybe a bit more physically intense than the average modern Escape Room, but it is by no means only for adrenaline junkies. Personally, I hate horror movies or any sort of jump scares, but I thoroughly enjoyed this room. The only cases where you might reconsider going would be if you are a) claustrophobic or b) asthmatic.

The hosts were very friendly, my only complaint there is that there were maybe a bit too many hints on how to proceed without being prompted. This is probably subjective though.

Regarding the language: we all spoke German to varying degrees, so we did the intro and the room in German, but the hosts did offer to switch to English, so I imagine this is not very problematic.

You can only do this room with 2 or 4 people, but I think 2 is actually recommended.

tl;dr: cool escape room with the use of modern tech, a bit different than the average escape room, but nothing too crazy, recommended for everyone, particularly couples/duos of friends.

You will not be disappointed unless you don't speak German.

(Translated by Google) The location is good, but too much going on in the area.
Unfortunately, you can hardly reach the company, if you come in the evening, you would have to wait a very long time for the gate to open.
Ventilation is very bad, it's too hot inside!
and employees are treated unfairly
Can not recommend.

Die Lage ist zwar gut, aber zu viel los in der Gegend.
Man kann die Firma leider fast nicht erreichen, wenn man Abnds kommt, müsste man sehr lange warten, bis das Tor auf ist.
Lüftung ist sehr schlecht, es ist zu heiß drinnen!
sowie Mitarbeiter werden ungerecht behandelt
Kann nicht empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) One of the best escapes I've ever done (and there were quite a few). The Taphephobia room was super exciting and cool. You really have to work together here and it's something different than the normal puzzles. The 7 Kingdoms room was also great. There were a lot of puzzles to be solved here. Lovingly furnished with details. The staff is super nice and the price-performance ratio is really good. The only point of criticism is the availability - I called at least ten times (because of group discounts and corona rules) and was only answered once. I'm still looking forward to the next rooms and will be back.

Eins der besten escapes, die ich je gemacht habe (und das waren einige). Der Raum Taphephobia war super spannend und cool eingerichtet. Hier muss man wirklich zusammenarbeiten und es ist mal was anderes als die normal Rätsel. Auch der Raum 7 Kingdoms war top. Hier waren vergleichsweise viele Rätsel zu lösen. Liebevoll und mit Details eingerichtet. Das Personal ist super nett und das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis richtig gut. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Erreichbarkeit- ich habe mindestens zehn mal angerufen (wegen Gruppenrabatt und Coronaregeln) und nur ein Mal wurde abgenommen. Ich freue mich trotzdem auf die nächsten Räume und komme wieder.

(Translated by Google) Super ingenious room and tasks that I won't tell you anything about (experiencing it yourself is the tip here) because a friend actually wanted to go there with her sons and their boyfriend (who then canceled it) we ended up with a four-man adult group in the children's room. The mechanics and the technology work great. There was a great introduction and even during the round there was always just the right quench of comments at the right moments that slowly got our thoughts on the right track. It was really a lot of fun and the puzzles are so ingeniously worked out, big praise to the lady who we have to thank for this room. We are very happy to come back with the same group to master the other room.
I am also really looking forward to the Corona being over or to the fact that another possibility will be found to enable you to build new rooms (since these have to be checked and approved by various bodies)

Thank you for the great evening.

Super genialer Raum und Aufgaben über die ich natürlich nichts verrate ( selber erleben ist hier der Tip) da eine Freundin eigentlich mit ihren Söhnen und deren Freund hin wollte ( die dann doch abgesagt haben) waren wir mit einer vier man erwachsenen Gruppe im Kinderraum gelandet. Die Mechaniken und die Technik funktioniert super. Es gab eine tolle Einführung und auch während der Runde gab es immer in den passenden Momenten genau das richtige quentchen an Anmerkungen das unsere Gedanken langsam auf den richtigen Weg gefunden haben. Es hat wirklich sehr viel Spaß gemacht und die Rätsel sind so genial aus getüfftelt, großes Lob an die Dame der wir diesen Raum zu verdanken haben. Sehr gerne kommen wir mit der gleichen Gruppe wieder um den anderen Raum zu Meistern.
Ich freue mich auch schon sehr darauf das Corona vorbei ist oder eine andere Möglichkeit gefunden wird um euch den Bau neuer Räume zu ermöglichen (da diese ja von diversen Stellen geprüft und abgenommen werden müssen)

Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend.
