Escape the clutches of the evil puppeteer!

In the steampunk universe, the theatre enjoys a high status. The cultural offer is diverse, but the art of puppetry has a particularly high reputation. As cultivated lovers of contemporary puppet theatre, you come across a competition that promises free tickets for a unique show experience and entices with grand words. Naturally, you take part and only a few days later you find an envelope in your mailbox with golden tickets. The inscription announces that you have been selected. But for what?

Curiously, you go to the address given. There you are welcomed by a shady, hunchbacked figure who speaks of a “new form of puppetry” and guides you through dark corridors deep into the building. Finally, you are told that the performance will start in one hour and that you shall make yourselves comfortable, whilst being pushed into a dark room and hearing the door being shut close behind you. It quickly dawns on you that something’s not quite right here and you ask yourself whether you are supposed to be more than just spectators here…

The curious backstory for this game involves a puppeteer who finds a magical talking wooden puppet, who helps him make his fortune, but then one night runs off with all the money. To which the puppeteer's response is to make a replacement puppet... from human limbs. Specifically your limbs. Frankly it sounds like that wooden puppet made the right decision to run for the hills. In any case, your team will need to deal with being imprisoned in a faux-Victorian workshop decorated with a mixt...

A review of three of the games at Final Escape: Robot Paranoia, Prison Break and Steampunk Puppeteer. Three good games with Robot and Puppeteer having amazing set design and theatre while Prison Break had an older feel but stronger puzzles. Robot and Prison Break also had a fantastic sense of exploration.

The Puppeteer scores especially with atmosphere and story. The overall package is just right here and you'll gladly let yourself be carried away into another world. As with many story-driven rooms, the puzzles fall behind a bit. 

The next Escape Room we targeted in Berlin was a super stylish room by the company “Final Escape”. The optics of their “Steampunk Puppeteer” room look impressive – but did the game match the design?
