A dark and mysterious journey into your own psyche awaits you... After years of suffering from sleep deprivation, you finally agree to take part in an experimental sleeping therapy that is highly dangerous, yet supposedly the most effective treatment for your suffering. Placed in a deep artificial sleep, the doctors instruct you to face your fears and battle your inner demons in a bizarre dreamworld in order to find peace. But be warned, if you are not successful within a 60 minute time frame, you will remain trapped in the dream world forever, never to wake again. Are you clever enough to wake up?

Die Luis'4 (escapelog.de) starteten bei Bigbreak Hamburg mit der Weihnachtsedition von Insomnia. Der Start ins Spiel beginnt mit einem sehr gelungenen Augenzwinkern. Der Raum ist bereits seit einiger Zeit auf dem Markt und hat dementsprechend doch recht viele klassische Rätsel. Diese wurden entsprechend dem neuen Setting angepasst, und das war durchaus gelungen. Man hatte die ganze Zeit doch recht viel zu tun, da sehr viele Rätsel gelöst werden mussten. Wir waren in einem guten Flow und kamen gut voran. Der spätere Teil des Raums ist sehr linear, und wir hatten ein Rätsel (Zahlenschloss) fälschlicherweise gelöst, welches noch nicht an der Reihe war. Das führte sowohl bei uns als auch bei der Gamemasterin ein wenig zur Verwirrung, da dann unklar war, wie es weitergeht. Zum Schluss hat es dann doch geklappt, und wir sind wieder erwacht.

We picked this up in some spare time after doing Skurrilum's games. Those are definitely the star of Hamburg, but this game was fun. I will say this: the way you get into the room is one of the most amusing mechanics for any escape room I've done.
Fun room with some unusual ideas, worth a visit if in Hamburg and you can afford the extra after Skurrilum and HIH (and a bit cheaper than those too). The opening of the game was strong and got us into the vibe for the rest; some cool set design also.

A fun set of rooms in the heart of Hamburg. We played Insomnia and Time Travel which were beautiful experiences with good puzzles and a great sense of exploration. Their third game also looked plenty of fun based on a brief walkthrough.
Insomnia by Big Break is an imaginative space with beautifully implemented ideas. The narrative of the room is largely reflected in the gameplay and puzzles. The creepiness factor is quite low.
