Dream Labs: Die Legende vom herzlosen Piraten

The drive to Bad Steben which takes you to a small town in a lovely rural area and once there we headed for the address which appeared to be a small commercial building in a mainly residential area. We entered the venue and walked into the Dream Lab, where we were greeted by a pristine white room with a rather medical-looking receptionist. For a second or two I thought we’d wandered into some sort of cosmetic surgery business and not an escape room. It wouldn’t have surprised me if they receptionist had offered to wax Heiner’s legs!But we had entered the Dream Lab, where they can place you and your team into the same lucid dream using their unique technology. The reception area and the staff were perfectly dressed for the theme of the venue, and immersed you into the theme from the second you walked in.We were then briefed on the procedure to enter the team’s dream, which was a wonderfully interactive briefing. We chose to into the world of pirates, at the moment that’s the only choice, but the Dream Labs are expanding their range of dreams and there will be other adventures soon.As for the room…I mean dream… well it was more than fabulous. The transition taking you from the waking world to the collective dream was very well executed and gives the team a moment to prepare for entering the pirate world… and what a pirate world it is! We arrived in a rather seedy looking pirate bar, which is located on an old, docked ship.
