Neptune’s Curse – Hidden in Hamburg

Like all of Hidden in Hamburgs rooms, Neptune’s Curse is on board of a ship. Still, this one is different, since it really is built into the museum ship Rickmer Rickmers.

Legend has it, that the former captain of this three masted beauty had a deal with Neptune himself, but tricked the god of the sea and stole his trident. Not very amused by that, he demands his fabled weapon back, and you only get one hour to retrieve it.

Starting in the cabin of the captain, you soon discover secrets and make your way deep into the hull of the former freight ship. The room has an almost unbeatable nautical theme and interesting puzzles that require you to work together (4 or more people needed).

The only grain of salt may be the extensive use of lighting to showcase the riddles you are supposed to work on, which makes the room mostly linear. A must for all with sailor’s blood, wannabe pirates, ship enthusiasts and people who enjoy themed escape rooms!

The Forbidden Game – Hidden in Hamburg

Of all the rooms we played on the Museum Ship Cap San Diego, the Forbidden Game is for sure the one that will stick with us the most! It all starts fairly innocent in an old attic with a faint knocking in the walls but the room grows progressively eery and creepy as you continue to play the evil game and make your way through the secrets of the haunted house.

Are you ready to play?

Theme: 9/10
Puzzles: 6.5/10
Scary: 6.5/10 (depending on GM)
Score: 7/10

Overall we had a heart-racing but great experience in this room which was largely due to our GM Betty who did an amazing job!
