Alma Park, Europe’s largest indoor leisure park in the Ruhr region, offers a range of experiences for adventure-seekers and puzzle fans. Its escape rooms combine mental challenges with opportunities for teamwork and creative thinking. This guide introduces the themes and offers tips for planning and enjoying your visit.

Alma Park’s escape rooms

Alma Park’s live escape adventures take your group into worlds of puzzles and secrets. Each room has its own theme and challenges players in a different way.

Der Heilige Gral (The Holy Grail)

Few legends have captured the imagination like the Holy Grail. Myths and stories surround this mysterious object from the past.

In the game’s story, a group of treasure hunters has found a clue suggesting that the Grail is real and close at hand. Their search leads into a mine tunnel in the Ruhr region. There is only an hour’s oxygen left in the story, and the way back is blocked.

Find the Holy Grail and claim eternal life, or become its silent guardian in the mine: that is the challenge the story sets your team.

Nightmare Hotel

You and your friends set out for a relaxing trip into the countryside. A wrong turn leaves you lost, and darkness has fallen by the time you spot a light: the Dreams Hotel. You decide to stay the night. As the door slams behind you, you realise the dream is about to become a nightmare.

Der Erbe Draculas (Dracula’s Heir)

Private detective Sir Peter Morgan has sent you to Transylvania to investigate a series of brutal murders. You travel the final stretch in an old horse-drawn cart, but it suddenly stops. The horses and driver have vanished, and a pool of blood suggests what happened. Who could have done this, and so quickly? Your team must find out.

The Saw Massacre

Trapped. Locked in. How will you find a way out?

In this horror scenario, a disturbed psychopath has abducted and chained you up. Like his previous victims, you have one hour to confront your sins and escape his maze. Force will get you nowhere: you will need to think your way out.

Live or die: the story puts the choice in your hands.

Das Geheimnis der 666 Passagiere (The Mystery of the 666 Passengers)

In this fictional mystery, 666 passengers disappear from cruise ships every year. Ms Penny, a permanent cruise-ship guest, has long suspected a secret cult. When a child vanishes too, she hires private detective Sir Peter Morgan and his interns: your team.

An anonymous contact smuggles you aboard so you can investigate Ms Penny’s suspicions unnoticed. You wait for her to arrive, but she never comes.

Sir Peter Morgans Kids Academy

Solve tricky tasks and show your physical skills at the Academy. Complete the puzzles and you may be ready for a larger assignment in private detective Sir Peter Morgan’s world.
