How Your Escape the Forest in Cologne Works

1

Welcome & Briefing at the Forest Edge

We meet at an agreed meeting point at the forest area (e.g., parking lot, public transport stop). Our team guides welcome you, introduce the exciting story, and explain the game rules. Teams are divided and equipped with gear.

Start of the Forest Mission

A mysterious incident in the forest – time is running! Teams start their mission and follow the first clues deeper into the forest. Hidden stations await with puzzles: crack codes, follow tracks, combine objects. Only through teamwork can you progress!

The route leads through different forest areas – from dense tree groups to clearings to special natural places. At each station, new challenges await: logic puzzles, hide-and-seek, combination tasks. And in between, your team enjoys nature!
