About EscapeVenture

We create story-driven escape experiences where the line between game and reality blurs — and for one hour, the adventure feels absolutely real.

Immersive Escape Rooms since the 1980s (in spirit)

Some moments stay with you forever. That feeling when the lights flicker, the countdown begins — and suddenly everything around you feels real. This is the kind of goosebumps we wanted to create when EscapeVenture was born.

Founder Alexander discovered early on how powerful stories can be when you draw people fully into them. Back in the 1980s, he developed several computer games for the Commodore 16 and later the cult classic Oil Imperium – a strategy game that fused tension, depth, and a new kind of interactive storytelling. What started in the digital realm now lives on in our physical escape rooms: experiences you don’t just play, but truly feel.

Not long after, Ingo joined — sharing the same passion for immersive worlds, cinematic staging, and technical precision. Together, they laid the foundation for a company that would become one of the most innovative escape-room providers in Germany.

With Veikko coordinating day-to-day operations with experience and dedication, EscapeVenture has grown into a team where creativity and organisation are perfectly aligned.

Today, EscapeVenture consists of around 30 dedicated game masters and branch managers who make sure that guests in Hamburg, Leipzig, Braunschweig, and Magdeburg can dive into completely new worlds every single day. They are the heart of our company — hosts, storytellers, and game masters all at once.

We believe that powerful experiences connect people — friends, families, teams, and colleagues. Our rooms are more than puzzles: they are stories you continue writing with every decision you make.

EscapeVenture is not an off-the-shelf product. It is a promise: that for one hour, you can forget everything around you — and discover a new side of yourself.
