The Story
Works by Ernst Barlach have disappeared from various museums around the world. In the Ernst Barlach Museum Ratzeburg, the "Stroller", a bronze figure from 1912, is suddenly missing. The investigating team of the CID has secured all traces and identified three suspects. So far there are no clear results. The museum was examined and sealed by the forensics team. Due to the unclear situation, it is to remain closed for the time being.
Why are Barlach figures being stolen from museums in Ratzeburg, New York, Los Angeles, Vienna, Zurich, in Jerusalem and even in Japan? Who is behind it? INTERPOL has no explanation either. Since the Ernst Barlach Museum Ratzeburg urgently depends on the income from visitors, a team of experts may be deployed to solve the case on the spot. In the process, they come across puzzling clues and connections ...
The players will be the team of experts. The first test matches will take place from summer 2024.
All interested students are welcome to help designing the Escape Room and to become game leaders.
You have the opportunity to work with professionals in the field of Escape Room design, film, theatre and art. You will learn to develop, produce and run an Escape Room with all its contents yourself.
You will be part of a creative team and will be able to run your own Escape Room from autumn 2024. You will find out how to work professionally, how to set up a project on your own, how to communicate it to the public, how to promote it and how to make it a success.
We work in individual workshops, each lasting 6 hours, including food and drinks. If you have participated in 6 workshops, you will receive a certificate that is great for your future job applications.
If you work with us until summer 2024, you can run the EscapeRoom in the museum and earn a fee. In addition, there is always a lot of fun, cohesion and good humour!
Recently, the television was on a visit. Here you get an impression of our project.
