The mission: save Zurich from a blackout

An outdoor escape room for everyone aged 16 and over – and the most interactive game we offer. A nationwide power cut is imminent: hackers have taken control of the grid, and only your team of agents can stop them. Over 120 minutes, 10 exciting puzzles lead you through the most beautiful squares of Zurich’s Old Town, starting at Predigerplatz. Find the hidden nodes, take control of the emergency generator and unmask the mastermind Karl Lehmann before the lights go out in the city on the Limmat.

What makes Blackout special: up to 6 teams play at the same time, head-to-head. The teams interact directly with each other throughout the game, Blackout scores 98% for interactivity. That is why it is our first choice for team building and company outings in Zurich: suspense, movement and team spirit in one.

See Zurich, one of the world’s smallest big cities, through new eyes and enjoy the ultimate game experience.
