More about The Subway

Experience a unique Escape Room adventure inside an actual subway carriage of Wiener Linien! In this complex and action driven experience, your team must prevent an attack!

You are playing a team of Wiener Linien technicians and your day starts like any other regular day: a subway train has broken down inside the Volkstheater station and you want to return it to the depot. But then everything goes completely different…

The (extended) adventure utilises unique, immersice technologies, escape room communication and impressive 3D-animation. Save Vienna, while uncovering its legends and mysteries…

The best game experience is with 4 participants. We accept ups to 6 players (but with 6 players, just at the beginning, it may be slightly crowded for 5–8 minutes). Be sure to arrive and be ready 5 minutes BEFORE your appointment to ensure a full play time.

The total score of a review doesn't have to be the average of your subscores. Sometimes a room feels like it should deserve a higher (or lower) rating than the exact sum of its parts.

This room was visited more than 4 years ago. The situation may have changed.

Lots of potential, some missed chances

The setup of this is amazing and the gameplay has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, we went soon after the room opened and there were some kinks yet - we were told that nothing requires force yet there was one mechanic that actually required a bit more pushing than expected. That has possibly been resolved by now. We also made the mistake of playing this with 6 people. The puzzles are set up in a linear fashion and there is simply not enough room for everyone to participate. I would advise going with 3-4 people max.
