More about Maniac

Carl Großmann - a name in Berlin that sends a chilling shiver through anyone who hears it.

He is a serial killer whose madness reaches far beyond what most would call maniac. His approach never changes: on Berlin’s shadowy streets he follows his victims, dragging them into a so-called horror house… a place from which, as legend insists, no one has ever made it out alive.

Even the police stand helpless, unable to collect solid evidence or bring him down. To keep disaster at bay, they’ve enforced a strict curfew that bans everyone from being outdoors after 10 p.m.

But after a long evening filled with drinks and great music at your best friend’s place, it happens… Only two blocks separate you from home when the clock tower announces midnight. A cold shiver crawls up your back, pushing you to quicken your pace.

Then, without warning, everything fades to black. When awareness returns, you find yourself lying in a dark room with no windows…

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.

Maniakaal

Berlijntrip: kamer 8/9
Wij hebben nog wat vrije tijd en een escapecenter net om de hoek. Dat vraagt om een last-minute boeking. Ter plaatse vragen we wat er nog vrij is. Maniac is eigenlijk vanaf drie personen, maar voor twee ervaren rotten maken ze wel een uitzondering. Oh ja, er loopt daar ook iemand rond, geen probleem, toch? Aangezien de drang om te escapen toch nog groter is dan de angst voor de acteur, beslissen we om ervoor te gaan.
We krijgen eerst in een zaaltje een introductiefilmpje te zien, waarna we naar een redelijk duistere kamer gebracht worden. De inkleding van het geheel is best ok. Het is een redelijk creepy setting, maar ze hadden toch nog wat meer passende decoratie mogen toevoegen om het geheel helemaal af te maken. Nu is het allemaal wat braafjes. We zijn alleszins op onze hoede, want het is toch altijd spannend als je weet dat er daar nog iemand anders rondloopt. Toch kunnen we het eerste kwartier nog vlotjes puzzelen, maar dan zien we plots in onze ooghoek iets bewegen. Het heerschap is in de kamer naast ons. Uiteraard is er dan wel ergens een puzzel waarbij je je hand in een gat door de muur moet steken om aan de andere kant – waar die “brave” man zich bevindt – iets te doen. We doen net geen schaar-steen-papier om te beslissen wie het erop gaat wagen. Oef, gelukkig geen afgekapte ledematen.
Eigenlijk verloopt het puzzelen redelijk vlot. Enkel op het einde vinden we geen sleutel om via de laatste deur te ontsnappen. Gelukkig krijgen we van de gamemaster een halve tip, die ons verder helpt. Oef, ontsnapt aan de Maniac!

Conclusie: leuke en spannende griezelkamer.
