More about The Traveller
A strange journalist, called „the traveller”, lives in a tiny back room of a small Cologne school. Well, actually she hardly lives there, because most of the time she is on a journey.
During her long voyages she encountered something that horrified her: people disappear. Everywhere. Just as if they had never existed. No one seems to notice. But she is sure – sooner or later the whole world is in danger! What is the root of this effect, or, who is doing this?
The traveller herself took great risks to figure this out – but from her last journey she did not return. However a faint signal, a message of her, made its way back home to Cologne...
Can somebody decipher it?
Your Mission:
When you enter her little apartment in Cologne, you hear unusual sounds, there’s electricity in the air, and a strange tension around. You have just arrived when you find the traveller’s research notes and discoveries.
Can you finish her work, and save the world from the dark power? Will you be able to find your way out and save yourselves to help humankind? Time is running...
Pick up the traces of the traveller and save the people oft he world!

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.
Write a reviewA whole lot of puzzles
This has everything: some low-tech stuff from the early days of escape rooms with one or two nice twists (no classic locks!), some (partially) beautifully made high-tech stuff, some story elements which are not very helpful in order to solve puzzles, but which don‘t overstay their welcome and … puzzles, puzzles, puzzles!
Most of the time it is non-linear (which I like) with several (linear) reveals.
You have the possibility to take notes and you really should. Teamwork is very important here and I can clearly see why three players are the minimum.
Many puzzles are not really organic in regard to the story, but I don’t care. I want puzzles with a lot of variety, clear structure (even when I fail to see it in the first place) and dedicated goals I want to achieve. This room delivers.
The decor is a clunky in a lot of parts, other parts are done very well, but in the debriefing we learned that they constantly improve on several aspects.
Note that you have to read a lot in order to get the goal of the puzzles, in a few cases spoken text will tell you what to expect, but each text is kept very short, so this did not bother me a lot.
