“We did the Chainsaw Room and the gaming experience was great. The puzzles were varied and very exciting. In addition to the puzzles, Inspector Winters offered us a unique gaming experience. This escape room is highly recommended”

“Simply amazing, we’ve already been to 3 other escape rooms in Hamburg, but this one is by far the best we’ve experienced.
Great people, great rooms, thank you for the experience. We’ll be back again.”

“Simply GREAT!!!! We were there yesterday as a group of 4 and were allowed to capture our treasures as smugglers. Our commissioner “Hamburg” alias Maria did a fantastic job guiding us through the game. We had a lot of fun and can only recommend it! Thank you very much for the great time! Best wishes from Moscow, Preetz, Eutin and New York 😁🥳🥳❤️❤️”

There are many escape rooms in Hamburg – and they are usually popular and a welcome change for adventure seekers. But we have raised the bar for you – and asked ourselves the question: How can you take ordinary escape rooms to the next level? And the answer is: for a real goosebump experience here in Hamburg, we’re not only making the escape room bigger, but also better – with live actors!
Our live play is a perfect upgrade! You play a fully immersive escape room experience in which you have to master state-of-the-art cooperative puzzles, varied logic puzzles and various haptic mechanics. In addition, only in OPOLUM will you have an actor at your side who will give you an immersive introduction, dramatically advance the story in a targeted and selective manner during the escape room and stage the maximum epic finale of the escape room! Our players say: “The OPOLUM actors bring the escape room to life!”
Discover now our Escape Room Hamburg and let us convince you!
In recent years, OPOLUM has become an expert for large groups. Large groups want to play the same experience at the same time! We have been developing the right games ourselves for years and our customers are delighted!
The Speicherstadt is a World Heritage Site! And the OPOLUM is right in the middle of it! In the pandemic, we moved the puzzles outside! Today we are the market leader because we develop all outdoor games ourselves!
In an escape room, you are given a task that is wrapped up in a story. In the “Chainsaw” escape room, a figure is up to mischief in an abandoned warehouse. As detectives, you have to get to the bottom of it. In the “Smuggler” escape room, you have to smuggle valuable crates out of the storage facility. To accomplish this task, you have to complete several subtasks – finding clues, solving puzzles, cracking codes, opening containers, deciphering messages, etc.
The game master, an employee, explains all the rules at the beginning, monitors the game and helps if the situation seems hopeless. The special feature of OPOLUM: you are greeted directly by an actor in the appropriate role. This puts you straight into the story. This is only possible in OPOLUM. That’s why the OPOLUM is the 4th most popular escape room in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) according to the TUI ranking
An escape room is equally suitable for all age groups – especially for people who enjoy solving puzzles, puzzling and combining. It is ideal to experience the adventure together with friends or family, but companies and businesses also use the escape room for team-building measures and shared magical moments with colleagues. Overcome mysterious challenges together and promote team spirit!
The “Chainsaw” escape room is suitable for ages 16 and up, as it has a somewhat mysterious and dark design. The “Smuggler” escape room is suitable for ages 14 and up.
It depends on the size of the room! In our rooms, up to 20 people can play the “ChainSAW – The Dangerous Game” room at the same time. This makes it the largest of its kind in our city. In the normal immersive mode with acting, the “Chainsaw” escape room is suitable for up to 10 people. The “Smuggler” escape room can be played by up to 6 people.
On average, an escape room lasts between 60 and 90 minutes – depending on how quickly you solve the tasks as a team and reach your destination.
However, there are also so-called pop-up escape rooms, which are usually developed for promotions and often only last 10 minutes.
Our escape rooms last 75 minutes. The introduction takes about 15 minutes and the game itself 60 minutes.
The puzzles in our escape rooms are highly varied and entertaining. There are picture puzzles, logic puzzles, encrypted clues whose codes need to be cracked, hidden objects that need to be found and acoustic or visual puzzles that are solved through logical combinations and optimal team communication. We particularly like to emphasize the variety. We combine technically advanced puzzles that require all players at the same time, analog classic locks and haptic mechanics.
In other escape rooms, you can simply have clues displayed on monitors in different languages, for example. But since everything happens live with actors, we limit ourselves to the German language.
In 2026, however, our rooms will probably also be available in English
Our escape rooms feature live actors. We have been offering this type of escape room since 2021. The result: 2500 Google reviews with 4.9 out of 5 stars. But what is our secret? How can you imagine it? Our actors interact casually with you in character. It’s very informal and feels very real. If you really play along, the actors will respond. If you are rather quiet and want to experience the story passively, then our actors adapt to this and tell more instead of interacting. Every group is different and our actors know that and adapt to you! You’ve never experienced escape rooms this personalized.
No! The actors give you an immersive introduction to the story. In the middle section there is the next performance, which is important for the story. And then at the end there is a big, brilliant, action-packed finale that you won’t find in any other escape room! And a little tip: when the actors come into the room, it’s part of the story, not because they have to help you. Assistance is provided in other ways.
