GEHEIMGANG 188 – MORE THAN ESCAPING
At Geheimgang 188 the well-known concept of Escape Games has been enhanced through storytelling: instead of escaping the room you experience an adventurous story in real time.
Storytelling
At Geheimgang 188 a fascinating story takes you into another world for one hour. To us the most important thing is not to simply string together loose puzzles, but to have them influence the story of the game.
Hints and riddles
Find the hints hidden within the room and solve all the riddles to complete your mission. You will need brains, observational skills, cleverness and cooperation when solving the mysteries. But beware: you only have 60 minutes. The clock is ticking…
A whole new world
As soon as you enter Geheimgang 188 you will feel like you’re in a new, undiscovered world. The setting, the smell and the narrative: immerse yourself in a completely different reality.
Attention to detail
Everything at Geheimgang 188 is handmade and the decoration is carefully arranged. And of course, every self-designed riddle is one of a kind.
Geheimgang 188 was the first Escape Game to open its gates in Winterthur. Fiction and reality melt into a unique adventure.

The puzzle box ‘The First Robot’ the Outdoor Escape Game “Schatz der Sulzergang” and our online game ‘Sherlock Down’ are only available in German.
Since the puzzles are quite difficult to solve, we do not recommend groups consisting of children only. However, if you accompany them and play, for example, as a family, the kids are a great asset and will certainly enjoy the game – who doesn’t like to slip into the role of a detective!?
We recommend groups of kids only from the age of twelve onwards. Our game masters monitor the groups via cameras and will ensure to provide the support they need to find their way through the game.
No, absolutely not. It’s an adventure you’ll experience in real time but it doesn’t contain any horror-like surprises.
Our rooms are designed in a way that you can exit through at least one door at any point during the game and we assure you that you will never be locked in. Additionally, we believe that the roooms are large enough to feel safe.
Right across the street in Hall 53 at Katharina-Sulzer-Platz there is a parking lot (for a fee). Apart from that, the ‘Lagerplatz-Areal’ is car-free. We are also easily accessible by public transport (only a 10 minute walk from Winterthur main station).
This is not a problem as long as you don’t exceed the number of six people, which is the maximum of players in each room. If you booked two or three games simultaneously and, due to sudden cancellations you won’t require all of them, please contact us to discuss your options.
Sure! All common debit, credit as well as Postfinance cards are accepted in the catacombs.
Unfortunately not. For safety reasons, we kindly ask you not to bring your dog along.
You’ll find all the things you need to solve the puzzles in the room. Except maybe your reading glasses…
In all our Escape Games it is sufficient if one person can see colors.
With good communication everything works out. There’s maximum one riddle per game, where colors are included.
The entrance leads underground via ramp. With assistance it is possible to descend this ramp. Two of our games can be played with wheelchairs: ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and ‘Special Unit Meteor’.
Unfortunately, we cannot speak of total accessibility – but with support it is achievable.
No, unfortunately you are not allowed to play our Escape Games drunk.
