Od pomysłu do realizacji
A Story for the Vaults
First Escape plays The Temple in real underground vaults on two levels. The story was made for that space:- urban archaeologists in hidden caverns under Vienna.
- the treasure of a crusading order.
- two levels of real vaults, deep under the old town.
A Feature-Length Custom Room
We built the whole room, from the set to the effects:- altars, reliefs, a skull wall and a stained glass window.
- chains of effects: one solved puzzle sets off the next.
- music, light, smoke, visual effects and hints for 110 minutes of play.
A Highlight in Vienna
Players call The Temple a real highlight in Vienna, and the venue keeps growing:- TERPECA nominee 2025.
- 4.9 on Tripadvisor from 462 reviews, Travelers’ Choice 2026.
- a third project ordered from us in 2026.
