Nachtwache. Ein Escape Game im Museum

In the organizer's words:

Summer vacation event for families and puzzle fans

May 30 to August 30, 2026, Mon-Sun.

What actually happens in the museum at night? When all the visitors have left the halls and the doors are closed? Does silence really return? Or do the exhibits awaken to a hidden life under the cover of darkness? This summer, the secret can be revealed - in the "Night Watch" escape game.

What can you expect?

A night watchman is out of action at the National Museum, so you have to take over the night tour. And then the surprises begin: A small campfire is already burning in the first room and strange noises can be heard. A mysterious torchlight suddenly surrounds you on the walls of the next room. And so it goes on in quick succession.

What initially looks like a quiet side job suddenly turns into a fast-paced puzzle hunt through the ages and epochs - from a hand axe from the Stone Age to an oil painting from the 17th century. Will you manage to unravel the secrets behind the mysterious events in time and restore order before the museum opens its doors in the morning?

Grab a flashlight and a night watch set and explore the dark exhibition rooms. An escape course with clever puzzles involving light and shadow awaits you - and along the way you will gain exciting insights into times gone by and the work of a museum today.
