Do you want to be unbeatable in a Mystery Room? It’s not just about being clever. It’s about having the right roles in your team. When everyone plays the role they’re best at, you’ll solve the puzzles faster and have more fun along the way. Here are the five most important roles you need on your team.

The Detective

The detective is curious, uncovers even the most elusive clues and reports them in detail to the Helicopter. No detail is too small.

The helicopter

The ‘helicopter’ hovers above the team, has the big picture and knows who is doing what. The ‘helicopter’ gathers information and acts as the team’s hub for knowledge-sharing.

Ask Jørgen

Ask Jørgen has the courage to ask the silly questions that shed new light on the mystery and get the team back on track. Often, it is precisely the unexpected question that untangles the knot.

The German

Whilst the Helicopter keeps track of the people, the German keeps track of all the items. The German knows exactly which puzzles have been solved and which items are still in play. Ordnung muss sein.

The Cheerleader

No bit of progress is too small to celebrate. The cheerleader keeps spirits high throughout the game and is always on hand to lend a helping hand and offer a well-deserved pat on the back.

Frequently asked questions about roles in an escape room

How many people do you need to play a Mystery Room?

A Mystery Room is typically suitable for groups of a few people up to a dozen, depending on the room. The more roles you can cover, the stronger your team will be.

Does everyone have to have a fixed role?

The roles are there to help, not to restrict you. Most teams naturally slip into them as they go along, and the most important thing is that you work together and listen to one another.

MYSTERY MAKER'S FIRST DECADE

On the occasion of our 10th birthday, Tuesday 25 August, this blog post will look back on the decade that has now passed. Birthdays are always a great opportunity to reflect and think back on the past years. With a bit of reflection and contemplation, you are reminded of all the good things you have learnt and gained over the years. It's a great opportunity to emphasise how grateful we are for Mystery Maker's first decade and how much we look forward to the next.

Let's start with the latest first, and then move chronologically back to where it all started...

WE ARE THE TRAVELLER'S PREFERRED CHOICE

Not only did we celebrate our anniversary in August, we were also presented with the Tripadvisor award, Travellers' Choice Awards 2020. The award is a huge recognition and praise that we are very, very proud of. Each year, the award is presented to experiences, sights, restaurants and attractions that consistently receive the best reviews from travellers on Tripadvisor. In 2020, Mystery Makers has been part of the top 10% of the best reviews worldwide. This award is very special to us, not only because it's a great recognition of our work, but because the recognition comes from you, our guests. It really warms our hearts when we feel and are reassured that you like our mysterious and adventurous experiences. We started Mystery Makers with the ambition to create intelligent entertainment that would give our guests a different, fun and exciting experience. When you give our experiences good reviews, it shows that we are on our way to fulfil our ambition, and we are very grateful and proud of that.

2020 was not the only year Mystery Makers was honoured with an important award. In 2018, we won Berlingske's AOK award for the city's best cultural experience, and back in 2012, Mystery Makers became Danish champion in creative entrepreneurship and won the Creative Business Cup. Every time we receive a new award that recognises our work, it makes us proud and happy to the core. It motivates us to continue to develop and innovate our experiences so that they continue to be the kind of entertainment that our guests like - that's the most important ambition.

FROM COPENHAGEN TO AUSTRIA

Ever since we opened our first Mystery Room, The Lab in 2014, we have continued to add new experiences to our mysterious world. Three Mystery Rooms have been added, along with our four Mystery Hunts, which provide adventurous experiences in historic areas around Copenhagen, including the old barracks at Kastellet. In 2018, we expanded with another experience outside Denmark, in the beautiful historic city of culture, Vienna. We're excited to continue our mystical adventure elsewhere in the world, and what better place than the Art History Museum in Vienna. We think this location fits perfectly with our philosophy of intelligent entertainment, and we are grateful for the opportunity to give even more international guests an insight into our mystical world.

A decade has passed, but a new one has begun

When we look back on the past decade, we are filled with joy and pride! Everything we have experienced and achieved during the ten years that Mystery Makers has existed, we can only thank our guests for. We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for all of you. The last decade has been the greatest ever and we're already looking forward to the next one in the company of our wonderful guests - we're confident that the second decade will be even better than the first.
