What to keep in mind

So you know what to expect – here's openly and honestly what we do and what we don't.

What we offer

Outdoor city mission "Monster in the City" – the main program for kids aged 6 to 12. Tablet-based, from Escape Mission to the Stadtpark, kid-friendly story, active movement in the fresh air.

Indoor Escape Room for ages 14+ – for teenage birthdays. Challenging puzzles, atmospheric rooms.

What we deliberately DON'T do

No birthday party with cake on-site. With us it's about the game – not the party itself. Cake, gifts and celebration happen at home, in the park or at a café afterwards.

No program for kids under 6 and no Indoor program for kids aged 6 to 13. Indoor isn't suitable for under-14s – the atmosphere and puzzles are aimed at adults. Younger kids have far more fun at "Monster in the City" outdoors.

Why so clear about it? Because our booking volume doesn't allow it – and because we want to guarantee a genuinely great experience for every group, instead of doing too many things half-heartedly.

What is Monster in the City?

Monster in the City is an outdoor adventure for kids aged 6 to 13 – a GPS tablet mission that combines a scavenger hunt, clever puzzles and an immersive story into one single experience. Instead of a room, the game takes you outside through Vienna: play, solve, hunt monsters – and discover the city from a whole new angle.

Interactive Story

Professor Proof and his helper crow Mrs. Crow guide you through a funny, immersive story on the tablet. In the dialogues you make choices that shape how the story unfolds – you're part of it, not just watching.

GPS Scavenger Hunt

A GPS tablet guides you stage by stage through Vienna's Stadtpark. Along the way you solve puzzles, navigate the surroundings and track down hidden monsters.

3D Augmented Reality

Once you've cracked a mini-game, you scan the matching monster and experience it in 3D with sound, right in your real surroundings on the tablet.

Analog & Digital Puzzles

A mix of classic brain-teasers and digital mini-games. You interact with your surroundings and only reach the goal as a team.

Highscore & Diamonds

The faster and more accurately you solve, the more diamonds you collect – and the higher your team climbs the final highscore.

Photo Memory

Funny group photos are taken during the tour. You'll receive them by email after the game – the perfect memory of your monster hunt.

Play and learning combined: the puzzles touch on topics like nature conservation and water supply in a kid-friendly way, and they encourage teamwork and exploring the city together. Designed by experts – ideal for kids' birthdays, family outings and team events.

Common Questions

Everything parents need to know

Outdoor "Monster in the City": designed specifically for kids aged 6 to 12. Age-appropriate, active, outdoors in Vienna. Indoor Escape Room: ages 14+. The puzzles are challenging and the atmosphere is geared toward adults.
An outdoor tablet mission from Escape Mission to the Stadtpark designed specifically for kids aged 6 to 12. The group follows a kid-friendly monster story, solves playful puzzles at real locations around the city, and stays active outdoors in the fresh air the entire time. Weather-dependent – we'll reschedule for free in case of heavy rain.
No, we deliberately don't do that. With us it's all about the game experience – not the party itself. Cake, gifts and the birthday celebration happen at home, in the park, or at a café afterwards. Why so clear about it? Because at full booking volume we wouldn't be able to do justice to every group otherwise – this way we can focus fully on your game.
Outdoor "Monster in the City": 1 tablet for up to 6 kids, multiple tablets can run in parallel – so large groups are also possible. Indoor: up to 14 people (two rooms running in parallel with 7 players each), Indoor is 14+ only.
Outdoor "Monster in the City": €150 flat per tablet (1 tablet for up to 6 kids). At full capacity that's €25 per kid. Indoor Escape Room (14+): €98 for 2 players up to €175 for 7 players per room. All prices include VAT.
Outdoor "Monster in the City": around 2 to 2.5 hours out in Vienna. Indoor Escape Room: 60 minutes of pure playtime plus about 15 minutes of briefing. Both programs are timed so you still have plenty of time for the actual party afterwards.
Only partially. The Indoor Escape Room (14+) is available in German or English – handy for international teens or multilingual friend groups. Monster in the City, however, is only available in German, because the story and language components are designed specifically for German-speaking kids.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your booking. After that, 50% of the booking total applies; for no-shows, 100%. If the outdoor program is rescheduled due to heavy rain, there's of course no cancellation fee.
The team behind Escape Mission

Small, caring, independent

We're a small team from Vienna. Since 2013 we've designed and built every mission ourselves – every puzzle, every mechanism, every story. No franchise, no off-the-shelf. That's exactly why we can take the time to craft every detail with care and personally look after every group.

Just one room per mission – but packed with hand-built puzzles, mechanical surprises and loving details. Where big franchise operators cram five nearly empty rooms into one mission, we put everything into a single one. Honest, easygoing, made with love for the craft – you'll feel it in every mission. Indoor & weather-independent – also the perfect bad-weather plan in Vienna.

Built ourselves

All puzzles and mechanisms designed in Vienna – we craft every detail ourselves.

With love & care

Small means: personal attention for every group – no mass operation.

Indoor bilingual

Devils Mountain and The Alchemist bookable in German or English. Monster in the City is German only.
