The Spiritophone
The Secret Life of Nikola Tesla
Tesla's most hidden project: a machine to reach something beyond our perception. The question is not whether you can make contact — but what answers.
Two immersive escape rooms in Vienna, an outdoor experiment on the Old General Hospital campus, and team formats with a second layer. You can simply play — or find out how you think, decide and work together under pressure.
What are you looking for?
Date night, birthday, hen party, school trip, Christmas party or leadership workshop: the occasion changes. The experience stays remarkable.
The Spiritophone and Back to Reality. Two worlds, two rooms, one hour full of decisions.

JGA, Geburtstag, Weihnachtsfeier & private Events.
Story-driven challenges across Vienna for groups, schools and teams.
Profiling, perception, negotiation, leadership and team dynamics.
The MindQuest Difference
Play it straight, or look deeper. On request, MindQuest turns an escape room into a field of observation for collaboration, decision-making and communication.
Explore team formatsYou have sixty minutes. The rest is your story.
An immersive story, not a pile of puzzle sheets.
Smart-room logic with a dynamic game flow.
For friends, dates, families, teams and anyone who likes thinking differently.
The room shows not only was you solve. It shows how you work.
Game flow, solution paths, failed attempts and timing provide objective signals.
Trained observation adds communication, roles, leadership and how you handle dead ends.
In the debriefing, observations turn into concrete impulses for the team and its leadership.
Escape & Experience
Choose between two indoor missions and one outdoor format. For private groups just as much as for teams, schools and special occasions.
The Secret Life of Nikola Tesla
Tesla's most hidden project: a machine to reach something beyond our perception. The question is not whether you can make contact — but what answers.
Escape the fiction. Question reality.
The room feels familiar, everything follows a logic. Only reality is off — and that is what you have to escape.
A puzzle trail through the Old General Hospital — the courtyards start at our doorstep. You follow the traces of its scientists and scholars until it becomes clear: you have been part of the experiment all along.
Prices
You book the room, not individual seats. With seven of you the hour costs €28 per head instead of €47 — the best reason to bring one more.
Price applies per room and per session · paid online in advance · companies receive an invoice

No team building for its own sake. You can simply play together — or use the room as a field of observation for communication, roles, leadership, perception and decision-making, and carry the insights straight into daily work.

FAQ
Regular escape room slots can be booked and paid online through the calendar. Custom events, company formats and larger groups are planned individually to suit the occasion.
Each room takes 2 to 7 players. For larger groups both rooms run in parallel and, depending on the format, in several waves.
You book per group, not per seat: €94 for two, €114 for three, €136 for four, €160 for five, €186 for six and €196 for seven. The larger the group, the lower the price per person.
No. The escape rooms are bookable as an ordinary leisure experience. The observation and business layer is added only if you want it.
Yes. For hen parties, birthdays, Christmas parties and other group occasions we combine the game, the lounge and additional services.
From 10 years, and between 10 and 13 accompanied by at least one adult. From 14 you can play without one. The rooms are deliberately kept dark — tell us at the briefing if that is an issue and we adjust the lighting.
The rooms are dark, there are a few narrow spots, and parts of the set can open unexpectedly. There are no strobe or flash effects, and nothing is designed to startle anyone. If you are pregnant, or live with epilepsy, a heart condition or anxiety in confined spaces, the decision is yours — tell us at the briefing and we adjust the lighting and explain in advance what is coming. The door of the room is never locked, so you can leave at any time.
Your game time gets shorter and the price stays the same — the slot cannot be moved because the next group follows. If you are more than 15 minutes late we cannot start, because the briefing no longer fits. If it gets tight, call us.
A booking is binding. If you let us know at least 48 hours before your slot, we will move it as a gesture of goodwill to another date within one month.
There are seven steps before the lift, so access is not fully step-free. If that matters, call ahead and we will see what is possible.
A strict no-alcohol rule applies inside the rooms. Afterwards the bar is open — the room first, the prosecco after.
Yes. Outdoor experiences and selected group formats work well for school classes, students and larger teams. Schedule and price are planned to match the size of the group.
