Bergkamen, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia in the Ruhr region, is known for its exciting mining history and its numerous local recreation areas. The city has a long tradition of coal mining, which remains alive in the cityscape and through monuments such as the “Weddinghofen mining colony” and the memorial on Monopoly Square. The Monopol colliery, once the industrial heart of the city, is now a symbol of the past and offers space for cultural events and markets. A particular highlight in Bergkamen is the Oberaden Roman camp, which dates back to a Roman military installation and provides insights into the ancient history of the region. For nature lovers, Bergkamen offers the local recreation area “Erholungspark Heil” and the “Marina Rünthe”, a large sports boat harbor on the Datteln-Hamm Canal, which offers opportunities for water sports, boat trips and walking. The marina is a popular meeting place and event location, with restaurants and cafés right on the water. Bergkamen is also part of the “Route of Industrial Heritage”, which connects important places of the industrial past of the Ruhr area. The city offers a mix of history, culture and nature and is an interesting destination for anyone who wants to experience the transformation and charm of the Ruhr region.
What is an Escape Room?
Outdoor escape games are interactive games in which players have to solve puzzles and overcome challenges in order to escape a specific location or scenario. In contrast to traditional escape rooms, outdoor escape games take place in real environments, e.g. in parks, on streets or at historical sights. Players must use their problem-solving skills and teamwork to decipher clues and complete tasks in order to progress through the game and ultimately escape from the given area. These games offer a unique and exciting way to explore a city while challenging the mind and having fun with friends or family.
In a typical escape room, you’ll encounter various challenges that test both your logical thinking and dexterity. Each game is framed by an exciting story that provides context for the puzzles and the environment. Themes range from criminal cases and historical adventures to science fiction scenarios – making each experience even more captivating.
Escape rooms are not only a great way to spend time with friends or family but also an opportunity to improve your problem-solving skills. Teamwork is the key to overcoming challenges and achieving the shared goal. The thrill, the ticking clock, and the suspense of whether you’ll manage to escape in time create an unforgettable atmosphere that’s sure to captivate you.

Why Are Escape Rooms So Popular?
How Does an Escape Room Work?
A classic Escape Room follows a simple yet captivating concept: Participants are led into a themed room, given a brief introduction to the story and rules – then the clock starts ticking. Within usually 60 minutes, they must solve puzzles, decipher clues, and uncover hidden mechanisms to successfully complete the game. Communication, teamwork, and creative problem-solving are essential, as many challenges can only be overcome through cooperation.
While traditional Escape Rooms offer an intense experience in enclosed spaces, Outdoor Escape Games take this concept outside. Here, you have up to 2 hours to complete challenges – with the added advantage of being able to pause at any time. Whether for a coffee break, a short rest, or to enjoy the surroundings, the game remains flexible. Your playtime is still fairly measured, as no tasks can be solved during a pause. This way, you combine the puzzle fun of an Escape Room with the freedom and adventure of an outdoor experience!

"We played with 2 teams. It was important to us that we didn't split up as a group. It worked very well with this escape game. We all enjoyed the route and the opportunity to have a coffee in between was perfect for the outing.
