The Watchmaker's Secret for 4 + Meet the Owner — Harz Escape, Wernigerode, Germany (TERPECA Finalist 2023, 2024 & 2025)

Harz Escape is based in a historic half-timbered house in the medieval centre of Wernigerode, Germany — one of the most beautiful towns in the Harz mountains. Their game The Watchmaker's Secret has been a TERPECA finalist for three consecutive years, 2023, 2024 and 2025 — placing it among the most consistently recognised escape rooms in the world. Escape the Review called it "a prime example of how to get the maximum from a very limited space," praising the puzzle design and game flow as where Harz Escape truly shines. The premise: next to the escape room is a small watchmaker's shop. The owner, Regina Jürgensen, appears quiet and unassuming — but why are there such strange and alarming noises coming from her shop? A 75-minute adventure full of surprising twists. This prize gives 4 players the full experience plus a personal meeting with the owner afterwards (Subject to their availability)
