Cat in the Bag

In Berlin-Mitte, near Nordbahnhof on Chausseestraße, Cat in the Bag operates three thematically distinct escape rooms: Prison, Bunker, and Ski Hut, each with 60 minutes of playtime. What sets this small, independent provider apart is its extended program – with formats for birthdays, team building, and romantic evenings, as well as an escape game by mail for home, starting from 24.50 Euros.

Arriving in Berlin-Mitte: Location and First Impressions

Cat in the Bag’s escape rooms are located in the heart of Berlin, not far from Oranienburger Straße with its restaurants, bars, and pubs. If you’re coming from Nordbahnhof, it’s barely a five-minute walk to Chausseestraße 15 in 10115 Berlin. The area is densely populated with dining options, making it easy to combine an evening with an escape room and a subsequent dinner. Should there be any waiting times, these are sweetened with complimentary coffee and tea. The ambiance remains deliberately modest: a waiting area, lockers, a small team – not a high-gloss showroom, but a place that focuses on the essentials.

Cat in the Bag: Three Rooms, Three Worlds

Logical thinking and abstraction skills are essential in these escape games to get out of the romantic Ski Hut, the mystical Bunker, or the Prison. The three scenarios are clearly distinct from each other: The Prison is suitable for beginners, while the Bunker and Ski Hut offer particularly challenging puzzles. The live escape games can be played in German, English, or Russian.

Whoever enters the Ski Hut immerses themselves in an Alpine-designed scenario: a snowstorm, a small hut in the middle of nowhere, locked doors, and a house that seems to come alive. The Ski Hut surprises with some special effects and truly creative puzzles. In the Bunker, on the other hand, a thriller scenario awaits: a former BND agent has learned that an attack is planned – the players fall under suspicion. Additionally, there is a walkie-talkie so that the team can receive advice and support at any time.

Prices and Occasions

For the Ski Hut, prices start at 78 Euros for two players. The escape game by mail can be ordered online for 24.50 Euros and arrives at home in two to four days. This way, Cat in the Bag also offers a format outside its own premises that is suitable as a gift idea. For companies, there are customized team-building events that promote collaboration and fun, and for couples, a special romantic adventure in the Ski Hut. Those who want to fully experience the romantic potential of the Ski Hut should play as a couple and book the romance package. This way, Cat in the Bag works both as an outing for groups of friends and as a setting for very different occasions.
