Rise of the Phoenix • Escape Room
Ominous • Thrilling • Funny
With Rise of the Phoenix, DarkPark embarks on a new phase: the rollout of The DarkVerse. In this unique DarkPark universe, with every game you play you’ll uncover more about the storylines that connect our Escape Rooms and Home Adventures. But be warned: with every step you take into The DarkVerse, you will become a part of the story yourself all the more.
Dr. Phoenix was an all-round respected and passionate scientist. As the head of Phoenix Institute, he used all his knowledge in service of improving quality of life. Tests on birds seemed successful, but when he started human experiments without permission, the medical world turned its back on him. Convinced he was right, his passion changed into an obsession with defeating death. He began preaching that mortality was merely an illness for which he had found the remedy. Supposedly, Phoenix resumed his experiments in secret, utilizing little girls from a nearby orphanage. Soon thereafter, Phoenix Institute definitively closed its doors. Nothing was ever heard from Phoenix or his patients again.
The institute can now be visited as a museum; a wry tribute to a man that was either far ahead of his time, or completely insane.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Some will say so, others will not. We don’t care so much what our adventures are called, as long as you just enjoy them. With Rise of the Phoenix, we return to our roots; building awesome escape rooms! But to say that Rise of the Phoenix is a standard puzzle room… not really.
At DarkPark we love the kind of fear that’s fun. We’re not out to turn your hair gray, we just want you to have a rad time with us! Yes, Rise of the Phoenix is scary, but in a fun way, and we also pay mind to your personal limits.
How scary you find the experience ultimately depends on your personality and how much you allow yourself to surrender to it. We will definitely work our absolute hardest to ensure that you come out with a huge smile on your face!
Our advice? Just surrender to it. Often, it’s the things that scare us a little that end up becoming our favorite memories.

Our actors are trained to get a precise feel for what your group needs to keep it fun for everyone. We will never cross your boundaries.
We understand you’re scared. Really, we understand. But not playing this escape game simply isn’t an option if you’re a true DarkPark fan!
Rise of the Phoenix is a very physical escape room in which you will need to crawl and climb. On top of that, there will be a generous amount of theatrical effects to create a tense atmosphere.
We hate to exclude anybody, but given the intense character of this experience, we recommend the following people do not play Rise of the Phoenix:
(Heavily) pregnant women
Heart patients
People with anxiety disorders
People with epilepsy
People that struggle to walk
People under 16
People with a fear of heights
A night out isn’t what it used to be. Leave the three-piece suit and gala dress at home, because you’re going on an adventure!
Rise of the Phoenix is quite a physical escape room. Keep in mind that you might get dirty or wet. You’re going to climb and crawl. So don’t wear brand new clothing, and you’d better leave your favorite shoes and jewelry at home as well.
No. Actually, if you want the best possible experience, we strongly recommend coming with a team of four. Escape rooms are a unique form of private entertainment. You’ll get a special, personal experience, nothing like the mass attractions you’d find in a theme park. Trust us, in this case, less really is more.
The fire department doesn’t allow it either, so we stick to the limit of 6 players per game. That way, everyone stays safe and you get the best possible experience!
No, at DarkPark the word ‘escape’ means escaping reality.
In the escape room Rise of the Phoenix, the illusion is created that you are locked inside. In actuality, you can exit the escape room at any time by using the emergency stop present in every room in case of emergencies. There’s also constant supervision from outside via cameras and microphones placed throughout the escape room. All of our escape rooms completely abide by the legal requirements in terms of safety.
Our goal is to make sure you have an amazing time. We design our escape rooms and puzzles in a way that’s meant to be fun above all. Sure, there might be the occasional brain-bender, but you’ll never run into impossible puzzles at DarkPark. What’s the point if you get stuck? We want you to enjoy yourself!
Our game hosts watch along via cameras to guide you through tricky moments. If you do happen to get stuck, we’ll give you a subtle nudge in the right direction so you can keep going.
Nope, the Rise of the Phoenix escape game is here to stay! This unique escape experience is a full-blown DarkPark escape room as you’ve come to expect from us, with all the bells and whistles.
