These are dark times in Berlin and you are right in the middle of it. But you have received an unusual invitation. A secret costume party at Magnus' institute. Be colorful! Be cheerful! Be yourselves!
Protected by closed doors and the codeword “Lili”, you get into the party mood until loud screams drown everything out. It smells like smoke! Fire! An attack!
What are you going to do? Will you run for your life? Or is it already too late? Not everyone will make it...
With the new “Hidden History” concept, the Berlin Dungeon sheds light on the hidden and darkest chapters of Berlin's history and brings historical personalities and events into the spotlight that have often remained in the shadows, giving them a highly emotional stage and a loud voice.
