Where sails were once hoisted and cargo stowed, two great escape rooms and a scavenger hunt by Hidden in Hamburg now await you – amid original planks, rigging and over 125 years of maritime history.
Built in 1896 as a three-masted cargo sailing ship, the RICKMER RICKMERS sailed the world’s oceans for decades before becoming a museum ship. Today, as one of the landmarks of the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, she lies firmly moored in Hamburg’s harbour – just a few minutes’ walk from the ferry piers and the Old Elbe Tunnel. On board you solve puzzles among original cabins and over a century of maritime history, right on the water. By the way: on the CAP SAN DIEGO at the Überseebrücke, four more escape rooms await you – an overview is available on the page Escape Rooms on real ships.

Appease the god of the seas!
Appease the god of the seas!
As visitors to the famous museum ship in Hamburg’s harbour, you explore a secret room on board that was discovered during the recent restoration. As you enter the room, you notice this strange whispering. Neptune, the god of the sea, is calling for you. He demands his trident, which the captain of the Rickmers stole from him long ago.
The door slams shut, you’re trapped, and Neptune has you firmly in his grip. Grant his wish, or Neptune will drag you and the Rickmers down to the bottom of the Elbe…
This room is aimed at ambitious beginner groups of 6 to 7 people as well as experienced playing groups from 4 people. It is not suitable for children’s groups or purely youth groups under 16 years of age.
With your ticket, you can also visit the RICKMER RICKMERS free of charge before or after your game (between 10:00 and 18:00). If you play later, we’ll give you free tickets for the museum.

The classic escape room with combination locks and challenging puzzles
During a voyage in the 1960s, a terrible raid took place on the Rickmer Rickmers. Pirates attacked the ship. The captain tragically lost his life and went overboard. Ever since, his ghost has been unable to find peace and haunts the ship’s captain’s cabin to this day. As specialists in supernatural activity, your task is to uncover the secret of his story and finally help the captain find his final rest.
A varied escape room with challenging puzzles awaits you. The very special extra: you play in the ship’s original captain’s cabin!
This room is aimed at ambitious beginner groups of 4 to 6 people as well as experienced playing groups from 3 people. It is not suitable for purely children’s groups.
With your ticket, you can also visit the RICKMER RICKMERS free of charge before or after your game (between 10:00 and 18:00). If you play later, we’ll give you free tickets for the museum.

The Last Test of the Sailors
Do a scavenger hunt (PLEASE NOTE: this is a scavenger hunt, not an escape room) aboard the entire RICKMER RICKMERS. Explore the ship, solve puzzles and tasks, and convince your examiner.
Only the legendary final test stands between you and your award as honorary sailors – a test of all the skills you need as sailors on board. Only with teamwork, brains, creativity and logic will you manage to pass it.
Please note! This is NOT an escape room, but a scavenger hunt that you play in small groups of 4 to 7 people competing against each other aboard the entire ship! Up to four groups can start at the same time, meaning up to 28 people in total. The scavenger hunt can be played in German and English. Depending on how thoroughly you explore the ship during the scavenger hunt, you should plan for 60 to 90 minutes.
The scavenger hunt was designed for adults, but of course it can also be played by families. For a group of children only, it is suitable from the age of 14. If younger children take part, an adult must be present at all times in each group.

On the CAP SAN DIEGO, a strange story has been told for decades.

No one has ever been able to open it. And this is exactly where your adventure begins.
Gain access to a secret area of the ship. Discover a place full of hiding spots, adventurous puzzles and hidden traces. And unravel the secret that the Master of Time left behind for us.
