It has been open for at least three months and is already in the top ten globally. The pub, it’s called. This new escape room in Terrassa is the ninth best in the world and number one in Spain, according to the Oscars for Escape Rooms and the Terpeca Awards. What’s special about that? “The most impressive thing is what’s on the inside,” smiles one of the partners, Ricardo Infantes, with excitement. The secrecy did not last even for a week. “Everyone says so,” he shrugs resignedly, “that there is a boat.”
Ricardo Infantes is one of the partners of The City Escape Room. They already have twenty rooms in Catalonia and Madrid. He refers to La Taberna as his new “flagship.” It is located on Terrassa (carrer Llobregat, 4B, room 11), half an hour from Barcelona. It’s an escape room with a theme park extravaganza. It is played in an industrial building with an area of more than 200 square meters and a height of 14 metres. “It gives you a lot of play to get up and down and throw yourself around…” Give more clues. “What happens at La Taberna – they say Las Vegas style – stays at La Taberna.” The partner only reveals what is already lip service: that it is a pirate adventure with a nod to Pirates of the Caribbean and that you even find a boat! “But you will not imagine what it is until you see it – confirms Ricardo.” There are many surprises. “When people see the boat, they can’t believe what they have left to see.”
