About the Museum
Museum Tiroler Bauernhöfe is an open-air museum in Tyrol, Austria, dedicated to preserving and presenting traditional rural Alpine life.
The museum consists of historic farmhouses relocated from different regions of Tyrol, offering visitors an authentic look into how people lived, worked, and built communities in past centuries.
It combines cultural heritage, education, and immersive storytelling in a natural outdoor environment.
What We Created
For the museum, we developed a fully interactive Adventure Quest experience with multiple stations across the territory, designed to entertain and educate visitors through exploration and storytelling.
The quest is available in two languages — German and English — and structured into two difficulty levels, allowing different types of visitors to engage with the experience in their own way.
The Adventure Quest is available for purchase directly at the kassa together with admission tickets. On average, more than 10% of visitors choose the Adventure Quest, significantly increasing engagement and participation across the museum.

Instead of simply walking through the exhibition, guests become active participants in the story of rural Alpine life.

Review
The excellent collaboration with Just Escape Consulting, their highly professional concept, and their meticulous integration into our museum, despite the very high standards, have been key to its success. The interactive approach captivates our guests of all ages. We've clearly noticed that this form of knowledge transfer has a more lasting impact because it combines emotion, teamwork, and a spirit of discovery. For us, the escape room is a valuable addition to our offerings and an important step in the contemporary development of cultural education.
