Escape room: The Witch Trial
The Witch Trail is an escape game designed for all visitors of Žužemberk Castle. The game takes place in the year 1639 and reveals the story of Mica of Žužemberk, who was accused of witchcraft. In the end, it turned out she was not guilty of malicious deeds, but rather a sorceress who used her magic to bring enchantment among people. The story is inspired by various historical convictions from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, when people could not explain natural phenomena, diseases, and other misfortunes.
