Grand Opening Weekend for the Kitty Q Escape Room!

Kitty Q is off to a purring start! The cute, half-dead cat will be arriving at Technische Sammlungen Dresden, the city’s science museum, just in time for the opening of Germany’s first escape room on quantum physics for youngsters. The mysterious box containing four enigmatic rooms challenges visitors to explore the quirky world of quantum physics in a multisensory experience – and find out whether Kitty Q is dead or alive.

Technische Sammlungen Dresden and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat will be celebrating the arrival of Kitty Q and the inauguration of the new escape room on the opening weekend on Saturday and Sunday, April 27/28, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Visitors will be able to catch a glimpse of the quantum apartment during brief guided tours (hourly from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. over weekend). Additionally, they can engage with the award-winning app Kitty Q – A Quantum Adventure, which inspired the escape room, in a designated gaming lounge. A special quantum cinema will continuously show all the episodes of ct.qmat’s video series QUANTube – Science Break throughout the weekend. On Sunday, Lea – one of the voices of the escape room – will conduct a jingle workshop for participants aged 10 and up in the recording studio at Technische Sammlungen (at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.).

For bookings for the guided tours or jingle workshops, please contact the museum’s Visitor Service (phone: +49 351 4887272; email: service@museen-dresden.de).
