Company Чеширский код (ИП Шилов В.М.)

The concept and the chronovisor landed well, but the host looked tired and the intro fell flat. Hints were pushed over the radio unprompted, not giving us a chance to think; in the finale they even opened extra elements ahead of time and then reprimanded us. There were also sound glitches and odd mechanical triggers, and for a team of four there are hardly any parallel tasks. In the end, disappoin... Expand

The quest worked well for a team with mixed experience: the tech runs smoothly, the role division adds excitement, and the chat hints are discreet and don't break the flow. You don't need chemistry here—the key is logic.

Not impressed: between the good puzzles we wasted time on a broken gas analyzer and a door without a handle. The props are worn out, which makes it unclear whether you’re doing something wrong.

A team of six; most were newcomers, and there was enough atmosphere and puzzles for everyone. The quest is challenging but doable. We’d like to see more emergency effects like a siren and red lighting—as a suggestion for the future.

We tried the updated version: it’s easier to find the location, the lobby is nicer, the quest itself has expanded — they added tasks, the plot is clearer, and there’s now a clear ending. Compared with our previous visit, it’s a major upgrade.

The idea is great, but hints kept popping up unprompted and constantly threw us off. In the final location they unlocked something extra ahead of time, and later it turned out it was “too early.” A couple of items worked only intermittently—the overall impression was spoiled.

We went in hoping that after a few years they’d tightened things up, but the quest is still rough around the edges. The sequence of actions is unremarkable, and the videos on the provided tablet loaded painfully slowly in the basement, which stretched the game to an hour and a half without any warning. In the finale the clips stopped loading altogether. I’ll give two points for Maria—she really tr... Expand

Hooked from the first minutes: costumes, smoke, terminals — like a lab straight out of a movie. The puzzles are logical, the chat hints were right on point, and we managed to escape a couple of minutes before the end. The chemistry theme wasn’t scary — everything follows clear logic. I recommend it!

Expectations were not met: they gave hints more often than we wanted, and when we did things correctly, the mechanics didn’t work. One of the required items wasn’t included in the quest, and that finally killed any desire to recommend it to others.

The puzzles are pretty tough in places; the quest is non-linear, and you can wander between zones. We didn’t figure out the security right away, and the smoke adds realism. We finished it and were satisfied.
