Company «Lost (Руба М.А.)»

The quest will really appeal to fans of Machinarium and to kids aged 7–13. The puzzles build up logically in difficulty so that children can handle them on their own. I recommend arriving right on time: they only start when the whole group is present, and you might have to wait outside. There was a moment with the pump — it should be checked more often. The administrator is very pleasant, and my s... Expand

We went as a group of four and were thrilled. The sets and challenging puzzles are top-notch; the technical side was especially impressive, and the first room is even a bit scary. We had to use strength, agility, quick wits, hearing, and even knowledge of geography. I recommend it to erudite Tomsk residents, and special thanks to the administrator.

Boring and simplistic; we never felt a cohesive story. We paid 3,500 for six people, and the emotions were zero—the kids were upset. The acting is weak, there are almost no puzzles, and the setting is bare-bones. And an unpleasant moment: before the start they asked the children to leave their phone numbers in a notebook—it looks like collecting personal data without consent.

Thanks to the team for the well-thought-out rooms and solid puzzles—there are both easy ones and others you really have to sweat over. The host immediately set the right tone; it was so scary that we even peeked into the bathroom with caution. The psycho clown was portrayed powerfully, with a sense of humor too, so we both screamed and laughed. This is now one of our favorite escape rooms.

We were a team of one guy and three girls—and not a single regret. At times it felt tough, but the hints only nudged us along; attentiveness makes all the difference. The actors improvise flexibly—there was a moment I genuinely thought I might lose a finger. We screamed and laughed to the point of pleasant exhaustion; the concept and the atmosphere were fantastic.

We enjoyed the escape room; the puzzles were nice. At the beginning they let us think, but toward the end the hints started coming too quickly. The venue isn’t visible from the street—we found it by following the directions. There’s only one restroom in the building and it’s very dirty; there’s nowhere to wash your hands. Otherwise, it’s interesting—recommended.

I liked the mysterious setup and the gradual build-up of tension. The actors were finely attuned: sometimes they’d scare you, sometimes they’d let you catch your breath. If you want a good scare, go as a pair or a trio; with a big group it’s more about fun. We were very pleased.

The game felt underwhelming: few rooms and actors, drafts blew through the cracks and it was cold. They took payment through the door, didn’t invite us inside, photos weren’t allowed, after the finale they rushed us and didn’t send any pictures. The tasks themselves are decent, but there’s too much running up and down stairs. Overall, I don’t recommend it.

Scary, but what bothered me most was the rough physical contact. In my session, an actor caught me with a metal hook, split my lip—which later became inflamed—and also poked me in the neck with the same thing. The locations felt hazardous, and the sequence of scenes was odd. For teenagers, this seems too early, in my opinion.

We liked the escape room, but the entrance is hard to find and it’s chilly inside. The puzzles are decent; at times we wanted to think a bit longer, but they were already whispering hints to us. Otherwise, it’s atmospheric and the actors are on point.
