About the escape room

During scientific research in the field of insomnia, subjects describe themselves in a state between sleep, madness, and death, i.e., in a state of limbo. We decided to study this phenomenon. As a platform for research, we chose a house which, as it turned out, has not the most successful history. To date, we have found out one thing - from the first minutes of being there, they experience mental disorders. Minute by minute, fatigue turns off their consciousness, leading them into limbo. There, the subjects meet a certain woman, presumably the owner of the house, forever stuck in one time of her life. What is this? Hallucinations or are they entering the afterlife? There is no answer, and this is what we have to find out.

Insomnia — for those who want to truly get scared and dive headfirst into the story. The burned‑down house setting, powerful acting, and a mounting sense of limbo hold you to the finale.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIAlmost everyone praises the actors: there are many, they adapt flexibly and know how to stoke fear. Atmosphere and set design are a strong suit; lighting, sound, and detailed locations are often noted. Puzzles are mostly logical and medium in difficulty, but in panic feel heavier; hints help. There are reviews about quiet music and that the insomnia theme isn’t felt by everyone, yet the emotions are huge — many return and bring friends for birthdays.
WeaknessesFor the impressionable it can be too scary; some teams refused the actor mid‑game. A few guests wanted louder sound and more “edge” from the actor closer to the end. Some reviews note the title and the insomnia legend aren’t fully revealed.
StrengthsAtmospheric rooms, striking light and sound, a “like in real life” feel. High‑level acting and live interaction with the team. Varied tasks without repetitive loops, good game flow.
SecurityClear briefing before the start; administrators are attentive to wishes. Reviews mention physical contact and harsh effects like a stun device — it’s best to discuss the interaction level in advance; you can refuse the actor at any time.
Level of fearVery scary, especially with an actor: even adults screamed, kids 10–13 often asked to soften the mode. Without an actor it’s still uneasy, so sensitive players and families should choose a lighter format in advance.
Actors' gameThey play convincingly and with range: from psychological pressure to active participation, while listening to the team. Reviews say actors can scare to goosebumps, and if needed, lower the intensity or leave altogether on request.
Quality of riddlesTasks are clear and mostly fair, ranging from easy to “figure it out under pressure.” Well woven into the plot and non‑repetitive; hints rescue you when fear “switches off” the brain. Logic lovers will have things to do, though panic adds difficulty.
PlotA story about insomnia experiments and a house with a ghostly hostess, where the line between sleep and death blurs. The arc is clear and keeps up the tension, though some guests see it more as the mystery of the “burned‑down house.”
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty: experienced players will be comfortable with the immersion, newcomers will be helped by hints. The bigger challenge is not logic, but thinking while scared.

We went as a large team: the sets and overall content are delightful—you want to touch and try everything. The puzzles are interesting; we sometimes got stuck and were surprised by how close the answer was. The staff flexibly tailored the difficulty to our requests.

Strong atmosphere and set design—even the photo spots were a hit. The actor's performance felt realistic; it was genuinely scary, but that 'I survived' feeling after the finale was a rush. For full immersion, I suggest watching Insomnia first and then going to the quest.

The quest is intense and scary, but I'd like the music to be louder and the connection to the insomnia theme to be clearer. Otherwise, it's great: the locations are gorgeous, and the actor delivers. Recommended.

The scariest escape room we've done: dark, oppressive music and purposefully challenging puzzles. We wanted to leave, but we stuck it out and got a massive adrenaline rush. Recommended if you're ready for serious horror.

We celebrated a 13th birthday. They told us the backstory; we liked the puzzles; the rooms are interconnected. We got scared of the actress and opted out of that element midway, after which it was easier. Afterwards we felt that the title and the insomnia theme don’t come through everywhere, and the recommended age should probably be higher.

At Phobia, everything is well thought out: the set and lighting are superb, and the puzzles don’t rely on dumb repeats. It was so scary we wanted to finish as quickly as possible, and then realized—we wanted more. The administrator is polite, and the actress gives you goosebumps.

I liked that the staff tailored the difficulty to our mixed group. We were properly spooked, but we still had to think and made it through on our own — a rare balance.

Insane immersion: the lighting, sound, and actress had us so on edge we forgot where the game ended and reality began. The puzzles are on point, no dumb ones. I'll be back with another team.

“Insomnia” impressed me: the acting is strong, the puzzles are just right, and at times it made me think. The presentation is top-notch, and the atmosphere draws you in from the very first minutes. I recommend it to anyone looking to get their nerves tingling and spend time with friends.

The venue is large and packed with details, and the lighting effects are gorgeous. It was so scary that at one point we even wanted to have the actress removed, but we still made it to the end and kept discussing the performance for a long time afterward. Go with a bold team—you won’t regret it.

It felt a bit rough because of the contact, I asked them to ease up — the organizers immediately obliged. After that it was more comfortable, but still scary. Overall okay, but not for the faint of heart.

I felt there wasn’t enough loud music, but the administrator explained that, according to the scenario, silence is part of the idea. Otherwise, it’s beautiful; the rooms are painted really well. For me, it’s second place after 'Schizophrenia'.
