Saw 2. The Final Test

The first room took up a lot of time, but we really enjoyed the experience. They used the stun gun as agreed, and one participant wasn’t touched — big respect for that. The ending was a bit short on tension, but the actress was awesome.

We played without an actor and were disappointed: there weren’t enough props, the locks were glitchy, and the logic in the second-to-last room fell apart. Before and after the quest, the operator told us different things — we left dissatisfied.

Of all the escape rooms in the city, this one stood out the most: a solid storyline, high-quality locations, and enough puzzles for two sessions. We recommend it.

The setting feels cinematic; I especially loved the first room. The puzzles focus on attention to detail—we asked for hints a couple of times, which is fine. Tip: go with the actor—without them, the emotions are noticeably muted.

We went twice: on medium it was on fire—scares, contact, and lots of adrenaline. On hard we got a different shift and it turned out noticeably weaker, even though they’d promised a stun gun. Bottom line: the specific actor makes a big difference.

They’d promised two actors — only one showed up, and one of the mechanisms kept jamming. It spoiled the mood, though otherwise it was fine. We regretted not choosing a different time slot.

Very solid performance: the actor carries it, the music is oppressive, there are lots of puzzles and they’re fair. We chose medium difficulty — scary, but you can still think. We got out in the final seconds; still have goosebumps.

It was our first experience, and we immediately received a stun-gun discharge without a clear warning. We would like transparent terms before the start and the option to decline certain interventions in writing. The overall impression was marred.

I liked how the set design was put together: everything is detailed and atmospheric, with instant immersion. The staff were attentive; special thanks to the entertainer for a powerful delivery.

We played on the third level; the adrenaline kept pumping to the very end. The setting and the actors were top-notch; we had to keep dashing around the whole time, and we even took a couple of hits — nothing excessive and always to the point. An excellent, fast-paced session.

We chose the two-actor version — the experience felt much more intense. The puzzles were of moderate difficulty, and it’s nice that you can choose not only the difficulty level but also the level of interaction. We were satisfied.

In the Medium room, some moments were painful, and the actor’s hints were too intrusive — we wanted more chances to think for ourselves. The atmosphere is great, but the balance between interaction and assistance fell short.

With four people it was awesome, but with six I think it would be cramped. A couple of locks were finicky, but the operator helped quickly and didn’t break the atmosphere. Overall a solid four—we’ll come again.

It was genuinely scary, especially with the actress. The puzzles were logical and interesting, and the ending stuck with me for a long time. Emotions were off the charts.

The technical side wasn’t smooth: in one of the rooms the keys wouldn’t turn, and we had to wait a long time for help. On the plus side, we liked the actress and she held her role steadily. Still, an unpleasant aftertaste remained, alas.
