Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often people praise the ambiance, the smell of wood, the sound, and the acting, especially Polunochnitsa and the charismatic 'grandpa'. Fear depends heavily on the chosen mode: for some it’s insanely creepy, for others more fun. There are few puzzles and they’re simple; at times mechanisms act up, and the finale feels abrupt. People mention alternative endings and wanting to replay with another actor.

WeaknessesComplaints include the small number of puzzles and the advertised fear or effects (smoke) not matching expectations. Sometimes one actor dominates, mechanics glitch, the finale cuts off. There were occasional concerns about safety and the admin’s reception.

StrengthsThe sets and sound create a dense, 'living' atmosphere that starts already at reception. The actors give it their all, tune contact to the team, and aim for impact. There are alternative endings and the feeling of a show where you are a participant.

SecurityOverall it feels safe if you follow the rules and don’t run in the dark. Reviews mentioned a fallen lid, a lost key, and possible splinters from the wood, so choose a comfortable level of contact and listen to the briefing.

Level of fearBy feel — from moderately creepy to very scary; screams and adrenaline are guaranteed, but there’s a light mode and individual settings. Not for kids; beginners should start on the easy level.

Actors' gameThe actors are the main trump card: striking entrances, lively dialogue, and powerful energy; many get goosebumps from Polunochnitsa’s scream and the 'grandpa’s' jokes. Occasionally the contact feels excessive or unevenly distributed among participants.

Quality of riddlesThere are few puzzles, mostly searching and simple actions in the spirit of the performance. Sometimes they ask you to use your head, but the focus is on emotions and acting. Trigger failures and confusion about progression mechanics do occur.

PlotA story about a deal and an attempt to break it, presented through Slavic folklore and the role of 'hunters'. Some missed details and a cohesive finale, but there’s variability and a reason to replay.

Difficulty levelIn terms of tasks it’s easy‑to‑medium, more about performance and emotion. Experienced escapers will find it easy; adrenaline seekers will get their fix on hard mode.

After ‘Zverinets’ we immediately booked ‘Polunochnitsa’. From the moment you walk in, the host stays in character—you can feel the forest atmosphere on your skin. The set is polished down to the tiniest details, and the puzzles fit the world and make sense. With two actors, it turned into a real show—scary and funny exactly where it should be. The ambience is killer; we recommend it.

Stellar start—the atmosphere grabs you from the very first room, and the set design is on point. There aren’t many puzzles, but it’s a performance piece. There were two actors: the actress is 10 out of 10; the other one sometimes lingered with us and broke the pacing, and at one point my friend started having trouble breathing during a scene—they overdid the physicality. The second actor’s jokes a

There were four of us: the guys chose hard, the girls went with light. It was our first time with this format; overall it was more fun, though at times genuinely creepy. We liked the opening right from the entrance and the feeling that we were in a play; the actors really put in the effort, the “grandpa” is a show of his own, and the Midnight Maiden’s look and makeup are great. On the downside, th

From the very first second, our knees were shaking; the immersion is instantaneous. We love Sakharnaya Vata's projects, and this one is now number one in the city for us. A couple of people wanted to give up already in the first room. The atmosphere and music are superb; the puzzles are manageable if you don't panic. The actors are like real theater, and the administrator is very sweet. We're look

There were four of us; the quest was unusual. Cons: one actor was with us almost the entire time; we barely saw the other; there are almost no logic-based tasks; at one point a lid fell on my friend's foot — unpleasant. Pros: the 'grandpa' delivered a powerful performance, though a bit painful even on easy mode; the rooms are atmospheric — lighting, smoke, decor; starting right from the doorway is

The ambience is awesome, and it’s super cool that the game starts right at the door. These guys have everything dialed in down to the details—we’ve also been to their “Zverinets.” The actress’s makeup and costume are great, and we especially loved the bell tower. There’s a lot of wood, so you could catch a splinter—just a heads-up. We loved it and will be back; for now, these are the best escape r

It was our first time with this organizer, and I liked that the game starts right at the reception. The plot is interesting, but we didn’t fully feel it: we were hunters more in name than in practice, and we didn’t encounter any creatures. Some tasks were unclear at times, the mechanics didn’t trigger right away, and the ending felt a bit muddled. The atmosphere also dropped off sharply after leav

We ran around to our heart’s content, screamed, and even felt a bout of claustrophobia. The actors are ten out of ten, and their entrances were dramatic. The setting is believable—the bed was especially memorable. There aren’t many puzzles, but our brains still had to work. After we got out, we went to soothe our throats.

We went last year and still think back to it, even though we’ve done many escape rooms in Chelyabinsk, including all of “Sakharnaia Vata’s.” There were three of us; the locations were impressive, and starting right at the entrance gave an instant boost to the emotions. The actress amazed us with her physicality; the individual tasks weren’t scary, but running away from her was insanely tense. Spec

Utterly terrifying—I lost my voice. There were four of us, hiding behind each other like shields. It took a little over an hour because fear shut our brains down. Our first horror experience was a success—team, you’re awesome; we’ll be back for another storyline.

From the moment you step in, the atmosphere envelops you like fog—the sets and sound give you goosebumps. The Midnight Lady appears in a way that takes your breath away, and the 'grandpa' is an absolute star. We went for the light option and didn’t regret it, but there was plenty of adrenaline.

Super immersive, the actors carry it, but there are hardly any puzzles and the finale flies by too fast. Otherwise, it’s fire—come for the emotions, yes.

I expected it to be scarier, but it turned out more atmospheric and at times even funny. The promised smoke never showed up, but the “old man” brought the house down, holding the audience hostage with laughter.

My first horror movie—and it hit the bullseye. We screamed, hid behind each other; the Midnight Lady’s scream is still ringing in my ears. The set design felt straight out of the movies.
