Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often they praise the setting, sound, and immersion, as well as administrator Ivan, who sets the tone from the outset. It’s scary even without an actor; with an actor it’s many times harsher and harder to think. The puzzles are generally logical, but there are many red herrings and very little light — that throws you off. There are complaints about dust, weak flashlights, and inconsistent time policy: sometimes they let you finish, sometimes they cut hard.
WeaknessesSometimes it’s too dark and there are only one or two weak flashlights for the team — some players idle. There can be dust, stuffiness, and thresholds in the dark; allergy sufferers may have a hard time. Actor work varies: from “top” to “barely interacted,” and run time is either generously extended or cut strictly.
StrengthsStrong Chernobyl NPP atmosphere with real devices, sound, and effects that create constant tension. Ivan is a charismatic host: both safety and the legend are delivered clearly and engagingly. Nontrivial mechanics and a finale that sticks in memory.
SecurityThe briefing is detailed, with an emphasis on safety, and it’s monitored. However, darkness, thresholds, and dust are reasons to wear comfortable shoes and warn about allergies or asthma.
Level of fearThis is one of the scariest quests in the city: without an actor many will cope; with an actor — only adrenaline lovers. For children and the sensitive, it’s better to choose the lighter 14+ version or go without the performance.
Actors' gameMost are thrilled: contact performance, suspense, and well-timed appearances are genuinely chilling. But there are rare reviews of a weak costume or minimal contact; if you want to think — better without an actor, if you want emotions — take one for sure.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied, at times very tricky, but ultimately logical once you collect your thoughts. Low light and red herrings complicate the search and add nerves. Hints are given tactfully and to the point.
PlotYou are stalkers, looking for a bunker and trying to prevent a catastrophe; Ivan presents the legend vividly. The plot unfolds room by room and holds until a powerful denouement.
Difficulty levelDifficulty is above average: newcomers will struggle, and with an actor your brain goes into defense mode. Best to go three to five; two is possible but tough.

The quest was disappointing: the booking was mixed up, they forgot about the prepayment, and there was hardly any communication with the administrators. Inside it was dusty, the toilet had no lock, and they gave too few flashlights for a large team. The puzzles seemed illogical, the actor barely interacted, and when we raised our concerns they replied that we were “playing the wrong way.”

My husband and I are seasoned escape-room goers, but this quest surprised us: the atmosphere is intense, the puzzles are interesting, and the actor gives 200%. We had time to spare—finished in an hour and a half—and our hands were still shaking as we left.

Beautiful, scary, but dusty — my throat started itching. Please provide proper flashlights for everyone, not just one per team. As it is, it was hard for me; I left early.

We expected a powerful performance, but the actor didn’t impress, the costume looked cheap, and the briefing dragged on for almost half an hour. It was interesting to wander around; the puzzles are rather simple, but the atmosphere is good. As a horror experience, it misses the mark—the extra charge for the actor didn’t feel justified.

Our team of four completed it without an actor, and it was still nerve‑racking. I liked that the host let us finish, even though we ran about fifteen minutes over the time limit. The finale is very impactful—gave me real goosebumps.

Ivan cranked up the atmosphere at the briefing so much that we opted to skip the actor and didn’t regret it. The puzzles are tough; we wouldn’t have managed without hints, but the finale almost blew our minds. Scary, with interesting sound design — a solid five.

Five of us played the 14+ version. Ivan’s briefing was thorough: both safety guidelines and the historical context of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The quest is packed with real equipment, genuinely scary, and we had enough time — we didn’t feel any time constraints.

The puzzles are great and on point, but there isn’t enough light: one flashlight clearly isn’t enough for four people. We bumped into the thresholds a couple of times in the dark. Otherwise, it’s very solid—recommended for experienced players.

We played with an actor—goosebumps all the way to the end of the game. The atmosphere is straight out of the chronicles, and the sound hits just right. Ivan was on fire; the immersion starts already during the briefing. We’ll be back for another quest with these guys.

Great set design and plenty of effects; the puzzles are unconventional and at times quite mean. It can be tough for beginners, but for experienced players it’s a blast. Jump scares are used in moderation, but they land.

The atmosphere is there, but the lighting let us down: they gave us one weak flashlight, and we spent half the time just squinting into the dark. On previous visits they didn’t cut our time, but this time it was a strict hour and a bit — we didn’t reach the finale and had no desire to pay extra to finish.

We go to a lot of these and it’s hard to surprise us anymore, but this one really got to us. They pulled the actor after a couple of minutes — it was too hardcore, and the set design and music nailed the atmosphere. The most emotional experience we’ve had in a long time.

There were two of us and we opted out of the actor — it was scary enough as it is. At times the logic isn’t obvious, but the host is charming and knows how to tell stories. Cons — very dark and stuffy.

We were greeted warmly, but the actor barely interacted, so we didn’t see the point of him. The darkness sometimes made it hard to search properly, and because of that we got stuck. Overall, mixed impressions.

We played without an actor, and it was still creepy at times. My favorite parts were the Soviet-era devices and the finale—very cinematic. Thanks to Ivan for the atmosphere.
