Harry and the Philosopher's Stone

The quest is straightforward in structure and well organized; everything worked. But it’s very dark—you have to read tiny print and look for tiny objects; without a phone flashlight you won’t see half of it. At times it’s unclear whether you’re allowed to reuse a “key,” and one hint suddenly contains Latin words, which is odd for a children’s audience. My 7-year-old son really enjoyed it.

Pretty decent Potter-themed escape room with interesting puzzles. We asked for help a couple of times, but we wanted more magical atmosphere: robes, wands, some spells like "Lumos," because several rooms were quite dark and we ended up using our phone flashlights. The story is almost one-to-one with the original, which makes it less gripping, but the newcomer in our group really liked it. Overall,... Expand

We went as a family with kids aged 8 and 5, even though it’s rated 10+. At times it was tough even for the adults, but with hints from Vladislava we managed and decided not to nitpick. We paid 3000 over the holidays—on the pricey side; there are no actors and the set is a bit worn in places, but we still had a blast.

It’s too dark in several rooms; sometimes you simply can’t see what to look for. The sign could be bigger — we didn’t find the quest right away. The operator rushed us with hints a couple of times, even though we had already figured it out.

Went with kids and adults. The location is large, with several rooms and cool transitions; the decorations are high-quality. But in two or three areas it’s very dark, there are no flashlights; good thing they allowed phones — we wouldn’t have managed without them. The puzzles are interesting, at times challenging, so we used hints. Overall, we immersed ourselves in a beloved universe and left sati... Expand

Overall, excellent, but without hints it would have been tough, especially in the room with the candles — we just ran out of ideas. And we’d also like a bigger sign; we walked around half the building before we found the entrance.

Didn’t really work for me: the walkie-talkie broke at the start, the staff weren’t paying close attention, and it’s cash only. The quest itself is okay, but there are too few hints and the logic is unclear in places — in the room with the schedule we hit a total dead end. Fine for a one-off, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Visually appealing, the setting is decent, but it lacks variety: too much is tied to shelves and cabinets, and the rooms sometimes feel empty. We wanted deeper immersion but got something just to tick a box. The hints aren’t always clear on how to apply, and it left almost no lasting impression.

Our group ranged from 10 to 65 years old, and it turned out to be challenging for everyone. We asked for hints in almost every room. The decorations were disappointing, and the doors that were supposed to “open easily” often required force. The ending left us with doubts.

We went with the kids—the atmosphere was awesome, and the music pulls you in right away. Staff Anna and Taisia were great, backing us up with timely hints. Plenty of rooms, and the finale was satisfying. We’ll be back!

I liked the puzzles and the logic, but it was missing a bit of magic—robes, wands, spells. A couple of areas were dark; my phone flashlight saved the day. Otherwise, very solid.

Our group of adults completed it in a little over an hour. The puzzles are fair, but we got stuck in the “candle” room without a hint; one door was a bit stiff to open. Overall, we liked it.

A large location with unexpected transitions—you think that's it, and then a new area opens up. For Potter fans, it's a real treat; the atmosphere is top-notch.

The escape room was pleasant and atmospheric, but there was a moment when we had already figured out the solution, and the staff member gave a hint without being asked. Otherwise, everything was fine; the mechanisms worked.

The quest’s design is logical, but we didn’t get a “wow” moment. There are too many tasks in pitch darkness; even with the provided flashlight it was pretty tough.
