Pharaoh's tomb

I took the kids to this escape room for the first time. They liked it, but they finished very quickly and kept taking hints; the introductory story was hard to hear. Some tasks don’t lead anywhere, they don’t issue receipts, there are too few lockers, the coat rack is hung too high, and it’s chilly in the room. You can’t take photos, so we ended up without any keepsake pictures.

The company let us down: the promised subscription discount didn’t work because of a technicality, they’re cash-only and don’t issue receipts. Storage for belongings is unsafe—a basement space with a noticeable smell—and after we paid they suddenly asked for an extra fee. They didn’t let us take photos, and later never uploaded our album—left a really unpleasant impression.

Today we went to the Pharaoh's Tomb and left disappointed: there were at most five puzzles, the quest felt tired, and the audio was a mush—you couldn't make out the words. We found no logic in the sequence; we spun the rings till we were blue in the face, and the door was already open without any signal. Lots of props we lugged around for nothing.

We got totally immersed in the Egyptian darkness. No padlocks; the puzzles are woven into the flow, and the administrator Nika gave us a timely nudge when we got stuck on the symbols. A bit scary in places, but that only adds to the thrill. We made it out a couple of minutes before the end, happy as can be.

Great quest for kids aged 11–14; the kids were thrilled, and at times it was genuinely scary. On the downside, you can accidentally lock the phone used for communication — that’s what happened to us: we called, but no one picked up, and the kids got scared.

The atmosphere and artwork were great; the puzzles were decent but felt too few—we finished in half an hour. The final trap system didn’t work, so we got out earlier than intended, which was disappointing. It seemed one item was missing in the first room, though the administrator was friendly. They had promised more sand.

We went with my 12-year-old son. The atmosphere was great, but the sound at the beginning was barely audible, so we asked to turn it up. It was a bit chilly at the venue, but the puzzles themselves were logical; we finished with one hint. Overall, we liked it and will come back for another theme.

Some puzzles were basically unreadable at first: tons of options, and the correct path hinges on barely noticeable details. It took about 20 minutes to get through the first room; the music and voice audio were hardly audible. Overall we finished in under an hour; there was no wow factor, but we still had an interesting time.

Our first escape room as a couple—it went great. We used two hints and finished in just over 40 minutes. At times it was genuinely tense even without actors. Recommended for those who like to think rather than just fiddle with locks.

There’s an effort with the ambiance, but full immersion didn’t happen. The puzzles are interesting and lock-free; however, we noticed a technical flaw right at the beginning, which spoiled the impression, and we couldn’t get out without hints.

I love escape rooms without hidden-object rummaging — this one is exactly that. Everything is logic-based; one star puzzle really held us up, and the darkness adds some spice. Otherwise, it’s solid and atmospheric.

No locks or keypads, and there’s barely any light—wandering the corridors is creepy even without actors. The puzzles are of medium difficulty, but the darkness makes them noticeably harder.

As for the game itself, no complaints—the kids liked it. However, there was a crowd at the entrance, hardly any lockers, no receipt, and we weren't allowed to take photos—they promised to post them later and never did. The organization spoiled the mood.

We were there on January 28 and got caught in a crazy rush hour: all the quests start at once, the changing room is tiny, and there were crowds of people. A crush—kids and fur coats crammed into two square meters—mood tanked. We won’t be returning to this branch.

We liked the ambiance; my husband and I went together. We got stuck in two spots because of the astronomy, which dampened the overall impression, though otherwise it was pretty good.
