WeaknessesMany complaints about the darkness and one weak flashlight—hard to read notes and easy to clip openings. The floor is sometimes dirty, with ledges and thresholds; bruises and scrapes happen, people asked for soft padding. Few puzzles and a short actual duration for some; sometimes they push an extra actor and don’t always clearly ask about contact.
StrengthsThe actors are on fire: charisma, improv, engagement, and a sense of measure. The atmosphere is solid: sound, darkness, the pass’s lore, and pacing lead you by the hand through the whole story. Contact is flexible and tailored: you can go softer or harsher, up to stun prods and a 'mean critter'.
SecurityYou move in near-total darkness, with many thresholds and low openings—go carefully and wear comfortable clothes, not white. Discuss the contact level in advance and during the game; reviews mention possible bruises and scratches, so assess your readiness honestly.
Level of fearIt’s scary from the unknown, the sound, and close contact; on hard it’s very intense, including stun prods, bites, and force moves. Teens should take medium and agree on boundaries; the impressionable—go carefully.
Actors' gameNames pop up by the dozen—Nikita, Sergey, Anastasia, Yan, Katya, Dima, Ulyana, Luna, and many others—the audience praises them without reservations. Interaction is tight and flexible: you can choose a 'mean' or 'kind' companion and ask for more/less attention on the fly.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are simple and rare, mostly searching and reading notes to move the plot. Sometimes people note no tasks at all or confusion with props; there was a review about a forgotten item. Puzzle lovers may miss interactivity—this is about emotions and story.
PlotThe story is assembled from the pre-show, the guide’s lines, and notes, hinting at versions of the group’s death. Most like it, but some guests would prefer deeper lore.
Difficulty levelPuzzle-wise it’s easy, so beginners feel comfortable; for quest veterans, the challenge is the contact and darkness. Best for those who want emotion and drive rather than complex brainteasers.
