Silent Hill

I liked the music, the actor's costume, and the cozy waiting area. But it's almost always dark; I'd like the performance to be more frequent and scarier, and the communication through the handset breaks the immersion. Because of the darkness, some tasks have to be solved blindly.

Our team has completed about 30 quests. The atmosphere is solid, the actors are great—especially the moment when you end up between them. The puzzle part itself is modest and feels more like a key-hunt performance. The girls loved it; for hardcore quest fans, it’s so-so.

I’ve done 20+ escape rooms and, to be honest, I expected more. Greeted by a crowd of kids in the lobby, puzzles are at a “find the key and insert it” level. They try to scare you a couple of times, but you quickly get used to it and it just becomes funny. The price doesn’t match the experience; for 1,000–1,500 it would be OK.

The team is experienced, but we still jumped a couple of times. It’s more of a performance than a quest: scary and spectacular, with few puzzles and they’re simple. The actors are excellent; at times you really feel caught in the crossfire.

The atmosphere is cinematic—had our hearts in our throats. Pyramid Head was awesome; the actor gives 100 percent. There were four of us, which was more than enough; without the actor it would definitely have been less exciting. We left trembling but happy.

It’s a bit cramped for six; better to go as four. The service was pleasant—they served us tea and explained everything. The scares are moderate, and the puzzles are easy—just right for a first horror experience.

We tried a horror escape room for the first time, a group of four girls. We loved the performance: the puzzles are simple, but it’s hard to think when you’re panicking, and the emotions lasted all evening. A perfect option for newcomers to horror.

We went as a group of three with a coupon. The actor and the costume were great, but the set design didn’t impress, and the shoe covers are unpleasantly slippery. Some of the puzzles are odd in places, but overall it’s interesting. Most importantly, close the doors behind you, or else the evil will arrive sooner than you’d like.

I don’t get the hype when almost everything boils down to searching for keys, and two of them barely turned. Afterwards the administrator curtly replied that “it was sticking.” Plus, the finale has a dark room with a slippery floor — unpleasant. The one good thing is the Pyramid Head imagery.

We went as a group of girls and asked for the minimum scare—didn’t help; we screamed the whole hour. The actor very subtly keeps you on edge without going overboard. It’s scary and you end up laughing at yourself. I recommend it.

The escape room was genuinely scary—the actors and costumes were creepy. Downside: we were often left in complete darkness with a single weak flashlight for four people, and you also have to fiddle with locks. Overall, I recommend it.

It’s dark almost all the time, so we spent half the time fumbling with keyholes. The puzzles are mostly about keys, and you can hardly see the set dressing. Overall it’s fine, but for this money I’d like it to be deeper and longer.

The atmosphere and the actor keep the tension, but there aren’t many tasks and they’re not difficult. The final mechanic is unclear without a hint from the host; it’s hard to logically arrive at the required action. Otherwise, I liked it.

Almost the entire quest takes place in pitch darkness; light is provided rarely and not everywhere, so we only got to see the set afterward. The actors are good, but most of the puzzles felt illogical.

If this isn’t your first horror quest, it might feel bland. I was bored and not very scared; it’s not worth the money, and I regret the time.
