About the escape room

In search of thrilling experiences, your group decided to attend a séance conducted by a shaman found through an advertisement. During the ritual, as the shaman descended into a trance, a sense of unease began to awaken within you. The shaman was chanting spells in an ancient language, and each participant felt a sense of foreboding. After the ritual, your group lost consciousness for a while and, upon awakening, realized that escaping the shaman's house on your own would not be that simple. The rustling, screeching, and odd sounds in the house suggest that something else wants to communicate with you, but you push these thoughts aside hoping to find something that could help you make an exit. It seems you're in luck, as someone had apparently been here before you and left some traces. You discover various symbols and drawings on the walls inked in. They appear to you to be signposts or messages left by previous visitors. An idea occurs to you that these signs could be the key to unraveling the mystery of this house. But it seems that none of the past visitors ever managed to escape from here. Most likely, they did not know the main rule of this house - as soon as the shaman begins to enter into a trance with his drum, you must urgently hide and not catch his eye otherwise your soul will leave you. Your journey will be filled with magic and riddles and each correct decision will bring you closer to the exit. But be careful - wrong answers can have undesirable consequences. Don’t forget, the forces helping you could be reliable or unreliable. It all depends on your actions and decisions. Will you be able to successfully meet the challenges of this house and find your path to freedom?

AI
Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
Shaman’s House is about vivid live acting, a dense atmosphere, and the nervy thrill of hiding from a shaman in trance. You can tune the physical contact to your taste: from gentle light to brutal hard.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIPeople most often praise the actors, the setting, and full immersion. Puzzles are generally doable and interesting, but veterans sometimes find them few and simple. Contact varies a lot in feel: medium reads soft to some, hard is genuinely painful. There are rare but sharp complaints about safety, coordination, and an undercooked plot.
WeaknessesSometimes the story logic breaks and the finale feels blurred; there are dark sections with low visibility. Technical hiccups occur: lighting/door desync, a tech room opened by accident, long waits in one room. Some reviews complain about excessive roughness and non-obvious puzzles.
StrengthsStrong acting and an ability to adapt to the team’s requests. Atmospheric rooms, music, and the shaman’s dance create drive. Lots of attention to each player on higher contact modes.
SecurityExperience depends heavily on the chosen mode and the shift: mostly fine, but there are reports of painful contact, falls and bumps into objects, plus accidental access to the tech zone and broken glass. Before the start, clearly discuss boundaries, health, and unwanted interactions; the team sometimes lowers contact mid-game.
Level of fearFear level is flexible: kids 12+ handle light and medium and leave happy, while newcomers on hard can get genuinely scared. Experienced fans of heavy contact should go straight for hard.
Actors' gameActors are widely praised for charisma, throat singing, dance, and precise scare timing; Victoria, Mikhail, Tatyana, Timofey, Nikita, Veronika, and others are often mentioned. Communication about contact is generally present, but some players note overly rough moves.
Quality of riddlesMost find the puzzles clear and varied, though not always hard. Sometimes there are non-obvious solutions and bottlenecks where one searches while the rest get bored. Hints help, but some want more logic and parallel paths.
PlotThe story about a shaman’s house with rituals and hide-and-seek rules is vividly conceived and at times well revealed. But some guests see gaps in the ritual and the ending and expect a more cohesive resolution.
Difficulty levelPuzzle-wise it’s closer to medium; for the very seasoned it may feel simple. Optimal with 4–6 people; very large groups crowd and lose momentum.

We arrived late, and at the entrance we were greeted brusquely, which immediately killed the mood. The game was far too dark, and the physical contact at times crossed the line: several times we were hit with a whip across the face and chest, and at one point we were tossed around near candelabras and glass was broken. The lighting and the actors’ actions were out of sync; the shaman’s dance took

We often go to escape rooms and chose the hard mode without electric shocks. They used whips and belts; it was painful at times, but that’s exactly what we came for. The actors worked with everyone and kept up the pace. The puzzles aren’t difficult, the final musical flourish was a pleasant surprise, and the staff were extremely professional and courteous.

We were expecting 90 minutes and 'three keys', but finished in about an hour; there aren’t many puzzles and some solutions are illogical. The ritual is very bare-bones, the ending doesn’t explain what actually happened and breaks immersion. At one point we used a key to open a door and found the admin and an actor behind it—it was awkward and the magic vanished. The medium barely interacted with u

Veronika as Alice and Valery the shaman connect brilliantly with the audience, and the throat singing and the shaman persona are practically the quest’s calling card. I liked that they listen to your preferences for how scary it should be and fine-tune the balance. The team has energy to spare.

The atmosphere grabs you from the moment you walk in; the tasks demand both logic and cohesive teamwork. A special thrill—the shaman’s dance and the use of walkie-talkies—adds interactivity and rhythm. We left energized and want to come back for the secrets left untold.

The concept and locations are interesting, but the plot is barely developed and there’s no logical ending. We ran into a desync between the operator and the actors; doors and lights were triggering oddly, and essential clues were lost in the darkness. No radios were provided, and we never got to see the “shaman’s dance.” Overall, it feels like there’s potential, but it needs more polish.

The rooms are atmospheric, the music doesn’t overwhelm, and the actors Alyona and Nikita were awesome. We chose hard mode without the stun gun; later, due to a misunderstanding, we left it as just hard, but it didn’t lessen the emotions. We came out happy and exhausted, like after an adventure.

From the get-go, the atmosphere and music pulled us in, and when the shaman started throat singing—goosebumps. We asked for more scary moments—the actors adjusted subtly, without overdoing it. We came out riding an adrenaline high and smiling.

There were four of us. They initially suggested Hard, but we switched to Medium along the way — more comfortable that way. We lingered longer in one room while one of us was being led around the stage, but the actor interactions were frequent and lively. Shaman and Alice had a special chemistry — truly heartfelt.

This is one of those cases where the actors deliver total immersion. We were whispering and barely breathing so we wouldn’t give ourselves away, and the puzzles kept adding fuel to the fire. Tatyana and Timofey, you did a great job—thanks for the adrenaline.

We liked the rooms and puzzles; everything was logical and they didn’t overdo it with the hints. On medium difficulty we wanted it to be scarier; next time we’ll go for hard. Otherwise, great presentation and pace.

Went with teenagers and chose the medium level. The scares were gentle; they didn’t traumatize the kids, but everyone’s nerves got a good tickle. Thanks for the careful approach and the atmosphere.

It’s dark almost the entire game, a couple of hits hurt way too much, and in one scene I was actually slammed into a wall. The coordination is sloppy, which makes it scary in a bad way. Not our thing.

There were hold-ups in places — they’d take one person, and the rest just sat waiting. The story is interesting, but the ending is muddled. Mixed impressions overall, though a couple of the locations are straight fire.

Light is for the sensitive, Medium is more intense, and I ended up getting more than the others—and it hit the spot. Scary, funny, and thrilling in turns; that’s why I love formats like this. Ten shamans out of ten.
