Dark Side is a powerful fear attraction with live acting and grim ambiance, where you genuinely forget it’s just a quest. Go for the emotions, the actors’ drive, and the deep immersion in the story about a girl and a monster.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often praised are the atmosphere, sets, and actors; many call the quest very scary. Tasks are mostly simple and sequential, often with hints from the actors. Newcomers and the easily frightened enjoy it; experienced players sometimes find it easy and short. Downsides include dust, cramped spaces, audible footsteps and actor chatter, and occasional logic complaints.
WeaknessesSometimes people complain about dust and tight rooms, and at times you can hear actors moving. There were mentions of a bruise and dusty props, which break immersion. Some miss logic and autonomy in the puzzles, and masks are less impressive than makeup.
StrengthsThe setting and story pull you in from the first minutes. Actors adapt flexibly to the team and know how to keep the tension. Memorable moments include the corridor with hands and button tasks, plus a friendly welcome and a storage locker.
SecurityEverything is explained before the start; you can leave belongings in a storage locker. In dark and narrow places, move carefully: there were mentions of a bruise, dusty items, and a risk of splinters.
Level of fearIt’s genuinely scary: dark, oppressive atmosphere, and sharp appearances. Not suitable for younger children; perfect for skittish adults.
Actors' gameActors are the project’s strong side: lively interaction, a sense of balance between humor and pressure, and tactful hints. Sometimes there are too many hints, but they help keep the pace.
Quality of riddlesThe puzzles are rather simple and linear, often guided by voice. There are good mechanics and buttons, but some guests want it harder and with less hand-holding. There were isolated complaints about illogic and one “unplayable” task.
PlotYou find yourself in a story about a girl who opened a path for a being from another dimension. Your goal is to wake her and drive the monster away while keeping your composure.
Difficulty levelDifficulty leans toward easy-medium: newcomers will have a great time, while veterans may lack challenge. With many hints, teams move quickly, sometimes finishing in 45–60 minutes.

We expected a performance, but ended up with a run-of-the-mill escape room with weak acting. You can hear the actors talking to each other and walking around, and the atmosphere fell apart already by the second room. A couple of the puzzles are illogical; one was ultimately dictated to us over the walkie-talkie — money wasted.

The whole team loved the escape room: the sets are richly crafted, the actors get into character quickly and gently steer you toward the solution. At first we were darting from corner to corner, then we pulled ourselves together and reached the finale without any time-outs.

Overall, I liked it, but the actors were guiding us too actively with hints; because of that, we finished faster than we wanted to. It would be cooler with makeup instead of masks—it looks scarier and more lifelike.

The rooms are narrow, there’s a lot of darkness, and almost everything relies on hints. The scares mostly come from abrupt lights being switched off and an actor suddenly charging at you with a stun gun. We finished in a little over forty minutes; I banged my head on a partition, and a dusty toy hit me in the eye—it spoiled the overall impression.

The organization impressed us: we were greeted warmly, everything was explained, our belongings were taken care of, and they stayed in touch to help. There are two actors on site; they perform at a high level—even when the walkie-talkie battery died, they turned it into a joke, swapped it, and carried on as if nothing had happened. There are plenty of hints, but they guided us to the finale beauti

We completed "Dark Side," and it’s one of the strongest horror escape rooms I’ve ever done. The sets are lush, the atmosphere crushes your resolve, and the actor Nikita, playing the professor, kept the tension to the very end — we wanted to run out, but we stayed and didn’t regret it.

Very atmospheric and genuinely scary. The corridor with hands gave us goosebumps all over! The actors guide you gently but keep you on edge. We left happy and exhilarated, emotions running high.

I liked how the puzzles are structured: they follow one another in a chain and don’t break the pace; the finale arrived unexpectedly—an hour flew by like a moment. The actors are very convincing; the girl in the stressful scenes really gets under your skin.

A little scary and very interesting; I especially liked the button puzzles and that very passage with the hands — it gave me goosebumps. The actors take good care of your nerves and support you — thanks to them for that.

The ambiance is great and the story is gripping. The puzzles felt a bit too simple and linear; I would have preferred fewer hints and more challenge. Still, it drew me in and time flew by.

I rarely write reviews like this, but the professor absolutely crushed it—the suspense didn’t let up until the finale. The team helped set up a mini adventure for us and even looked after the kids at the reception desk. We were yelling, laughing—it was a blast.

A superb pairing of two actors: they tease each other, then turn the screws—and you're either laughing or hiding. The locations are well thought out, and the music and lighting add a thick layer of horror. The left-luggage room is a small thing, but a nice touch.

Well executed, but cramped and somewhat dusty. You can hear the actors moving around; at one point they rushed in abruptly—it was more of a startle from surprise than from the atmosphere. We finished quickly, in just under fifty minutes.

From the very first seconds you're plunged into an anxious fairy tale: shadows, rustles, and a girl who's both frightening and impossible to take your eyes off. The maniac is perfectly embodied, the tension stays steady, and the setting cleverly ties your thoughts in knots. I'll come back for more.

We’ve tried a bunch of horror attractions in Kirov and unanimously put this one at the top. The two-actor concept works 100%: they scare you when they should and have you in stitches when they should. And yeah, for the first time I saw on-site lockers — a small thing, but great service.
