About the escape room

The quest is based on real events that occurred here at the beginning of the 20th century. In December 1905, workers of railway workshops and soldiers of the Krasnoyarsk garrison raised a rebellion against tsarist power. The rebellion was suppressed by machine gun fire and the deserters chased by the troops tried to hide in a basement located not far from the house. They were never seen again… While restoring this building we stumbled upon a large old basement. We wanted to explore where these catacombs lead, but we couldn't shake off the feeling of an evil presence… While studying the city archives, we learned that there used to be a pagan sanctuary in these places. Krasnoyarsk was being built, and in the 19th century, houses and garrison barracks had grown on the site of the ancient temple. We made the decision to brick up the strange catacombs. You can descend into the basement, but we take no responsibility for the consequences... Age restrictions: 18+ (14+ (ultra-light), 16+ (light))

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost guests praise the real-basement setting, lighting and sound design, and the actors’ performance — those are what make the quest scary and dynamic. Puzzles are mostly mechanical, not super hard, but in the dark and under jump-scare pressure they feel tougher; some note there aren’t many rooms. There are complaints about darkness, dust, and occasional technical glitches, as well as predictable actor entrances for some visitors. Group dynamics shape the emotions: scarier for two, larger teams may get spooked less.
WeaknessesNot many locations; some miss a larger scale. Very dark and at points dusty: you can trip and get dirty, light-colored clothes aren’t ideal. Occasional complaints about predictable appearances and technical hiccups.
StrengthsThe underground atmosphere with thoughtful light and sound pulls you in from the first minutes. Actors flexibly adapt to the team and keep a great pace. Multiple fear/contact levels, handy for a first horror experience.
SecurityYou get a briefing before start; during the run they monitor and assist via radio, and adjust contact level. It’s very dark and at points tight and dusty — closed shoes and careful movement are best.
Level of fearOn medium and up it’s genuinely scary, scream-level; the sensitive should pick light or ultralight. Suitable for teens 14+ in gentle modes, with adults and no contact.
Actors' gameActors often get special praise: move silently, make eerie sounds, respect boundaries, and turn up the heat at the right moments. Some feel entrances can be anticipated, but overall the acting is consistently high-level.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are mostly mechanical and situational, logic is clear, but under stress it’s easy to hit a dead end. Hardcore fans of intricate riddles may want more depth; for newcomers and groups “for the feelings” it’s just right. There were isolated complaints about non-working mechanisms and actions being hard due to poor visibility.
PlotThe legend leans on local history: undergrounds, a riot, and missing people, plus a hint of an ancient shrine. The plot is more a backdrop for atmosphere and scare scenes than a complex story.
Difficulty levelDifficulty and contact are adjustable; most teams feel comfy on light or medium. Die-hard puzzle fans may find it on the simple side, while newcomers get a pleasant “baptism by fire.”

The dungeon feels real—the ambiance, sound, and lighting run like clockwork. The puzzles are unusual and not clichéd, and solving them is a pleasure. The actors are sensitive to boundaries and can startle you when you least expect it. Highly recommended.

It was our first “scary” quest; we went with medium difficulty. The puzzles felt easy but interesting; what threw us off most wasn’t the riddles but the sudden visitors—the actors were great at distracting us. It’s a better fit for those who want to get scared than for fans of pure logic. Going as a pair was just right.

A very cozy welcome: there’s a place to sit and change, the staff are attentive—they served us coffee and got us set up. In the quest itself they even managed to scare our daredevil; the puzzles were pleasant. The only downside is we’d like more locations—the experience ended too quickly.

Very atmospheric, and I got chills from the first minute. We went for medium; the actors gently played on our nerves, my knees were literally shaking. Tip: wear closed-toe shoes — it’s dark and you might brush against the set. We want to come back for the hard mode.

Hard mode hit the spot! Adrenaline, just the right amount of contact, and the water location was awesome. Hints were given sparingly so as not to break the pace. We walked out feeling victorious, with sweaty palms.

It felt like half the mechanics were not working; the doors seemed to be opened remotely on a timer. No hints were given, the briefing was boring and muddled, and at the end there were no explanations either. They even reprimanded us for putting our hands out in the dark. It left a very unpleasant aftertaste.

We chose the hardcore option and didn’t regret it: it was scary, the contact was handled carefully—no injuries. Loved how the actors “chitter” and jump out right on cue, and the water room was a special treat. The host even cracked a joke at the exit—everyone laughed.

The escape room was disappointing: we didn’t feel any atmosphere, the puzzles are mechanical, and in the dark you can hardly see what to do. The actors’ entrances are predictable, the costumes are weak, and there’s almost no plot. Overall, it felt like a waste of time — I don’t recommend it.

Great location—the sound and lighting create excellent suspense. Mechanics-based puzzles; I’d only wish for more rooms and more space. Otherwise, it’s awesome—choose a mode that’s not the easiest.

We made it out of the Catacombs with everyone intact but our nerves shot. In places it’s so dark that we grabbed the set a couple of times—unpleasant, but we got through it. Otherwise, the emotions are intense; the actors and organization are on point. We just realized that horror isn’t for everyone in our group.

I liked the technical side; the tasks are designed in an unconventional way. We completed it in 40 minutes—it felt like just minutes flew by. Personally, it wasn’t entirely to my taste, but it’s definitely worth trying at least once.

Not my kind of experience: some mechanisms seemed not to work, doors opened by themselves on a timer. The introductory briefing was rattled off, and after the game nothing was explained. I was upset.

Somewhat predictable scares; a couple of times we got stuck because it was too dark around the mechanisms. But the atmosphere makes up for it, and the final chase was memorable. A decent quest, not a masterpiece.
