Judgment Night: Arena

The atmosphere hooks you from the very first minutes: the actors are so in character it gives you goosebumps, and the characters’ lines really hit. Bobby alternates between sympathy and applying pressure with his talk; the electrician and the card player are a delight of their own. The location is well thought out and generally safe, but it’s best to watch your movements so you don’t scratch yours... Expand

A year ago we went to another Judgment Night and were hesitant, but Artyom lured us back—and it was worth it. Arena is a wild mix of fear and fun, plus there’s a safe zone with water right in the game. There are passages everywhere—you never know where they’ll jump out from. We’re scaredy-cats, so we chose the gentler medium difficulty—and it delivered more than enough emotions. Special thanks to ... Expand

We went for the hard mode and came out happily wrecked. Lots of running and jumping; we even banged into the set a couple of times, and the actors kept spicing things up. Left with some scrapes, but no complaints—we knew what we were signing up for. Tip: play the first part first for context. Props to the team!

Here the game starts right at the threshold: numbered uniforms, bags over your head — and into the dark. Then it’s running, hide-and-seek, catacombs, and a mad clown with assistants. Get caught — it’s prison, and the team has only five minutes for a rescue. We got a ton of vivid emotions; we’ll be back.

Arena outdid the first part — I was literally screaming, crying, and hiding in the corners. The team keeps you engaged and the tension high; I didn’t expect this level. The mini-challenges are great, but my hands were shaking and I couldn’t do anything. The stealth moments are awesome — we’ll come for part three once my heart calms down.

I’ve been to Sudnaya six times already, and the Arena still managed to surprise me. There’s lots of contact—at moments I even wanted to say stop, that’s how intense it gets. If you love adrenaline-fueled hide-and-seek, this is definitely the place. The team’s imagination is boundless, with countless ways to deliver emotions; they pushed us to the limit and drained us, but we’re happy.

Really liked it, but I left with a couple of bruises—the format is very active, keep that in mind. The actors are gentle and attentive, and the fear and adrenaline are right on point.

Great pace and actors, but in the red room I wanted tougher challenges and a bit more chasing rather than instant grabs. Otherwise, top-notch—wear comfortable clothing.

The action is fantastic, better than any workout. The performer is a beast and really goes for it, but carefully spots you and sets you down—everything is safe and professional. I highly recommend dressing light—you’ll work up a sweat and do a lot of running around.

We went with Medium with softening—tons of thrills without going overboard. The water safety zone saves you when your heart rate hits 180. We’ll be back for Hard—this was fire.

First-time experience, we opted for a gentler medium level—and it was spot on. Bobby was both funny and creepy, and the team adapted to us—scary and fun.

Unfortunately, it didn’t land. We expected real scares and a larger cast, but in reality there were only three actors, and Bobby in the dialogues was more amusing than scary. We wanted an adrenaline rush, but we hardly felt any fear.

There was so much emotion my hands were shaking. Bobby’s words hit so hard they make your blood run cold, while the electrician occasionally defuses the tension with jokes. Everyone throws themselves into their roles—an absolute pleasure to watch.

I expected more puzzles and story, but mostly got running and physical contact. Not my thing, though the actors try hard and keep the atmosphere lively.
