About the escape room

You are journalists. While other publishers are just churning out news about a new maniac and people disappearing, and the police are inactive, you decided to take matters into your own hands. For many months you have been conducting your own investigation on this matter and were almost sure that all the disappearances are connected, but things did not add up... Until one point. You receive a video in which a girl, who introduced herself as Alice, detailed what had been happening to her over a several weeks. The puzzle came together. All that remained was to verify this information. Having noted down the address mentioned by the girl, you set off to search for your own scoop.

AI
Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
Go for the powerhouse acting, vast atmospheric spaces, and sharp emotional contrasts: at times funny, at times genuinely creepy. It’s more a story-driven performance than a key hunt, so adrenaline is guaranteed.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often, people praise the actors and their improvisation, plus the spacious locations and instant immersion. Opinions on fear vary: some find it very scary, others moderate. Few puzzles and they’re easy; darkness can get in the way, and actors sometimes overprompt. There are complaints about service and organization, and occasional mismatch with the stated contact mode.
WeaknessesService stumbles: delayed starts, no signage or warm waiting area, and at times inept briefing. Plot misalignments with the description and confusion around contact modes occur. Some complain about darkness and the opacity of certain tasks.
StrengthsStrong acting and lively interaction with the team. Large locations, striking decor, and well-placed sound build the right pressure. Variable contact levels and even branches in the story.
SecurityConcerning reports about ignoring the chosen light mode and using hazardous props near the face. Before the game, clearly set boundaries, safewords, and contact level; make sure the briefing is thorough.
Level of fearFeels range from creepy to moderately scary, often with a dash of dark humor. Teens 14–16 manage on light and medium settings, but it’s best to discuss contact in advance.
Actors' gameThe actors carry it: lots of improv, vivid characters, gentle hints without breaking the mood. Contact can range from soft to hard, but its execution is reportedly inconsistent at times.
Quality of riddlesFew puzzles, integrated into the story and mostly of medium or below-medium difficulty. Newcomers feel comfortable; veterans will like that it’s not key-and-lock, but may find sections too simple. Light is sometimes lacking, so solutions come via hints.
PlotA puppet-master maniac story with immersion from the first minutes; some guests are hooked. Others note confusion and mismatch with the description, so it’s better taken as a branched performance than a detective plot.
Difficulty levelDifficulty is more comfortable, with focus on emotions and interaction. Experienced players may prefer a tougher setting to chase the thrill of actor improvisation.

I’ve done over 30 escape rooms; few really hook me, but here the actors and their improvisation are a straight 10/10. It’s spacious—comfortable even for a large group. The story is about a maniac, and the puzzles aren’t just “key-and-lock,” they make you think. The lounge draws you in from the moment you step inside, the contact level is moderate, and the atmosphere is strong. We’ll be back.

I reached a rare level of immersion for myself: it felt like I’d stepped into a horror from the very first seconds. The locations are detailed, the puzzles are well-judged, and the hints are delivered carefully without breaking the magic. An excellent entry point for newcomers and a test of nerves for the experienced.

We waited about forty minutes for the start; the script turned out to be different from what was on the website; there was nowhere to wash off the dust afterward. The acting was strong, but the organization needs work.

We chose the light version with minimal contact, but in reality they grabbed us by the neck and brought a blowtorch close to our faces. Such rule violations spoil the experience, even with decent acting.

The game is okay, the actors did a great job, but the start was delayed by almost 40 minutes, there was no sign, and it was cold outside. If they improve the service, it'll be top.

Loved the locations—plenty of space, and the costumes and makeup were on point. But the story fell apart: we were either running or just standing around, with lots of waiting and a feeling they were stretching time. They didn’t offer a choice of mode, and no photos or videos were taken—the organization is lacking.

We chose the “light” option, but the contact ended up being painful: there were choking holds, and a hoodie got scorched by a blowtorch. It seems safety rules weren’t followed, hence the low rating.

No signage outside; inside, we were greeted late and without a proper briefing, leaving a sense of chaos. Plot-wise, it’s empty, but the actors do a good job. The service let us down.

Immersive from the moment you step in: locations shift from cozy to oppressive, and the music amplifies the emotions. The actors flexibly adapt to the group and keep the tension high; the characters’ stories feel real. We recommend it—the emotions linger for a long time.

The puzzles are solid, not overloaded, but a couple of times there simply wasn’t enough light, so we had to ask for extra lighting. The plot is patchy in places, but the emotions are great and the actors carry it.

We opted for the “light” option but ended up with rough contact and hazardous props near the face. Mixed feelings: the team plays hard, but this approach to safety isn’t acceptable.

We'd been to these guys before, came here for the adrenaline — and it delivered. This isn't about complex puzzles; it's about the thrill and a story you can dive into. We loved it.

A large team; it feels spacious and dynamic. The host set the mood right in the lobby, the finale was great, and the actors were improvising. Recommended for fans of performance art.

The sets are nice, but it never got scary, and at times the actors solved the puzzles for us. We left disappointed—good thing it wasn’t our first escape room.
