About the escape room

You are a group of young travelers who have stopped at a hotel from 1963. The hotel room seemed strange, but you didn't pay any attention to it because of tiredness and a long journey. Night falls, consciousness clouds, you start hearing voices. Realizing that something is wrong with the hotel, you decide to figure it out. But he is clearly not pleased that someone is rummaging through his things. He is a puppeteer named Kalen. The hotel owner who went mad after the death of his daughter. All he has left of her are dolls. Kalen believes that his daughter is here, that her soul is in one of the dolls. To maintain the girl's life the puppeteer kills and feeds the doll with human souls. Whether you can escape or become the next victims – depends only on you.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost are thrilled with the actors: strong performances, adjustable contact, often chat after the quest. Almost everyone praises the atmosphere and sets; sound and light build tension. Puzzles are generally logical and medium difficulty, but sometimes feel simple or navigation confuses. There are recurring complaints about overly rough physical contact, loud screams, occasional breaches of agreed boundaries, and a sense of short duration.

WeaknessesSometimes people note rough contact, bruises, and failure to honor agreements, especially on hard modes. There are reviews about loud screaming and noise, as well as short run time and occasional cleanliness issues. At times you can hear an actor in advance, which undercuts the scare.

StrengthsThe setting and sound create a heavy, cinematic atmosphere, and the actors pull emotions to the max. Contact and fear level are flexibly tuned to the team; individual scenes are possible. Puzzles are thematic and generally fair; hints help without spoilers.

SecurityBefore start you get a briefing and can choose contact level, but there have been cases of breaking agreed limits and painful interactions. Sound is very loud in places, and they also asked not to jump into the “windows” in the finale — follow the rules and state your boundaries.

Level of fearOn Hard/Hard+ and Horror it’s genuinely scary, with high emotional pressure. For kids and newcomers there are light, no-contact modes — many families say that’s comfortable.

Actors' gameThe actors are the main strength: charisma, improvisation, precise timing; an extra actor is often recommended for a “wow effect.” Contact can be discussed, but some reviews report overreach — clarify boundaries in advance.

Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied: mechanics, electronics, attentiveness, all woven into the plot. Difficulty is mostly medium, sometimes above; newbies get through with hints, experienced players may find parts easy. Sometimes navigation around the location or certain tasks feel banal.

PlotThe story of puppeteer Kalen and his obsession with dolls unfolds as you progress, through scenes and discoveries. The plot keeps a line of tragedy and mysticism, without excess spoilers.

Difficulty levelPuzzle difficulty leans toward medium: newcomers are comfortable with hints, experienced players may finish quickly. On hard modes the challenge is more from contact and stress than from tasks.

Grigory Danilov

This isn’t just a collection of puzzles, but a full-fledged production where the set, lighting, and sound all serve a single purpose: immersion. The puzzles are woven into the story, the solutions are logical, and the puppet mechanics fit perfectly. The difficulty is above average but fair; in a couple of places it demanded a shift in mindset—and that was satisfying.

The team was left dissatisfied: the billed actress didn’t show up, the actor was ill, and some scenes didn’t work. The boundaries agreed on before the performance were violated — people were pulled by the hair, and there was dust and dirty props. In moments like that you forget about fear; all that remains is irritation.

The atmosphere grabs you from the moment you step in; the sound is overpowering. Actor Ilya keeps a fantastic pace and never lets up. We went for Hard — it was scary but within reason, and the hints were on point. We walked out happy and exhausted, like after a play.

We’re 14–15 with zero experience and went straight for hard. The actor was convincing, and the game master ran it well and helped when we got stuck. The puzzles were within our abilities, and there were plenty of thrills for everyone.

I asked them not to touch my hair — they kept pulling anyway. It was dusty too; my hands got dirty. At some point it stopped being scary and was just unpleasant. I'm disappointed.

We arrived a little early — they didn’t let us in; we finished the quest quickly and it felt short. The actor, however, was excellent, and starting right in the guests’ room was unexpected and cool. Mixed impressions: great, but too short.

Strong acting and a cool location, but it went by quickly. We would have liked more rooms and scenes. The administrator was friendly and explained everything.

Great quest, but one of the actors shouts very loudly — for those who can’t stand that kind of noise, it’s better to choose another option. Everyone else will enjoy it: plenty of emotions and memorable moments.

We went with my son in easy mode, no contact. The puzzles were interesting, and the actor didn’t push but kept the tension. Great for families!

Highlights of the venue: the five of us didn’t get lost, and two actors really delivered. The set design is excellent, though some puzzles felt a bit basic — forgivable given the overall awesomeness.

Organization was top-notch: the atmosphere, the puzzles, and the actor all worked. After the quest, even the teddy bear in the corner seemed suspicious—and that’s the best compliment a horror can get.

An eerily intense atmosphere held us until the very end; we even unlocked a bonus scene beyond the standard plan. With the extra actor, the tension and pacing increased — we recommend doing it this way to fully experience the atmosphere.

I liked the quest, but the actress's scream was too loud for me—I had to cover my ears a couple of times. The puzzles are fine and logical. Overall, I recommend it, but if you're sensitive to sound, go for something quieter.

The actor's performance was on fire and kept us on our toes. The only downside for us was that the venue felt small. Otherwise, thanks for the emotions!
