About the escape room

He had been alone since birth. One leg was shorter than the other. Everyone around him bullied him. Thanks to a book he found at his grandmother's bedside titled "Voodoo Dolls," he made friends of his own. Together with them, he played while his relatives paid him no attention. He learned to charm the dolls and control people with their help. When he built his house, he became the local doll maker. He was eager to take revenge on people for their indifference towards him and his loneliness. Everyone avoided the house ever since. The word "dollmaker" gave locals chills. You, curious crime seekers, having read an online article about the mysterious disappearance of people, decided to visit the house in such a remote settlement and figure everything out, despite the stories of the locals. As soon as you broke into the house, you noticed a creepy doll on the floor that seemed to hypnotize you with its eyes. Soon you woke up in a gloomy room filled with numerous children's toys...

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise goes to the actor: he carries the interactive part and keeps the pace, so the quest is experienced in one breath. Sets and locations are noted as very detailed and varied; many want to return. Scare factor is just right: adrenaline is palpable but controlled. There are small practical downsides and occasional comments on organization.
WeaknessesSometimes they don’t warn about wet/dusty sections, so you’d want spare shoes or shoe covers, and the water can be cold. There was a note about a puzzle that requires physical strength — not for everyone. Some teams don’t make it to the finale and get stuck on something simple.
StrengthsStrong acting delivery and tight interaction with the team. Rich atmosphere: sound, light, set dressing, and unexpected transitions between rooms. Good emotional balance, when it’s both scary and fun.
SecurityPhysical contact is optional and negotiated; the actor carefully respects boundaries. It’s better to ask in advance about a change of clothes/shoes and water temperature — there were complaints about cold water and dust on the floor.
Level of fearModerately scary, with mounting tension; two reviewers even wanted to leave, but excitement won out. 12+ format, interaction level is selectable, so it suits teens with strong nerves.
Actors' gameThe actor is praised almost unanimously: engaged, flexibly adapts to the group, and can scare without crudeness. Choosing hard‑mode interaction adds drive, but he does it carefully and in the context of the story.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied and on‑theme, generally fair and clear. There are moments where the team stalls on something simple, but hints are embedded in the plot and don’t break the atmosphere. One episode requiring physical strength was noted — a contentious point.
PlotThe story about a local puppeteer and voodoo unfolds as you go, without extra lectures. The hook grabs right away, then the tension builds up to the finale.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty: experienced players will find it engaging, newcomers may need hints. Time flies fast, so without coordination you might not make it to the denouement.

Overall, the quest is well thought-out, and the host did an excellent job. However, it would be good to warn people in advance about bringing a change of clothes or shoe covers: after one room our shoes got dusty, and one puzzle is hard to complete without physical strength, which is unusual for quests. It would be helpful to repeat such points during the confirmation call or via WhatsApp.

We’ve been to this team before and were once again delighted. The locations and the story are engrossing, and the actor goes all out. We didn’t make it to the end and got stuck at a simple spot, but the team deftly wove our exit into the storyline and gave us a final scare—we want to come back for the finale.

The quest is awesome, but our shoes were dusty after just one room and the water was on the cool side — a heads-up would be appreciated. Otherwise, fantastic: pace, decor, and the actor is fully engaging.

We went to see “The Puppeteer” as a group and left brimming with emotions. The actor gives it his all, the set design is great, time flew by, and afterwards we spent a long time discussing it and laughing at our own goofs. Huge thanks to the organizers — highly recommended if you want to unwind.

The actor’s performance was, as always, fantastic—the whole team was overflowing with emotions and is already making plans to come back. Some of the guys went through the quest again and were thrilled all over again. Thanks to the performer for the lively, spot-on acting.

Incredibly atmospheric! The actor pierces you with his gaze but keeps boundaries—there isn’t a second of silence. The locations are gorgeous, with something new in every room. We left happy and a little hoarse from all the laughter and squeals.

The puzzles are logical, but we unexpectedly got stuck on an easy one and ran out of time. The hint arrived subtly and in character, without breaking the atmosphere. Overall, we were satisfied.

The quest is high-energy, with lots of adrenaline. We chose physical contact and didn’t regret it—the emotions hit us like a wave. For us, this is the best experience in Novokuznetsk so far.

I loved the set design and the transitions between rooms. The actor draws out the emotions to the max without going overboard. I’d go again with a different group.

It was both scary and fun—just the way we like it. The only downside was that the water was cold, but it didn’t spoil the impression. We’ll be back.

We chose the physical-contact mode, and it really amped up the adrenaline. It was scary but safe and fit the story. I'd love to see the finale again.
