WeaknessesSome players note illogical or loosely connected puzzles and an overreliance on locks and codes. In places the decor and tech feel dated; minor breakages occur, the half-light with a single flashlight can be tricky, and it’s not always clear what just opened. At times the ending and overall narrative feel weakly justified.
StrengthsThe USSR and underground bunker atmosphere is well conveyed, with many areas and enough to keep the whole team busy. Hosts guide delicately and set a comfortable pace. Ideal for newcomers and family groups.
SecurityThere’s a briefing before the game; the host monitors and helps, overall it feels safe. Large groups may find it cramped and stuffy; the dim light and a single flashlight add difficulty, and rare tech hiccups are handled promptly.
Level of fearNot scary and without actors, kept in an adventurous tone. Suitable for teens 13+ and adults; kids usually feel confident with hints.
Actors' gameNo actors; interaction goes through the host. Operators are responsive and polite, give gentle hints on request, which many appreciate.
Quality of riddlesTasks are mainly about searching, codes, and keys, mixed with mechanical elements; the logic is mostly clear but will feel simple to experienced players. There are moments of guessing and dependencies on outside knowledge, making some puzzles debatable. Tech occasionally misbehaves, but hosts resolve it quickly.
PlotThe story about Soviet scientists, an epidemic, and the attempt to find a cure and get out of the bunker comes through, but for some guests the cause-and-effect links and the ending feel underwritten. Atmospheric details support immersion without spoilers.
Difficulty levelDifficulty leans toward easy-medium: comfortable for newcomers, experienced teams speed through. Best with three to four; in pairs you may lack hands; large kids’ groups manage with hints.
