Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often praised: the atmosphere and cold effect, plus unusual transitions and mechanics. The quest is linear, but thanks to multi-level design and physical activity it isn’t boring. Optimal for 2–3 people; big teams may feel cramped and sometimes stuffy. Downsides include occasional technical hiccups, radio interference, 'extra' items, and uneven work by admins.
WeaknessesSometimes sticking locks and radio interference; hints can arrive unprompted. 'Extra' items can mislead, and sound bleeding from the waiting area hurts immersion. Some complaints about the safety of certain elements and tight rooms.
StrengthsStrong abandoned-station vibe with audio and a 'cold' effect, well-crafted set design. Fair, varied puzzles with lots of mechanics and actions. Transitions between locations deliver a real wow effect.
SecurityWear comfortable shoes and no jewelry; there’s crawling and ride-like elements—follow the briefing. Some reviews noted injury-prone moments, so don’t rush and call the host if in doubt.
Level of fearNot scary—more tense and atmospheric. Suitable for families and teens, but people with claustrophobia should note the small spaces.
Actors' gameNo actors; communication with the host is via radio. Tactful hints are usually praised, but sometimes intervention comes too early or the radio picks up stray signals.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are logical and contextual, with lots of mechanics and hands-on tasks; solutions are clearly tied to the environment. The start may feel drawn out, but then everything clicks. Experienced teams move fast; newcomers are comfortable with hints.
PlotA simple, clear survival-on-an-abandoned-station plot that unfolds as you go. The finale puts a full stop to the story without unnecessary spoilers.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty: fine for beginners, but at times you’ll need to think and move. Most comfortable as a duo or trio; otherwise it gets cramped.

Really didn’t work for me: boring and at times irritating. The lock in the polar explorer’s room kept sticking; the second turn wouldn’t go without help. The lighting was dim, one flashlight for everyone, and the blinking lamp only got in the way. During the “attraction” sections I painfully twisted my ankle, and an accidental exit to the PC menu killed the atmosphere. The administrator was sullen

Overall it’s interesting, but there are safety concerns. In some places nails are sticking out and the boards are wobbly; at one point I seriously injured my hand. The admin quickly helped with first aid, but they said this had happened before and they don’t plan to change anything — that was disappointing.

Fantastic transitions between rooms—wow! Climbing, crawling, pulling levers—I haven’t had this much fun in ages, and it all makes sense. The cold atmosphere works a hundred percent; the music and the sound of the wind add real energy. The host, Leonid, offered gentle help only when we asked.

Unfortunately, organizational and technical issues spoiled the impression. We had to wait a long time for the start; there was outside noise in the waiting room, the walkie-talkie was picking up interference, some mechanics were freezing up, and the administrator came in twice to fix things. The ending was cut short, a couple of tasks were simply skipped, and no apologies were offered. A shame, be

The quest was great, but the service fell short. We were greeted without much engagement; they accepted only cash, and you can inadvertently see the operator’s screen. The story was told monotonously, and after the game there was neither a debrief nor any feedback. That said, there are lots of puzzles, everything works, and the genre shifts along the way—which is cool. The on-site team really need

“Polar Station” grabbed us from the very first minutes: snow, wind, the details — you can feel the care put into every inch. The transitions are very unusual, and there’s tons of interactivity. All the puzzles are logical, though we got stuck for quite a while in the first room. Hints were given tactfully.

We were thrilled: the puzzles are unconventional, and the transitions and “attractions” will stick with you for a long time. It’s best to come in comfortable shoes and without jewelry. We ran overtime, but they let us finish calmly — a nice touch.

The atmosphere was great, but the tech let us down: one lock kept jamming, and we spent a long time thinking the code was wrong. The walkie-talkie kept cutting out or picking up other frequencies, and the wait before the start dragged on. Overall, we played okay, but it left a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

It didn't work for me due to safety and service. At one point I banged my elbow hard on a protruding edge, and the waiting area was noisy—you could hear everything in the game. The rooms are cramped, and the staff lacked enthusiasm.

We do escape rooms often and didn’t expect this level. One of the best non-scary rooms in the city: the puzzles are logical yet make you think, and the interactivity is a real highlight. The set design makes it feel like you’re really at a station.

The quest is cool and atmospheric; the puzzles fit the theme and the mechanics are pleasant. A couple of times the walkie-talkie picked up stray voices, and hints were given a couple of times without us asking — we’d have preferred a bit less intervention. Otherwise, we played through it in one breath.

Great atmosphere and a friendly team. The puzzles are excellent; we got hints over the radio, and Leonid guided us very tactfully. It was great to step out of our comfort zone and try our hand at being polar explorers.

I recommend going as a pair, three at most. The location isn’t difficult but it’s not boring; there are lots of mechanics and everything works. The rooms are small and can feel stuffy in places, but the impressions are vivid. Thanks to the staff.

We went as a family with a teenager; it wasn’t scary, but it was very engaging. You’re constantly doing something, there are many locations, and the finale was a pleasant surprise. Excellent support and no fuss.

On Fenrir's recommendation, we dropped by and didn't regret it. A warm welcome and a clear briefing. No actor, but the atmosphere and sound keep you in light suspense until the finale. The quest is linear, yet the level changes and transitions add drive. Lavka once again impressed with its attention to detail.
