About the escape room

The McClain family home, once filled with happy memories, lost its future the moment their 10-year-old son began descending into madness. Ryder's behaviour grew more frightening every day. He refused to let go of the music box he found in the forest and became obsessed with its melody. In utter desperation, his parents decided to place Ryder in a psychiatric clinic. It's the year 1970 and your company has been living opposite the wooden mansion for a week now. You are hurrying to visit the neighbouring family, as the incessant phone rings from there have become quite annoying. Why doesn't anyone pick up?

AI
Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
The secret box offers not just fear but a living story with a cinematic touch: actors, sound, and setting hook you at the threshold. Go if you want both jolts and a family drama to live through—not a dumb scare-fest, but a cohesive performance.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIAlmost everyone notes powerful acting, voice work, and action starting right at the door—immersion is instant. Scary without contact, with emotions enough for adults and teens; birthdays here are common. Puzzles are mostly mid-level and story-tied, but feel tougher under stress; occasional complaints about stuffiness and loud sound. The story is cohesive and sadly beautiful, the finale moves you.
WeaknessesSometimes it’s stuffy, and the music is too loud for some—actors’ speech gets lost in places. Big groups may feel cramped; fans of “contact” may miss it. Rare organizational hiccups and the occasional conflict.
StrengthsTop-tier actors and sound, “living” house locations, and a well-thought plot that unfolds scene by scene. Immersion from the doorstep and the feeling of a film in real life.
SecurityContactless format, with briefing and cameras; many highlight care and safety. Rare complaints include stuffiness and a lone bump on a doorframe, so better stay calm and wear comfy clothes.
Level of fearScary and tense, plenty of jump scares and gloomy scenes, but no touching. Teens 10–14 usually cope, though sensitive kids might balk at the entrance.
Actors' gameActors are the engine: voices, makeup, precise entrances, and careful interaction, performing from the first second. In a no-contact format they keep the team scared and guide the plot.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied and generally fair, mid-difficulty and well woven into the story. Newcomers feel comfortable; veterans will move faster, though adrenaline clouds thinking. Occasionally noted as too easy or not always logical in spots.
PlotThe family drama and the ominous box unfold gradually, piece by piece, into a logical yet painful ending. The story is whole, with no loose ends.
Difficulty levelDifficulty leans toward medium: comfortable for newbies and families, no hard ciphers—the main thrill is the performance. Under stress, tasks feel harder than they are.

Super performance: from the moment you walk in, you’re in the game; vintage-style locations are thought out to the smallest detail, and the soundtrack hooks you. Safety is top-notch, hints are discreet. 10 out of 10, we’ll be back.

One of the most well-thought-out escape rooms I’ve seen: the house feels lived-in, every item is in its place, and the plot comes together into a clear picture by the finale. The actors perform as if you’re watching a live film. A unique story that’s worth experiencing in person.

It wasn’t an escape room so much as a movie unfolding around you. The actors’ voices give you goosebumps, it starts right from the doorstep, and the puzzles are tied to the story. Scary, but considerate, with no physical contact. Highly recommend!

I liked the atmosphere and the actors, but the halls were stuffy, and the loud music at times drowned out the lines. They asked me to leave a positive review in exchange for a video, but then never got back in touch — left a sour aftertaste.

We returned after a while—it’s even better now: puzzles, atmosphere, music, and new plot twists. Beautiful, safe locations—nothing to snag on; the only falling was onto the couch from fear. Thanks for the upgrade!

The sound and music are a delight: high-quality tracks that keep the tension up. The story is coherent, the puzzles are interesting, the actors are top-notch. One of the best quests I’ve been to.

A terrifying, goosebump-inducing experience: lots of jump scares, actors appear unexpectedly, and it keeps you on edge even after the finale. There's no physical contact, but the fear more than makes up for it. Definitely recommend.

Booking was convenient: confirmations and reminders came automatically, the location was easy to find, and we got lucky with parking. Inside—instant immersion, clear instructions, strong acting, and video monitoring. Comfortable and to the point.

We were celebrating a birthday; two children got scared and didn’t go in, but the others came out very impressed. There’s tea and cookies in the waiting room, and the staff are attentive. Now the adults want to try it as well.

The way the story unfolded, I genuinely had tears in my eyes by the finale. The old-house atmosphere, the sound and the lighting gave me goosebumps. We’ll be back for these guys’ next project.

I liked it, but it was a bit stuffy and the music sometimes drowned out the dialogue. Everything else was great: the locations, the story, the actors carried it. Turn the volume down a touch and it would be perfect.

Unpleasant incident before the start: the host abruptly demanded that we take off our glasses because of the masks, a conflict flared up, and the game was stopped. In addition, one of the taller participants hit his head on the doorframe. According to many people's experience, this is rare, but it left a bad aftertaste.

I was worried that a no-contact format would be just so-so, but not at all! The actors go all out, and the finale really hits. The puzzles are medium level, but under stress they feel like hard mode.
