About the escape room

In the city, which later became an exclusion zone due to a nuclear power plant explosion, perhaps the most mysterious place was organized. A large and abandoned laboratory in a dense forest, located 10 kilometers from the local nuclear power plant, has always attracted the interest of stalkers. After all, for a long time, illegal experiments were carried out here on anomalies. Their result were the most unusual mutants and creatures, which due to one failed experiment managed to escape, but soon were locked in one of the blocks on the territory. The artificial intelligence system, responsible for the security and data preservation of the laboratory, closed all exits, condemning a huge number of employees to certain death. You are a group of electricians, who were invited here for troubleshooting after the accident. Arriving at the place, you realize that the laboratory is completely abandoned, but the horrors that have occurred within the walls of this place make you experience the most gruesome feelings. And if something goes wrong? It seems I hear something... The trap has sprung... Welcome to Laboratory X-20!

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the scale, acting, and sound/lighting — immersion starts at the entrance and doesn’t let go until the finale. Fear is tuned to the team; after the game you can walk the set, take photos, and even buy a video. Common cons: not enough puzzles and waiting pauses between scenes; less often — stuffiness, price, and some sparse corridors. There are alternate endings, but some teams got confused about tasks and progress.
WeaknessesFans of classic puzzles may find the tasks lacking; delays and waits between room transitions occur. Sometimes people complain about stuffiness, a long briefing, and the price, as well as rare organizational hiccups that broke the script. Some teams wanted more set dressing in corridors and clearer cues for item search.
StrengthsHuge, varied location and cinematic sound and lighting. Strong actors and flexible interaction with players, photo/video service and a cozy lounge. Safety is well thought out; you can come with large groups and kids.
SecurityCorners and openings are padded, movement is monitored, running in full darkness is forbidden — overall safe. The briefing is detailed, parents get safe words, and after the game you can calmly explore the location.
Level of fearVery loud, dark, with active jump scares — great for adults, kids should choose a softer mode. Actors can dial down the horror, so family teams feel comfortable.
Actors' gameThey perform convincingly, keep the pace, and adapt to the team’s experience, from hardcore fans to newbies and kids. After the run they chat, take photos, and help close plot questions.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are mostly simple and on-theme, about attentiveness and quick decisions under stress. Some guests ask for more tasks and technical links; sometimes people got confused by wording and expectations of progress. If you’re looking for “lots of mechanics and ciphers,” it may feel lacking.
PlotA story about a lab accident unfolds from the threshold and leads through an abandoned complex, with moments of beautiful yet scary scenes. There are different endings, but with pauses some teams lose a sense of progress.
Difficulty levelBy puzzles the level is closer to easy-medium; stress, darkness, and dynamics create the challenge. Newcomers and thrill-seekers will be comfortable, puzzle-heads may find it too simple.

The venue is really about 550 square meters; the sound and special effects make you jump, and the lighting adds tension. Everything is safe; they provide gowns, the storyline is interesting with multiple endings. After the game, they let us walk around the location and take photos — that’s rare and very cool.

The area is huge, which makes it psychologically tense—actors can appear from anywhere. The sound is powerful, the lighting excellent, and the immersion begins right at the door. They showed scenes that were both beautiful and creepy, and there’s also a large area for parties, which is a real plus.

From the very first minutes, the actors, sound, and lighting create a thick atmosphere of horror. It’s scary but also fun; you can tell the music was chosen thoughtfully. The after-photos are fire, and the lounge area helps you catch your breath. If you’re in Novosibirsk looking for big thrills, this is it.

Actors and costumes are strong, the sound is deep, the bass is gorgeous. But there are hardly any puzzles, the corridors are empty, and it was stuffy. The price is above market, and arguing with the criticism after the game wasn’t worth it. Overall, for us — a bit weak.

It kicks off right at the doorstep, then opens into a huge location with a fast pace. It’s scary when you’re standing in halls with lots of passages and don’t know where something might jump out from. The lighting and music are very unconventional, the actors give it their all, and the tasks are clear and fit the laboratory theme.

The venue is impressive; even the sound alone creates a sense of someone’s presence, and the immersion into the game begins right at the doorstep. The puzzles are well-balanced, the venue is safe with padded corners. The staff are very polite, and after the game they took some great photos.

We celebrated a child’s birthday here. It’s convenient that they offer different packages, a spacious lounge area, a greeting from the team, and a relaxed photo shoot. The entertainers gently guide the kids, the activities are engaging, and the staff is very attentive.

We were basically walking between two rooms in the dark, looking for unlabeled items. In the finale, valves were required that weren’t there, and the actors admitted the plot had broken — for the last few minutes they just led us back and forth. For that kind of money, it’s disappointing.

The immersion was great, but we often had to stand and wait for the next scene, which slowed the pace. I wanted clearer interactions.

Interaction and lighting are solid, but the puzzle content is thin and there’s a lot of waiting between rooms. I followed the wording exactly—and it was a flop: no outcome and the progression is unclear. We didn’t find any technical linkages either. I don’t recommend it if you’re going for the puzzles.

Came with the kids and didn’t regret it: they tailored the scare level, the challenges were manageable, and everything felt safe. Photos and video to remember it by were a nice bonus.

An excellent balance for those who want both to be scared and to get involved. The team really understands the players; the special effects and costumes are gorgeous, and the lighting scenes are downright mesmerizing. You can see the potential to grow even further.

The atmosphere is great and the actors are top-notch, but in a couple of spots it felt stuffy, and I would have liked a bit more puzzles and details in the corridors. Otherwise, very solid.

The price is steep, the briefing is long, and then there’s lots of wandering in the dark and waiting. Not our thing, alas.
