About the escape room

Each of us encounters an emotion that causes feelings of helplessness, anxiety, and unrest. This emotion is called "fear". Everyone has their own: some are afraid of heights, some of large spaces, some have a fear of spiders, and some cannot be in confined spaces. But the biggest and most common is the fear of darkness. What lies in wait, and what unknowns lurk in the dark? You are about to face this, overcoming all your phobias, and look fear straight in the eye. After all, only fear can protect from danger. Age

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIAlmost everyone praises the total darkness, the convoluted maze, and the very strong work by the actors—they scare, yet also help and joke. The fear level is high: many call the quest “the scariest,” with laughter and panic alternating. There are few puzzles—the main focus is on item search, navigation, and interaction with characters. People note loud music, navigation difficulties, and that contact and electric shocks are used by agreement.
WeaknessesFor some it’s too dark and unclear what to do at the start; orientation is difficult. Fans of classic puzzles may find the tasks lacking. There are periodic complaints about loud music, heat, and possible bruises from collisions.
StrengthsA powerhouse atmosphere: darkness, sound, jump scares, and unexpected character entrances. The actors flexibly adapt to the team, build tension, and prompt at the right moment. The format is fresh and dynamic—the emotions last for a long time.
SecurityRules are explained before the start and you’re asked to follow them—then it’s safe. Contact and electroshock devices are used only with consent, but in the dark it’s easy to hit corners, so wear comfortable clothes and stay alert.
Level of fearVery scary, especially for those afraid of the dark, clowns, or confined spaces. Better suited to adults and older teens; the impressionable should choose a softer mode or another format.
Actors' gameActors are praised almost unanimously: they go all-in, appear effectively, keep the pace, and can adjust intensity per the team’s agreement. They often joke, support, and gently guide if you’re stuck.
Quality of riddlesClassic puzzles are minimal; the main “task” is navigating in the dark and finding figurines. There are small tasks and interactive elements, but it’s more action than puzzle. Riddle lovers may find the depth lacking.
PlotThe plot is secondary: survival and searching in a dark maze under the pressure of fear, with rare flashes of light and encounters with various entities. The story is delivered through atmosphere and characters, without long expositions.
Difficulty levelPsychologically tough due to darkness and constant tension; navigation is difficult, especially at the beginning. Newcomers enjoy it, but those expecting puzzles may find it simple in logic and hard in orientation.

Fantastic experience for those afraid of the dark: at times my knees really buckled. The actors have a sense of humor and tact — they go all-in on the scares but discreetly give hints if you get stuck. Total darkness works perfectly for the atmosphere.

Complete darkness; it's hard to get your bearings. The door to one of the passages is practically at floor level — we had to crawl. Lots of actors, energetic performances — tons of impressions.

The administrator explained everything in detail. There are few puzzles, but plenty of interaction and darkness, which is a real challenge for the faint-hearted. Creepy at times, but safe if you follow the rules.

A very unusual project: the acting is strong, and the music never lets you out of the atmosphere for a second. Darkness and sound are spot on.

If you like darkness and running through a maze, this is for you. The actors have a sense of humor and give hints when you're stuck. Scary enough to give you goosebumps.

The briefing was clear, and we agreed on the contact details in advance. At times it was hard to find our bearings; we bumped into the walls a couple of times, but the emotions are worth it.

The actors performed exactly as we had discussed in advance. It was both scary and funny; we even managed to make friends with the clown. Excellent balance.

The format is cool, but the music is sometimes too loud, and at the beginning I had no idea what to look for. The actors, though, deserve top marks - they carried the game.

Pitch-black darkness and actors who seem to appear out of nowhere. Screaming, laughing, then screaming again — a great mix of fear and fun. I’ll be back for a second dose of adrenaline.

Great interaction with multiple actors without going overboard. A memorable moment with the pipes in the corners — scary and intriguing at the same time. Recommended for beginners.

Basically you walk in complete darkness, occasionally catching flashes of light from a stun device. It’s scary and thrilling, but they honestly warn you in advance. We loved it!

Hardly any puzzles—mostly searching and hiding. But it keeps you on edge! We bolted out of the rooms like a shot, and the clown was awesome.

Nothing to compare it with: atmospheric, a maze-like format, on edge the whole time. It wasn't easy to get out; we almost made it to the end—scary and unusual.

Fear to the point of trembling, pitch‑black darkness, the actors are top‑class. We came out of the finale riding a wave of wild emotions—I’ll definitely be back.
