WeaknessesSome miss the sense of scale: little movement, the quest is linear, at points only two or three zones. There are occasional technical hiccups and comments about worn props, and they’d also like background music and a friendlier price.
StrengthsPuzzles are fair and detective‑precise, with a good balance of searching and logic. The BBC Sherlock‑style setting, neat technical touches, and secret passages keep interest to the end.
SecurityBefore the start they give a clear briefing and rules, including “an item is used once.” Overall safe, but don’t climb on furniture or pull the decor; they occasionally mentioned an unstable mirror or the risk of falling off a chair—attentiveness solves it.
Level of fearNot scary at all: no actors or jump scares, suitable for families and kids about 10–11. Detective atmosphere; at most, mild tension from hideaways and lasers.
Actors' gameNo acting; interaction goes through the host. Administrators like Sergey and Lena are polite, give clear instructions, and hint delicately without breaking the solving fun.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are logical and transparently tied to the plot, with no absurd associations. There’s searching and mechanics with electronics, unusual locks, and tasks for team coordination. Some typical tasks appear, but there are plenty of fresh ideas.
PlotYou, as candidates for the “Irregulars,” undergo Holmes’s trial, progressing through clues and the apartment’s hideaways. The story is simple but keeps the pace and leads nicely to a finale without spoilers.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty: newcomers should take hints and listen carefully to the briefing. Experienced players will be interested, though don’t expect super‑hard knots or a huge number of rooms; optimal group is 2–4 players.
