About the escape room

Overbrook Psychiatric Hospital specializes in containing dangerous criminals and maniacs, from 1896 to the present day. There are many rumors about the hospital, including those related to paranormal phenomena and unconventional treatment methods. However, the greatest danger is posed by the patients of this clinic, who will never leave its walls. You are a team of young interns, who are about to be sent to this place to do their training. Getting here was difficult as Overbrook is located away from residential areas. Mobile communication and internet are completely unavailable... And finally: remember, patients can be very aggressive and unpredictable, so we cannot guarantee your complete safety within these walls...

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often, people praise the actors and total immersion: you’re greeted in character, kept in contact, with lots of interactions and stealth. The location is big and detailed, with sound, lighting, and even smells; the plot is clear with a twist. Puzzles are generally logical and mid-level, there’s nonlinearity and individual tasks; if you wish, contact is tuned from light to hard. Rare downsides include uncomfortable touch for some players, slippery spots/thresholds when running, and sometimes uneven delivery/hints.
WeaknessesSometimes there aren’t enough puzzles or, conversely, they give too many hints. Isolated complaints about rough contact in specific moments and safety when running over thresholds. Rarely—organizational hiccups: ignored preferences or a dispute over a discount.
StrengthsStrong acting and tight team interaction, immersion from the first minute. An atmospheric, large, and well-crafted location, excellent sound and lighting. A story with an unexpected finale, lots of solo bits and stealth.
SecurityBefore the start they ask about phobias and your desired contact level; actors try to be careful. But the location has thresholds and tile—better not to sprint and follow the briefing, and you’ll be fine.
Level of fearOn medium and hard it’s genuinely scary; light still keeps you tense with jump scares and atmosphere. Fine for 14+, but for kids 10–12 it may be too heavy—better confirm the mode in advance.
Actors' gameThere are many actors, with vivid, varied roles: the head doctor, patients, a “kind” guide—everyone stays in character and improvises. Contact is adjustable; they play carefully, but if you choose hard it will be denser and more dynamic.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are measured and mostly fair: about attentiveness, matching, searching, and working with props. The quest is nonlinear, so the team can split and parallelize tasks. If you want more, they sometimes offer extra branches.
PlotYou are junior residents at Overbrook psychiatric hospital: conversations with characters and location details gradually reveal the place’s secrets. The story leads to an unexpected turn that leaves you with goosebumps.
Difficulty levelFlexible difficulty: fear and contact are chosen; puzzles are mostly on the easier side of medium and suit even newcomers. Solo tasks and stealth add tension—experienced players will still have room to stretch.

The location is huge and detailed—it feels like a real psychiatric hospital. There’s lots of live interaction with the characters; the actors are believable from the very first seconds. Individual tasks and branching paths add spice, and the contact is close but safe. We genuinely got scared several times, and the ending was shocking.

A very atmospheric, immersive quest: we were greeted in character, and the rules were explained without breaking role. The puzzles are clear, the tactile component is intense yet careful. The actors are a separate delight: watching their interactions and the head doctor’s “debriefings” with us was incredibly engaging. The plot is great, and the finale pulls the rug out from under you.

We went as a group of five and picked medium difficulty. The actors were out of this world, especially the 'chief physician' — we believed every word. The puzzles were logical, but with the adrenaline we had to think faster. The ending surprised us; we're still talking about it.

A perfect balance: the actors draw you in, the interaction is respectful, the plot keeps tightening, and the finale packs an emotional punch. The puzzles aren’t too hard if you put your mind to it, and they don’t break immersion.

The venue is huge and very detailed; some rooms even had hospital-like smells. The scares were fair and well-timed, without going overboard — we asked them to be gentle, and they were. I’ll be back for hard mode!

The escape room was great, but running there feels risky: there are small steps and a tiled floor—I actually tripped once. The actress playing the patient saved the whole evening—her performance was powerful!

On the second visit there were fewer emotions: previously the medium mode felt more fun, and on hard the acting cast had changed and there wasn't enough improvisation. The tactile interactions were stronger rather than more frequent. The location and the new ending are still great; the quest is replayable.

We chose the difficulty level, but our preferences weren’t taken into account; important plot details were never conveyed to us, and the dialogues with the actors didn’t catch fire. On top of that, there was an unpleasant mix-up with the birthday discount. What saved the situation was the strong performance by the actress playing the patient.

We went with teenagers aged 15–16, and everyone was thrilled. I liked that they greet you in character right away and there are lots of interactions—the kids even forgot it was a game. Scary, but safe and very engaging.

We went for the light version: plenty of jump scares, but without contact it wasn’t quite scary enough for me. Otherwise, the location and immersion were excellent. If you want something more intense, I’d recommend choosing medium or hard.

It’s dangerous to run around the venue: small steps and tile make it easy to trip — I ended up bruised. On the bright side, the actress was magnificent and really redeemed the experience.

Special shout-out to the cast: the Doctor, Alicia, Finn, and the “man in bandages” — all distinct and memorable. During the one-on-one I didn’t know what to expect from one second to the next. The administrator is also in character and keeps the bar high.

We felt there weren’t quite enough puzzles, but the team offered extra content—we turned it down, so that’s on us. The atmosphere and the finale are solid; a couple of moments seemed illogical, but overall it’s minor stuff.

From the very start, it immerses you in the story; there’s a lot of stealth, and the sound of scissors keeps you on edge the whole time. Character appearances are unpredictable, and the ending sparked debate even on the way home.

Overall great, but I wanted more puzzles and substance on hard mode. The atmosphere and the actors were fantastic, and the sound gave me goosebumps. A solid four for the emotions.
