About the escape room

The private shelter "Blackwood" was founded by a couple named Lewis. The building was initially special, as it used to be a psychiatric hospital in the pre-war period, and a military hospital a little later. In 1973, the compassionate family bought this building, and it became a shelter. However, it only managed to last for 5 years. A terrible fire occurred in July 1978. No one managed to survive, including Margaret Lewis and her husband John. The body of their 14-year-old daughter Olivia was never found. The cause of the fire remained unknown. After some time, the case was closed due to the statute of limitations. At the moment, the building, due to the lack of heirs, has reverted to the state, but is still in disrepair and empty. The smell of burning, toys in burnt cupboards, yet once this place was filled with children's laughter. Locals insist that sometimes they see light in the windows of this building or even a child's silhouette. Our tour company will hold a short tour for you for a nominal fee. Look closely, listen and tread carefully!

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the actors and ambience: dark corridors, sound, light, and detailed sets really pull you into the story. The quest often starts right on the street and keeps momentum thanks to nonlinearity, personal tasks, and a 'voice on the phone'. The fear level is flexible: choose contact mode or softer — so both adults and kids on birthdays go. Rare downsides: cold indoors in winter, slippery steps and a hard-to-spot entrance, plus wishes for a clearer finale or more time.

WeaknessesComplaints: it can be chilly, a slippery staircase at the entrance and a not-immediately-noticeable sign. A couple of times people noted a rushed finale or wanted more physical interaction and time. Isolated cases — unhappy with post-game service or safety notes.

StrengthsVery strong acting and live interaction with each participant. Set design and sound with light create a dense, cinematic atmosphere; the location is large and varied. Cool touches — the phone, personal tasks, a nonlinear route.

SecurityRules are explained before the start and tactile contact is agreed; actors play gently. But note possible cold and icy steps in winter — comfortable shoes and warmer clothes help.

Level of fearTruly scary, especially with contact: jump scares, darkness, and 'child' characters. For teenagers it’s fine on a light mode, but the very impressionable should choose the fear level carefully.

Actors' gameThe actors are the main star of the quest: move eerily, never break character, and subtly adapt to the team. An additional actor works great for many and boosts dynamics and immersion.

Quality of riddlesPuzzles are mostly medium difficulty, logical and thematic; often woven into the plot and supported by mechanics. Lots of automation and interesting ideas, but sometimes tasks boil down to finding keys — some ask for more 'smart locks'. Hints are given delicately via voice or phone, without breaking the atmosphere.

PlotA story about a burned-down orphanage and a missing girl is presented as an 'excursion', with fragments of the past through light, sound, and the phone. Nonlinearity and personal tasks hold attention; the finale leaves a lingering aftertaste.

Difficulty levelFor puzzles — a comfortable medium level; newcomers will enjoy it, experienced players will value the atmosphere and performance. For fear — from moderate to high, depending on the chosen mode.

The quest is great, but in cool weather it’s chilly inside, and the stairs at the entrance are slippery. Otherwise, the location is awesome, the actors crush it, and the phone feature is excellent. Tip: make the sign brighter and put salt on the steps in winter.

The game starts even before you step inside: the host set the mood in advance, and inside there’s a rich, immersive atmosphere with thoughtfully crafted lighting and sound. A storyline with unconventional twists, and actors who are engaging to both talk with and play along with. We left delighted, with a slight tremble in our knees.

The escape room is solid: the set design is polished down to the last detail, most puzzles are automated and don’t repeat, and the scare moments are very creepy with excellent sound. The extra actor is 100% worth it.

A bad experience from the start: we were led down an icy staircase; in a dark room someone hit a metal corner. The celebration was ruined. Safety must come first—please fix the entrance and the lighting.

There were two of us. We liked the immersion and the considerate tactile interactions, but we have some suggestions: some corridor sections are slippery; in one area it would help to add soft flooring; and some tasks could be replaced with automatic locks. The finale could use some polishing. Overall, the escape room is great and the team is responsive.

At the children’s birthday party it was truly cold; the staircase was icy, and people sat in their jackets in the tea room. The scare level for 12+ also seemed excessive. The organizers should pay closer attention to the temperature and the entrance area. We were disappointed.

It was a powerful horror: the atmosphere is oppressive, the actors are absolutely convincing, and the 'voice from the past' and the telephone are a bullseye. The puzzles are woven into the story and don't disrupt the pacing. We'd love to do it again.

We celebrated a 12th birthday and chose the light mode without heavy physical contact. The kids squealed and laughed; hints were given over the phone and were on point, and everyone stayed engaged. Safe, well-organized, and very atmospheric. Thanks to the administrator for the attention to detail.

I'd like more complex puzzles and less running around; the ending felt abrupt. But the cast is phenomenal, the sound design has just the right punch, and a couple of times I literally got chills. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Started "Priyut" in contact mode and quickly realized it’s genuinely scary. Henry is brought to life vividly and atmospherically, and Olivia is sweet until you touch the toys. A separate nerve‑wracker is the ringing phone and going alone one at a time. We got so carried away that we then booked another quest on a promo.

We’re seasoned escape-room fans: we loved the nonlinearity, the lighting design, and how the actors lead you through the story. The extra actor is a must — a 200% emotion amplifier. The puzzles are average, but the immersion is top-notch.

I liked that the quest starts out on the street and then guides you with light and sound, as if walking through the orphanage’s memories. The actors are top-notch—at times it felt like I was in a movie. Thanks for the evening and the extra shot of adrenaline.

Came for the atmosphere and weren’t disappointed: from the moment we walked in, they pulled us into the story; then the phone, rustles, lights—goosebumps non-stop. The actors are on fire, not a moment’s peace in my head. Out of fear we stalled on a simple puzzle, and it was hilarious. We’ll be back with the extra actor.

You rarely come across a performance like this: the actors’ entrances are unconventional, and sometimes you genuinely can’t tell where they disappeared to. The venue is spacious; we opted for a no-touch mode—and it worked great for the mystique. Highly recommend.

We went in the spring. The atmosphere is great, the puzzles aren’t difficult but they keep you on your toes. There is tactile contact, but exactly as much as feels right. The phone idea hits right in the heart.
