About the escape room

You are a team of investigators who have been dispatched to the abandoned psychiatric hospital "Lighthouse" to solve the mystery of Detective Sebastian Castellanos' disappearance. The last signal from his radio was recorded here a few days ago. From your first step, it becomes clear - this is an unusual place. The space seems to have a life of its own: the walls change shape, time freezes, and the mind seems to crack at the seams. Your fears come to life. You are stuck in someone else's mind - in a world created by the madness of a man named Ruben. This world feeds on pain, fear, and suffering, and only those who do not lose their connection with reality... and with themselves will be able to escape from here.

Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
Go for the powerful atmosphere of an abandoned asylum and knockout performances that keep you on edge to the finale. Scary, beautiful, with thoughtful details and puzzles in moderation.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost guests rave about the setting, lights and sound, makeup and costumes, and how actors share attention among players and tune contact to wishes. Puzzles are moderately hard and logical, never breaking the flow. Warm reception at the front desk and chats after the game. On the minus side: complaints about dust and one serious gripe about safety and contact exceeding the stated medium; the project has been noticeably refined and improved since opening.
WeaknessesSome guests complain about dust and overall grubbiness. There was a serious safety claim: sharp edges and no tissues/peroxide, plus contact too rough on medium. These points spoil the impression, though overall the service is praised.
StrengthsActing is a strong suit: bold entrances, controlled physical contact, lively interaction. The hospital vibe and location design, lighting and music immerse you from the first step. Jumpscares are sharp and effective, costumes and makeup look premium.
SecurityBefore the start they go over rules, issue costumes, and you can discuss the contact level. Still, there were complaints about dust, sharp spots, and lack of a basic first-aid kit/tissues, so better wear clothes you don’t mind and set boundaries in advance.
Level of fearGenuinely scary: frequent jumpscares, tension, and a dense performance. Not for kids or the faint-hearted; perfect for horror fans.
Actors' gameActors carry the show, know how to scare yet listen to contact requests, and work evenly with the whole team. One review complains about a rough medium, but overall the tactile is described as careful and appropriate.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are “just enough”: clear, without pointless muddle, solved on the go and keep the pace. There’s variety, but the quest leans on performance and atmosphere more than riddles. Comfortable for newcomers, not boring for the experienced.
PlotThe investigation story in “The Lighthouse” reads cleanly from start to finish with no lulls. The madman’s world and shifting space build tension and a finale that lands, without spoilers.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty: puzzles are solvable, but emotions and performance add heat. On hard the contact is heavy; for first-timers, medium or softer is better.

We arrived wary, but from the very first minutes the game had us against the wall: the actors make striking entrances, the sets are dusty, but we were warned and given costumes. You genuinely feel like you’re in an abandoned psychiatric hospital; the lighting and music ratchet up the panic to the point you want to hide under a table. Physical contact is careful and considerate; they honored our re

Our group of seven left disappointed: it was dirty, our hands got black, and the suits didn’t help. On the medium setting we were taking hard hits, even though they’d promised light contact. I cut myself on a sharp edge and asked for hydrogen peroxide—there wasn’t any. They need to sort out safety.

We were there at launch: back then the escape room was rough, and we left a bunch of suggestions. After some time we returned and saw a completely different level — the locations were finished, the story tightened up, and the actors gave us goosebumps. The puzzles are interesting, and the jump scares and performance are powerful. Now it's a solid recommendation.

The asylum atmosphere is captured perfectly; the sound and lighting at times just pin you to the floor. The actors are excellent; they gave attention to each of the four of us. It was scary and deliciously intense emotionally, and the finale finished us off. I'll be back to try a different mode.

Four from our team were thrilled: scary, with some unique features here and there. The hospital atmosphere really works; the reception area is spacious and has tea and coffee. After the game we chatted with the actors—very polite folks. A solid 12 out of 10; we'll be back.

There were four of us; the host explained everything clearly and helped us stay oriented along the way. The actors were fantastic, and the story pulled us in completely — I’d do it again if I didn’t already remember the ending. I recommend it to friends without hesitation.

We went for the hard mode—physical contact is tangible but handled carefully, and the team clearly respects boundaries. Costumes and makeup are top-notch, and a few actor entrances gave me goosebumps. Recommended for anyone who loves an adrenaline rush.

We went as a duo and chose hard mode—scary to the point of trembling; the actors are flawless. The puzzles are tuned just right so they don’t stall the action. Costumes, music, and props—everything is polished to perfection. Highly recommend.

Spacious venue; there were five of us, and everyone got enough attention and interaction. The welcome was warm, and after the game we calmly discussed the contentious moments over tea. A great option for a team outing.

The story is engaging, the characters are well-written; it was both scary and intriguing. The actors keep you on edge; tactile interactions are flexible and opt-in—huge thanks for that. The location is big and has a genuine abandoned vibe. Great job.

Our team of five; the location is spacious, and the hospital atmosphere felt authentic. The administrator explained the rules in detail and escorted us. The actors were so immersed in their roles that I forgot where I was. Really enjoyed it—highly recommend to everyone.

The medium felt a bit too harsh at a couple of moments; we asked to tone it down and they responded promptly. The atmosphere and the actors’ performances were great, but I’d have preferred less dust. Mixed impressions overall, though I liked it more than not.

There were six of us, and for the first time everyone got their own time and interaction. The actors’ entrances are spectacular, the jump scares come from where you least expect them, and they took all our requests into account. We were greeted and sent off very warmly. A must for a group.

There’s a storyline and it doesn’t get lost; the puzzles are logical, and we kept up a good solving pace. A bit dusty, but tolerable. Overall we had a blast—the music ties the scenes together beautifully.

The quest was good: the jump scares are punchy, with great actor appearances and music. Overall we’re satisfied, though not euphoric — a solid four.
