About the escape room

The end of the 60s. The school-orphanage, located in one of the numerous cities of the now former USSR, is being liquidated. All the children there are finally supposed to find new families. It seems as though everything is good and nothing dreadful lurks here. But have you really examined everything carefully? Perhaps, something has slipped your notice. Step onto the threshold of the shelter. Study it. Become a part. And, perhaps, you will discover something that will make your heart beat faster, and your breath treacherously falter. Quiet... Can you hear it?

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often they praise the atmosphere: USSR-era sets, sound, lighting, and full immersion from the first minute. The actors are singled out: the ‘girl’ with voice changes and acrobatics scares unexpectedly yet helps move the plot along. Puzzles are generally logical and medium difficulty, but under fear they feel harder, many take hints. Repeat visits and teen birthdays are common, though there are complaints about excessive hints and occasional oversteps with contact.
WeaknessesSometimes people complain about hints being too frequent, as if led by the hand. Rarely, they note plot holes and a sense of a small location. There was a single complaint about rough contact — better to discuss boundaries in advance.
StrengthsStrong atmosphere and cohesive staging: sound, light, and décor all serve the story. The acting is lively, flexible, and on point; administrators are attentive and gently guide you through the game. There are no-contact and light modes for teenagers, convenient for a first horror.
SecurityBefore the start they give clear instructions; over the radio they help and can soften the fear mode or stop the game. Overall careful and client-oriented, but there was a single negative about excessive contact — it’s useful to agree on acceptable touching in advance.
Level of fearScary and at times very loud, with jump scares and tension; on light mode most teens 13–16 manage, but the especially timid may struggle. For the sensitive, it’s better to choose the no-contact mode — safer and calmer.
Actors' gameThe actresses are praised for flexibility, sudden appearances, and a chilling voice that keeps you on edge even in silence. The level of interaction is adjustable: from no-contact to contact, where individual tasks are possible.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are mostly logical and on-theme, without absurdity, sometimes requiring attention to small details. In the dark and under the pressure of the atmosphere they feel harder, so radio hints come in handy. Rare reviews note the non-obviousness of some steps without help.
PlotThe story of an abandoned late-60s orphanage unfolds as you progress and comes together in the finale, leaving an aftertaste of sad mysticism. It works for most, though some players felt it lacked cohesion.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty: newcomers do fine with hints, experienced players enjoy the performance more than hardcore puzzles. Under fear, even simple tasks take longer.

Overall I liked it, but they overdid the physical contact: rough handling, a rope around the neck, and a couple of bruises afterwards. Lots of emotions, the actress is strong, but it’s better to discuss boundaries in advance to avoid injuries.

Top-notch service: quick booking, clear briefing, and they helped over the radio when we got stuck. At one point we asked the actor to go easier on us—they switched the mode and we calmly finished the puzzles. Great, flexible approach.

It was our first scary quest with a live actor, and it really delivered. The actress gave a powerful performance; the atmosphere gave us goosebumps. The puzzles themselves aren’t difficult, but in the dim light and under pressure they’re much harder to solve. Overall, really great.

From the moment you step in, it feels like a cozy haven; the admin eases you into the experience. The actors are great, and the short dialogues chill more than the jump scares. For fans of mysticism, it’s a must—we’re looking forward to their new location.

We went as a family and chose the contactless mode. Scary but not traumatizing: the kids were absorbed in the story, and I was captivated by the sets and sound. A perfect option for a first time.

We went to 'Priyut' and spent the rest of the evening recovering. You have an hour to get out; we made it in 49 minutes, though fear had us freezing up quite a bit. The actress keeps you on edge even with just her invisible presence—rustles, knocks, a voice at the most unexpected moments. Highly recommend; you won’t leave indifferent.

The delivery of hints was disappointing: we were practically led by the hand and rushed, which killed the feeling of independent discovery. We could barely feel any storyline, and the locations had already been put back in order before we even returned. The actors’ performances are excellent, but because of the pacing, there was less enjoyment than there could have been.

We liked the quest, but there were a bit too many hints—we wanted to wrestle with the ciphers ourselves for longer. Otherwise, the atmosphere and actors are fantastic, and the tinge of fear lingers right up to the finale.

We completed almost all the quests in the city and saved 'The Shelter' for last—and for good reason. The location is a bit old, but that only adds to the atmosphere; the music and puzzles are well balanced. The actress is a professional, and the finale beautifully puts the dots on the i's.

A good option for those who are afraid of horror: we did it as a group of five and, to my taste, it wasn't all that scary. Beginners will enjoy it; we often got stuck and used hints, but the engagement held until the end. I recommend it to start with.

Great, but a very scary experience for beginners. We brought a 14-year-old — it was a bit much for her, even though we were warned in advance. Emotions were off the charts; the ambience and music work one hundred percent.

It didn’t have us shaking, but we did jump a couple of times. The puzzles are logically connected; we often asked for hints and didn’t hesitate. The admin and actors gently guided us, and in the end there were more than enough thrills.

Very atmospheric and creepy; the actress’s laugh is a standout feature. The story is clear and interesting, and the puzzles aren’t the usual banal ones. The staff were polite; we left happy and on an adrenaline high.

The atmosphere gets under your skin the moment you walk in, and the actress playing a little girl works wonders—she appears out of nowhere, her voice icy. We chose the teen-friendly light mode, but there were plenty of screams. A great first horror experience; we’ll be back for a scarier mode.

The puzzles are on point and without unnecessary esoterica, but with friends screaming and in the semi-dark my brain refused to think. The sounds and lighting really wear you down, and the finale is logical. I recommend it to those who like it scary and smart at the same time.
