About the escape room

As history students, you have arrived in Spain for your summer practicum. Not far from your camp is the ancient Santa Cruz la Rial monastery. The monastery is famed for one of its disciples who later attained the title of the Grand Inquisitor of Spain - a fervent exterminator of heretics. History tells that the main reason for this young man's transformation into a bloodthirsty executioner was the mysterious disappearance of his biological father within the walls of this monastery. Several centuries have already passed since then, but no one ever found out what exactly happened. Locals still avoid this place to this day. However, this story intrigued you so much that no warnings could stop you, and you set out to explore the ruins.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost often they praise the actors and the tight interaction — everyone gets attention, with lots of improvisation. Puzzles are seen as logical and varied in difficulty; newcomers get gentle hints. A key feature is multiple branches and endings, which makes you want to come back. On the downside, people mention technical glitches and a somewhat tired set in places, and some either lack fear or, conversely, find the contact too rough.
WeaknessesSometimes people complain about overly harsh physical contact and shouting in your ear. There are occasional issues with mechanisms and decor; a few groups found it “not scary.” There have been cases where actors dropped character too soon after the finale.
StrengthsStrong acting and a good balance of fear and humor. Branching plot and atmospheric delivery, music and lighting. Hints without spoilers, warm‑hearted staff.
SecurityYou get a briefing before the start, you can choose a mode and contact boundaries; ask to clarify what’s okay for you and what isn’t. Dress comfortably and not fancy: crawling, hauling, and shrieking are totally normal here.
Level of fearFear level ranges from moderate to very high, depending on the chosen mode and your group. Teens 12–14 manage, but sensitive players should ask for a “light” mode and set contact boundaries in advance.
Actors' gamePeople call the actors “bomb”: they keep the pace, adapt to players, improvise, and give everyone attention. Lots of contact, from soft to hard, as agreed.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are generally logical, from medium to above‑average difficulty; solving under pressure is scary and it works. Fewer “sets of combination locks,” more tasks tied to the story, but there were reports of broken mechanisms. Hints come in notes and from the host, without outright giving the answer.
PlotA story about a monastery’s secret and an inquisitor, with choices that change the course of events and the ending. Nonlinearity is a key feature; reading the notes helps.
Difficulty levelDifficulty is medium: experienced players won’t be bored, beginners get enough hints. Teams sometimes run out of time if they scare easily or stall.

A strong escape room across the board: choices genuinely change the story, the actor delivers just the right kind of fear, and the host sets up the lore brilliantly. The sets and costumes are tasteful, the reception area is cozy. There’s even an Easter egg for attentive players.

The idea and atmosphere could have worked, but the physical contact was rough at times: shouting in the ear, sharp shoves, being dragged across the floor — it’s more irritating than scary. It felt like the props weren’t always prepared; items would “magically” appear only after darkness. The most upsetting part was that the actors dropped their characters right after the finale, right in front of

Despite having done 7–8 horror escape rooms, this turned out to be the least scary experience. Several puzzles broke or opened by themselves, the set design occasionally broke the period immersion, and you could hear the actors whispering behind the door about when to enter — the atmosphere dissipated. They overused lighting, the ending fell flat, and the staff were even discussing work matters ne

Overall, really good: the physical contact is intense, and the puzzles and acting are a solid eight out of ten. But it was stuffy, as if the ventilation wasn’t coping, so dress light. The contact format is justified, but make sure to agree on boundaries in advance.

The three of us played for a birthday, and although we’ve tried plenty of horror experiences, this one still managed to surprise us. The actor gave everyone equal attention; the puzzles were of medium difficulty, but the fear kept getting in the way of thinking. I liked that there are 'good' and 'bad' branches, and the administrator was a gem. Highly recommend.

It was thrilling to the point of trembling. What stuck with me most was how they made me scream myself hoarse, and that the quest has three different paths—one of which is hard to even find. The actors skillfully drew out the right emotions, and the puzzles struck a fine balance between interest and difficulty. Huge thanks to the team; I’ll definitely be back.

We’re seasoned, but this one really shook us. Great balance of performance and puzzles, lighting and sound work as they should, and the branching storylines make you want to come back. Props to the team.

We picked the tougher mode, and it was a blast: the Inquisitor didn’t let up for a minute, and the branching storyline was fire. The puzzles were fair and on-theme, and the host guided us with a light touch. Go and pray—otherwise the choice will be made for you.

We enjoyed the quest—it delivered just the right thrills. However, please clearly ask about the level of physical contact before the start: not everyone is okay with being grabbed hard or pushed. Otherwise, solid.

We explored the Inquisition’s dungeons and even changed our minds about the characters a couple of times. Loved the branching story, logical puzzles, and the actors’ work in sync with the music and lighting. An atmospheric, scary, beautiful quest — the girls are still shaking.

Our first horror performance, and it was spot-on. The actors are excellent, the puzzles require teamwork, and the sound and lighting keep you on edge until the very end. A great way to shake up the daily grind.

We celebrated the teens’ birthday and asked for lighter contact—they accommodated. It was scary but fun, the puzzles were a hit, and the finale clicked into place with an unexpected twist. The kids are still talking about it.

I expected more scares; I mostly found it funny. The decor is budget in places, but the actor tried hard and interacted a lot. I think it will appeal more to newcomers.

I enjoyed the escape room: atmospheric and fast-paced. A couple of mechanisms felt a bit worn, and in places it was a bit too lock-and-key, but overall it was logical and exciting. The actors really draw you in emotionally.

We’re seasoned visitors, but this one really surprised us. Emotions off the charts—especially if you don’t show mercy at the right moment, you’ll get a very vivid scene. Bravo to the actors; we haven’t screamed like that in a long time.
