In captivity at Bastinda's

We celebrated our daughter’s birthday—the kids were squealing with delight. Parents watched on the monitor; the banquet area was beautifully decorated, and while we waited we battled it out at foosball. The live Toto was a special favorite—the kids genuinely empathized with him. The youngest, a 6‑year‑old, was helped by Ellie, and then the Scarecrow organized a soccer game and a disco.

We celebrated with girls aged 9–12. They were shy at first, but the performers quickly helped them loosen up—Bastinda was wonderful. The quest was intriguing and at times a bit spooky, and afterwards the Scarecrow even played some soccer with the kids. A great party!

Thank you for the coziness and attention to detail: it’s clean, comfortable, and the football and mini exhibition of props kept the kids occupied before the start. However, parents weren’t allowed to watch the session even on a monitor; we’d like to have that option. Also, the banner outside is hard to read—it could use some improvement. Otherwise, the location is excellent.

We celebrated an 8th birthday, group of 6–10. Really liked the quest and the live Totoshka; while we were getting ready, the kids played table football, and afterward they turned on music and gave us space to dance. Large table, everything neat, staff in masks with sanitizer, they keep an eye on cleanliness. We also took an extra hour for the banquet — a convenient format.

The 9-year-old girls were thrilled: it was fun, the challenges were age-appropriate, and at times just a little bit scary. The only downside was that the kids figured out who was playing Bastinda just from the voice. The tea room was a hit too—everything is in plain sight and convenient.

The 11-year-olds' birthday party went great: after the quest we had a snack in a spacious room, played soccer, and danced. A real dog stole the show, and Bastinda was striking—scary in just the right measure. I recommend it for kids 9 and up.

The game is perfectly adapted to the age group; we had kids aged 7 to 10—everyone had something to do. It’s a little scary, but they gently calm the children down—thanks to the actors!

The birthday party turned out great! The kids loved the live Totoshka, Bastinda was striking, and Ellie guided everyone very tactfully. After the quest, there was tea, foosball, and a mini-disco — an absolute hit!

Our son’s 10th birthday was a blast. We thought it would be kiddie stuff, but no — at times it was even thrilling; we rescued Toto as one team. Before and after we played soccer and Twister, the big table really came in handy, and time flew by.

My son was very frightened in the dark and asked to leave, but they didn’t let him out, which I’m very worried about. Later over the phone they said he hadn’t asked and that “no one touches them there,” but I believe my child. Please be more attentive to such situations.

The quest itself is great, no complaints. The only thing is that after the game we’d like more time for tea and the disco—this matters to kids nowadays. It would be great if you offered an extended post-program for an extra fee. The kids were thrilled with the game itself!

We enjoyed it, but the host sometimes gave hints too early; because of that we finished in 45 minutes and would have liked more time to think for ourselves. The atmosphere and lighting were great, and the dog is adorable.

The plot was excellent, the girls were squealing with joy, but the restroom wasn't spotless and petting the dog wasn't allowed, which upset the birthday girl. Otherwise, the party was a success.

Ellie was giving hints almost right away, so the kids didn’t have time to think things through. The game lasted about forty minutes; everyone was surprised it was already the end. We’d prefer fewer hints and a bit more time.

Convenient location, an attentive administrator, and very interactive characters. The group then spent another half hour sharing impressions over tea—highly recommended!
