WeaknessesAlmost no explicit complaints, but the key-and-code search format may feel repetitive to those who love pure puzzling. Contact and painful elements won’t suit everyone. On higher levels it can be too scary for newcomers.
StrengthsStrong acting and live interaction; some specifically mention Art, Danila, and Victoria by name. The set and music create a cohesive, grim circus world. Emotional swings from terror to laughter hold you to the finale.
SecurityBefore the start, they give clear instructions and ask for your preferred contact level. You can choose a softer option if you don’t want physical interactions.
Level of fearTruly scary, but with a dose of irony, so the stress is easier to handle. Fine for teenagers and adults; small children should choose a softer mode or wait.
Actors' gameActors are top-notch, interact actively, improvise, and skillfully balance fear and humor. On VIP and hard there’s a lot of contact; you can feel they enjoy their roles.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are fair and clear, with an emphasis on finding items and entering codes. Difficulty is medium; at times you’ll have to think. It’s more about action and attentiveness than multi-step logic.
PlotThe legend about a cursed clown performer and a ballerina is presented coherently and without excess. Your task is to unravel the secrets of the abandoned circus and get out alive, no spoilers.
Difficulty levelOn the standard level it works for newcomers; on medium, hard, and VIP there’s more fear and contact. The puzzles are more about attentiveness and search than high logical complexity.
