WeaknessesSome guests complain about dust and stuffiness, and at times it’s dark to the point of discomfort. Puzzles can feel few and samey, with grievances about “code locks.” A few reviews note a painfully strong stun device, excess contact, and a blurred finale.
StrengthsStrong acting with improvisation and engagement, a sense of real threat and adrenaline. Set, sound, and lighting build the mood; the chainsaw is a powerful accent. Flexible fear/contact levels, attentive hosting.
SecurityThere’s a briefing before the start; contact modes and stun devices are opt‑in, and you can dial it down mid‑game. That said, there are complaints about dust, stuffiness, and occasional small scratches/bruises — the contact format is felt.
Level of fearVery scary; on hard it can be painful in places — definitely not for kids or the faint‑hearted. There’s a no‑contact light mode, but even that felt creepy to many.
Actors' gameThe actors are the main hook: Vadim, Kristina, Alexander, Nikita and others are often named, with thanks in almost every review. Lots of interaction and improv, from dialogue to ‘taking’ players; intensity is tuned on request.
Quality of riddlesIn quality — fair and logical, mostly about observation and searching, with code locks; some teams progress with hints. Variety is average: seasoned questers may feel there aren’t many tasks. But the tie‑in between puzzles and story worked for many.
PlotA straightforward, linear story about a maniac in a Soviet‑era house moves the team through several zones. The narrative unfolds through actor interaction and the environment, at times almost cinematic.
Difficulty levelPuzzle‑wise — medium, but stress and darkness push the challenge up. Newcomers are better off with light/middle; veterans will enjoy medium+/hard.
