About the escape room

Just a couple of years ago, a famous surgeon lived in our city. He had saved thousands of lives, but when it came to a loved one, not everything went according to plan. His brother was involved in a horrific accident, after which he was literally pieced together, the chances were slim. He needed several organ transplants, but each time his body rejected them. In search of new donors, the doctor began to use his patients. When this was discovered, he lost his job and his successful career, he had to run away from everything, but he couldn't abandon his brother. Over the next few years, people started disappearing in the city. Rumours suggested that it was the work of the missing doctor, but sometimes rumours can be reality. Because it was indeed that same surgeon, and my name was Alexander Gromov...

AI
Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
Gromov is a powerful, story-driven horror where actors literally lead you by the hand through a maniac’s lair. The setting, optional contact, and unconventional puzzles make the game feel very alive and adrenaline-fueled.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIReviews most often praise the acting and well-crafted atmosphere: full immersion from the moment you walk in—sound, light, details. Fear level is flexible, from light to hard/extra; contact is safe yet tangible. Puzzles are varied and generally logical, but under pressure many find thinking harder, so teams often take hints. The administrator is polite, gives clear instructions; many return or recommend it to friends.
WeaknessesFor the sensitive it can be excessively scary, especially on hard—some teams lowered the mode or didn’t make it to the end. Sometimes you stall on tasks without hints, and some felt there was too much running and contact. Opinions differ on the number of rooms.
StrengthsDeep immersion: sets, sound, and storytelling work as a single mechanism. Actors engage and keep you on edge; many remember standout characters and live interaction. Puzzles are nontrivial, with unusual mechanisms and locks.
SecurityClear briefing before the start; contact and fear levels are chosen. Contact is safe and the process is monitored, but darkness and pace require caution.
Level of fearVery scary even at the base level, but fear modes are adjustable. Fine for teens on light, but the especially sensitive are better off not risking it.
Actors' gameActors are the main driver: the performance is emotional, contact is gentle and by agreement, with lots of live interaction and chases. Memorable characters are often noted, like Zhenya or the 'brother in the mask'.
Quality of riddlesTasks are diverse: mechanics, magnetic solutions, rare types of combination locks. At a normal pace they’re logical, but under fear they feel harder—hints help. They require teamwork and attention to the environment.
PlotThe story of surgeon Alexander Gromov and his obsession with saving his brother carries the plot from start to finish. The delivery is cinematic, with no long lulls and striking scenes.
Difficulty levelMedium difficulty with an emphasis on tension; newcomers are more comfortable on light. Experienced players will enjoy hard/extra, where atmospheric pressure and pace noticeably raise the bar.

The maniac-surgeon theme grabs you from the first minute; it starts off strong, and interacting with the characters brings both laughs and a wild rush of adrenaline. Zhenya accompanied us through almost the entire game, sometimes helping, sometimes nudging us toward questionable choices — it was both scary and fun. The rooms are meticulously built, the puzzles with mechanisms and magnets are delig

The atmosphere is built from details: the set design, sound, and lighting create chills without unnecessary noise. The actors inhabit their roles precisely, the script is well thought out, and the puzzles are varied and fitting. A must-visit for fans of quality horror.

We played as a group of six; everyone received contact, as agreed. The immersion in the story is deep, and the actors maintain a high standard. The puzzles themselves aren’t difficult, but the atmosphere sometimes made our brains switch off. Everyone left happy.

You’re greeted at the door by an attentive administrator who explains everything clearly and to the point. The actors give it their all—the atmosphere was so intense that not all of us even made it to the finale. Enough emotions to last a month; we’ll be back to finish the ending.

Immersion starts right at the entrance: the dim light and sound set the mood right away. The tasks aren't over the top, but when someone is breathing down your neck, your pace drops. By the finale, the adrenaline was off the charts; we came out drained and happy — there was plenty to do saving our own skins from Gromov.

The ambiance is spot on; you immediately believe you're in a surgeon's lair. The actors grab your attention from the very first second; I actually jumped a couple of times. The puzzles are straightforward, but in a stressful setting your brain overheats. I'll come back for the hard mode.

This isn’t just about jump scares: the opening is impressive, and the tasks alternate between logic puzzles, locks, and electronics. It feels more like a tense thriller—with the sense that someone is nearby—than a constant sprint from a maniac. That’s exactly why we came to love it.

Zhenya is a legend—drawing you in, making you laugh, and even scaring you. The set design is cinematic, and the sound goes right through you. It took us a long time to recover after the finale.

The escape room keeps you hooked thanks to its storyline; the tasks are coherent, not difficult, and always on theme. The actors’ unexpected entrances—and the fact there are three of them—add dynamism, and there are enough rooms and lighting to keep you from getting bored. If you’re going for a horror experience, this is the one.

We went with teenagers and chose the light option—got a good scare without it going overboard. The administrator was lovely, and the actors were gentle yet gave us goosebumps. I recommend it for families who enjoy a good thrill.

Great atmosphere, an excellent host, and actors who can both make you laugh and give you the chills. Special shout-out to Zhenya and the guy in the mask — they made the evening. We kept discussing the highlights long after the game.

Huge props for the mechanical gadgets and rare locks—haven't seen anything like that in a long time. Nothing superfluous, everything is to the point, with clean logic. Tons of emotion.

The quest was intense, but for me there was a bit too much running around and physical contact, although we were warned and chose the mode ourselves. The atmosphere and actors are top-notch, and the admin explained everything clearly. Overall, we’re satisfied.
