This room is truly one of a kind! Not much information is provided about it on their website, and I won’t give away any spoilers either. Prior to experiencing this escape room, we hadn’t encountered any scenario like it. It’s incredibly unique and mysterious. Even after watching their lengthy introduction video, it still took us some time to figure out exactly what to do.

The decor was well-executed and had a surprising effect in the third room. The puzzles were challenging but all made sense within the context of the room. They were related to the theme, and while it was a bit less obvious how to solve them, once you figured it out, it wasn’t too complicated. There was a fine variety of puzzle mechanisms.

We didn’t escape the first time we attempted the room, but we had the chance to try it again in another city, and we escaped this time. The time we took to figure out exactly what was going on in this room slowed us down initially. We were happy to succeed the second time, and it was, of course, much easier once you know what to expect. The hints were given via a walkie-talkie, which was fine.

Overall, the room is worth trying! It’s definitely better suited for more experienced escape artists and a group of 4-6 people. It’s not scary, but kids would probably not enjoy this room because the puzzle will likely be too hard. We liked it and managed to escape the second time!
