About the escape room

What price are you willing to pay for your own curiosity? 40 years ago, top-secret research facility in Czechoslovakia has been launched in order to do a highly controversial experiment. Needless to say, things went wrong fast. The whole Facility has been panically buried underground with everyone still inside. This year, a forgotten secret entrance has been found. But as with the experiment itself, there are doors that should have remained closed…

AI Overview

AIPlayers most often praise the extremely strong atmosphere, great acting, and the technical quality of the effects. The story holds together and the flow is fast, without unnecessary stalls. There aren’t loads of puzzles and they’re more medium difficulty, but well embedded in the action. Most find the experience very scary, though a few teams say they weren’t that frightened.

WeaknessesSome would welcome more or tougher puzzles. The level of fear can be too much for the sensitive, and for a few players lower than expected. If you’re after a mainly intellectual challenge, the experiential side may dominate.

StrengthsSet design, lighting, and sound build a convincing horror world. Performances and the work of the game masters dose out tension and hints beautifully. Overall it feels like a live film where everything clicks.

SecurityBefore the start you get clear instructions and you’re monitored the whole time. The game is more psychological, without dangerous physical elements.

Level of fearThe atmosphere is dark and full of well-timed jump scares, with no physical contact. Not suitable for children or very sensitive players.

Actors' gameThe GM and actors stay in character throughout, respond to the team, and time interactions precisely. Thanks to them, immersion is maximal and still safe.

Quality of riddlesTasks are fair, thematic, and occasionally lightly physical, without unnecessary trickery. There aren’t many, but they match the pace and rising nerves. The tuning of difficulty versus fear is above average.

PlotThe plot revolves around a secret experiment in a socialist-era complex, where you open doors that should have stayed shut. It makes sense and moves things along without needless shortcuts.

Difficulty levelDifficulty aims for the middle, understandable even for less experienced teams, especially in groups of two to four. Seasoned puzzlers may feel it’s more about the experience than the math.
