The BunkerEscape Reality BerwickEscape roomIRLThis room was a disappointment. The few puzzles that are contained were poorly designed and did not have a logical way of solving. One of the puzzles made absolutely no sense. This is not a spoiler because you will need to know to solve this room. The colour of deep ocean is ORANGE!! When questioned at the end, the game master was incapable and not interested in explaining.
Downfall – Spy Mission Escape RoomEscape Room by Midgaard Event - ØsterbroEscape roomIRLThis room owes its success to the close integration of the actor/gamemaster within gameplay. The severe personality of the character the actor plays adds tension, urgency and anxiousness whilst solving puzzles. Despite us having made a booking error, management went out of their way to accommodate us.
Chapter 1: Finders KeepersAnigma Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis is a meticulously designed classic escape room. The owner and our game master is exceptional accomodating, friendly and personable. We really enjoyed the narrative that interweaved all their rooms.
Nautilius i naziści [Underwater Mission: “Nautilius”]Combinator KrakówEscape roomIRLThis was an overall disappointing experience. Whilst the room attempt to create a narrative, the puzzles are poorly designed and implemented. Many elements in this room were broken and whilst room narration was in English, important written instructions were in Polish. We were lucky to have a polish speaker in our group, otherwise it would have been impossible to complete certain puzzles.
Powstanie Warszawskie [Warsaw Uprising]Black Cat Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room is spectacular. From theming, story, atmosphere, puzzles, immersion, aesthetics, everything was fantastic. The game masters are incredible dedicated to the experience. This is not just a brilliant escape room, it is a step back into historical experience of Warsaw.
Katakumby [Catacombs]ZagadkowniaEscape roomIRLThis is a reasonably satisfying experience, but nothing spectacular.
Cela nr 4 [ Cell Number 4 ]Wyjscie AwaryjneEscape roomIRLThis room has potential, but unfortunately puzzle designs is not intuition. At times, it was necessary to make huge leaps of assumptions.
A Nagy Pènzrablàs [Plan Budapest - Bank Robbery]NeverlandEscape roomIRLWe have done numerous heist type escape rooms, this is by far the most realistic. The vault looks and feels exactly what you would think a real bank vault looks like. The puzzles were creative and interesting.
Titkos Metró [Secret Subway]E-Exit Escape Room BudapestEscape roomIRLHaving done over 230 escape rooms, we were delighted to come across this room which contains mostly unique puzzles and events which we have never seen before. The room is packed with fun and engaging puzzles.
Geisterjäger Brandon Darkmoor [Ghosthunter Brandon Darkmoor]The RoomEscape roomIRLThe theming and design of this room was exceptional, however the puzzles and flow wasn’t very satisfying for us. A good portion of the beginning required players to read and follow an instruction manual which was tedious and boring. We were given big, heavy equipment at the start which we were very excited about, but we ended up using it once and very briefly. The owners tried to make this room more immersive by making the meeting and starting point at a mysterious location near a former petrol station. This was a failed attempt at doing so, because it ended up having no effect on the experience; you end up walking through the back door of the venue and through normal looking staircase/hallways to your escape room. The ending was nonsensical, the comedic and farcical nature of it ruined the scary vibe we experienced throughout the entire game.
FrankensteinMiraculumEscape roomIRLWe were excited about this room because it had so much potential. It looks and feels amazing, however, it’s aesthetics is pretty much all it has going for it. Unfortunately there is an excessive amount and search and find which is not our preferred gameplay. It became apparent our game master was unaware how to play the game. The clue provided was irrelevant. At one point we had to be told the solution to one puzzle and when we finished the game, the game master was not only unable to explain the puzzle, but didn’t even know how to arrive at that solution.
Παρεκκλήσι & Κατακόμβες [Chapel & Catacombs]Lockhill - Nea IoniaEscape roomIRLThis room is absolutely incredible. The realism was sensational and the immersion made us feel like we were living the story. Unlike in normal escape rooms in which you solve puzzles and move on, the clever integration of the puzzles within this room enhanced the realism of gameplay. It made it feel like we were on a real life adventure with spontaneous, unpredictable tasks to complete and events to confront. The implementation of live actors in this room is done extraordinarily well. Not only were they there to provide theatrics and jump scares, they are part of the game. It was a high stakes game of us against them, complete your mission or be killed. Because of its adventure style, the gameplay is dynamic and the actors responded differently depending on players’ actions. This made the game even more realistic. Be prepared to sweat and have an amazing and adrenaline pumping experience.

Το Σανατόριο [The Sanatorium]Lockhill - MetaxourghioEscape roomIRLThere are three different modes of gameplay you can choose: Day: maximum puzzles, no actors, 90 mins Night: less/simpler puzzles, with live actors, 90 mins (same cost as day) Midnight: maximum puzzles, with live actors, 150 mins (additional cost) As we were already playing other horror games with actors in other rooms, we chose day mode to focus on puzzles, rather than another actor horror room experience. Even without live actors, this was a phenomenal room. The narrow claustrophobic hallways, disorienting layout, plenty of hidden nooks and outstanding theming made this a terrifying and thrilling experience. We were on edge the entire time even though we knew we would not encounter anyone.
Το Μαγαζί Βουντού [The Voodoo Shop]Lockhill - MetaxourghioEscape roomIRLFrom the very beginning, this was a highly immersive venue with an excellent game master. Plot integration between all the rooms is a very nice touch. We enjoyed the hands on puzzles which added a unique aspect of gameplay.

Anatomia Zbrodni 2 [Anatomy Of The Crime 2]GamescapeEscape roomIRLThis was a classic escape room with electronic and physical locks. The experience was pleasant, although unremarkable.
Serce OzyrysaEscape KrakówEscape roomIRLPhysical mobility is definitely required in this room. The designers of this room made excellent use of every conceivable space. At times, automatic verbal instructions were excessive and on one occasion incomprehensible.
Stary Sklep Z Zabawkami [The Old Toy Store]Sic Mundus - Escape Room KrakówEscape roomIRLThis is a well built room with several engaging spaces. The puzzles were suitable for the theme. Some puzzles required a few logical leaps, however, ultimately they were solvable.
Dystopia Escape GameDystopia Escape GameEscape roomIRLThis was a fantastic room jam packed with puzzles. Which are very high tech and very well implemented. Creative use of space in a former munitions storage bunker. At least one should expect a moderate level of physical ability.
