Obłęd [Asylum]

It’s not a horror room - not sure why it is labeled as horror on some websites. Spooky for sure especially in the beginning but there are no real “active” horror elements. I loved the beginning when some collaboration tasks were especially entertaining for us. The setting in that first parts was very atmospheric. High puzzle density with puzzles where some experience is needed in order to quickly grasp what belongs together. I don’t think beginner teams can solve everything in the given 90min. Towards the end the story disappears and doesn’t really make any sense anymore but that doesn’t really matter as the puzzles stay interesting and diverse. In regard to the puzzles one of my favorite games we played at Exit19 so far (in regard to the story it lacked a bit though).

For an asylum themed horror experience this was pretty dull. At no point did the story develop beyond the initial blurb, no acting and overall felt like a very old school escape room experience.

I have to say the theming at Exit 19 is very impressive and there are so many rooms and puzzles the experience just goes on and on (I love that!) I agree with the other reviews that its definitely a puzzle room(s) and you forget the story easily. I'd also say that we, as a group of 2, found it too hard and definitely would have been better with more players but thankfully our lovely games masters helped us along when needed.

I have to say I was a bit disappointed after reading so many positive reviews. By no means was it a bad experience, but to me it felt more like a puzzle room with an attempted theme rather than a full experience with a coherent story and puzzles. At the beginning, there was an attempt to establish a story. We received one storyline via a message and another from the game master. Unfortunately, as soon as the game started, the story went out the window and was never mentioned againand, the actual game had nothing to do with it. The puzzles were good, very escape roomy, some felt a bit random in the inveroment, but overall well solvable game. While the first part of the room had a nicely themed set, the second half took a rather strange turn. By the end of the game, I had completely forgotten that we were even playing an asylum game. If you’re going to play this room, expect puzzle room in a spooky environment and I think you can have fun there. I should also mention that we played the version without an actor, I can't imagine how an actor would meaningfully fit into this experience.

This is a spooky room, but not technically horror. There is some darkness and a few light jump scares, but nothing too bad. There was a great collaboration puzzles at the beginning, and some pretty cool effects. Two puzzles we had small issues (one was not reset to English and one was a sensor error), and we though the GMs weren’t paying attention. But we then realized the GMs didn’t have microphones in the room, so we had to use the walkie talkie to let them know. Small hiccups, but they didn’t detract from the game. The story was a little unclear to me, but it doesn’t seem clear story lines are big here? All in all, super glad I played it. Now 8 more Exit19 rooms to go!

The beginning of the game made me feel uneasy but the atmosphere was spooky nice. Rooms were nice not too little other things but not too many to make you confused. What I really liked was the fact that every time we opened door we though it's the end but no.

We absolutely loved this game! The roomasters were lovely and kind to us. We also enjoyed the game without an actor, so we could focus on the puzzles and weren’t so scared that we couldn’t think and move. It has very impressive design and atmosphere. Definitely worth trying! ❤️

It was a spooky room where cooperation is necessary almost the entire time. It is a rather big room. Some riddles were not to easy or better harder than medium. The gamemasters were nice.

All in all a really great room. Very atmospheric. Some things should be restored. But still very fun to play.
