Secret Subway is our newest and most difficult room, this is why we decided to make it 75 minutes long. The atmosphere of the room is reminiscent of Jules Verne, it is a true steampunk room that was created based on a true story with a twist. You enter the world of an inventor who would deserve all the glory but was sadly forgotten about – you will also realise this as you turn on their fantastic inventions! You final goal is to find the name of the inventor and escape from the trap they set up! As you may be accustomed to at E-Exit, this escape room is also full of surprising twists and turns and effects you wouldn’t even think of. We tried our best to create a room that provides maximum challenge and experience, and based on our players’ feedback, we succeeded! Of course, the final moments of the room are absolutely unique as well. Secret Subway is especially recommended to experienced players and enthusiasts; beginners should choose one of our easier rooms first! The room is recommended for bigger teams.

Possibly one of my favourite ever rooms (23 at time of review) the story is immersive, the set is incredibly well put together and I would say this is a must do in budapest for escape roomers. If you are used to UK difficulties, i would aim to get out in 60 minutes and call it hard difficulty, at 75 minutes I think the safety blanket of time is generous, we nearly got out with 30 minutes spare as a 2. But I suppose it makes the room more accessible to all levels of experience which is only a good thing! IMPORTANT: venue is cash only however, you can buy gift cards online. Buy them online before your room to avoid ATM fees if you don't have the HUF to hand already and need to pay by card. Don't let the cash only stop you doing the room!
10/10 atmosphere much better than the real NYC subway anyday ;D

Medium
Medium in 75 minutes, hard if you're up to challenge yourself I recommend you shoot for a sub 60 time and then it is probably hard difficulty. It's achievable.

The staff is very friendly. The room was more task oriented than puzzle oriented. Ending was fun.

Secret Subway in Budapest is highly regarded, and it certainly lives up to its reputation, as well in Gamedesign, but also in difficulty. The experience was immersive, with multiple rooms and an impressive number of puzzles. Despite being exhausting when attempted by just two players, the story remained engaging. The room had a vibrant atmosphere and included a special game element that adds to the uniqueness, though it’s best left unspoiled. However, the initial room felt abit cramped, raising doubts about accommodating three to four players comfortably. The puzzles were very challenging, making it unsuitable for beginners. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and allowed for full immersion into the story. One puzzle was unclear in its execution and could have been better designed, but this was with the help of the gamemaster a minor issue. Despite the difficulty, the room provided a rewarding and fun challenge.

I liked the story of this experience, it is something I have never done before. The story was well thought out with twists and turns throughout. Some puzzle witnessed here which I have not came across before and were very enjoyable. We are English and had no problem understanding the game as the GM spoke in English and all of the puzzles were easy to understand. The overall achievement at the end of the game was worth all of the hard work. The way to exit the room was also equally as fun!
This has to be some of the best set and props I have ever encountered in a room.
Yes
A good story line which I have not came across before.

There was only one padlock throughout the room. All others were mechanical and we only had 1 malfunction during the whole room.
