Hide N Seek

Hide N Seek by Brainiac Escape Rooms was the 3rd and last room of Day 4 and the 11th game of our Athens Escape Tour 2026, played with the same team of five. This game was the peak of adrenaline for the whole day. From start to finish it felt like a non-stop rush, clearly inspired by the Halloween franchise, with strong nods to the atmosphere surrounding Michael Myers. The title says it all, constantly keeping you alert and moving. The sound effects, lighting, and environment work together beautifully to bring you deep into that film world. The story also adds its own twist to the classic Halloween concept, which works very well within the experience and helps give the game its own identity. At one point the intensity actually gave me a slight headache from the adrenaline, though in a good way, similar to the feeling after riding many roller coasters one after another. This is definitely not a game for everyone, but for players who love thrills, tension, and being genuinely scared, you are absolutely in for a treat.

Hide n Seek spielt in einer sehr authentischen Krankenhauskulisse, wie man sie eher aus den Niederlanden erwarten würde. Vielleicht ist dies genau der Punkt, den das Spiel für die Griechen so besonders macht, denn ansonsten fand ich das Spiel eher durchschnittlich gut. Vielleicht waren meine Erwartungen aber auch einfach anders oder durch den Hype zu hoch 🤷🏼‍♀️ Die Rätsellogik war für uns nicht immer ersichtlich, selbst mit Hinweisen vom GM. Die Anspannung sank leider schnell herab, da man das Prinzip schnell durchschaut und sich nicht mehr gruselt. Für ein Hide n Seek Konzept gab es außerdem nur sehr wenige Versteckmöglichkeiten. Die Schauspieler, die immer wieder kleine Szenen spielen, um die Geschichte voran zu treiben, machen ihre Sache aber richtig gut und besonders der Einstieg und das Finale hat mir sehr gut gefallen.

Very good, the spaces and props are so realistic and Michael Myers is true to the movie character. Didn't like the opening segment it was a bit uncomfortable, but the rest of the room is great

One of the most exhilarating rooms I have done. It had my adrenaline pumping for the majority of the experience. The ending was truly one of a kind and unlike anything I have seen before. If you love horror then this is the room for you.

I greatly appreciate the take on a Michael Myers inspired story. This became one of the standouts in Athens for story telling. An example of how to immerse guests into a story without making us read it. A very impactful finale that told us exactly how our story ended and in a very successful and showy way!

This was the scariest experience I’ve ever had! Very unpredictable at times. Visibility was hard sometimes, but seemed appropriate in some spots. This felt more like an “experience” rather than an escape room, and the puzzles were awkward at times, but still fun once we got there. The actors were amazing and I felt completely immersed the whole time. The ending is seriously 1 of a kind! Would definitely recommend!!! This room deserves its spot on TERPECA

Viele Spiele mit unglaublicher Kulisse haben Schwächen in der Story. Aber nicht Hide n Seek. Endlich einmal eine authentische Geschichte, die trotz Twists in jedem Moment absolut logisch und nachvollziehbar war. Wir kamen mit sehr hohen Erwartungen und diese wurden trotzdem noch übertroffen. Der Hype ist völlig gerechtfertigt und die vielen Worte des Lobes sind hochverdient.

Overhyped... A few illogical puzzles... Great scenes & cinematics but this was the only good part of the game

8/10 I do not understand the hype around this room nor it’s high ranking on TERPECA’s top 100. I’m giving this room an 8 simply for the outrageous production, lighting, effects, and sound design. As the name entailed, you will Hide and Michael Meyers will Seek. And it gets old FAST. This experience has so much potential but is completely tarnished by its illogical puzzles, slow pointless cut scenes, and poor room layout. The use of sound and lights makes it unbelievably confusing as when it’s time to hide or when there is a cinematic moment. Having played many hide and seek type of horror escape rooms, this one is my least favorite. If the point of your room is to hide, maybe give more places to hide than two areas? Like I said earlier, the concept loses its novelty fairly quickly. The story makes absolutely no sense. For some reason it’s in a hospital? And the finale, when we finished the room, I let out an audible “What?” From a production standpoint point, the lights, set design, and sounds are top notch. But that’s about all I can say positive from this room.

Out of my team, I had the most close calls with Mr Myers , which were the most memorable parts of the game for me. I also appreciated the finale, which was unique. This game has been the most hyped game to us by locals of Athens. This appears to be very realistic for locals of Athens. As Im from America, it did not feel as real, raw, and terrifying to me as Sculptor. Sculptor might be more fear-inducing for Americans, particularly American women, whereas Hide N Seek seems to be more fear-inducing for Greeks. I think Greeks may like Hide N Seek more than us because they could play one game at a time, as opposed to a marathon. Since we are doing 30 games in 9 days, my team felt one of the puzzles was a bit tedious, & we felt the hiding was prolonged. Perhaps a solution could be that an option could be offered to players to shorten that puzzle, & to shorten the periods of hiding.
