“Santa Maria” Monastery Chiajna, Romania 1953 Late afternoon of November 7th, the monthly delivery of food and goods to the entrance of the monastery never takes place. The local merchant flees in fear and reports to the local authorities about the macabre sight he saw when he arrived at the monastery’s courtyard. Dead, hanging nuns everywhere, screams of terror and pain could be heard from inside the monastery, the smell of death was prevalent. The authorities notify the higher level of the Parish in Bucharest about the event. The authorities cannot enter the monastery, so the highest Parish sends you in a hurry, one of the last Order of monks who undertake such incidents. You arrive two nights later outside the “Santa Maria” Monastery in Chiajna to find out what happened…

Hell Hole Monastery by Shadow Horror Live Games was the 1st game of Day 6 and the 16th room of our Athens Escape Tour 2026, played with the same team of five. This one took all of us by surprise. From the very beginning, the setting and design are on a grand scale, creating a majestically immersive environment supported by excellent lighting and sound effects. The initial impression is a real wow moment that immediately pulls you into the experience. The puzzles were fun and very well integrated into the theme, keeping the flow smooth while maintaining the atmosphere. As expected in Athens, there are well-acted cinematic scenes throughout, with one in particular standing out as truly impressive. Everything comes together to create a memorable and intense experience that stays with you after finishing. A must play for fans of thrillers and jump scare driven games. Truly unforgettable.

This was the first horror game we played in Athens, and it immediately became one of the most immersive games we ever played. Everything is great; the actors, the decoration, and the story blend together and a horrifying but beautiful story. We played it with only 2 players, and this can get quite intense. However, you get some rest at some points in the story, and this feels nice and gives you time to take a breath. The staff was very kind afterwards and took the time to answer our questions.
