Sleep

Down the Hatch are back with an amazing follow up to Molly’s Game. Sleep brings bigger sets, intense actor interactions and a dark story to the great puzzle design and atmosphere we were already expecting. An amazing, long game, where you don’t feel the hours passing. We really enjoyed the focus on creative and somewhat difficult puzzles which added more depth to the story.

We had the chance to be among the first to experience this brand-new escape adventure "Sleep" – and it was absolutely worth it. The room is set in the same universe as “Molly’s Game,” which you can definitely feel, although this experience takes a very different approach. Dr. Dan Kowalski draws you into a roughly three-hour mystery adventure that repeatedly delivers exciting and slightly thrilling moments. What really stands out is the incredibly well-crafted story. It’s dense, full of detail, and easy to follow – provided you take the time to truly explore everything, read carefully, and connect the dots. You’re actually encouraged to do exactly that: the owner himself advises not to rush, but to fully enjoy the experience. And that advice really pays off. Despite the large number of puzzles, nothing feels overwhelming. Everything is logically structured, and you can comfortably complete it within the given time if you stay attentive. Another highlight is the acting, which elevates the entire experience and significantly enhances the immersion. A very special shoutout goes to the owner for this masterpiece – the level of detail, creativity, and passion is truly outstanding and something you rarely encounter. It’s also worth noting that this is not a horror room, but rather an atmospheric mystery adventure with many beautifully designed scenes. Conclusion: If you’re ready to dive back into the world of Dr. Dan Kowalski, this is an experience you definitely shouldn’t miss.

I think this game is top tier. It was 3 hours that I wish that would keep going. Just like Molly’s game it may not be for everyone (added to temper expectations ;)), but for me and what I enjoy (puzzles, story, set design details, and flow) it was a dream.

This is a puzzle dense game in the best possible way. The gameplay is smooth and puzzles are engaging so that 3 hours fly by and you never realize how much time you’ve spent in the room because you just want to keep exploring and playing more. The story is clear and engaging. Really an amazing room.

This room is incredibly impressive and would even challenge the best escape rooms. The theatrical elements, set design, storyline, and puzzles were all exceptional. I’m thrilled that I was able to secure a booking and highly recommend it.
