"The sanatorium is no longer used. From what I've read, it was used for both the mentally and the physically impaired and the living conditions in that place were truly horrendous. The strange thing is the other day I was passing by, I swear I think I heard someone screaming from the inside. I surely must have been mistaken though because it was closed down long ago." - Excerpt from the diary of Professor Nathan Jones

We played the Midnight mode (extra riddles, extra horror) and I have to say one of the scariest experiences, the atmosphere alone is enough to make you anxious and the riddles where very nice. The overall great thing about the sanatorium and Lockhill in general is the gameplay which sets them apart from the rest.

There are three different modes of gameplay you can choose: Day: maximum puzzles, no actors, 90 mins Night: less/simpler puzzles, with live actors, 90 mins (same cost as day) Midnight: maximum puzzles, with live actors, 150 mins (additional cost) As we were already playing other horror games with actors in other rooms, we chose day mode to focus on puzzles, rather than another actor horror room experience. Even without live actors, this was a phenomenal room. The narrow claustrophobic hallways, disorienting layout, plenty of hidden nooks and outstanding theming made this a terrifying and thrilling experience. We were on edge the entire time even though we knew we would not encounter anyone.

Great immersion even without the actors option (I probably would have shit myself with actors). Great puzzles and time. Recommend it very much. Warning: bring extra shoes and hand wipes... Quite dusty floors.

Quite linear game perfect for 2 people. I wouldn't do with a group unless you want to just see them scared. Definitely not more than 4.

Lock Hill claims to be the most thematic escape room in Europe and they are onto something, from the moment you enter the foyer you are transported to the world, there are three rooms at this venue and they are all in the village of "Lock Hill", all the GM's are always in character and it gives a level of immersion rarely seen in Escape Rooms.  The Sanatorium has three difficulty levels and you choose before hand, daylight is normal but with no live actors, night is half the puzzles but live actors and nightmare is all the puzzles with live actors!  We chose daylight as one of our number had an injured foot and didn't fancy it.  This is a hard room with some really complex puzzles to get your head around.  Clues are given over a phone and still given in character.  This was a tough room without worrying about what might be round the corner.  I've been torn about whether I enjoyed this or the manor house more but I think this one just gets over the line.

9/10 There is only one way to play this escape room. Midnight Mode. More Monsters, More Puzzles, More Fear, More Pressure, and overall an incredible experience. The performances by the actors are outstanding. Every character in their element, immersing you deeper and deeper into the experience. The scares are well balanced, from terrifying jump scares to psychological manipulation, to situational pressure forcing you to make quick decisions and adjust play style accordingly. Puzzles are not strong points in the majority of Greek rooms, but the Sanatorium was a breath of fresh air. Their puzzles were anywhere from simply straight forward to complex and thought provoking. And don’t even worry about the production and set design. As Lockhill once again outdid themselves, proving themselves once again as one of the best Escape Room companies in Greece, if not the world. And yes, bring an extra pair of shoes.

Great set design, part of an overall story that connects all rooms at lockhill. We played in day mode but for those into more horror experiences, night mode should be right up your alley. Would have hearted but room was uncomfortably hot at times.

Very

We did speak to the gm and there are some work arounds but this room definitely was one of the more active rooms I've ever done, and that was without any live actors (day mode)

Accessibility

There are ways the GM can accommodate some of the impairment issues but there are definitely some issues in the base experience. The gm was very accommodating and had clearly thought through the accessibility aspects of the room, but the room could definitely be tough for some with more severe needs

We did midnight mode! What we experienced in that room it is difficult to describe! It was very scary we felt we are in the horror movie! Great set and interesting puzzles staff was very helpful and friendly, we enjoyed it more than chapel & catacombs. If you don’t like horror movies you would not enjoy to be constantly scared 😱 but we loved it 🖤

  • Sanatorium is a fantastic experience, creepy even in non-scary mode, and potentially terrifying ...

    The Logic Escapes Me
  • The most thematic escape game...I really like Lockhill! For me its adrenaline pure...
