One of the characters told my boyfriend he is beautiful, touched his leg repeatedly, told him to divorce me, followed him into the restroom, and asked if he needs help in the restroom. All of us were uncomfortable with this unusual behavior. Another one of my friends who had played expressed that she had injured herself significantly while playing, & stated she no longer wished to participate. Despite boundary-setting, one of the characters repeatedly struck their weapon on either side of her. I had several other friends who had negative experiences at this location for various reasons as well. On a positive note, the set design was impressive & the gentleman acted perfectly. There was room for improvement, though.

Awesome game, the actors did an amazing job and the experience was really memorable. We played just two people. It was scary but also really fun. The immersive setting was unbelievable.

The interactions were exciting, the puzzles were simple but we were quite distracted :O

This is an absolute world class immersive experience that also offered enough gaming to also be a fun escape experience. The sets will blow your mind. I really felt like I was a part of the story and in this entire world that the creators introduced. There are a lot of actors in the game that bring the village to life and offer beautiful scenes with a good amount of chasing that balanced nicely between being playful and scary. I was "captured," something they warn you up front about, and the individual experience was very very special. I can't recommend this enough. If you can only play one game in Athens, this should be it.

This is an unbelievable experience. As others have said, it is definitely more of an experience than a typical escape room. If you go into it expecting lots of well lit puzzles you’ll be disappointed. Go into it with an open mind and try and enjoy what unfolds before you. You won’t have any choice but to be fully immersed in the story. You can’t visit Athens and not experience this game - it is an absolute must-play. If you are of a more nervous disposition you have a panic button and an option to tone down the experience if you need to, I thought about it a couple of times but I’m glad that we pushed on and completed it, albeit slowly, in full game mode. What the team have created and execute here is spectacular, I don’t think that there is anything on this level in the UK.
Gameplay
This experience is just that - simple puzzles within a hugely atmospheric and cinematic setting. There were several times that we weren’t sure what to do, as the adrenaline and constant feeling of being on edge gets in the way of logical thought, but were given several helpful nudges by the staff, who stayed in character the whole time.
Atmosphere
The size and scale of the set is unbelievable - it just goes on and on and on, on multiple levels. I was expecting something big before we visited but this was something else. The special effects, acting and storytelling were spectacular. Very clever use of lighting to aid movement.
Customer service
The staff remain in character throughout and are fantastic - great actors but also very caring and attentive. They make it clear that the experience can be adapted at any point during the experience, more or fewer scares, remove the actor element, panic button. At one point we asked for less strobe light as it irritates my husband and they instantly adapted the game. This was the best example of immersive hosting I have seen, they were fantastic.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The immersion begins from the moment you press the buzzer. What they have built across two floors is unbelievable. I have never played anything like this before.
Story
This experience was seamless. Cut scenes, scares, exploration and puzzles were integrated perfectly. This game is meant to be the final part of the LOCKHILL series - you are supposed to play the other games first but it doesn’t matter if you haven’t. We played the Voodoo shop first so had an idea of the story we were part of, but the introduction to this game fills in all of the necessary background that you need.
Difficulty
Medium
The puzzles weren’t difficult, or at least wouldn’t be in a well lit, quiet space, with no fear of being found. The darkness and constant heightened sense of being on adrenaline and high alert make all logic and common sense fly out of the window.

We played as a two. You WILL be separated so a larger group would be useful. Too many and you may struggle in some of the smaller spaces.

Scary and jumpy rather than horror. Some very effective jump scares - they got me at least 6 times.

Yes - the GM are part of your game right from the start. There are actors at several points - to provide cut scene information to move the story along, to provide help and assistance, and to scare the pants off you.

Lots of movement, some stairs, ladders, crawling, hiding. You aren’t supposed to run but you will.
Accessibility
A puzzle relies on colour. The dim lighting would make it difficult for vision impaired people. Not suitable for wheelchair users. People with reduced mobility, I’m sure the game could be adapted.
Easy to find location
Yes
Very close to a tram stop.
Parking
We got the tram.

One of a kind experience. Less of a traditional escape room and more of a “mystery/don’t get caught” experience. Loads of fun but fatiguing too.

The puzzles themselves are not terribly difficult. Just factor in darkness, noise and the fear obstacles and it makes it tougher.

Seriously one of the greatest rooms if not the greatest we have ever done. Best in class at design, immersive use of actors and props. Very fun. If you do only one escape room in Athens, I would strongly consider this one

Chapel & Catacombs is one of my favorite rooms, and I would consider it a must play for anyone visiting Athens. The set is huge and detailed, and they even spend a good amount on areas you barely spend much time in, which really adds to the worldbuilding and sense that you're in another space. I'm not a horror fan and was worried I wouldn't like this game, but the gameplay somehow didn't strike me as scary at all. While there are sections of the game where players are pursued by demons, their movement rules are told to players at the beginning of the game. Demons don't move that fast or appear that unexpectedly, so avoiding them is just a task you'll have to keep juggling. I'm pretty sure their purpose is more to herd players in the right direction than actually trying to catch us. Like a lot of games in Athens, the game is a cold start - as soon as we walked in (actually, even before), we're in universe. Even after we finished, our guide didn't drop character, even though I kind of wished he would so we could discuss a wider variety of topics. We played the game in English with no problems.

I hate scary escape rooms, but this one takes the cake for an immersive, cinematic experience. Instead of feeling like a series of small rooms, the space felt like an authentic layout of a chapel and catacombs in its own world. 5 ppl made for a good size, esp with some scaredy cats and tight spaces.
