“Great game and the hosts were lovely. New style game with no combination locks. There were some really quirky elements and made us think......a lot! We got a few hints to help us along the way but they didn't give too much away. Just enough to keep us going We enjoyed this room so much we have booked another two in Budapest before we go home!”

“Secret Subway in Budapest is highly regarded, and it certainly lives up to its reputation, as well in Gamedesign, but also in difficulty. The experience was immersive, with multiple rooms and an impressive number of puzzles. Despite being exhausting when attempted by just two players, the story remained engaging. The room had a vibrant atmosphere and included a special game element that adds to the uniqueness, though it’s best left unspoiled. However, the initial room felt abit cramped, raising doubts about accommodating three to four players comfortably. The puzzles were very challenging, making it unsuitable for beginners. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and allowed for full immersion into the story. One puzzle was unclear in its execution and could have been better designed, but this was with the help of the gamemaster a minor issue. Despite the difficulty, the room provided a rewarding and fun challenge.”

“We had a full day planned at Aroom, and all their games was great. Our favorites was Deadland and House of Escobar. This one might not have been the hardest (we escaped in 33 minutes with 0 hints), but it was so good. Great theme, great puzzles, great use of area, great flow. Just a super fun time from start to finish. Highly reccomend this one!”

“Super fun game - great for beginners but also fun for experienced players. The game was well-decorated, and the puzzles were clear and super fun. Friendly team too. I would say Aroom has the best rooms we've played in Budapest.”

“I was struck by the uniqueness of this game’s theme (I’ve certainly not seen another “Pablo Escobar” room) and it absolutely delivers — great set with a surprising number of different areas to explore. Linear gameplay and one steep narrow staircase make this game best with a small number of players, but there are some excellent puzzles and everything is thematically appropriate. Highly recommended.”

“The set for this is amazing & it’s in my top 10 rooms of all time. They make really good use of the space available & it’s well decorated with puzzles that are bang on for the theme. Language wasn’t a barrier & although there was some climbing about, it wasn’t overly physically exerting. There’s a rush scenario near the end to chivvy you along & which provides a bit of extra drama & excitement, and will add to the challenge no matter what team size you have. Any more than 4 would probably struggle to fit in here, but this was great for a pair & would easily fit 3.”

“Very nice game with unique things. The setting is weird but nice at the same time. Story itself is quite obvious but it didnt matter that much because the game is full of puzzles which keeps you going. We played in two people and we have still a lot to do. I would reccommended if you have time in Budapešť.”

“The Aztec Catacombs room in Budapest is my personal favorite among the escape rooms I've experienced. Its design is excellent, perfectly capturing the Aztec theme with a strong Indiana Jones vibe. The room is highly immersive, making you feel like you're truly in an ancient catacomb filled with traps. A surprising and humorous element adds to the charm, and the music enhances the overall atmosphere, making the experience more realistic. The difficulty level is moderate, with puzzles that flow naturally and don't require much external help. The storyline is clear, reducing the need for assistance from the Game Master. The room is packed with unique game elements I've never seen before. Additionally, it's located under an escape room bar, where you can enjoy a themed cocktail after the game, adding a nice touch to the experience. The cocktail was reasonably priced by Budapest standards, making the whole experience enjoyable and memorable.”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
