It all looked like a good idea for easy money, they had all the information they needed and even the keys to the house from the security company that the father of one of the party ran! A helpless, blind man would not be much of a barrier between them and the money. But the reality became a pure nightmare. Because they didn't know that the "helpless" blind man was a US Army Special Forces veteran who always carried with him the scars and perversion of the Iraq war in 1991. And the huge isolated house of 230 square meters, was his own theater of operations. . This house in this infamous neighborhood held more secrets than they expected and ended up becoming a battlefield. Will the invaders survive a deadly escape game?

This is for sure one of my all time favorite escape room. I felt completely immersed in the story and set. The suspense build throughout this room was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It truly felt like I was in the story.

A highlight of our Greece trip. Stood out as an experience like no other. Less of an escape room due to how realistic it felt. Never let up on the suspense!! It continued to build while our team continuously mentioned how much fun this was!!

Not puzzle-filled, but highly interactive and intuitive.

8/10 First it needs to be said, this is not an escape room. This is an experience. This will be discussed before entering the building, so keep this in mind. Now with that being said, there aren’t really puzzles to solve and you will be told what and where to go by a handheld radio the entire time you play. This is the only downside of this room. Don’t Take A Breath strengths lie in its unbelievable production, atmosphere, light programming, sound design, acting, and sheer size of the space. Sometimes this room feels real, that’s how immersed you will be. It’s hard not to love this room. Its ratings and TERPECA rankings are for a reason.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and honest review! We truly appreciate you highlighting the difference between a traditional escape room and the immersive experience we’ve designed. Our intention has always been to create a cinematic journey rather than a puzzle-focused game, and we’re glad this was clear from the beginning. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the radio guidance. While it helps us drive the story and maintain the flow of the experience, we understand it may feel limiting for players who prefer classic puzzle solving. Thank you for recognizing the work behind the production, atmosphere, lighting, sound design, acting and scale — our team puts enormous effort into every detail, and your words mean a lot. We’re honored by the love this room receives and grateful that you found it memorable. We hope to welcome you back for more immersive adventures in the future! – The Verone Escape Rooms Team

My bf and I arrived to our 2nd game of our Athens’ trip. There were two doors. The correct door was beside a garage door. We were allowed to use the restroom prior to the game, which we appreciated. We were greeted in a comical manner, and then experienced an action-packed story. I ran exceptionally fast during a portion that I predicted I might get captured. Unfortunately and expectedly, I missed a portion of the experience. If you do not want to miss anything, consider not fleeing exceptionally fast. Although we missed a brief interaction, this did not negatively impact our experience. Instead, we appreciate that they were able to accommodate and improvise for us. Even though they were cautious not to chase us when we were on stairs or set up unnecessary obstacles, I accidentally tore my shirt on a door knob while running. They responded empathetically and considerately. :)) We really feel that they were 1,000% passionate about what they do. Since they were having a great time, their enjoyment spilled over to us, the customers. Usually when I have a room that I most look forward to on a trip, it tends to fall lower on my favorites than anticipated. This room is an exception. I most looked forward to this room, and they exceeded my expectations. This is my bf’s and my new favorite game. We hope to return for their future games.

Ein fantastisches Spiel. Ich habe den Film schon geliebt. Man fühlt sich ganze zwei Stunden lang in diesen zurückversetzt. Es ist beeindruckend, was hier für ein immersives Erlebnis geschaffen wurde. Kulisse + Rätsel und Schauspieleinsatz sind exzellent. Ich habe dieses Spiel bereits zweimal spielen können und würde es jederzeit wieder machen. Eines der besten Spiele in Athen.

  • First of all, excitement and lots of live action...The name “Don’t take a breath” is really fitting.
