Paradox Project 3: Το Ωδείον [The Music Academy]

This game is focused on puzzle solving. Puzzles are mostly clever, nicely layered and challenging and though there is not that much focus on immersion and "forgetting that you're in a game", the atmosphere still captures you. After a long time I really enjoyed that satisfaction from solving puzzles and that heuréka feeling. I didn't enjoy one of the last rooms where we were supposed to think "paradoxically" though. For me the game could definitely be shorter - there is no reason to have it that long - especially when there are a bit frustrating puzzles at the end from my point of view.

Well…WAU. My first game from Paradox Project and the name of the company explains a lot. If you want to enjoy almost 3 hours of full on puzzles that this is perfect game (and company) for you. I loved it! But be prepared, it is quite hard and you will need a lot of energy for your brain. I must say that at some point some puzzles were so much paradox puzzles that I didnt know if to laugh or cry when finding out the solution. But still I have enjoyed the game very much! Recommended!

This was a solid experience! When I read that this escape room was 3 hours long, I was a bit unsure if I would be engaged for the entirety of the game, but the gameplay and the puzzles were extremely captivating, which made the time fly by! You also have the choice to take a break partway through the game to drink water and use the restroom. I found the puzzles extremely thoughtful, and most of them tied into the music theme quite nicely. There were a couple of narrative choices that were questionable, as well as some puzzles that I found were a bit of a stretch, but neither of those severely affected my ability to play and enjoy the game. The Music Academy is an extremely fun and satisfying experience. If you are in Athens, this escape room is definitely worth checking out!

The absolutely mind-blowing riddles are worth the 180+ minutes needed for the room! No spoilers I will only say no music needed for the room!

I had such a great time. I am still not sure if this or the bookstore are my favourite rooms ever. Love the paradox team and looking forward to chapter 2. I would suggest to go for it if you have some experience with rooms or you won’t appreciate it at its entirety.

Amazing experience! One of my very favorite so far.

This is truly an escape room for escape room owners, lovers, and enthusiasts. They really catered to everything we love and put together a work of art. I loved all the twists and turns, and I would travel from USA to Greece in a heartbeat to do the next one.
