About the escape room

Right outside a little town there is a dark forest. Hidden deep in the woods is an old abandoned orphanage. Locals say that many many years ago the director of it made a pact with forces of evil. He paid for his own immortality with the innocent children’s souls. One night the orphanage was suddenly empty. Old wife’s tales! You think… and light-headed you walk in to find out more about it. First mistake. Because now you’re here…it’s high time you get out of there! But something seems to want to keep you here. LIFE ACTOR OPTION! Creaking doors opening on their own… Terrifying noises sending shivers down your spine… Unexpected darkness and ghosts that hide in the dark… Not enough horror for you? You want to experience next level thrills? Then book a live actor for your game at the abandoned orphanage, and experience an hour of unique horror! Because now the demon is truly after you, and there is no escape.

AI
Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
A delightfully creepy escape room with cinematic sound, lighting, and an extremely cohesive set. If you like goosebumps and clever, fair puzzles, you should go—ideally with 3–5 people.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost praise the atmosphere, the set design, and the seamless use of sound and lighting. The staff are super friendly and offer fitting, unobtrusive hints. Difficulty is generally rated as medium; the puzzles are logical and well embedded in the story, often without classic number locks. A few complain about darkness, occasionally hard-to-understand audio hints, and rare tech hiccups.
WeaknessesFor some it’s too dark in places or acoustically hard to understand. In large groups it can become tighter and more confusing. Occasionally there were small technical issues at the start.
StrengthsImmersion deluxe: authentic rooms, many areas, and a dense horror story. Creative, fair puzzles with a nice flow, plus very attentive gamemasters. An optional live actor adds another layer of tension.
SecurityThere’s a clear briefing before the start; during the game, hints are given gently. If problems arise, the team intervenes quickly and professionally; overall everything feels well looked after.
Level of fearClearly scary, with jump scares and constant thrills—ideal for horror fans. Not really for the very skittish or small children; even more intense with a live actor.
Actors' gameThe live actor is repeatedly described as a highlight and noticeably boosts the tension. Gamemasters are present, witty, and help with fitting, in‑universe hints.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are coherent, varied, and cleanly integrated into the story; often without pure number locks. At times you have to think “supernaturally,” yet it remains fair. Hints come subtly and appropriately.
PlotThe story about an abandoned orphanage and dark forces steadily builds tension. The throughline stays clear without spoiling and carries the puzzles.
Difficulty levelOverall medium and very doable, even for newcomers with a few hints. Experienced teams appreciate the variety and flow; from about five people it can run more efficiently than with even larger groups.

The sound and lighting effects are brilliantly integrated and really ramp up the scare factor. The difficulty was pleasantly balanced, and the hints were delivered in a way that fit the game world. With six of us, everyone had something to do — a great change from the usual leisure activities.

Booking was easy and arrival was smooth. The room offers plenty of variety and hardly relies on combination locks. The design is strong overall, with a few areas that could be improved. Our game master was easygoing, funny, and always helpful — a clear recommendation.

Amazing setting, tons of details, and an exciting story that never lets up. The clues came exactly when we needed them, without killing the magic. We’ll be back!

Very good room, but for my taste too dark in a few corners, and the child’s voice used for hints was hard to understand. Otherwise, fair puzzles and a great team.
