Christmas-themed setting, lots of logical puzzles, and a clear throughline—ideal if you want a cozy yet demanding hour. If you speak English, you’re at an advantage; then it’s great fun.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIThe room is mostly linear and filled with classic combination puzzles, described as fair and comprehensible. Decor and mood are well received by many, though some don’t find it particularly high-tech. It’s repeatedly mentioned that texts are in English, which can be frustrating without language skills. Service experiences range from very attentive to rather unfocused; small tech and immersion breaks occurred.
WeaknessesEnglish texts without clear upfront info can slow down groups without English skills. The flow is quite linear and often relies on locks rather than high tech. Occasionally, outside noise or small tech hiccups disrupt immersion.
StrengthsCohesive Christmas atmosphere with loving details and solid production values. Many puzzles keep teams of two to four well occupied. Overall a well-rounded, fun experience for fans of classic escape logic.
SecurityNo reports of unsafe situations; standard briefing assumed. Minor hiccups like dead batteries or a misfiring door trigger happened but posed no risk.
Level of fearNot scary—family-friendly and welcoming. Kids manage fine; plan for English-language portions.
Actors' gameMixed feedback on the gamemaster: from very friendly and present to less attentive with clunky hint timing. Actor interaction isn’t the focus; it’s more about supervision from the control room.
Quality of riddlesMany, mostly classic lock-and-combination tasks—logical and fair. Some find them innovative; others want more tech and variety. Almost all texts are in English; rarely there were odd triggers, like an unexpectedly opening lock.
PlotYou must get your names off Santa’s naughty list before the elves return. 60 minutes on the clock in Santa’s wintry hideout.
Difficulty levelMostly described as medium, made manageable by its linearity. Doable as a pair, most relaxed for 3–4 people; beginners manage with hints, veterans breeze through.

Really nicely decorated, with little Christmas details everywhere that put you in the mood right away. The puzzles are clean and logical, but there are a lot of locks. The three of us were in a good flow; English was no problem. Would happily come back.

Very nice room with a Christmas vibe. Service was top-notch, the furnishings were truly atmospheric and high-quality. The difficulty felt medium, so quite doable with some brainpower. Overall, 8 out of 10 for me.

You can play it all year round, even though it's Christmas-themed. Once you find the thread, it runs like clockwork in a team of four and is really fun—provided you've been good.
