I loved this game for its atmosphere. I felt immersed and impressed the entire way along and the attention to detail in its design was strikingly satisfying. The puzzles were, in my opinion, hard in the sense of finding them. Feels like there could be something that would lead you towards focusing on a certain thing, considering how many details there were, however, that could just be my opinion based on not having played as many rooms. They were nonetheless innovative and clever. If you like incredible atmospheres and worldbuilding, you’ll love this game. 100% one of the games to play in Prague. Our roommaster, Ája, was very nice too, knowing exactly when we needed a little push and trying to maintain our immersion as best as she could.

We had a birthday party here a long time ago and they let us use the space for the ceremony itself after the game. i remember the game was pretty first gen, but nonetheless enjoyable. definitely not one of the best games, but it did have an interesting feature to it including an actor, which i felt like made it one of the better games in Ostrava. as i said, though, this was a long time ago, so my review coming from a memory at a time when i didn’t have many rooms played and didn’t perceive the quality of escape rooms the way i do now. consider my review non-definitive.

the room is generally not very good. it does have good looking design and interesting puzzles with the wands youre given throughout the game being probably the most unique and interesting feature, but that’s about it. The atmosphere is not very immersive, there’s a complete lack of ambient sound, except for some noises connected with certain puzzle completions and operations with the wands. When I play an escape game, I like the feeling of completely forgetting I am in one, and this room did nothing to accommodate that feeling. We could tell where hidden compartments are, and how they would open, the puzzles themselves were clever, but sketchily functional, with the roommaster having to tell us to push something for it to open, hence making the experience not smooth and less immersing. One more thing I will metion is the puzzle at the end, which was completely unclear and non-understandable, having us do random things in order to finish. Would say what the puzzle was, but I’d like this review not to contain spoilers. As for the roommaster, whose name I unfortunately don’t remember as I have lost the card given to me at the end, they were mediocre. There wasn’t any roleplay involved in explaining the story, they also said that the hints would be in a roleplaying fashion in the sense of a house elf, which they weren’t, and, when we needed advice for one of the puzzles, they just explained the puzzle outright, not having us finish the puzzle by ourselves. in hindsight, there are many rooms way better than this one for the price, which was around 2000czk. I do not recommend this room.
