Titkos Metró [Secret Subway]

Possibly one of my favourite ever rooms (23 at time of review) the story is immersive, the set is incredibly well put together and I would say this is a must do in budapest for escape roomers. If you are used to UK difficulties, i would aim to get out in 60 minutes and call it hard difficulty, at 75 minutes I think the safety blanket of time is generous, we nearly got out with 30 minutes spare as a 2. But I suppose it makes the room more accessible to all levels of experience which is only a good thing! IMPORTANT: venue is cash only however, you can buy gift cards online. Buy them online before your room to avoid ATM fees if you don't have the HUF to hand already and need to pay by card. Don't let the cash only stop you doing the room!

Amazing technical room, plenty to do. a good group game with lots of stages and mechanics, a must play in Budapest!

Highlight of our visit to Budapest

The staff is very friendly. The room was more task oriented than puzzle oriented. Ending was fun.

I’m 64 rooms in at this point, and Secret Subway is one of the best I’ve ever done. Trust me, do it.

One of the best rooms in our almost 50 different rooms. We loved it. Great riddles and a lovely decoration and acustic/sound and effects.

Such a cool room and story. Also very nice staff.

Secret Subway in Budapest is highly regarded, and it certainly lives up to its reputation, as well in Gamedesign, but also in difficulty. The experience was immersive, with multiple rooms and an impressive number of puzzles. Despite being exhausting when attempted by just two players, the story remained engaging. The room had a vibrant atmosphere and included a special game element that adds to the uniqueness, though it’s best left unspoiled. However, the initial room felt abit cramped, raising doubts about accommodating three to four players comfortably. The puzzles were very challenging, making it unsuitable for beginners. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and allowed for full immersion into the story. One puzzle was unclear in its execution and could have been better designed, but this was with the help of the gamemaster a minor issue. Despite the difficulty, the room provided a rewarding and fun challenge.

I liked game really much! It goes my own top list! Amazing looking room and very fun puzzles. Gamehost was really nice and give very good instruction.

I liked the story of this experience, it is something I have never done before. The story was well thought out with twists and turns throughout. Some puzzle witnessed here which I have not came across before and were very enjoyable. We are English and had no problem understanding the game as the GM spoke in English and all of the puzzles were easy to understand. The overall achievement at the end of the game was worth all of the hard work. The way to exit the room was also equally as fun!
