Mark as done to rate

Their screams can still be heard today ... The foul smell of decay rises to your nostrils as you make your way through the fog to the Floresti Asylum. The asylum, you are told, was closed in the 1980s. Some patients and the staff have not been seen since, but what happened? Are the rumors surrounding the maniacal Doctor Sterling true? Did he actually perform inhumane experiments on his patients? One thing is for sure, the asylum has not been entered for years, but the screams coming from the building at night make you curious. Do you dare to find out what happened back then?

This was a very scary game to do. It was essentially playing resident evil/silent hill style games but in person. I found this more scary than the dark forest game at the same venue. Puzzles reasonably straightforward- but getting to them or being able to complete them can be challenging.

As per the instructions- you will need to run for your life in the game. You will be chased at times. Sometimes you don’t want to look up either.

Really great use of space. While Dark Forest felt open to run around, Asylum was cramped and at times claustrophobic. Trying to maneuver around the actors while they stalked and chased you was a definite highlight. Thinking you’re safe is a trap, there was stellar set design in that nowhere was truly safe. A fantastic experience from start to finish. A must play in Germany.

Our 18th stop on our Escape Tour Germany 2024. Another excellent horror experience from Escape Stories! This room stands out for its tight, close-quarters design, making it far more intense and chaotic than The Dark Forrest. The proximity to the actors amplifies the tension, keeping you on edge throughout. The puzzles, while slightly harder than The Dark Forrest, remain on the easier side, allowing the focus to stay on the immersive horror elements. Fans of the Silent Hill video game series will feel right at home with the familiar, eerie atmosphere. Highly recommended for fans of scary rooms seeking a thrilling and immersive challenge!

First horror experience we played with our group, an man is it a banger. The actors do the best job u can think of, your heartrate will tell you. Puzzles fit perfectly in the setting and will make you feel even more uncomfortable at certain points. If you a horror fan and close to Wuppertal, u camt misss this masterpiece

My Favorite Horror Room Right now. It was our Groups first Horrror Room and what can I say, but they delivered. The Actors were absolutely amazing, Before, during and after the game. The Puzzles were a good difficulty for the type of Room (Beeing terrified kinda restricts your rational thinking xD ) The armosphere was unbelievable creepy and i was so scared. My Favorite Escape Room Right Now 10/10 must play

Asylum of Fear stands out as one of the best horror escape games I've experienced. The immersive atmosphere and meticulous set design immediately draw you into the eerie setting of a haunted asylum. The live actors are phenomenal, with their acrobatic and chilling performances adding a level of intensity that feels straight out of a horror film. The sound and lighting effects are expertly used to heighten the tension, making every moment unpredictable. While the puzzles are moderately challenging, the true strength of this game lies in its ability to create a deeply engaging and terrifying experience. Despite the occasional overuse of fog, the overall execution is impressive. Asylum of Fear is a must-try for anyone seeking a thrilling and memorable escape room adventure.
