Reviews of Escape House
Jason Kremer
We did 2 rooms "Hagatha" and "Madhouse" Madhouse was definitely our favorite,creative puzzles and Great jump scares, Hagatha had good puzzles but for 60% horror could've been a bit scarier. Overall the staff was friendly and the actors did great performances.

As someone who has done over 100 escape rooms across many countries, I was disappointed with the quality of the Martha room. The room was very dirty and worn out, and the puzzles were illogical and unintuitive. There were few clear connections between items/clues around the room and how they were to be used to open locks.

Great experience, we play “The Woman in Black” and the instructions were given fully in English after we asked for it. We solve it with a bit of help, and we got scared multiple times, the actor was very good and the people very friendly. Totally will try again in the future!

It's the best "Escape House" in the world. We had the most wonderful and MYSTERIOUS time!! The actors are playing their roles sooo good and the staff is sooo polite!! We joined "The Experiment". The decoration in this room is so good detailed and the riddles are very studied (Some of them maybe a bit hard but that's good). And obviously we were all scared as it is a horror game :P 5 stars are too ...
