Anton: It’s hard for me to fully describe this room.
First of all — it’s dirty. It’s definitely narrow, low, and overall the dimensions made it really hard for me to move around. There were tons of puzzles, some logical, others where you’re just left wondering what you’re supposed to do. There was sand, water, a ball, alignment puzzles… everything. The room was built with ambition.
But like many escape rooms in Greece, that investment seems to have been left behind. The local style seems to be: “Build it with passion, then throw it away.”
We came out muddy, dirty, and almost gasping for air. My feelings about this room are very mixed. I hit my head a few times, cursed, apologized to my teammates for being too big to fit through parts of the space… Mixed feelings. A lot of them.
Nadia: Are you freaking kidding me with this room?
The only thing that could improve this place is if you set it on fire and put it out of its misery.
I’ve been in dirty rooms. I’ve been in horror rooms. I’ve been in dirty horror rooms. I’ve been in small rooms, big rooms—I’ve crawled, I’ve squeezed, I’ve done everything necessary to escape.
But this room isn’t just worn out—it’s the Bonnie Blue of escape rooms– it is sad, full of … dust and smells like desperatuion.
At this point, I would even accept 220 volts of electricity in the water, but seriously— people, please, just .. leave this place be.
Closed, I mean. Permanently.
I have to apologize.
Not to the room. Not to the brand.
But to the game master.
She was a lovely girl. She did her absolute best—talking with us, trying to hype us up, smiling and engaging.
Looking back at what happened later, I get it—it was pure survival instinct. Anyone with less patience could’ve gone full-on violent after this so-called “adventure.”
I’m so sorry, dear lady. I know you had our best interests at heart.
But we left immediately—because I insisted.
You wouldn’t have liked what I had to say if we stayed.
I’m writing this a year after our game, and the vein on my forehead is visible again.
In this ridiculous situation, thank God for Angel, who managed to bring comedy into the misery—we laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.
And that was all for this trip. The photo was taken after we passed the border with the sword (in my hands in the photo) in the trunk. Why did we have a sword? It is a long, long story, but an epic one ⚔️🕯️🕎
