The actor is certainly Russia’s best kept secret. Ours, Marcus, was excellent, even if he was partial to a drink and tried to foil our endeavour. However, he made an unforgettable experience. The theming, set up and immersion was great. The only reason it wasn’t perfect as some of the tech wasn’t well signposted or user friendly. Try not to miss all the details, otherwise points are lost. Loved it and would definitely recommend. 

Think we all fell in love with Marcus after this!

Wow! This game was just incredible. It's on the pricey side but it is a 2 hour escape game/experience and there is a live actor with you in the room so it was most definitely worth the price. You and your team mates are disguised as Moldavian rat catchers (complete with stick on moustaches if you so wish) and have to infiltrate the Russian General's office and complete a set of tasks (you'll be told what these are by your secret agent who communicates with you through walkie talkie but I don't want to spoil anything!) The live actor element is just outstanding - there's a Russian Guard in the room with you and you really have to think outside of the box to work around them and proceed through the room which added an element I know I am going to missing from all the future escape games I play!

Although this isn't a scary game, it does get rather tense as you proceed! 

Reviews by escape room review sites

Because of a certain movie, I kept expecting Downfall to be a WWII theme, but it’s actually set four decades later at the end of the Cold War: the general in control of a Soviet republic has a plan to start a nuclear war, and you are the spies tasked with stopping him.
Midgaard are proud of Downfall: their website explains that it’s a two hour premium escape room, designed with the ambition of creating the best room in Denmark and one of the best in Europe. In fact, I was in Copenhagen on this ...
9/10

Downfall – Spy Mission Escape Room is a 120-minute premium game which is ranked as Scandinavia’s best escape room (2024). The Mission is set in 1989 Soviet territory and the players have to infiltrate General Kolnikov’s headquarters to prevent World War III.

As a team of Moldovan Pied Pipers, we have to make our way through the general’s office, outsmart various security technology and constantly be on guard against the watchful and very suspicious security guard.

Two aspects that I particularly liked about this game. Firstly, there are the numerous humorous interactions with the professional actor, who reacted very quickly to all situations that arose. This requires the group’s creativity and ingenuity. Diversionary maneuvers, lies, nasty tricks – everything is allowed to gain access to the command center.
