What happens when the bloody stories of the past become flesh and blood before your eyes?

You cannot influence their development except to observe as passive spectators.

The pen in his hands reincarnates into a weaponized pistol and the words imprinted on the pages turn deadly.

No one knows who is behind the writing of these three best-selling novels which, while selling thousands of copies a day, were immediately discontinued as they seem to have inspired the serial killer who kills his victims in exactly the same inhuman ways described in these books.

You, as die-hard fans of the anonymous author, discover after much research an address many kilometers outside the city, which is rumored to correspond to the home of the "Ghost" author, and decide to visit him to get your hands on an autograph, if of course he is friendly with you...

Get ready to experience the ultimate horror novel in a vivid and interactive escape experience where fiction and reality are one page apart...

The only thing that is certain is that some stories would have been better if they had never been written...

Cool story with good acting. Some tech was broken which made us lose time as we couldn’t solve the puzzle without something moving. The music was painfully loud which ruined some enjoyment. We literally couldn’t communicate because it was so loud. The jump scares were great and kept us on our toes!

Overall, the game was intense and story-driven from the start. Many cinematic moments unfolded, and the tension in the game was just right. The authentic and spacious setting also contributed to this. All physical interactions with the characters were also appropriate and completely in keeping with the story. Puzzle-wise, the room was okay, but less challenging. The provider overall was very professional and provided great service.

great hostingintense👻scary

A nice set with some interesting cinematic scenes evoking emotion and drama. Would benefit from a greater quantity and variety of puzzles as we felt this was a weak point to the experience. Compared to other horrors in Athens it was intense without being overly scary although personally there were too many jump scares to the point that after a while they lost all scare value and became irritating. Host was fantastic. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

“This looks like a good story room which is not that scary” ~ Sem Janssen, Famous last words.

When we entered the building with a Redbull because we needed energy, we only new we were fans picking up an autograph from the Ghost Writer. Sounded simple and safe enough. When we spoke to someone in the house the first question was if we wanted our experience “physical”. Obviously as the most brave (and absent due to a toilet break) player in the team, my team chose for me I wanted it physical so I was up for something different with this so called “Ghost Writer”. I think giving players this option is a good thing because it allows them to have a customized experience without being forced into some things they don’t like.

Entering the room itself, we saw a very good setting with some nice (not too loud) music and some very good lighting. I remember the lighting in this room specifically because I considered it to be very good!

The puzzles/tasks in this room were of good level and forced players to really think in a scary environment while also having to go to scary places. I like this blend in Horror games!

The Ghost Writer by Horror Productions is a brand new room that only opened shortly before our last trip to Athens. When planning the trip, I read a lot about new rooms and heard reports from test groups. The Ghost Writer was definitely one of the rooms that received very positive feedback from everyone. I also found the story and the teaser very interesting. Overall, my anticipation was very high and it’s rare to be disappointed in Athens, so let’s see how it would turn out this time.
