The room is based on a classic horror film, adapting it with great attention to detail while also incorporating highly creative, original touches. We particularly appreciated how the game mechanics explain themselves and build increasing tension. Time flew by so quickly that we were surprised to find the game had already come to an end—a good sign, as it clearly left us wanting more. The service was also excellent; upon arrival, we were even treated to refreshments that fit the story’s theme.

Some excellent cinematic scenes and a really original ending mechanic. The only criticism would be how few puzzles there were but the scare factor is high throughout.

First room in Athens. Didn’t know what to expect. The puzzles were very different and there isn’t a lot to go off. Took us some time to find our rhythm but once it really got going, there were some very frantic moments. Some of the set pieces are great. The ending was cinematic too.

I would rank this a little lower than stay in the dark - formerly in Netherlands. Still massive fun and put a smile on all our faces. They ain’t afraid to get close and personal!

Great puzzles and very clean set. Usually horror rooms can be dangerous with hazards but this one is designed well enough that you can run safely. Lots of rooms to explore but minimal time needed in each room. Some unique scenes which we had not experienced in 250+ rooms. Unique twist to the original story which added fear as the game progressed.

This game is phenomenal. If you've been to Athens you'll know how well games are put together but this game just had the edge for me. 

With this game, you get it all. The set design, the use of lights and sound. Puzzles, tension, Incredible acting.

Let's talk about sound and light, the games in Athens use both sound and light to it's full potential, however to some international players it's a bit too loud. Our team struggled a bit with the huge decibels that came with some games. This game never felt too loud and there was a beautiful moment with sound and light that gives me goosebumps thinking about it. It was so well done. 

The game brought everything together, I now know cinematics is something Athens do brilliantly and this game was no different. 

It was an awesome experience with a fantastic finale 👏🏻

Slots for this game are incredibly hard to book but if you can, then don't think twice. Oh and if you have a spare seat, let me know, I would absolutely play it again. 

If you're a fan of the Halloween films or Michael Myers himself then this will always give the extra edge to players. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

When we arrived in Athens basically everyone, from owners to players to internationals, told us this would be THE room of the trip.

The room was fully booked for the next 7 months at the time we played so expectations started to raise a bit and we got really excited to go there.

Entering the building, you feel something is going to be really good. The setting just before the room starts is already really well in theme and stunning.

As a few police officers from the last shift we entered the bar, had a coffee and heard there was a problem.

As good officers we went to check what the issues were of course.

In Athens there are such a lot of games focusing on a specific aspect of horror, jump scares, and the decor is taken less care of.

In this room this is absolutely not true and they took such good care of the decor finishing and polishing every single corner possible. The decor is absolutely stunning!

The puzzles/tasks in this room were clear and fitted the gameflow really well. Everything is well thought through and considered.

No weird puzzles or game killing tasks.

The music and the lights in this room were perfect! The music is loud but never TOO loud. It works and it fits the theme.
