“I am the Bob, who arrested plenty of rascals. I can remember the time when I spied on thieves in Prague’s Žižkov. The place was rotten – thefts, muggings, murders in the daylight. There were spots, where was better not to go, but I loved the job and the place. That year I worked as a lieutenant in the police district. These were the days. My memory is not any good anymore and a lot of cases are blurred, but I can still remember clearly this one……

It was one of the first spring days. Girls started to wear short skirts and jumpers. That evening we almost finished our shift. There were some rookies with me in the station and I was looking forward to have a shot with them in a local pub. This idea was stopped by a ringing phone. I answered – it was from the head office, they spoke about a horrible murder in a park. Having no other choice, I took the rookies to their first case meanwhile I could have a few glasses.”

story-drivenepicdangerousquite difficult

A really challenging experience with lots of multi step puzzles packed in to the seemingly never ending space. Lots of clever puzzles and we really enjoyed how these helped to deliver the storyline clearly. The entry to one of the spaces seemed quite dangerous to me as it was very dark and quite easy to fall- this area could’ve benefitted from more light for safety / being able to see the puzzles better but I understand how this was atmospheric and fit the theme. Our host Anna was brilliant at giving exactly the right clues when needed!

The "room" (more like a building!) is very big.Lots of puzzles.The room isn't in the best condition, but it's fine.An air of creepiness throughout.Not really any thought to health and safety - I actually left the room with a few cuts. Not the end of the world, though.Would recommend if you're in Prague.

While a 99 minute room may be a bit daunting, we had tons of fun with this. Even if you can see the age showing a bit, the location the room was set in was superb. Another case of not knowing where we were going to end up next.

So many layers to this game - epic, immersive and big. We felt properly like police officers. While the production quality was slightly lower than others, the game made up for it by being so varied and fun.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Three of the highlight games of the trip, EscapeX: Pragueception, Chess Key Room and the Padlock: Mission 53 all had stunning sets. The puzzle quality might not have been as consistent in them but it was good enough to keep you engaged once you’d stopped being distracted by how pretty they were.
