A thrilling story that takes place inside an alchemy lab, in the dungeons of King's Landing! Solve the puzzles in time and find the wildfire potion! Be a hero, save the kingdom! Inspired by Game of Thrones” — read more
Mission
Baratheon’s fleet is attacking King’s Landing. He gathered the biggest fleet ever seen, and we dont have enough canons or men to defeat them.
The only chance to save the city is to destroy the fleet using the wildfire brewed by Grand Meister Hallyne, the pyromancer, but the damn old man hid himself somewhere in the dungeon. A frightened old fart!
Tyrion, the King’s Hand, gave you a magic potion that, after you drank it, gave you the ability to telephatically control Sir Dontos, the city’s fool, around the alchemy lab in order to locate the wildfire!
Do it in time and save the Kingdom!

An excellent game with an EXCELLENT GM avatar. The puzzles are varied and challenging, extremely well in the theme of the room storyline. We played virtually and only wish we could have been there in-person to enjoy this wonderful room. Highly recommended! (We are a couple from Finland, have played over 70 rooms around the world)

Very fun Remote Escape room.
Probably more fun in-person as the first half of it is search oriented.
Would've loved to do some of the interactions myself but c'est la vie

Play in the near future as it might close soon

As Game of Thrones fans, we really enjoyed this game. They have done an excellent job of using simple props to create a very atmospheric room.  Only 2 actual locks, which was refreshing!  The inventory system worked  well, and was not as generic as the standard Telescape interface.  We very much enjoyed playing with the drunken Ser Dontos--unlike some avatars who play a role, his engagement with the character didn't slow down the progress in the room, which I really appreciated.  Highly recommended!  BTW, Game of Thrones knowledge is not strictly needed.  We were faster on one puzzle because we didn't need to look some information up, but that information was available.

A fantastic immersive experience made by the host who throws himself into the role as the Avatar. I would highly recommend this to anyone who fancies a fun night in with friends. If you're game of thrones fan it is a must, although no knowledge of the show is required to enjoy the experience or solve the puzzles.

A must-do room for GOT fans. But even if you don't know the show it's a fun theme. Clever puzzles, good set, lots to do, variety of puzzles. Really good value for money.

First time trying an escape room and it was fantastic, the game master was very funny and helpful, giving little nudges when we seemed to be going in the wrong direction

I did this live escape room with friends on Friday and it's the best virtual one we have done! Last week we played another escape room game, but it just gave you a bunch of PDFs. This one was much better because you have a staff in the live room showing you the objects, room, and guiding you through the puzzles without giving too much away. It was really fun to be able to see the same thing as your teammates. Also, everyone on the staff that I spoke to was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're stuck in quarantine!

Dubrovnik is where many of the Game of Thrones exterior shots were filmed.  Not really relevant to this game; just thought you should know.

A better than average Game of Thrones room -- probably more fun for a fan with lots of callouts and an in-character GM -- that played as an alchemy-lab room. Uses a code-keyword inventory-management system.

Last game on our brief trip to Belfast and not sure whether our expectations were too high (huge GOT fans) or maybe we were comparing it to the highs of the other games we'd played in the city but this experience fell pretty flat. Lovely host but as regards the game there was simply no intensity or excitement to match the theme. Decor was pretty basic and the entire experience takes place in just one room. There were a couple of interesting puzzles but not enough to save the overall experience.   I guess this is personal taste but "one room" escape games come across as quite cheap and should probably be extinct (especially in 2024) as they lose out in one of the most exciting parts of experience - the transitions.  This game would have been great 5 years ago but escape rooms have moved on.

Awesome immersive room for fans of Game of Thrones! Some really unique props and puzzles with a great finale. We played as an experienced team of 4 (2 experienced + 2 beginners) and had a lot of fun, even the player who doesn't know GOT. Awesome hosting and communication and you can really see the love they put into the game. Thanks, Bogdan!

The room is (wonderfully) Game of Thrones-themed, jam-packed full of suitable props, clues and puzzles. Thankfully, as is now the trend it seems, there is an online inventory system which allows everyone to access the different clues however they want and works very well along side a 360 camera shot of the room with a zoom-in function to examine the room features in more detail. As such the best way to experience this room is via split screen or dual screen set-up with the Zoom view in one and the inventory/360 view in the other. The room is physically located in Dubrovnik but that makes zero difference to the experience given that it is Zoom based. Our host, Bogdan, was helpful, incredibly friendly and accomodating with his schedule and plays his avatar character well in-game. The puzzle flow design is linear for this room. If we were there in person that would not have been ideal but it is very well suited to Zoom-based rooms as we only have one set of hands and eyes via our avatar. The actual puzzle design was top quality, nothing enormously taxing but there are lots of puzzles that are satisfying to solve and many of them were genuinely original, hand-crafted and very well made.Due to some late drop-outs we ended up with a team of 4 and a team of 3 but these possibly represent ideal team sizes - my guess is a team of 2 is also perfectly feasible as might be 5 but I would not go above that. Both teams finished in around 44 mins which is apparently better than average so I'm sure some will go to the wire getting it finished. The cost is €50-€60 per room or session (i.e. €10-€15 per person for my lot), above other UK/EU rooms we've tried but when I asked them every one of my club's participants believed it was worth it given the quality of room and entertainment provided. Definitely recommended.

A Game of Thrones Escape Room, in the same city where some of it was filmed!  What GoT fan could pass this up.  As before, any explicit GoT knowledge is not needed but you will recognise some of the imagery and ideas.  Some incredibly clever puzzles guided by the Avatar of Ser Dondas who stayed in hilarious character the whole time, recommended.

Reviews by escape room review sites

With the 360 view, the inventory, and Sir Dontos, we had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay in King’s Landing and came away from this game with that wonderful escape room buzz
Today our escape adventure takes us to Dubrovnik in Croatia. Ok, we're staying home in real life but are still able to travel, because this is an online escape with an avatar (this means that the GM holds a camera and acts as your hands and eyes for you).We receive by email a zoom link and a link to a website. A player will enter given codes as we explores the site and everyone will have access to a view of the different rooms with the possibility to enlarge some "corners" and an inventory in...

This second game of our evening was, overall, more enjoyable than the first. The GoT theme is always fun to play in, the room looked nice, the puzzles made sense (plus there were very few "actual locks" around), and this time the 360° viewer was the genuine thing. My fellow players seemed to enjoy their experience. I, however, knew something they didn't...

Overall we really enjoyed this experience, the live host/avatar was friendly and helpful getting us through the game, and the virtual game play worked flawlessly for us. We managed to escape with about 15 minutes to spare which we think was really impressive, considering the volume and variety of puzzles to solve. Playing a virtual game with the same point of view means each person gets to experience the whole game, rather than playing physically where you split off and end up missing parts of it that others have solved. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the game.


Ser Dontos Saves Kings Landing!

Dubrovnik's first escape room draws on the city's alter ego as King's Landing in Game of Thrones, and while you don't need any knowledge of the TV series or books, fans will enjoy the references to events in those.

Stepping into this room gave a rare impression of space. Most escape rooms are on the cramped side, and it's unusual to have the luxury of being able to use floor space for spreading out clues while still having plenty of room to walk around.

The operators gave warning up front both...

A really fun escape room. The puzzles were very clever and enjoyable to solve, and it required a real mix of thought patterns to get through it. Definitely a great experience if you’re a Game of Thrones fan visiting Dubrovnik.
