beautifulhi-techstory-drivenquite difficult

Good things: Cool theme, lots of rooms, cool puzzles, super immersive, some really cool decorations/props. The rooms respond very well to everything you do, and there are surprising mechanics.


Less good things: Not a fan of hints through a walkie-talkie (sometimes difficult to understand). There was maybe a bit too many puzzles where you had to use a computer. 


Story/Theme: You're inside an AI corporation, and suddenly the AI begins to control everything around you. You have to shut down the system. I love these kinds of dystopian sci-fi universes.


Puzzles: I liked most of the puzzles. They felt high-tech, and the room responded in a super cool way when you solved something. The difficulty was pretty high, which led to some frustration at times, though I think only one instance was due to poor puzzle design. The puzzles were not linear, making the experience dynamic but also more challenging.


Room/Decorations: Super cool. I liked how clean it starts (clinic white room) , and then the atmosphere changes with lights turning on and off/changing colour and different rooms opening up. I loved the different themes/vibes of each room. It felt very corporate, as it was supposed to. I liked the AI voice that occasionally spoke in the background, potentially giving hints about what to do next.


Hosting/Company/Hints: The staff was super friendly and helpful. However, I wasn't a big fan of getting hints through a walkie-talkie. 


Difficulty: Very difficult.

immersivestory-drivenillogicalquite difficult

Good things: Cool theme, nice atmosphere, immersive, cool rooms and decorations, good story 


Less good things: Not a fan of hints through a walkie-talkie (sometimes difficult to understand). Small room (only two small rooms). Not always a fan of how the room responded when solving a puzzle (not clear what it unlocked)


Story/Theme: You're inside a submarine and has to escape before the air runs out. I loved this theme 


Puzzles: I liked most of the puzzles but there was a few I didn't like. Also a few of the puzzles were the same which I thought was a little frustrating and boring. I didn't like that it wasn't always clear what a puzzle unlocked. 


Room/Decorations: Super cool but a little too small. It felt very much like a submarine which I liked. 


Hosting/Company/Hints: The staff was super friendly and helpful. However, I wasn't a big fan of getting hints through a walkie-talkie. We got frustrated with the communication because we couldn't hear/understand the instructions


Difficulty: Very difficult. A little frustrating because it wasn't always clear what was unlocked when you solved a puzzle. 


Photos: You are not allowed to take photos while playing, but you can have a team photo inside the room at the end.

Good things: Most of the puzzles were fun and creative.


Less good things: The experience wasn't very immersive. The mechanics felt a bit heavy, and the room was worn out. You had to be very precise when solving puzzles. We were somewhat disappointed, especially after having tried their renowned Secret Subway Escape Room.


Story/Theme: The theme was Santa Muerte,  the Mexican Day of the Dead. While it had great potential, it wasn't executed very well.


Puzzles: Most of the puzzles were enjoyable and creative, though there were a few that I didn't like. The book provided at the beginning was meant to help solve some puzzles and keep track of time, but the timer didn’t work. The book contained pieces of paper with hints, which felt very low-tech. It could have been much cooler if the book had been more magical, such as a tablet that updated as we solved the puzzles. Additionally, the puzzles had to be solved in a linear way, which made it a bit boring. I prefer when multiple puzzles can be worked on simultaneously.


Room/Decorations: I was disappointed with the room design. It didn't feel like it was of high quality, and much of it seemed homemade. While there were a few cool details, the overall experience was lacking. The animals printed on the walls were of poor quality and appeared pixelated, which detracted from the immersion.


Hosting/Company/Hints: The staff was friendly. However, the method for getting hints was very manual—you had to speak up or wave at the cameras. I prefer systems where you can press a button or use other automated methods to receive hints.


Difficulty: The difficulty is rated 3/5 on their website, which seems accurate. The puzzles weren't overly challenging, but sometimes extra time was needed because of the need for precision.


Photos: You are not allowed to take photos while playing, but you can have a team photo inside the room in the end.

originalplainvery difficult😨creepy

We only got 60 minutes. I don't know why it says you have 90 minutes here.

Good things: A cool atypical room. I liked the "high koncept" theme of having an all white room. I also liked a lot of the puzzles as long as you are okay with most of them being "IQ test" kind of puzzles. 


Less good things: I think the room was a little worn. It could have been better build to give the impressive "all white room" feeling. The mechanics felt a little "heavy" but they worked as intended. If you have tried some of the other extremely immersive and beautiful escape rooms on Budapest this might feel a little dull (but try it anyway - it's fun to try something new) 


Story/theme: The theme of an all white room was super cool. It didn't need a story 


Puzzles: All puzzles were made so you had to think very logical and mathematical. Most of the puzzles were great. There was maybe 1-2 that were not to my liking. I felt a little frustrated at times but I think it was because of the difficulty and not because of the design of the puzzles. Some padlocks and keys in this room. 


Room/decorations: Cool but with potential for improvement. It felt a little worn and could use a touch up. I loved the idea of having an all white room which will slowly transform while solving the puzzles. 


Hosting/company/hints: Sweet staff. I was not a fan of the hint system. You have to push a button to get manual help. It was a little difficult to hear the instructions over the speaker some times. We got 2 hints. 


Difficulty: 10/10 on their website. I would definitely say that it was one of the harder escape rooms I've tried. We didn't make it and missed maybe 2-3 of the last puzzles to get out. Even though it was hard I still liked the puzzles. 


Photos: You are allowed to take photos inside the rooms while playing and they will also take a team picture in the end if you ask.

beautifulbad puzzlesquite difficult

Good things: Cool theme, I liked the wands, beautiful rooms which were definitely of a high quality build. 


Less good things: Sadly not the best room from Neverland. We have tried 4 other rooms from this company and they were all amazing so this room was kind of disappointing compared to the others. 


Story/theme: The theme was Wizard Trials and I'm a big Harry Potter fan so I was super excited for this theme. It was okay but I think they could have done more to emphasize the magical universe. 


Puzzles: It was a 3rd generation room but honestly I think that the mechanisms felt a little heavy... Not faulty (they worked as intended) but sometimes too difficult to interpret what was meant to be done. 3 of the puzzles were "read symbols" mechanisms and 2 other puzzles were "trial and error" mechanisms. Also a few locks. They had a few cool puzzles but sadly the rest were not to my liking because they felt heavy and not that logical.


Room/decorations: Nice build but I think they could have done much more to make it feel magical. It had so much potential but really missed something. I would have loved to feel more like I was doing magic with the wands. They could have used smoke, shaking walls or objects, flashing light or other cool mechanisms. The Aztec room by the same company was a very cool example on how to make a room feel magical. 


Hosting/company: I love Neverland. It's such a cozy place in the basement and it's also a really nice bar. When you finish a room you unlock a special cocktail which is also a fun detail. Hints work great through a screen in the room. 


Difficulty: It's 4,5/5 on the website which means it's the most difficult room from this company. It was definitely more difficult than the 4 others we've tried. 


Photos: You are allowed to take photos inside the rooms while playing and they will also take a team picture in the end if you ask.

beautifulimmersiveepic😨creepy

Good things: One of the most beautiful and atmospheric rooms I've ever tried. You have to use your senses in this room a lot which is super cool. The light is very dim and you'll walk around with lanterns all the time which makes the experience very immersive. 


Less good things: Nothing. It was perfect 


Story/theme: The theme/story was amazing. The best escape room in terms of theme I've ever tried. You a locked inside an Aztec pyramide and have to solve puzzles to find the secrets about the pyramide. The room is so beautiful and extremely atmospheric. You really feel like you're underground. The room reacts so cool when you solve the puzzles - opening secret stone walls, letting out smoke, shaking etc. You feel like you are inside a movie like Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones. 


Puzzles: Amazing 3rd generation puzzles. So many creative but still logical puzzles. They were extremely fun to solve. The room responded quick and very well when you solved a puzzle. No padlock at all! 


Room/decorations: Amazing. I've never seen anything like it before. So beautiful and well done. So atmospheric. 


Hosting/company: I love Neverland. It's such a cozy place in the basement and is also a really nice bar. When you finish a room you unlock a special cocktail which was also a fun detail.

Good things: Definitely one of the best rooms I've ever tried. Amazing room with so many cool 3rd generation mechanisms I've never seen before 


Less good things: Nothing. It was perfect 


Story/theme: You have to rob a bank and in the process destroy the defence mechanisms inside the bank and find some information on an agent with access to one of the vaults. It was such a cool and immersive theme and you really felt the excitement while progressing. 


Puzzles: Amazing 3rd generation puzzles. So many creative but still logical puzzles. They were extremely fun to solve. You get a briefcase in the beginning with a lot of cool gadgets which really make you feel like a secret agent. 


Room/decorations: Amazing. I've never seen anything like it before. The escape room just continued to open more rooms and blew my mind with smoke, lasers and much more.

Good things: Amazing room with such a cool theme and atmosphere. Super exciting story and very immersive experience. Beautiful/cool decorations, music/sounds that matches the atmosphere and extremely cool puzzles. Would definitely recommend this room/company to everyone who wants to try a next level escape room in Budapest


Less good things: Nothing. This escape room was everything I hoped for.


Story/theme: Save the Chernobyl power plant from destroying Europe. Super cool and exciting story which had a really good build up in excitement. Very immersive. 


Puzzles: Super fun and cool 3rd generation puzzles. No padlock at all! I loved that you could solve a lot of them in whatever order you'd prefer but it still felt logical. Multiple puzzles I've never seen before.


Room/decorations: It was all perfect. 2 really cool rooms where everything felt like a true atomic power plant with light, buttons and all kind af tech. The sounds and music emphasized the atmosphere very well. 


Hosting/company: I love Neverland. It's such a cozy place in the basement and is also a really nice bar. When you finish a room you unlock a special cocktail which was also a fun detail.

value for moneyfamily friendlycool theme

Good things: Cool theme. I love everything with zombies. I liked the room that felt very much like a zombie movie where you have to find shelter before it gets dark and all the zombies get out. Some puzzles were super fun and clever. The room was big and opened up for many new rooms. The decorations were also cool.  I loved how the room was in more levels and you had to crawl up on things. 

Less good: I wish they embraced the creepy zombie universe better. It could have been much more scary/exciting which would have made it more fun. Also more music or scary sounds would have helped. It was quiet most of the time and you could hear a lot of noises from outside the room or from other rooms which ruined the immersiveness in the experience . 

Puzzles: Overall fun puzzles and some new ones I've never seen. Maybe 1/3 of the puzzles were keys/padlock. There was also one particular puzzle (no spoiler but it had something to do with a barrel) that worked really bad. We asked about it afterwards and it seemed like everyone is struggling with it because it's unlogical and faulty. 

Difficulty: I think it was as described. It was not too difficult and very logical in what order you had to solve the puzzles. All objects that you couldn't use to solve any puzzles were fixated which made it much easier to solve (but maybe also a little boring). 

Hosting: The hosting was good. The hint and guidance worked well. The game master was sweet and helpful. Her name was Zsu. 

In summary: Fun theme, many rooms, some really fun puzzles. A few faulty puzzles. Could have been more exciting/scary and more immersive.

The first escape room I tried from the Chamber and I was really surprised with how beautiful and well done it was. The medical torture dungeon was so cool and you really felt like going back to another time. The acting from the dungeon master (Renata) was phenomenal and the way they had integrated the hints in form of the voice of another prisoner was super clever. Overall an amazing and very story driven  escape room experience which made us immediately want to try another escape room from the Chamber (we did the Poltergeist II afterwards and oh boy we were in for a treat).

Thanks to Reneta and the Chamber for this fun and challenging experience.

immersiveintenseepic💀extreme fear

Amazing experience if you like to get a good scare. Definitely the most scary escape room experience I've ever had. Everything was so well planned out... The timing of the jump scares, how the light and mechanics worked beautifully together. You felt like you were inside a real scary movie.

We were two players and it was perfect. The puzzles were at a really good difficulty (not too hard) because everything becomes so much more difficult when you run around in the darkness filled with anxiety.

Do yourself a favor and try this escape room out... But be prepared to get scared a lot!

The game masters were Sarah and Kuba and they were both amazing! Thanks for giving us such a unique experience.

broken techpoor hostingunoriginal

Not a very good escape room.

The puzzles were quiet boring and most of them were written on small wrinkled paper notes. 

But the worst part was when we had to ask for hints. We were told that the game master could see us all the time and if we wanted hints all of us should do a dance to the camera. But we tried several times to dance but nothing happened. We danced and danced and it felt so cringe... And we never got any hints!  We wasted so much time because of this and in the end we didn't make it.

originalfunnyintensevery difficult

First of all - the red room was super fun and I had a realy great experience with this escape room. The mechanisms were super cool and nothing like anything I've ever tried before which made it a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend The Red Room.

But I also have some complaints: First we were teamed up with another group making us 6 people in total. My boyfriend and I are used to doing escape rooms on our own and even though we had a great cooperation with the others, the room was just too small for so many people (in my opinion). I would have preferred to be 2-4 people in the room. Second you only have 30 minutes to escape. And it's not enough. You can buy 10 more minutes for 800 yen per person if you don't solve it, so be prepared to pay for the extra time because you won't escape in only 30 minutes. 

Beside of that definitely a super fun room I would recommend if you're ever in Tokyo
