The first room we took on at E-Exit in Budapest and what a start it was! With it being a 75 minute room, you can already imagine that there will be more to do in here that an average escape room and to a degree you are right. However, with the sheer size of the game and the different zones you have to pass through, 75 minutes feels fair. There’s a reason why this room is voted as a Tripadvisor number 1 room!!! If you do only one room in Budapest, it has to be this one.
Despite us still being on a high following the previous room (Secret Subway), despite not being as god aesthetically, we did still enjoy it. It was a different theme than what we have done before and we all did find it quite challenging in places. The room is rated as a 5/5 difficulty, which we feel is a little high but it is still quite challenging. If you are a relatively small experienced team visiting Budapest, give it a go.
With this being the first of 5 games we attempted in a couple of days in Budapest, we weren’t too sure what to expect, it is the home of the original escape room! Well, we were very glad we tried Locked as our first point ion call. There are 2 sites in Budapest with a combined total of 14 rooms to choose from. Metro is a very good start to dip your toe in and experience what Budapest bas to offer.
With this being our second room completed with Locked in Budapest, it is clear to see why the city is voted as one of the best in the world for escape room games. The amount of detail put into this room and also our previous room (Metro) was extremely impressive. You can tell that the staff care abut what they door and are willing you on throughout your stay with them. Escobar was on paper one of their more difficult rooms but we thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.
For whatever reason, this room just didn’t fit with us as a team. You can tell a lot of effort had been put into the design and the puzzles and this shouldn’t be taken away from the room, even though it just wasn’t for us. Wether is doing 5 rooms in 2 days had taken it out of us or not, we don’t know. We felt as if we has to ask for a lot of clues, probably the most we’ve had to ask for in all of the 40 odd rooms we have done and for this reason it was really stop start. Locked do some very good rooms and this may well be one of them for others giving it a go but you might struggle if you aren’t used to escape rooms.
With this being our first game oversees, we don’t think we could have picked a worse room to try. We were lured in with the over 18 rating and we paid the price. In our opinion, the room needs a complete face lift and you could have made it over 18 without being as crass as it was. We were so glad we booked a second room with ExitRoom straight afterwards to give them another go because if we had just stuck with this one, we would have not returned.
We were so glad we tried Wonderland after the disaster of Sex mission previously. Credit to ExitRoom for a truly brilliant room that has remained in our top 5 out of 30 rooms we have tried. The decoration alone is brilliant but the puzzles and flow of the games were really enjoyable and this out faith back in doing more rooms with them on future travels across Europe. If you are in Krakow and you are struggling for which room to pick out of ExitRoom’s selection, we recommend Wonderland!
