About the escape room

You are on a mission from the Vatican as exorcists and have been sent to a secluded monastery to save the world from disaster.

Several years ago, a young monk in this monastery became possessed by a demon after reading a satanic book. The brotherhood managed to imprison the possessed monk within the monastery – and now they need your help!

A sinister, dark force seals the exit. The only way to get out of here is to defeat the demon. You have one hour before the dark force devours you, and then not even your faith can save you.

Gloomy monastery setting, tight puzzles, and an attentive team — this is a punchy hour of tension, not a funfair. Surprisingly smooth for beginners and families, too.

AI Overview

AIMost praise the coherent atmosphere and logically built, modern puzzles. The team is considered very friendly and gives helpful hints, so newcomers get through well. Several mention that the start can be a bit bumpy, but you quickly get into it. Value for money is seen positively and many want to return.

WeaknessesSome felt a bit disoriented at the beginning and needed hints. Without tips it can feel slow at first. Reservation is strongly recommended, otherwise you might not get a slot.

StrengthsStrong ambience that credibly carries the monastery theme. Puzzles are logical and work reliably. Hosting is warm and attentive, with hints arriving at the right time.

SecurityThe briefing is described as good, and the staff are approachable at all times. Overall, the process feels organized and safe.

Level of fearThe theme is dark and occult, but reports say kids had fun too; an 11-year-old mastered the game with her mother. There is creepiness, but it feels family-friendly.

Actors' gameNo indications of live acting. Interaction runs through the friendly team, which gives tips when needed.

Quality of riddlesThe puzzles are described as coherent, modern, and well maintained. Some groups need a nudge at the start; after that, a clean flow unfolds. Fair, easy to follow, and varied.

PlotYou are exorcists in a cursed monastery and must defeat the dark force within 60 minutes. Tension comes from the setting and time pressure, without unnecessary distractions.

Difficulty levelMedium difficulty with a slightly steeper start; doable with hints. Suitable for beginners and families, while experienced players will find a solid flow.

Great fun for everyone. Locked in small rooms for an hour, solved many puzzles, and the team helped promptly with any questions. Good value for money, and you should definitely make a reservation. We’ll be back.

Tech was solid, puzzles logical, barely made it at the end — heart rate up, spirits too. One hint came a bit late, otherwise top-notch.

We played The Monastery: very coherent; we only needed help once. Modern, well-functioning puzzles and a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to the next rooms.

We went in with two friends; briefly disoriented at first, then everything clicked. One hint was enough; after that it went smoothly. Solid room, fair and cohesive.
