Verone: Don’t Take A Breath

This room has gone straight into my top 3 in almost 200 rooms. My favourite in Athens. I had watched the film 3 times, and the set is impeccably true to the film. Usually I would walk into a scary room feeling on edge, however, I felt an instant sense of familiarity and was put at ease. I was itching to get started and was (for the first time ever) excited to explore a creepy room. Usually I’m found glued to a corner for the first 10 minutes, but this room was different. This room is different to a typical escape room as there is lots of props and you truly feel like you are in the man’s home. 

It’s true what reviews say, there aren’t many ‘typical puzzles’. You’d think after nearly 200 rooms we would be disappointed, this was definitely not the case. The room is mostly task based and at no point did we find ourselves bored. We are eager to find our next task based room as this really was my favourite escape room experience. 

The acting is perfect and really keeps you on your toes. There is no need to run, but I did out of excitement. You’re not chased but you have a perfect amount of anxiety placed on you.  

The scale and set-design is beautiful and seamless (which I’ve only said about 15 rooms). Whilst typing this i am sad that I will not be able to experience this again for the first time as this truly was an exceptional experience for both of us. We stayed up until 3am discussing the room and still can’t stop! 

Yes, the location is a bit far out but YOU MUST PLAY THIS! There is a taxi service you can use to book taxis so it really is simple to get to and from.
