    An excellent escape room experience
    My friends and I had a fantastic time exploring “The Mansion” on a visit to Athens! It had an engaging storyline, a detailed environment, many interesting puzzles, and we really appreciated the phone as a means of communication in case we needed hints or some gentle redirection. Our gamemaster had an excellent sense of humour and really enhanced the experience for us through the phone messaging system and the 3 hours flew by before we knew it!

    My new favourite escape room!
    7 of us did 'The Music Academy' escape room whilst on holiday in Athens. I have done about 30 escape rooms before and this is my new favourite room! The 3 hours flies by and you are given the option of a break during the game (which we took and would recommend taking). The hosts are lovely, friendly and have perfect English. The room was very innovative and we will definitely be back to do more of their rooms when we are next in Athens!

    An amazing series of experiences
    I am confident in sharing my opinion after having completed the full paradox project experience (Mansion,Bookstore and Music Academy). Every story was enjoyable and quite fun, so much so that I wish I could experience it once again as if I never did before. All the group members were immersed and challenged at a degree which called us to use as much skill and brainpower as possible. All the game masters were glad to make our experience unique and answer any of our questions after each game. The professionalism demonstrated by the Paradox team, before,during and after the game amazed me. I hope that every team that chooses to experience this will have fond memories and endless fun just like we did.

    Awesome
    Me and my boyfriend played all 3 paradox rooms and they were great. Very well thought stories, with thematic puzzles that were also smart and logical (both automatic and with locks). Very big and beautiful spaces and surprises during the games. The hosts (Dimitris and Virginia) were really nice, they adapted to our needs (especially to the fact that we were a team of only two people) and were constantly in touch with us to help with what was needed. We definitely recommend playing these games if you come here. And we are looking forward to their 4th game.

    Best Escape room in the world
    I have done well over 100 escape rooms in 4 countries and 8 U.S. states. Paradox Project is by far the best escape room company I have been to. They have the best puzzles of any escape room company I have been to by far, and have amazing sets, art, and narrative in addition. Regina was the best game master I have ever had, and Dimitris went above and beyond as an owner, helping with recommendations for other companies, local food, and other things to do while visiting the city. The rooms are long and difficult, so be ready for a challenge. But if you are up for it, then it will be one of the best experiences of your life. I will fly around the world for Paradox Project 4 when it comes out.

    A must visit if you do escape rooms!
    Well what can I say…awesome visit and we did all 3 over 3 days. Maybe slightly mad but why not?! We started off with their newest game The Music Academy, and some of the puzzles in there are just brilliant! We did The Mansion and its follow up The Bookstore and wow, mind blowing. The Bookstore is our favourite now and I commend them for some of the puzzles which have to be some of the best in the world. We were thinking of coming back to Athens (to do the bits we missed when doing escape rooms!) and we’ll definitely be visiting your next one :)

    Best Escape Rooms in Europe
    The Paradox Project Escape Rooms are some of the best in the world. The time and energy put into the rooms by the creators is clear from the moment you enter. The puzzles are challenging and original. The whole experience is so immersive. I would highly recommend all their rooms.

This review goes for "the mansion". I would like to give the room 4 stars as it`s very original and nicely made. The room lasts for three hours which is a very cool experience. The room as actually an entire apartment! This is the first room in a series and the later rooms are probably better as they are from a more recent date, but I would highly consider starting your journey with "the mansion".

the puzzles were top notch and boy were there a lot of them. there was enough help that we never felt lost, but the rooms were well directed in a way that made help be more necessary for very specific things, if at all. the ONLY issue with our experience was that the room was 3 hours, which would normally be fine...but we booked a room at 10 pm the night before an early morning flight. if we'd been aware of that, it might have been the single best escape room i've ever done, and i've done a lot. excellently challenging, lots to do (we took a bit over the allotted three hours with a very experienced group), enough help that it wasn't frustrating.

We played the Mansion and loved it so much that we immediately booked the Bookstore for the next day. The escape rooms are amazing!
We’ve played our fair share of escape rooms and can honestly say these are in our top 5. They have everything; great ambiance, sheer size, intelligent puzzles and not in the least an enthusiastic and super friendly staff.
Sorry for all the superlatives, but we loved it! Thank you, Dimitris (and Paris for coming early!)

On a holiday to Rhodes last year we were recommended Paradox Esacpe Rooms. Therefore one of our main reasons for visiting Athens was to do the escape room.
It definitely did not disappoint, we loved that it was 3 hours long, these sort of escape rooms are soo hard to come by! We’ve completed over 30 escape rooms and this one is definitely one of the best!
The price is brilliant, so cheap for a 3 hour room.
We did it as a team of 6, we all absolutely loved the escape room!!
Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back to do your 2 other rooms!
