Themed rooms with very dedicated employees and a high attention to detail. The room (Ice Kingdom) was challenging and fun, and we absolutely loved the decorations. Especially the temperature meter that turned out to be our timer was a wonderful idea! It was a bit unusual to open the doors before all mysteries in a given room had been solved, but after getting the hang of it it was very fun and definitely set it apart from other rooms and experiences.
We also loved Simen's witty explanations at the start, he was very funny and seemed absolutely delighted to guide us. He was also very great with the hints, giving us exactly what we needed and not being afraid to tell us we should search somewhere we had already cast aside for the last 10 minutes. tldr: super detailed, spot on hints, and he knew exactly when we were getting frustrated rather than just curious and trying out options.

We had the best time in the submarine espace room! The kids loved it (10 and 13 years old) and were able to contribute as much as the adults. It was challenging but doable, which is what we were looking for in an escape room game. The reason why I prefer this site over others in Oslo is because of how clean, well organized, and challenging their rooms are. Our host William was great and even allowed us to get started early as we arrived a bit in advance of our scheduled start time.

We tried the ice Kingdom room, and it was awesome. The props are great, the difficulty is balanced, and none of those annoying coded lock puzzles.
The gamemaster, Mona, was right on top of our progress and gave us a nudge in the right direction just when we needed it. All in all, great time!

We did the submarine room, which was pretty cool in itself. Decent variety of puzzles, most of which are easy to solve. A fair bit of misdirection too. The steering puzzle could've been better, it was very fiddly.
The experience was massively let down by the game hosts who were obviously not paying attention. We received a hint in the first room, 5 minutes after we found the piece they hinted about, so completely useless. And in the final room we were stuck for a good 15 minutes on one puzzle and were trying to solve the next one ( which wasn't active yet) because we didn't see a hidden screen. It took atleast 5 minutes after giving up and asking for a hint before it was received, at the end we were just standing there asking if anyone was watching... We had also booked the room in English and most of the audio played was in norwegian. Thankfully we solved the room, but it really soured the experience. When apparently everyone needs a hint on that puzzle you should atleast be watching so you can give it at the right time.

Hi Jeanette!
Thank you so much for taking time to write a review! We are very sorry the experience was disappointing, we always strive to meet your expectations. There were technical issues on the location this day, and it has therefore affected the service. The mistakes that was made have been looked into and we made sure it won’t happen again. Hope that refund you received compensated a bit for the disappointment. Thank you for letting us know so we can be better!
The room is for beginners so I’m sure one of the other rooms might be better for you guys if you want to visit us again - we hope you will!

Being speed demons. The place had different kinds of puzzles and not many lock and key puzzles which is always a plus. All the mechanisms worked and were properly ccared for so the puzzles worked as they should. Thank you Mathea for a wonderful experience.

Loved the place! The interior was fancy and the rooms really made you feels as if you really were where the room was placed. We tried the train, and it was crazy how it made you feel as if you really were on a train and tried to stop it from falling over! The tasks were also different from other places we’ve visited, but in a good way! It made it so much more fun, and it was really refreshing. We got good help from game master Lilly in the room, who helped us whenever we were stuck. The employees were super nice and helpful, and it made the whole experience a 10/10. Will definitely come again! Recommend every escape room enthusiast visiting Oslo to try their games

Completely immersive experience! Engaging puzzles, keep your attention until the very last second. The new room with submarine theme is thought through to the finest detail - top-notch interior, storyline and awe-inspiring surprise moments. Highly recommended

I have played over 15 games so far and worked in a escape room myself and this was easily among the top 5 games I have seen. The interior was very unsettling and thematicaly spot on, the puzzles were creative and not repetitive from other rooms I have been in. Overall very nice experience, definitely would recommend. Not to mention really helpfull and very nice gamemasters Hannah and Kristina. 5/5.

Did two different rooms over two days and had a great time. There's a great flow to the rooms and the whole experience makes you feel clever.
Big thanks to gamemasters Emilie and Simen who hosted us and did a wonderful job

A really good escape room experience, very close to the center of Oslo. The games are for sure challenging, but not so difficult as to be impossible. Just watch out for some unadvertised jump scares, if you're a little nervous!
A special mention for the gamemaqster, Mathea, who accommodated an English speaker in our group and gave a great introduction, as well as support throughout the game.
Will defnitely be back!

Hei, hva er aldersgrensen, og hvor mye koster det for 1, 2 eller 3 timer for to 13 åringer, er det skummelt?

My boyfriend and I are thinking of booking the Chernobyl room in the Oslo escape games. Do you recommend it for two people or will be struggle? Does it matter that we don’t speak Norwegian?
Thank you, Sophie

Hey Sophie!
We did it just 2 people and made it out in time. I've done maybe 10 rooms before this one and my boyfriend 5, so we're not super experienced but still know how it works. So I guess it depends on you how much of a struggle it will be. :)
We did it in english and it was no problem!

Vi er to familier, med 5 voksne og 4 barn på 10, 13, 14 og 15 år. Er de for små til å være med? Vil de evnt få noe utbytte av å være med? Hva er anbefalt inndeling av grupper når vi er så mange? Hva er prisen?
The_Escape_Games
Oslo, Norway5 contributions
Hei. Tusen takk for interessen for våre spill :) De yngre barna kan absolutt være med, og kommer til å ha det kjempegøy! :) Vi anbefaler å velge spillet Viruskrig Z for deres selskap. Dere kan spille alle samlet, men det beste ville vært å dele på to grupper. Da kan dere ta Tsjernobyl-spillet i tillegg. Det bør være voksne og eldre barn på akkurat dette spillet, fordi den inneholder noen litt skumle elementer. Hvis dere spiller på ett lag blir prisen 315 kr per pers. Hvis dere deler på to lag, blir prisen 342 kr per pers. Vi har 20% rabatt for barn tom. 14 år neste uke (bortsett fra lørdager) og på utvalgte tidspunkter etter det (man-tirs tom. spillet kl.14.30 og etter kl.20.30, ons-tors tom. spillet kl.14.30 og hele søndag). Hjertelig velkommen til oss! :D

Nei, det kreves ikke fysisk styrke eller god balanse her. Du kan forøvrig ikke lide av klaustrofobi (selv om man jo ikke er innestengt på «ordentlig», men det kan kanskje føles sånn hvis man lett får klaus).

Hi,
I am planning to go to Oslo in the next few days with some friends and wanted to know if you would suggest that we book a slot for one of the escape rooms or do you think it would be ok if we arrived and then book for the next day?
Thanks

Hei, jeg og noen andre jenter på 14-15 år har tenkt til å dra på the escape games. Men vi vet ikke om det er noe aldersgrense? Og om vi må ha med voksen? For det vil vi helst ikke :)

Oslo, Norway5 contributions
Hei :)
Ungdommer på 14 år må vanligvis spille med en voksen. Siden dere har flere som er 15 år, kan dere spille alene :) Skriv i kommentaren til bestillingen at dere fikk godkjent det.
Velkommen! :)
I want to know if there is a translation of the escape room game to spanish and how much it cost.
The_Escape_Games
Oslo, Norway5 contributions
There is translation in English but unfortunately not Spanish. The price depends on the number of players. For two people, it is 439 kr per person, for three people - 380 kr per person, for four people - 350 kr per person. You can see our complete price list on the website. Looking forward to welcoming you at our place :)
