Few weeks ago me and my group of friends came to Budapest especially to play escape games. We planned to play 2 rooms by Mystique Room, but ended up getting so excited we followed up with one more. Smart puzzle design was presented through out all 3 games, each brought at least one completely new approach we haven't seen before. Moreover, the vertical division in Pirate Bay is just such a brilliant idea. The only bigger downside would be Pirate bay having really weak finnish as it basically closes with a searching puzzle and those can get super frustrating and just completelly kill the flow and the build up the game created up to that point. Game visuals in Time Machine and Pirate Bay absolutelly excelent. I personally especially enjoyed Pirate Bay with attention to detail going as far as the sky and the water. The Shogun's Shadow was a bit weaker as the visuals weren't very consistent but they were still one of the best ones we have seen in Budapest. The stories and the briefing by the employees were lacking a bit and it's such a shame, as the rooms are otherwise superb. It would be great if the story presented before the game was a bit more immersive and set the mood for the game instead of just feeling like mandatory information to pass on. Other than that the staff was nice and welcoming and were always willing to help us when we needed it. Personally I wasn't the biggest fan of the traditional walkie talkie hint system as it really doesn't fit the stories of the games in any way so it takes you out of the experience a bit. For me Time Machine was the best while the Shogun's shadow felt a bit repetitive and too reliant on padlocks so I enjoyed that one the least. Nevertheless, overal we had a great time and will quite likely be back for more! Thank you for the fun :)

We’ve played around 80 rooms of varying size & design- but most haven’t compared to Mystique! We did Shogun’s Shadow, Alice, Time Machine & Pirate Bay, all as a pair, & thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The sheer size and build of Pirate Bay is mind boggling, Alice is a treasure trove for the senses (although was let down slightly by 1 puzzle not working) & we loved the variety of puzzle types in Shogun’s Shadow with its emphasis on some of the more traditional elements of escape rooms rather than being all tech driven. All in all we were wowed by Mystique & would heartily recommend it.

We went as a team-building experience, booking two of the same rooms (the Pharaoh-inspired ones) so that we could "compete" against each other. It was super fun - so much so, that we decided we'd like to do it again soon. I highly recommend the Mystique Room to do together with friends, family or colleagues.
