- datanasov281 contributionMe and 5 friends visited the Indiana Jones room. It was fun, the puzzles made us think and feel smart once we acomplished them, we escaped succesfully while laughing a lot and cracking jokes. Slav, the boy who welcomed us and gave us isntructions, is a professional, very friendly, takes his job seriously, but also has a sense of humor. Would love to visit the other room as well !!Visited February 2025Written February 10, 2025
- FoxaboutHo Chi Minh City, Vietnam18 contributionsWe had a great experience for our daughter's 12th birthday at the Black Pearl Escape Way location. The staff were very responsive and helpful, including for a few special requests we had related to the menu. The kids loved the escape room itself as well as the game room afterwards (total of 3 hours). Maybe a little on the pricy side, but totally worth it as the company handled everything. Note that for a birthday, there is not a place for the parents to wait on site (but plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby). Would definitely recommend to others (especially if you are too busy to organize all the details of a birthday party). Big thanks to the Escape Way staff for your help!Visited November 2024Traveled with friendsWritten November 23, 2024
- Johannes N7 contributionsThe staff was very polite and helped us with clear instructions before the game. Big kudos to them. The room itself - Crystal Skull - is a very well built escape room, with great riddles. We played as a family, and would say the difficulty is medium - 6/10. Some may find some if the riddles a big hard, but then it's good the staff is can be helpful with hints. Overall a very nice experience. We had a really fun time, and would recommend the room. They even printed out a photo for souvenir to everyone in the family [6 people]Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 31, 2024
- Zlatina DSofia, Bulgaria99 contributionsThe escape room is very interesting 👌 It is related with the story of Indiana Jones. The riddles are logic and it's good to follow the instructions. During the game there are some helpful hints on the screen. Our team did a great job for 48min. I recommend it.Visited October 2024Traveled with friendsWritten October 16, 2024
- Duncan G7 contributionsHad a great time today with my 12 year old at the Black Pearl room. We were treated really nicely by the two lovely staff members who made the experience great, while also taking time to explain the rules. The game was completely engrossing for the two of us, and challenging enough for us to only just escape with 2 mins left ☺️Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 16, 2024
- Анна Н5 contributionsAmazing escape room experience with the greatest host Yoni! We were so excited to play this room. Really good decors, interesting puzzles, it would be nicer in the future to expand the room because the theme is a big one. Our host Yoni was really nice and funny, explained everything very well! Helped us to escape successfully :)Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 22, 2024
- Hristina H1 contributionBooking was quick and easy, the communication prior to the event was excellent, the experience onsite too. Super fun and engaging. The company representative Slav was a super kind and helpful host. Thank you, we had a blast! :)Visited October 2024Traveled with friendsWritten October 22, 2024

A lot of additional payments for party room, for animator which we don't need and if you bring with yourself even small bottle you will be charged 70 BGN. The party room itself is very small and you can only sit on the only table inside, there is no space for any party. The choice of food is very limited and expensive. You can play your music there, but have to be quiet because of the neighbours in the building. I don't recommend it for child's birthday party!

We visited an escape room called The crystal scull. we had two kids with us, that unexpectedly turned out to be better than us in escaping. I didn't know what is an escape room, but now I am a true fan. This was, undoubtedly, the BEST experience for the whole family. It was so whimsical and intrigue, that nobody noticed how those 50 minutes flew. I recommend this to everybody, at any age, that has the adventure in his/her heart and want to live like one of his movie characters!

It's 1942. The Crystal Skull is in danger of being found. The Beyond Time Guys team had arrived to this new and exciting place. After completing the mission here is what the oldest one had to say:
This was my first escape room experience and I loved it. Nicole (Никол) was an amazing Hostess - really friendly and welcoming vibe, cracked a few jokes, explained all the rules and everything else we had to know. All the puzzles were intriguing and really satisfactory once completed. Unlocking the next step required team work and it was never boring or too hard and over complicated. We had to use 2 or 3 hints but over all I think we did pretty good. Keep up the good work !

The whole experience was great. The crystal skull room is made off quality, every detail is polished to the last, there are many interesting tasks that are suitable for young to old. The best escape room I have ever seen in Bulgaria.

An amazing and thrilling experience.No matter if you are an Indiana Jones fan or not this room will definitely make you feel like an explorer searching for a lost treasure.There wasn’t a single moment in which the game felt boring. It was an intense 60 minutes of adrenaline and rush. I would definitely recommend the room if you are wondering.The people there are extremely friendly, energetic and positive.They brought a very positive vibe to our game.
P.S.:Yavkata is the best!!😁

I really enjoyed the decoration and the athmosphere of the room. It looked very authentic and brought me to Indiana Jones' decade. I admit that I would love to spend several hours there so I can absorb the environment completely. I only disliked that in the beginning, when you are still not well oriented, they started with the hints too early without providing some time to adapt.

We had a lot of fun in this escape room. Our host Yoanna was very helpful and fun and the room had a lot of interesting puzzles. In this room you get the diary of Indiana Jones that helps you with the puzzles along the way and therefore we felt it was on the easier side, with our group of two escaping with 15 minutes left. Would definetly recommend, especially if you are new to escape rooms!

I have been in many good rooms but what is unique about Escapeway.bg is that the experience starts before the game and continue after the game. Their team made sure that we entered the room in good spirit and leave in the same mood. They also shared so many interesting and funny stories about other teams who have been in the room.

Found the place based on recommendations from everyone I asked about escape rooms on Sofia. And decided to give it a try. The hostess was very friendly and polite, the story itself was also well crafted, lots of brain teasers and smiles were had. Great atmosphere too.

Whi did my review got deleted? Without any warning or notification?

Dear NickIvanov,
Sorry for my delayed answer, but I was outside Bulgaria and it wasn't possible for me to answer your question. Unfortunately I can't give you a correct answer because Tripadvisor don't give us explanation about their actions such as this. We had a lot of customers complaining with the same problem. The answer from Tripadvisor team is always the same: Due to violations of Tripadvisor policies and guidelines the review is deleted. Without any further explanations. My advice is to ask this question to the Tripadvisor team.
I really wish that there is something more that we can make for you, believe me for us every review no matter good or bad is very important.
Best regards Pencho Radkovski - Manager of Escapeway
