- Mihai C19 contributionsGreat experienceIt was our first ever escape room and it was way better than we expected! The room & puzzles design was very interesting, in the end it all looked way different than at the start. Staff was friendly and attentive and made our stay enjoyable. They also have an easy to use online reservation, which is helpful.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 31, 2024

- Ioana2 contributionsGreat experienceI was very pleased with the experience - I tried Coca Cola Secret room with my 14ys old son. Although we did not manage to escape, we did manage to solve a great part of the puzzles. The rooms have a difficulty above average and the details are very well thought. The staff was supportive and helpful as well. Definitelly recommended.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 3, 2024

- iahradamBucharest, Romania1 contributionCaptive Escape Room ReviewEnglish: I needed a couple of minutes to find it between the buildings, but I found it at some point. The lobby is feel welcoming and the staff members were nice, they were helpful/social. I went to Langdon's Challange (me and a friend). The room itself was quite fun, I couldn't imagine myself actually getting out, but we were very close! I really like this idea that you can receive a hint every 10 minutes if you want too which is something that other escapes rooms don't have(normally you have 3 hints). Prices are alright I guess, not too high not too low. I recommend! Romanian: Am avut nevoie de câteva minute sa gasesc locul între clădiri, dar l-am găsit la un moment dat. Lobby-ul este primitor și membrii personalului au fost drăguți, au fost de ajutor/social. Am fost la Langdon's Challange (eu și un prieten). Camera în sine a fost destul de distractivă, nu îmi puteam imagina căvoi reusi sa ies, dar chiar a fost usor de realizat si am fost aproape! Îmi place foarte mult ideea că poți primi un indiciu la fiecare 10 minute dacă vrei și tu, ceea ce nu au alte escape room-uri (în mod normal ai 3 indicii). Prețurile sunt în regulă, nu prea mari, nici prea mici. Recomand!Vă mulțumim pentru suportul acordat și pentru recenzia dvs. pozitivă! Ne străduim să oferim întotdeauna cele mai bune servicii și ne bucurăm că am reușit să vă mulțumim.Written June 21, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Written April 23, 2024

- Gabriel C3 contributionsAmazing Escape Room Experience for two or moreIt was my first experience with Captive and we had a lot of fun. I tried the Sands of Time Escape Room with one of my friends and we liked very much! The games and puzzles were so well thought and the decorations were impressive! Our host for this room, Bogdana, who introduced us to the story, was so kind and patient with us and also very helpful and responsive during the running of the game. We warmly recommend this amazing place!We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful experience with us. Thank you for the review and we hope to welcome you again soon!Written September 20, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 30, 2024

- VAdrianV19991 contributionSaloon Heist is their best roomThe atmosphere was amazing, there were a lot of puzzles, but none was necessarily too hard and we managed to get out in the nick of time. The space is kinda tight so I wouldn't recommend it to groups larger than 4, maximum 5. Overall, one of the best Escape Room experiences in BucharestThank you for your positive review and for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to know you had a pleasant time and look forward to welcoming you back.Written November 25, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2024Written October 29, 2024

To begin with, i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Tha game master ruined the whole experience and made me and my friends wish we never came there. Everytime we had something to ask regarding to the game, and by that i mean clues, he was not giving us any usefull information. I remember that at one puzzle we got stuck really bad and instead of helping us, he used our last 3 clues by telling us that what ee are doing it s wrong, the puzzle it s not in the right direction, we should change something. I know it s wrong, since nothing is happening, thanks for the tip. He just wasted 30 minutes of our game, telling us nothing usefull and in the last minute of the game (literally the last minute) he gave us the solution. I did not say he had to help us by offering us the solution but a clue does not mean telling us we are doing it wrong. A clue is something to help you find the right way and answer. All said, he was just frustrated because our team was late, although he was the one who called me one day before the game and told me that despite the fact that the game is scheduled at 5:30 PM, he wants us to come later, at 6:00 PM. We were late 10 minutes because we couldn’t find a parking lot and he was all about drama, calling me and telling me that the game was supposed to start at 5:30 PM. I mean...you rescheduled it, ok?
All these being said, it s a pity the games are cool and interesting but everything is ruined by the game master who does not know how to act in what concerns his clients

It was not our first visit at Captive Escape Room. We came back because every room we did was nice and fun for us as family. They have done a great job, making new rooms in the old location and also aquiring a new location. We can hardly wait for our next visit in a new room!

The rooms have an interesting decor, the puzzles are not easy at all and the hints that you request don’t reveal the entire solution of a puzzle, but only a relevant part. Also you can receive only 5 hints per game, but it’s been enough for us. We escaped every time we played and this made us come back for a new game.

The game master was a cranky teenager who did not really make us feel welcome. The room itself was pretty boring: the types of puzzles repeat themselves in all of the Captive rooms, which is obviously dissapointing. There are way better rooms in Bucharest that you can go to, that cost the same ammount of money.

First of all, I want to mention that I played a few escape rooms, it is not my first one.
The room (Captive Outside Reality) has a very very interesting scenario, plot twists, props, decoration etc.
BUT the given time (1 hour) is sufficient only if you resolve all the puzzles without taking any breaths. It is not enough time to think or to ENJOY. In my perspective, escape rooms are about ENTERTAINMENT and, after that, about logic, skills, hurry etc.
It is the first time when the staff came in the room and resolved the last quizzes for us because we ran out of time. In 60 minutes we managed to make 3/4 of the puzzles.
We recommend to the staff to give at least 1h30, so that you ll have many satisfied clients, not just MANY clients. More is not better sometimes. Thank you!!

Great fun for anybody that enjoys puzzles. It was my first escape room experience and I loved it. The room was very well made. Everything looked so profesionally made and all the puzzles were mechanical. I would strongly reccomand this place.

We had a great experience at Captive Escape Room. The staff is really kind and fun to talk to. The rooms are really well made that you could actually think you are trapped in the story of the room 😂

We entered two rooms. Everyone who chose to enter the second one received a discount for it so it was cool. The place was clean. As I know is one of the cheapest escape rooms in town even if the rooms are more complex and interesting than they are in other escape rooms I visited before. We all had fun and found our photos on the facebook page.

Did the James Bond and Coca-Cola rooms. The Coca-Cola one is great for people just starting to put their skills to the test with escape rooms (just like us). Puzzles are fun and the room itself is decently decorated with iconic Coca-Cola themed objects.
The James Bond room is slightly more difficult, tasks are more diverse. Again, the room itself is ticking most of the boxes when it comes to its decoration. We've added a few escape rooms to our 'portfolio' already but James Bond remains one of my favourites.

Very nice experience. I went together with friends, we have already completed 4 rooms and our goal is t try all of them.
Staff is very friendly and they manage to fond the perfect balance between helping and giving you a small push when you got stuck in the room.
I highly recommend.

Faut-il parler correctement anglais pour faire cet escape games ? Une version française ?
Written October 26, 2018
Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, English is necessary for solving the games. We don’t have a French version.
Best regards!
