"The atmosphere completely surprised us — it looks like a real toy workshop but with a genuinely dark and mysterious feel. The puzzles were challenging and creative, we needed to think hard as a team. The host was warm and attentive throughout. We came for a fun afternoon and left having had one of the most memorable escape room experiences we've tried. Already planning to do the Masonic room next."

The toy workshop on "Hir Botir" Street is one of the most iconic in the neighbourhood. Children spent hours playing with its games, leaving their broken toys to be repaired and refreshed. But in recent months, the toymaker has been keeping very strange hours — working only at night, behaving ever more oddly. Fewer and fewer children are getting their toys back. The Story of the Toys by Emergency Escape is a dark, atmospheric escape room rated 4 out of 5 for difficulty, set inside a mysterious toy workshop with original puzzles and an unsettling backstory. Suitable for players from age 10.

🧸 The Toymaker’s Secret

From the outside, it is a toy workshop. But the toymaker has been working only at night. The children’s toys are not coming back. Something is very wrong inside. The Story of the Toys takes the familiar warmth of a childhood toy shop and twists it into something genuinely unsettling — a rich, detailed set design that draws you in before pulling the atmosphere in an entirely different direction. The room is rated 4 out of 5 for difficulty: the puzzles are original, layered, and require the whole team to engage. Players who have completed both Emergency Escape rooms consistently describe this one as the more atmospheric of the two.

👨‍👩‍👧 Great for Families & Mixed Groups

Emergency Escape offers dedicated children’s birthday packages and family-friendly sessions at this location. The room is suitable for players from age 10, and the toy workshop setting makes it particularly engaging for mixed groups with younger participants. Unlike many escape rooms, the theme is accessible and immediately immersive for children and adults alike — the dark twist reveals itself gradually rather than upfront.

🔺 Play Both Rooms on the Same Visit

Emergency Escape’s second room — The Masonic Legacy — is at the same address. For adventurous groups, both rooms can be played on the same visit: the toy workshop followed by the Masonic mansion, or vice versa. The time slots are staggered (Masonic: 10:00/12:00/14:00/16:00/18:00/20:15 — Toys: 10:30/12:30/14:30/16:30/18:30/20:45), making a back-to-back double session straightforward to arrange. Ask us when you book.

❓ FAQ +
Is it suitable for children?
Yes — the minimum age is 10. The toy workshop theme is immediately engaging for younger players, though the difficulty (4/5) means the puzzles are genuinely challenging for the whole group. Emergency Escape also offers dedicated children’s birthday packages at this location.
Is the price per person or per room?
Per room. €50 (2p) · €60 (3p) · €70 (4p) · €80 (5p) · €90 (6p). With SoFun Card: €45 / €54 / €63 / €72 / €81.
Can we play both rooms on the same day?
Yes — both Emergency Escape rooms are at the same address, and the time slots are staggered by 30 minutes, making a double session easy to arrange. Ask us when booking and we will coordinate both reservations.
What time slots are available?
Every day: 10:30 · 12:30 · 14:30 · 16:30 · 18:30 · 20:45. Bookings for the next 24 hours and weekends by phone only: +359 899 881 321.
Is it scary for younger players?
The room has a dark and mysterious atmosphere, but it is not a horror room. The unsettling elements build gradually through the story rather than jump scares or extreme content. Players from age 10 handle it well — the challenge is intellectual rather than frightening.
