"The escape room is sort of a classical one but still very interesting, with good, clear and challenging puzzles. The gamemaster was stellar… we would still recommend it to everyone, regardless of your experience and skills."

"It is well thought and build with interesting clues to find. It is neither too hard, nor too easy, so it should be a good difficulty match for most of the players. I highly recommend it!"

👥 2 to 5 players⏱ 60 minutes🔒 Hostage story🧩 Good for beginners📍 Near Serdika metro
The story starts in the dark. You and your friends are hostages, there is no door, no window and no exit, and someone has left you a way out hidden in the room. Hour Escape built The Trap escape room around teamwork: at one point the team splits up and works on two puzzles at once, so you need to listen to each other and share what you find. The ending is not fixed and depends on how you play.
Players describe it as a classic escape room with clear, varied puzzles that are neither too hard nor too easy, and the game master gives hints when you get stuck. That makes it a good escape room for beginners and still fun for teams who have played before.
