The Toy Workshop is a mystery escape room in Sofia by Emergency Escape, on Hristo Botev Boulevard in the city centre, known in Bulgarian as The Story of the Toys. The toy workshop on Hir Botir Street is one of the best known in town, but lately the master works only at night, acts more and more strangely, and fewer and fewer children get their toys back. Your team has 60 minutes to find out why. The room takes 2 to 6 players and the price is per team, from €50 for two to €90 for six. You pay a 20% advance by card when you book, and the rest at the venue.

"The Toy Workshop brought out the child in me. Great decor, and you really feel like a kid in a dream playroom full of games, but the puzzles are a challenge even for adults."

★★★★★

"Really nice escape rooms. The Toy Workshop looks very pretty and childlike at first glance, but it is harder than you think."

Martin S.
★★★★★

"Both rooms are great! Very absorbing and different from each other, and the puzzles are really interesting… The guy there is also really cool and very attentive."

Galya K.
★★★★★

"The best escape rooms in Sofia, no doubt… The place they have built is amazing. You step into a world of mysteries… The rooms really put you “in the movie”."

A mystery on Hir Botir Street

The old toy master repairing a toy under his lamp

Children spend hours in the toy workshop on Hir Botir Street playing with its games, and many leave their toys there to be fixed and freshened up. In recent months, though, the master keeps a very odd schedule. He works only at night, his behaviour gets stranger, and fewer and fewer children get their toys back. You step inside his workshop to find out what is going on.

At first glance the room looks pretty and childlike, but players say it is harder than you think: Emergency Escape rates it 4 out of 5 for difficulty. There are no horror elements. The rooms are spacious and well lit, and if anyone feels uncomfortable, the game master takes you out straight away.

Two rooms side by side, up to 12 players

The Toy Workshop takes 2 to 6 players, and Emergency Escape suggests four as the ideal team: with two you may run out of time, with six it gets cosy. Next door is their second room, The Masonic Legacy, with the same team sizes and prices, so a group of up to 12 can split into two teams and play both games at the same time. It is also a good escape room for families: children from 8 can help a team with adults, and kids can form their own team from 9.
