"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."

The Toy Workshop, known in Bulgarian as The Story of the Toys, is a toy workshop escape room in Sofia by Emergency Escape, the adult games brand of Hour Escape. For years children have left their broken toys with the old master on Hir Botir Street, but lately he works only at night, acts more and more strangely, and fewer toys ever come back. Your team has 60 minutes to find out why. The room takes 2 to 6 players, from €50 for two to €90 for six.

A mystery on Hir Botir Street

The toy workshop on Hir Botir Street is one of the best known in town. Children spend hours there playing with its games, and many leave their toys 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.

It is a mystery escape room with a darker mood than its sister room, but there are no scares, no actors and nothing that jumps out at you. The rooms are spacious and well lit, and if anyone feels uncomfortable, the game master takes you out straight away. Emergency Escape rates it 4 out of 5 for difficulty, and players say it looks cute and childlike at first, then turns out harder than they expected.

Two rooms side by side, up to 12 players

The Toy Workshop takes up to 6 players, and Emergency Escape suggests four as the ideal team. Next door is their second room, The Masonic Legacy, a treasure hunt 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 works well for birthdays, friends and team building, and it is the easiest way to book Emergency Escape Sofia for a bigger group.

It is also an escape room for families. Children from 8 can help a team with adults, and kids can form their own team from 9. Younger children can sometimes join a family team, so ask us first.

FAQ

How much does the toy workshop escape room in Sofia cost?+
The price is per team: €50 for two players, €60 for three, €70 for four, €80 for five and €90 for six.
Is it the same room as The Story of the Toys?+
Yes. Emergency Escape calls it The Story of the Toys in Bulgarian. Some guests know it as the dark toy workshop room.
Is it scary?+
No. The mood is darker and more mysterious than in The Masonic Legacy, but there are no horror elements and no actors. The rooms are spacious and well lit.
What age is it for?+
Children from 8 can play in a team with adults, and a team made up only of kids can play from age 9. That makes it a good escape room for families with older children.
Can younger children come?+
Sometimes. Emergency Escape can let a younger child join a team with at least two adults, at the game master's discretion, and children under 7 play free. Ask us before you book.
We are more than six. What can we do?+
Split into two teams. The Masonic Legacy is next door, so up to 12 people can play the two rooms at the same time.
What is the best team size?+
Four. Emergency Escape says two players may not finish in time, and with six it gets crowded.
What language is the game in?+
English or Bulgarian. Tell us when you book.
How do we pay?+
When you book, you pay a 20% advance by card through our Stripe payment link (€10 for two up to €18 for six). It is taken off the price on the day, and you pay the rest at the venue, in cash or by bank transfer.
Can we change or cancel?+
You can move your booking once if you tell us at least 48 hours before the game. If you cancel or do not show up, the advance is not returned.
What if we are late?+
If you arrive 10 minutes or more after your time, the game cannot start and the advance is not returned, because the next team is already waiting.
Is it suitable for people with limited mobility?+
Usually not. Message us before booking and we will check with Emergency Escape.
Do SoFun Card holders get a discount?+
Yes, 10% when you book through us: €45 instead of €50 for two players, up to €81 instead of €90 for six.

How to find us

The Toy Workshop is at 87 Hristo Botev Boulevard, 2nd floor, in central Sofia, a short walk from the Zhenski Pazar market. The Lavov Most and Serdika metro stations are about 10 minutes away on foot. Parking in the centre is limited and usually paid, so the metro or a taxi is easier. We send the details again on WhatsApp when we confirm your toy workshop escape room booking.
