Going back to 2022, I had no idea what to expect.
I was thinking maybe an escape room with hardcore decor and actors, or maybe a really tough torture walk-through maze ?
Either way, I wanted to try it, as we don’t have those where I live, and the ones in Paris are too expensive (50€/ person, without being sure that it would be a good time…).
Founded in Krakow, Poland in 2013, it’s a staple nowadays.
Got fear ?
There were several levels of scare and “pain” to choose from.
The pink version was just for fun and games, with a few jumpscares here and there.
The green one included contact and “a little pain”, the actors could attack you whenever they wanted.
The yellow one upped everything and dropped the fun, clothes could be torn and small attacks could occur.
The red one was mostly pain. You basically get tasered and hurt throughout. Within the past 2 years, 100% of the customers asked to quit before ending the red session.

Without any surprise, I went with the green one (not knowing what to expect, I went with a safe-ish bet).
It was just the right amount for me specifically as I adore the concept but having heart problems, I have to be careful when going blind into a horror themed place.
The ticket cost 9€ in 2022 (it’s closer to 20€ in 2026), and the experience could last from 30 minutes to an hour and a half depending on a lot of things (your pace, your reactions, your ability to solve puzzles, etc…).
We were booked in with 2 other people. The guy was a bit scared but mostly led the way with the only flashlight while his girlfriend was really freaked out. The jumpscares worked wonders on her. I won’t spoil it for you, as discovering the maze was all the fun but I’ll just tell you that it is worth every penny ! We had a blast.
The green experience : tased and confused?
I would mostly recommend it if you are a fan of horror movies in general, as the actors interact with you more when you enjoy being « scared » and appreciate the decor. I got a weird mix between green and yellow in the end as I got kidnapped, lightly electrocuted with a cattle prod, and choked. All in all, fun times.
Worth every penny
We got out after about 35 minutes and were offered the option to buy pictures as a souvenir. If I remember correctly, it was approximately 7€ per person for the link to the pictures.
As previously stated, I won’t spoil the maze, but I will show you how enjoyable it was with just a picture.
If you are ever in Krakow, this is a must-do !
