Story & Setting
93 minutes of puzzles, mysteries, and secrets that immerse you directly into the depths of Ancient Egypt? Hell yeah! Because that's exactly what you get at Artifact, the room from Next Level Escape – an experience that grips you from the first minute and doesn't let go until the end. The story? You and your team of archaeologists set off after a lost artifact. Sounds like the beginning of an adventure movie? That's exactly how it feels.
Puzzles & Gameplay
What really delighted us about this escape room? The puzzles, without any hesitation. All are logical, perfectly balance the story, and are designed in a natural flow, as if you truly embarked on a real expedition. Each mechanism brings that 'wow' factor, and the balance between challenge and satisfaction is impeccable. Not too simple to bore you, nor too difficult to make you want to ask for all the hints on the spot. And the hints, when they appear, are delivered in a unique way, directly tied to the story.
Atmosphere & Immersion
If the first few minutes give you the feeling of 'these guys haven't really invested much in the decor,' don't worry, you'll be gradually surprised. The music, lights, and decor grow in intensity together, and the story deepens with each step. You end up feeling less like an escape room player and more like Indiana Jones who stumbled upon a forgotten temple. Exactly the kind of atmosphere that makes you forget you had another life outside the room.
