Our review
Before diving into the Phantom of the Opera review, we’ll own up a bit: when we picked this room we did it with some hesitation, because we didn’t have very high expectations. But we had hope. And Mysterium Escape Room delivered on that hope with a solid escape room and 60 minutes of good fun. Plus Rochen candies.

We played this escape room with 2 players and:
Story & Setting
The first thing that drew us in was the design. The visuals, colours and atmosphere easily take you into bohemian, mysterious Paris and ease you into the story. We say “ease” because that’s what the room does—it doesn’t dump everything on you at once but lets you discover it step by step. The story itself is engaging, with mystery and crime elements.
Puzzles & Gameplay
On the technical side, we also liked the Phantom of the Opera puzzles. They’re well tied to the story and medium difficulty, suitable for most teams. We appreciated finding puzzle elements we hadn’t seen in other rooms, and the automated hint system added a nice touch to the flow of the game.
If you’re more experienced with escape rooms, Phantom of the Opera might not be your biggest challenge and you might finish it fairly quickly.
Atmosphere & Immersion
Every element is well thought out—objects, textures, lights and music create a real opera feel. We have to admit we more than once felt like taking a seat and waiting for the show to begin.

Final Verdict
Phantom of the Opera is an escape room worth playing. Elegant, immersive and full of mystery, it stands out through attention to detail and a well-built atmosphere. We applaud the Mysterium Escape Room team for creating something different and putting their passion and creativity into a strong escape room in Bucharest.
