Our review
After the Excalibur experience at Evadat Escape Rooms, the bar was already set high, but Da Vinci's Secret managed to impress us with its incredible attention to detail. We spent 99 minutes in perfect flow, captivated by puzzles that challenge your mind without taking you out of the story.
Something we never thought we'd highlight—the impeccable cleanliness! This is probably the first escape room where you can kneel down to search for clues without any hesitation. Everything breathes a premium air, from the massive furniture to the automations that work like clockwork!

We played this escape room with 2 players and:
Story & Setting
The story places you directly on the trail of the genius Da Vinci, with a very clear final objective: exploring the 5 maps (the 5 achievements of the game). The decor doesn't overwhelm you through clutter, but through quality. You feel like you're in an authentic noble space, where every object has a role. It's not just a room with locks, but a space where the story unfolds gradually through logic and observation.
Puzzles & Gameplay
In this chapter, the room is simply sensational. Innovation is the key word. Without spoilers, we can say this: with ~30 rooms under our belt, only here did we find a puzzle based on such a spectacular element that you wouldn't expect to find in an escape room.
Most puzzles have at least two or three steps to solve, forcing you to correlate elements from the room (texts, images, objects). Although it's a non-linear room, the clues are integrated so undercover in the decor that, if you're attentive, you always know which direction to go.
Don't be intimidated by the official capacity of 4-8 people; it can be excellently completed with just two. It's a difficult challenge, but 'fair' for experienced players, as long as you keep in mind the room's 'simple' rule.
Atmosphere & Immersion
The mix of mystery and refinement is supported by a discreet soundtrack and ingeniously used lights. A big plus of the experience was our Game Master: an extremely calm and passionate presence, who monitored the game attentively. They intervened exactly when we needed a small push, while still preserving the satisfaction of discovery on our part.

Final Verdict

The team at Evadat Escape Rooms has put their whole heart into their rooms and it shows, successfully transforming a simple game into an authentic adventure
