“Classic” escape rooms typically focus on a series of brainteasers and logic games for adults. If you are looking for a place like that, Escape House and Logikamra are definitely for you. If you are interested in something less traditional, you might want to choose one of the themed escape rooms.

Horror is perhaps one of the most popular escape room themes. If you are not afraid of spooky chambers, Exit Point and Időcsapda (“Time Trap”) are the places to go. They offer different but equally creepy options. Less terrifying, but still more thrilling rooms are available at Parapark, MindCrime and Locked Escape Game, where you can either rob a bank or investigate a murder.

If you are not so eager for the thrill, the movie-themed Team Escape offers a more friendly but still intriguing experience. The historical themed MystiqueRoom and  Mysterygames, are equally amusing.
