“We've done almost 100 escape rooms all over the world, but this experience was by far the worst ever! The advertising promises best in class escape rooms, but compared to other companies in budapest this simply isnt worth the money. Pieces of broken mirror (which was used as decoration) were just left in the corner of the room.”

6.The Real Saw | Escape Room by PÁNiQ SZOBA

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 10 reviews · 1 hour · from $23

Review of The Real Saw escape room in Central Hungary: price, puzzles, horror setting, booking tips, safety concerns, and who should go.

“I didn’t like it due to various reasons. 2 of 3 participants chained with short chains, therefore limited possibility to explore the room and to support each other slowing down the pace for at least 15 minutes right at the beginning. Light way too dark I could not even see the numbers of the lock. Several locks seriously worn out, one didnt work at all and needed intervention by the guide to proceed, despite right number. Guide was inattentive, his hints refered to already solved steps not following up with the team effort. stethoscope with razor sharp ear plug, I injured my ear sticking it in to solve the heartbeat…”
