“My partner and I did the Jurassic Escape room, and it was a fantastic experience! The set is way above average, really spectacular and full of detail. And the game itself was incredibly exciting from start to finish. I can only recommend it to everyone!”
The Secret of Santa’s Factory escape room Budapest
The machines in Santa's factory have stopped! Help the elves get every gift ready in time – a family Christmas adventure.
Family Christmas escape room at Bakáts Square – help Santa's factory!
A few weeks before Christmas Eve, every machine in Santa’s factory suddenly stopped. The conveyor belts are resting, the cheerful music in the wrapping room has gone quiet, and the elves are scratching their heads: what could the factory’s secret be that gets the machines running again?
You are Santa’s special helper team. You have 60 minutes to explore the factory’s magical corners, solve the puzzles and restart the gift production, so every present is ready in time.
A true family room: cheerful, festive and spectacular, with several areas and creative puzzles – and nothing scary. Fun for kids and grown-ups alike, and also perfect for friends and Christmas team events.

“On Saturday we visited the Wizard World I room with our kid and had a great time. It turned out to be a really nice one-hour family activity. Our helper, Bandi, was very kind too — he explained everything and kept the momentum going. Happy to recommend it to others!”
“We did the Joker room — insanely good, complex, with lots of great puzzles. We've been to plenty of different escape rooms, but this is the one we've liked best so far 😁 Detti, our game master, was very professional, kind and helpful too. Thank you so much ❤😍”
“Today we played Legendary Moments, and since we're not experienced players, it was reassuring to know we could ask for help as much as we wanted, via QR code or from the game master :D The rooms are designed really cleverly, and bonus points for giving your brain a good workout :)”
“We did the Avengers room with the family, as experienced escape room fans. It was a memorable adventure, and the kids already want to come back for the next game! It had 3 room sections and really captured that superhero feeling :) Laci was lovely too.”
“Great place with creative puzzles. The four of us escaped from the Fight for the Throne room, running a little over time, but we had a blast all the way through. Thanks to Detti, our game master, for her kind help — she always gave us just the right amount of help at just the right moment to keep us moving. She was very attentive. Thank you!”
“We had a great time in the Wizard World II room. We managed to escape in 47 minutes, but it really made our brains work. The game has clever solutions and a beautiful set. (We were surprised every time we made it into a new room, because the secret doors were so well hidden.) Special thanks to Benedek, our game master, for his expert hints and for setting up the room!”
“My girlfriend and I did the Hunger Games room, just the two of us. Spectacular set, interesting puzzles. We had a great time! Benedek and Bettina were our game masters. Kind, helpful and patient! They even let us play through all the rooms. Thanks again to them!”
“The Avengers escape room was an amazing experience! The puzzles were creative and challenging, but with teamwork we managed to solve them all. The story tied into the Avengers universe, which made it even better for us as fans, and the game ended with a real "wow" moment. I recommend it to anyone who loves superheroes and escape rooms.”
“The Wizard World (Legendary Moments) room was fantastic! We loved it! Bandi guided us really well whenever we got stuck. Exciting tasks, very clever puzzles! We wholeheartedly recommend it for families too. (We came with a 12-year-old.)”
“We had a fantastic time — a truly unique escape room. We tried Prison, but we'd love to come back and try the other rooms too. The hospitality was wonderful as well. :) I can only recommend this place! 😊”
“We had a great time. The two of us did the Prison and Catastrophe escape rooms, with Zsolt as our game master. We really enjoyed the rooms. Zsolt was very kind — we can only recommend the place, and we'll definitely be back for the rooms we haven't tried yet.”
“We came with our kids (ages 5 and 8), and all four of us loved it. It was the kids' first escape room — they wanted to give it a try, and afterwards they were adamant about doing the next one. :)”
“We loved the Fight for the Throne room — logical, with great puzzles, and the set is genius too! Thank you”
“We came as a family (3 kids). It was our first escape room experience (Wizard World 2). Our game master was Zsolt — really fun, helpful and funny. It was a great experience!”
“The Joker-themed room was absolutely great. The puzzles were brilliantly designed, and Bandi always helped exactly when we needed it. We're definitely going to work our way through all the rooms!”
“We did the Avengers 2 room with the kids and really enjoyed it. We got out in 57 minutes without any help. Bandi, the game master, was super helpful and a really nice guy!”
“The Hunger Games escape room was amazing! A bit tough, but a really great experience. Detti was our helper — thank you so much for being so kind! We warmly recommend it to everyone!”
“My partner and I tried the Avengers room. High-quality, well-designed puzzles. It was a lot of fun, and we managed to complete the mission in time.”
“The rooms are so clever! Last time we were in the Wizard World room and it was stunning — both the visuals and the puzzles. Thanks for the experience! 😍 Since our last visit we've tried the other two Wizard World rooms as well, and we loved them! Varied puzzles, fantastic sets, friendly staff — everything was wonderful 😊”
“We tried the Jurassic room with a 6-year-old. We had zero experience with rooms like this, so we finished the challenge running a little over the one-hour limit. Detti, the game master, was very kind and helpful too. The room was really exciting and had a great atmosphere.”
“We visited the Legendary Moments room as a team-building activity and had a great time. The puzzles were clever, and the game master was very kind throughout.”
