The Dungeon Saga - Chapter 7

What a gift! It was 2013, when on my birthday, I tried an Escape room in another country. We did not try such an activity yet, nor were there too many opportunities to spend our free time.

Being a new graduate, I had to choose a new path in my life or continue in engineering. I didn't like the hours spent in a factory, so I chose something new. I started with a lot of emotion, without experience, but with a lot of enthusiasm, crazy ideas and passion for Escape room games. So I decided to embark on a life-changing adventure. This is how the first Escape room in Cluj-Napoca appeared.

We started with a small space in the basement of a historic building in the center of Cluj. I arranged it in the style of the '20s, the last century. Flashing lights, mechanical puzzles, mysterious clues and music heard from a gramophone. That's how I surprised the first curious "prisoners" in the laboratory of the Mad Scientist.

Misiunea era să promovez noul concept de Escape room si să-i fac și pe alții să se îndrăgostească de el. Pot spune că am reușit, deoarece între timp, am creat peste 5 jocuri in locațiile noastre. În timp, tot mai mulți entuziaști au îmbrățișat jocurile de Escape room.

Povestea continuă, la fel și misiunea noastră. Într-o lume impredictibilă, ne adaptăm, creștem și venim cu noi modalități de a te bucura de Escape rooms și jocuri. Ne dorim să îți oferim in continuare experiențe care să îți cultive atenția la detalii și creativitatea. Tu ești eroul într-o poveste atent creată pentru tine și cei dragi.

Inițiativa a venit din dorința de a oferi publicului clujean, o altfel de experiență. Ceva ce nu au mai încercat niciodată. Am întâmpinat la început multe dificultăți – de la a găsi o locație potrivită până la a face conceptul propriu-zis. Primul joc real de room escape din Cluj-Napoca, consider că a adus și un plus de valoare orașului.  Prin acesta, oferim o modalitate inedită de petrecere a timpului liber.

This year, 2020, we are writing together with the community The Dungeon Cluj, chapter 7 of our story.

Au fost 7 ani plini de aventură, oameni frumoși și experiențe memorabile. Am început cu mult entuziasm, dorință de a împărtăși cu voi pasiunea noastră pentru escape rooms. Dar și puzzle-uri și timp de calitate petrecut împreună cu prietenii. De-a lungul timpului, v-am ”torturat” cu 5 scenarii de escape room, construite în 3 locații diferite. V-am închis în pivnițe și am privit cu sufletul la gură fiecare mișcare, de pe camerele de supraveghere.

Ca și voi, ne-am poticnit pe drum și am cerut indicii de la cei mai pricepuți. Dar de fiecare dată am continuat cursa, pentru că miza cea mai mare nu a fost să evadăm.  Ci să ne bucurăm în continuare de uimirea și bucuria de pe fețele voastre.

My husband and I really enjoyed this escape room - we did "The Experiment". The atmosphere was suitably creepy - I especially loved the sound effects and all the little details around the room. The puzzles were tough but fair, and there was definitely a little "rush" when we figured them out! The host was very kind and helpful, and overall the experience was really nice.

I went with few of my friends here, at all games. The games are not too complicated, not too easy. They are just right. The stories are good, too.
