The Key Escape Room Ljubljana, Ljubljana

Half-empty rooms do not really create the right atmosphere. Too many locks and not enough puzzles of other kind. But the worst thing was the amount of ugly orange stickers that were literally on every second item in the rooms; stickers are supposed to indicate that you should not touch this item, HOWEVER some items with stickers you apparently can touch, if you get an instruction to do so. That's quite confusing, the game master struggled to give clear instructions and just said that she wasn't the one who put the stickers on (so...she doesn't know what they mean?). We felt it was lazy designing, as normally the stickers would be put on smoke detectors or cameras (clearly non-touchable items), but not on so many room items. We escaped (actually went a little over the time), but the feeling afterwards was not great.

The game master acted like he was there on a punishment. He said maybe 10 sentences all together (but he manage to say 2 things: -that if we break anything we need to pay for it 😂 And that there are red stickers in the room that mark the "do not touch" object, but in some case, we can touch them ??). He didn't explain any rules and gave no introduction, we didn't know what was the purpose of the room, he just put us inside and closed the door. Some parts of the game are confusing because in the rooms, some objects with red stickers can be opened, touched, removed although it means "do not touch". Also, some numbers are used twice which is not the standard in escape rooms. There was no english translation for some things. When we found the last key we opened the door and the game master didn't come inside, we needed to come and get him 😂 And this is the first escape room where we needed to pay before playing. I wonder why.
