The experience
You walk into a room where Moriarty's spirit has set a trap, and the timer starts immediately. There is no turning back and no hints from the operator. This is billed as a real trap, not a standard escape room. The game uses light and sound special effects and electric locks (no physical keys) to build the pressure. Your job is to solve the puzzles and riddles fast enough to break free in 60 minutes, working as a team while the guide watches and the game itself seems to play against you.
The room was redesigned in October 2019 and kept the best elements of the operator's earlier Va-Bank escape room, but the puzzles and story are entirely new. Moriarty's spirit feeds off your emotions and fears. The game is built around that psychological edge. The guide speaks English and runs the game live, so you are not solving a pre-recorded sequence. The experience shifts based on how you move through the space and what you figure out.
The game sits in Prague and is reachable by public transport. You do not need any special fitness level, though the operator notes it is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health due to the stress and intensity of the time pressure. Bring a team of people who like puzzle-solving under pressure and can handle a game that leans into fear and suspense as part of the fun.
Is this one for you?Book this if you are comfortable with psychological intensity and time pressure. The game is designed to play on your emotions and fears, and there are no hints offered, so it suits players who like a real challenge and do not need reassurance during the game.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (under 18).
What happens if my team can't solve the puzzles in time?
The timer runs out after 60 minutes and the game ends. The operator does not offer hints during the game. You are meant to work through the riddles on your own, so if you do not escape, Moriarty wins and you leave the room still trapped in the story.
Is this a typical escape room with a Sherlock theme, or something different?
Moriarty's Phantom Trap is designed to feel like a real trap, not a standard escape room. It uses light and sound effects and electronic locks (no physical keys) to create pressure, and the game itself plays with you psychologically. It is built around Moriarty's spirit feeding off your emotions and fears, so the experience is more intense and psychological than a puzzle-focused room.
What does the live guide do during the game?
The live English-speaking guide runs the game and watches your team work through the puzzles. The guide does not offer hints (your job is to outsmart Moriarty on your own), but the guide manages the game's flow, effects and the timer.
