Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This is an attraction with rides, food and midway-type games. Clearly the place is intended for, and used by, teenagers. However, it is fun to wander around get something to eat. If you have kids, buy a pass and you get some peace and quiet while they have fun.

    There is a tram ( #3) that lets you off right in front. That is a lot better than driving and parking.

    Very fun and exciting experience with friends. There is eight different escape rooms to choose from so fun time doesn't stop soon.

    This place was a lot smaller than you may think. But the saunas are great. Good variety and nice to get drinks etc. when we went it was quite busy, lots of groups of young people congregating which got a little annoying and meant you couldn’t use certain saunas. We ate in the restaurant which was really good albeit quite expensive (as food seemed to be everywhere in Helsinki). But good service and really enjoyed our time here

    THE best escape rooms in town! Have played both rooms with 10- and 13-yr kids, we all loved these. Best effects, well planned. High recommendation!

    OK. This is a tourist attraction. We knew that going in and enjoyed ourselves either because of or perhaps in spite of that.

    This is one those 5-D productions with clever cinematography taking you on a sky adventure over and around Helsinki. The visuals are eye-popping in places with a sense of humor and more than a few surprises. It's actually a pretty good aerial tour of Helsinki and some other parts of Finland.

    If you’re looking for something a little different and just fun, this is a good place to come for a half hour or so. Just don’t take yourself or this attraction seriously.

    Definitely one of the best escape rooms in Helsinki! We have been in 3 rooms and will go again. Every room has been different, very clever and surprising puzzles and also service was very good! I strongly recommend this place.

    Although we managed to escape only in our dreams, we were comforted by the fact that we solved our way up to the very last puzzle 😎🧠 Highly recommended!

    Staff was extremely enthusiastic and the whole experience was one of the best escape rooms I've been in.

    The fact that Hotel Katajanokka actually is a former Helsinki county prison renovated with loving care into a lifestyle hotel really adds to the experience. Well done!

    Great customer service and good working bikes! We rented the city bikes for a day of exploring Helsinki and had the best experience with Bicyclean.
    Highly recommend!

    Excellent shooting range with a lot of different kind of rental firearms for every user. Instructors are friendly an accomodate to every kind of person - even if you're a total novice or experienced with different guns.

    One of the best escape rooms I have experienced. Perfect for 4 persons. Different kind of locks and ways to solve puzzles.

    Shot bars have nearly disappeared where I live.

    But they live on in Helsinki. And we had a hilarious Sunday night experience here during Midsummer. We had the place mostly to ourselves, which was good because they only have one little area suitable for people with short legs - all of the rest of the seating is impossibly high.

    The bartender was a load of laughs and was ready to tell us what to drink, what would knock us out and what would taste better. We ended up having three shots, with a suitable water chaser. We nursed the shots, unlike the three other people who came in, span the wheel of fortune, and had their shots poured and drank within ten minutes!

    Music might be a little loud, but the decor is great and the list of shots covers an entire wall!

    It was around the corner from our hotel. I could see going there every night under different circumstances.
