Da Vinci’s Secret

In our third room, you can experience the adventure of searching for the Holy Grail. (…) Your team has just started to search in Leonardo´s ancient office in Milan and trying to solve the logical connections to find the indication leading to Venice. But Leonardo was prudent and he knew that not only the chosen ones would try to find the Grail. That is why he has included some protective mechanism into his system. The codes have to be deciphered in 70 minutes in every place; otherwise the indication to the next city will be destroyed. And the Grail will be lost. Will you manage it?

Our Experience

PanIQ Room is an Escape Room franchise with multiple locations in Slovakia. The venue in Bratislava offers the 70-Minute game “Da Vinci’s Secret” and is located a bit outside of the city centre of Bratislava. In fact, it was the venue with the greatest distance we had to drive htis weekend, which sounds a bit dramatic, as it was just 15 minutes with a Taxi. Once we arrived at the location, it took as a bit to find the entrance, which is clearly marked with a huge sign, so you shouldn’t have the same problem.

PanIQ Room is housed in the basement of an office building, with a small but cozy waiting area. After storing our items, we received a short intro from our gamemaster and off we went. Considering how long the story intro is on the website, we felt a bit confused as to why we didn’t hear a similar intro on location – but never the less – we entered to room to find out the hidden secret of DaVinci.

The room itself is on the smaller size and does show some wear-and-tear already. While we didn’t enounter any broken items, we managed to lose an item behind a wooden board and couldn’t get it out again during the game. Our gamemaster handled the situation well though and could tell us the information the piece provided without an issue.

Although the room itself is fairly basic, the puzzles and task were fun and kept us entertained the whole time. You will need to work as a team and there is a rope-puzzle in the room that was really fun.

In the end, we escaped with 27 minutes left on the clock. The room design was basic and showed its age, but the puzzles were fun. Our gamemaster did a great job considering the issue with our lost puzzle-piece and overall attention to our progress. Is the “longer” trip worth it? That’s up to you, there are certainly better options closer to the city centre.
