Labyrinth Games Room Escape Helsinki - Review of The Flying Dutchman & The Holy Grail (Helsinki)

 

Hi all

In December 2023, my wife and I took our girls to Europe for our first white Christmas.  We had a great time and travelled to Finland, Czechia, Frand and England. 

We managed to play at least a couple of escape rooms in each country, for a total of 22 rooms over a 5 week period.  I know, I am slipping…

Rather than review each room in detail, I thought I would review each escape room business and let you know what my favourite room(s) were at each.

The first venue we hit on our European adventure was Labyrinth Games in Helsinki, Finland.  There are not a lot of escape rooms in Finland, which is surprising given that most European cities have dozens of different escape room businesses. After some digging online, the venue that caught my eye was Labyrinth Escape Rooms.  They are located about a 15 min walk from the city area.  We played two rooms there, The Flying Dutchman and The Holy Grail.

The Flying Dutchman – Labyrinth Games Helsinki (Room 263)

This was a really beautifully-themed room. It was a really nice pirate themed room with interesting puzzle elements.  Our daughters impressed us in this room and they found a lot of the hidden objects almost as soon as we walked in.  The story was strong and the puzzles were a nice mix of low and high tech.  This was a great room.

The Holy Grail – Labyrinth Games Helsinki (Room 264)

The Holy Grail was also a strong room, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as The Flying Dutchman.  It had a lot of high tech in the room and some aspects were pretty visually spectacular (one in particular).  But overall, I didn’t think the story and game flow was as strong (and given pirate themes are one of my all-time favourite themes, it probably never had a chance against The Flying Dutchman to be fair). 

Final thoughts

The rooms at Labyrinth Games in Helsinki were solid rooms.  The staff there were lovely and gave us recommendations on where to eat after our adventure.
