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.

I went at an escape room called "The Great Saloon Heist" and, on one hand, i had a lot of fun figuring out the puzzles. On the other hand, it was pretty dark in some parts and i, along with some of the people i went with, couldn't see that good. Overall, we had a lot of fun and would probably go there againwhen we had the chance. Also, the fact that when you go to an escape room you get some price reductions for others of your choosing is very nice.

I liked the idea of participating in these kind of activities since I was a little kid, I enjoy solving puzzles or riddles and spending time with my friends and this was the perfect combination of the two.
The room was really interesting a little too dark, but beautifully decorated, the service was great and all I can say is that I lived my childhood dream and felt like a true detective.
I definitely recommend trying at least once.

I went there on a cold Sunday evening with my children and a friend, slightly anxious. But once inside we went into a big frenzy and after two clues from the staff and a lot of laughing, we managed to escape with 1:45 mins left! The staff is very helpful and nice, everything went smooth, very short waiting time and we got a discount for next time!

The atmosphere was amazing, there were a lot of puzzles, but none was necessarily too hard and we managed to get out in the nick of time. The space is kinda tight so I wouldn't recommend it to groups larger than 4, maximum 5.
Overall, one of the best Escape Room experiences in Bucharest

The production quality of the rooms as well as the creativity encompassing each puzzle was amazing especially for the low price! The employees were extremely nice. Ended up doing 3 rooms in my five days there due to how fun they were. Highly recommend

The puzzles and the room atmosphere is really cool, puzzles are challenging. We really liked it, but we do not recommend it for just 2 people. We have been to a lot of escape rooms, and we usually escape before it ends, but this one was too difficult for only 2 people. So take your friends to this one with you!

English:
I needed a couple of minutes to find it between the buildings, but I found it at some point. The lobby is feel welcoming and the staff members were nice, they were helpful/social. I went to Langdon's Challange (me and a friend). The room itself was quite fun, I couldn't imagine myself actually getting out, but we were very close! I really like this idea that you can receive a hint every 10 minutes if you want too which is something that other escapes rooms don't have(normally you have 3 hints). Prices are alright I guess, not too high not too low. I recommend!
Romanian:
Am avut nevoie de câteva minute sa gasesc locul între clădiri, dar l-am găsit la un moment dat. Lobby-ul este primitor și membrii personalului au fost drăguți, au fost de ajutor/social. Am fost la Langdon's Challange (eu și un prieten). Camera în sine a fost destul de distractivă, nu îmi puteam imagina căvoi reusi sa ies, dar chiar a fost usor de realizat si am fost aproape! Îmi place foarte mult ideea că poți primi un indiciu la fiecare 10 minute dacă vrei și tu, ceea ce nu au alte escape room-uri (în mod normal ai 3 indicii). Prețurile sunt în regulă, nu prea mari, nici prea mici. Recomand!

It was my first experience with Captive and we had a lot of fun. I tried the Sands of Time Escape Room with one of my friends and we liked very much! The games and puzzles were so well thought and the decorations were impressive!
Our host for this room, Bogdana, who introduced us to the story, was so kind and patient with us and also very helpful and responsive during the running of the game.
We warmly recommend this amazing place!

Me and my friend went to try the "Coca-Cola The Secret" escape room. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. They even helped my friend hide a present inside a drawer and I couldn't believe it was for me, but part of the interior. Given this wonderful experience, we will be sure to come back and try their other rooms. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much!:)

It's the third room I've visited from captive and everything was very good. The staff is very nice and do a good job preparing you for the room and the room itself is very well put together, it's challenging and immersive and we had a great time. 3 days after I am still talking about the puzzles and how well they were executed.

Faut-il parler correctement anglais pour faire cet escape games ? Une version française ?
Written 26 October 2018
Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, English is necessary for solving the games. We don’t have a French version.
Best regards!
