Nobody knows from where the first zombies came from, but it sure changed the world brutally. They overran most big cities in no time. Life as we knew it, changed forever...
Some decided to fightback. The military along with some survivors established well defended bases.
You are desperately searching for a safe haven, where you could finally rest for a little bit.
Traveling during daytime seems safe so far, but with the coming of darkness, the creatures emerge from the shadows...
Your only hope is to draw the attention of the army to yourselves and pray for a quick rescue.
However with each passing hour, hope fades away, and darkness set soon...
Race against time! Can you find a safe haven from the rampaging zombie horde before it gets dark? Search through every corner of the ruined city to find a way of surviving.

Good things: Cool theme. I love everything with zombies. I liked the room that felt very much like a zombie movie where you have to find shelter before it gets dark and all the zombies get out. Some puzzles were super fun and clever. The room was big and opened up for many new rooms. The decorations were also cool. I loved how the room was in more levels and you had to crawl up on things.
Less good: I wish they embraced the creepy zombie universe better. It could have been much more scary/exciting which would have made it more fun. Also more music or scary sounds would have helped. It was quiet most of the time and you could hear a lot of noises from outside the room or from other rooms which ruined the immersiveness in the experience .
Puzzles: Overall fun puzzles and some new ones I've never seen. Maybe 1/3 of the puzzles were keys/padlock. There was also one particular puzzle (no spoiler but it had something to do with a barrel) that worked really bad. We asked about it afterwards and it seemed like everyone is struggling with it because it's unlogical and faulty.
Difficulty: I think it was as described. It was not too difficult and very logical in what order you had to solve the puzzles. All objects that you couldn't use to solve any puzzles were fixated which made it much easier to solve (but maybe also a little boring).
Hosting: The hosting was good. The hint and guidance worked well. The game master was sweet and helpful. Her name was Zsu.
In summary: Fun theme, many rooms, some really fun puzzles. A few faulty puzzles. Could have been more exciting/scary and more immersive.
As a zombie lover I enjoyed this game, be aware there is a very vertical ladder which is quite difficult to climb up and down so if you have mobility issues you would definitely struggle. Think this game would be far more immersive if it was scarier.

Ask for Budapest game recommendations and you’ll mostly get the usual list of well-known classics that have been played and loved for years. Ask for recommendations for Budapest rooms that have opened more recently, and Aroom is likely to get mentioned. We squeezed in a trip to them on impulse before leaving Budapest, and picked Deadland from their line-up mostly at random.
It’s an apocalyptic zombie theme, where you (plucky human survivors) are stranded in zombie-infested ruins and need to mak...
