In early 1980’s an international team of scientists was trying to explain what lies behind a phenomenon generally called “POLTERGEIST”. This name was given to all sorts of combined paranormal events, such as strange loud noises with no apparent source, telekinetic moves or strong fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. After some time, scientists found out that these strange events often appeared near a certain type of sensible persons. Several of them were chosen to take part in a top-secret experiment, where the researchers injected them with a special substance to stimulate paranormal events. Some claimed, that after receiving this stimulant, the “specimens” were able to somehow connect our world with its paranormal counterpart and thus gained special abilities at the cost of their own sanity. The goal of the “Project Poltergeist” was to exploit this knowledge for military purposes.
However, in the secret research facility located somewhere in Prague, things started to get out of hands. For some reason, the entire project was prematurely terminated. Soon, it became obvious that nobody made it out of the facility alive, but the government just claimed that nothing like “Poltergeist facility” ever existed in the first place. For many years, nobody could be sure this whole project was not just another urban legend. Just until a strange walled-up iron door was found…
Will you gather your courage to investigate a place filled with paranormal events? Will you learn the truth about an extraordinary scientific experiment or will you join those who found their death in the Poltergeist facility?
Will you dare open the door?

Bloody terrifying. Enormous in space, immersion is second to none, and the fun puzzles were just a distraction from being scared to death. The hosting was incredible, and the ending was unique and chilling. Also, I’ve never seen my wife so scared in her life so big thumbs up! 😂  In our top 3 for Prague, it’s unmissable.

Reviews by escape room review sites

In a city famous for escape rooms, Poltergeist is one of the most famous, and famous for being scary. It has the alternative name Haunted House 2, but is a stand-alone game; the company’s Haunted House 1 is at the same address but has no narrative links.
Poltergeist aims to scare you, and it shouldn’t be a spoiler to say that it involves live acting. From the lightly immersive intro, you’re plunged into ominous surroundings that are only the start of an expansive and very atmospheric set. In ou...
One of the best rooms I’ve played in spite of a scary theme and the stand out game in Prague. Be warned, though, this game is not for the faint-hearted…

Hose voll und Spaß dabei! So soll es sein 😅.

Ein Experiment lief außer Kontrolle, und wir waren mutig genug die zugemauerte Stahltüre zu öffnen und das „Projekt Poltergeist“ zu beenden.

We never expected that a room could spread such a dense and coherent atmosphere and that you would forget you were in a game in the meantime. 

Unser Spielleiter kommt gebürtig aus dem Sauerland, was soll da schon schiefgehen. Aber schon bei der Einführung in die Story zeigt sich, hier geht es nicht einfach nur ums Erschrecken und den blanken Horror, auch hier wird eine Geschichte erzählt. Das Gruppenfoto wird vorher gemacht, man kann ja nie wissen.Dann bleibt der Spielleiter allein zurück und schickt uns in die unteren Bereiche des Gebäudekomplexes, wir können uns aber seiner Unterstützung per Walkie Talkie sicher sein. Hier macht diese Art der Kommunikation mit dem Spielleiter, der stets in seiner Rolle bleibt, aber auf jeden Fall Sinn und manchmal wirkt es einfach auch mal beruhigend, eine Stimme zu hören, die nicht durch die Angst vollkommen kirre ist.
