About the escape room
The "Las Virtudes Mental Hospital" has opened its doors to the public to offer guided tours.

Despite its dark history, it is one of the few asylums that still exists and is still in operation today.
You'll have to venture into its gloomy facilities and discover the treatments and experiments that were carried out, but beware: the residents are a little agitated by your arrival and are somewhat... unstable.

AI Overview
AIPolarizing experience: several teams praise the atmosphere, performances, and pacing, while others point to inconsistencies and confusion with the lighting. Light-based guidance splits opinions, as do some interaction rules. Puzzle flow varies widely between groups; some find it solid, others feel it’s broken. The asylum story reads as cliché to some, but others note an effective crescendo and a good payoff.
WeaknessesRecurring criticism of rule consistency and light-based guidance, with occasional confusion. Irregular puzzle flow and, in some cases, important details hard to see; some prop wear and a narrative development that some find less cohesive.
StrengthsStandout performances, well-managed psychological tension, and production with excellent sets and lighting. A good range of puzzles when the flow cooperates, and memorable interaction moments.
SecurityThere’s physical contact and intense stimuli; it’s best to follow staff rules and cues to the letter. The team sets the pace and boundaries, which helps maintain control without breaking immersion too much.
Level of fearAn intense, sensory experience—more for adults and horror fans than for kids or very sensitive people. There is physical interaction and high-adrenaline moments.
Actors' gameActors earn strong praise for commitment and versatility, even in English runs. Character interactions add dark humor or genuine fear and sustain immersion.
Quality of riddlesNotable volume and variety according to several teams, with immersive designs when the rules are clear. Others complain about poor flow and key clues hard to perceive in low light. The sense of fairness hinges heavily on lighting and the game master’s pacing.
PlotYou explore a psychiatric hospital with a murky past to uncover treatments and experiments. The progression feels uneven: for some it’s generic, for others it builds with solid jolts and payoff moments.
Difficulty levelMedium-high difficulty due to stress, low light, and the need to observe carefully. Newcomers may get frustrated if they don’t grasp the rules; small, horror-hardened teams tend to enjoy it more.
