If you want more than just an ordinary escape game, this is it. You’ll get real chills, clever puzzles, and that rush you only find when you’re not sure what’s around the next corner. Perfect for anyone who loves a little fear mixed with fun.
The moment we stepped through the heavy front door, the air shifted—cooler, with a faint whiff of old wood and something metallic. The lights flickered just enough to make you wonder if it was on purpose. Our guide, Cem, grinned and handed us a battered flashlight. “You’ll need this,” he said, and I could tell he’d seen a lot of nervous faces before ours.
Inside, the Frankenstein Horror House isn’t just another escape room. It sprawls across three floors, with 19 different levels and a maze that actually made us double back more than once. The puzzles aren’t just about numbers or locks—sometimes it’s a hidden lever, or a riddle whispered through a speaker that sounds way too close for comfort. At one point, I swear I heard footsteps behind us, but when I turned, nothing was there. The whole place is built to mess with your senses—one moment you’re laughing at a friend’s jump scare, the next you’re whispering because you’re sure someone (or something) is listening.
The experience is intense and may be too scary for young children. Teens and adults usually enjoy it most.
Most groups spend about an hour inside, but timing can vary depending on how quickly you solve the puzzles.
Yes, there are several public transportation options nearby. It’s pretty easy to reach from most parts of Istanbul.
It’s not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health or pregnant visitors due to the intense scares.
You’ll get entry to the full Frankenstein Horror House—three floors, 19 levels, and all the mazes and puzzles inside. Flashlights and basic instructions are provided by the staff. All you need is your sense of adventure (and maybe some courage).
