“I didn’t like it due to various reasons. 2 of 3 participants chained with short chains, therefore limited possibility to explore the room and to support each other slowing down the pace for at least 15 minutes right at the beginning. Light way too dark I could not even see the numbers of the lock. Several locks seriously worn out, one didnt work at all and needed intervention by the guide to proceed, despite right number. Guide was inattentive, his hints refered to already solved steps not following up with the team effort. stethoscope with razor sharp ear plug, I injured my ear sticking it in to solve the heartbeat…”
