👍👍 Went here with two others to celebrate my 25th birthday. First time going to an escape room as well. I loved every minute of it. Great experience, kind staff who explained everything to us patiently, and we had a blast! People often mention room, experience, time, nice, escape, great, staff,

    Very nice escape room. It is a bit story driven, which is very unique. Decent puzzle, nice decor and all in all a great experience. The owner and game master is very nice, and really takes care of his guests. It is perhaps not the most professional of places, but they love what they do and it is very cozy and welcoming.

    I don't want to give a lower rating than this because I can see that there is a lot of love and potential behind the design of the games and I want to encourage you to make better ones in the future. I have been to The Alley twice and did The Bank Heist and The Ancient Mystery. Both times unfortunately somehing was broken. The Bank Heist was a lot of fun and we managed to finish the room so it did not disturb us too much. But when I did The Ancient Mystery I kind of wish they did not let us do it. It unfortunately was so broken that it actually prevented us from completing the game :( The staff came in and just triggered the ending we had chosen during puzzle solving on their phone, we were a bit sad about it cus it broke some of the magic of the game. We were later informed that they knew The Ancient Mystery was broken (things missing from walls, lights not working, some detectors were not working etc.). If they knew it was broken, I would have prefered that they would not let us in at all or made a counter-offer. I am a bit sad about this, because I had a lot of fun the first time but I don't think I will return anytime soon unfortunately. Wish you the best.

    Thanks for the great escape room experience. It was very well made and I have completely immersed into the experience!

    Bankinbrottet is great for a smaller team. Very fun and intuitive. The last hand was alright, the game room was pretty small and cramped. Not so many details overall and not super atmospheric, but it was still a good experience overall. Sjöboden on the other hand, stay away from that one. That one is just a big mess and needs to be remade or removed asap. You get overwhelmed with padlocks and locked boxes and you're not sure where to begin or what puzzle applies to what box. And it's really small and cramped inside.

    It was the firts time for us in an Escape room and it ended with a great family time. The staff was very nice and professional. We tried the "Bankungbrottet" rum with 10 and 13 years old children and we manage to extract the diamond in time but only just so for a first one it was a good level of entertainment. We recommend the alley and we will be back again to try another room!

    The bank robbery was a lot of fun! The screen would display certain hints at certain times to make sure that you won't get stuck and at least reach the final room by the end!

    We had a team activity and played The Ancient History. This one is tough, abstract but great. Very engaging, thrilling and super fun. Go for it without any second thoughts.

  • 5/5 Zor N. 3 years ago on Google
    This was definitely the best escape room I have ever been. I played two of the rooms and they were excellent. The game design is really good and I was amazed by the technology level. Some things looked like magic, literally. I totally recommend it and I can wait to play the next rooms!

  • 5/5 Ela 4 years ago on Google
    Looks amazing and authentic, puzzles were hard but not impossible. Hints were given as riddles, which I liked a lot. Fun twist with a story driven escape room where you as players can chose the ending if you make it to the end. Charming and friendly staff. A super fun experience that I most definitaly will do again!

    Good fun, but at least in our room it was hard to understand how well we performed

  • 5/5 Jamie P. 5 years ago on Google
    Had such a great time at The Alley!! Went there for my sister's bday and we did The Control Room. A super exciting and fun experience, guaranteed to get your heart racing. They're super accommodating (plant based milk with the coffee and women's hygiene items in the bathroom😍) and have the best service I've ever experienced at an escape room venue. 10/10 would recommend and will have to try their other rooms as well!

    Very well-built newcomer in the Malmö Escape room scene. Clever and quite elaborate puzzles made for a surprisingly good time. Their focus on story driven scenarios made them stand out from their competitors, and the owner/guide/expert was such a nice guy!

  • 2/5 Laura Duran L. 1 year ago on Google
    The personnel was nice, and the place is overall nice too, but we were 6 people and were a bit disappointed. We played "the last hand". It took us half the time to complete the task, not because we're escaperoom-experienced geniuses but because of a low number of puzzles to complete for that many people. 2040 SEK for half an hour seemed expensive.

    Really fun, and they offer a small student discount.

  • 5/5 Henry G. 6 months ago on Google
    Called in the morning, to see if we could book, they said it could only be done online. The staff member then did the booking on their own phone to help. On arrival, the staff member was really welcoming, explained everything very thoroughly, and was extremely pleasant and friendly. Amazing experience.

👍👍 I played both rooms in an experienced team of 2. Anigma has very fresh and personal touches throughout the whole experience, and games are of good quality. We especially enjoyed the redemption robbery as it had some unique puzzles and the layout was super believable and exciting. The best thing here...
