Traveler reviews
Katie Dalton
★★★★★4 years agoWe did the prison escape room and it was brilliant. There were only two of us, so it was a bit tricky, but we had a great time. Sonia was extremely welcoming and friendly - and gave us help when we needed it! Highly recommend and we’d certainly return to do the other escape room. Gracias Sonia!

★★★★★Edited 8 years agoWe had a great time at X-door. The puzzles were appropriately difficult, not too hard. Would definitely recommend if you have seen enough museums in Malaga.
