Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My team and I solved the Ground Zero challenge. It was very interesting, and the hour passed very quickly, so immersed were we in solving the puzzle. It was our first time in an escape room. We liked it so much, that we intend to do it again, but this time with the challenge of Pedro and Inês :)

We did this escape game today, the "Ground zero". It was an amazing experience, it was our first time. The owner of the escape game was really cheerful, very kind. I highly recommend this escape game, anyone can do it, you just need your brain on! The host can talk in english if you need, without any problems.
I loved it!

We were 4 people and we tried the most difficult game between the two. It was so well done and immersive! Every detail was cured and elaborated and the story was pretty intriguing. Also the owner Eduardo has been really friendly and helpful. We had so much fun!

We've tried our fair share of escape rooms and this one introduced so many new, clever puzzles it felt like our first time all over again. The game has a great atmosphere; mysterious and suspenseful without being scary by immersing players in a historical Portuguese story of murder, revenge, and more. We highly recommend this experience and recommend you be mindful of red herrings!

Our family had a good time at the Brain Maze. The room(s) were set up with great props and the puzzle is challenging.

HOTEL IGNEZ
(This review was first posted on Escape-Aide. ★★★★: Great room)
Hotel Ignez is full of surprises. If you’ve ever done their other room “Ground Zero”, you’ll be very surorised by the starting room. It was two of us escaping in 52:51 minutes in April 2018 but we had a fair amount of clues. Some puzzles are very unique but always stay in theme, we loved it. The owner of the escape room company, Brainmaze built his two rooms himself and was very passionate about his work and took his time showing us how some things work and talked us through his creations, very highly recommended!

GROUND ZERO
(This review was first posted on Escape-Aide. ★★★: Good room)
The two current rooms at Brainmaze are based on Coimbra’s historical events. The Ground Zero has really clever puzzles and a lot of objects that are red herrings but there to make you to feel immersed. We had an extra difficulty due to the fact that we don’t speak Portuguese even though the room is perfectly doable in English. We may or may not have cheated on a puzzle that confused us, it did say to not manipulate the item in a certain way but misunderstood the sign and just… broke the puzzle. But overall a really good room that I’ll highly recommend! It was two of us and we escaped in 52:57 minutes.

Thanks Lise for your comment and personal impression of the games. It was a pleasure to host you: for the sympathy, complicity and thirst for challenges. By the way, you did not break the puzzle: the idea was to add a risky component to the game, providing the information you need to continue only when you realize you've manipulated the item in a wrong way.

Escape room was a good way to enjoy Coimbra. We loved the fact that the history of Coimbra is still incorporated in the puzzle. Eduardo did a great job creating a challenging masterpiece for everyone to enjoy. You've got an impressive mind my man!

We enjoyed a lot this escaperoom! The details about the city, the university and students. We were 2 persons and we had some struggle to finish it, so I would say it has medium level difficulty. The GM was so friendly!!
