It was a late March evening of 2015. We played with our friends in one of the first escape rooms in Sofia. After playing there, we thought - wow, how nice it would be to make our own escape room. So, in just one hour, we had made the decision to make an escape room without having any idea what we were going to do or how we were going to do it. The next day we found our place - a wonderful house in the heart of Sofia, on ul. The moment we walked in, we knew this was the place. So we signed a contract, took the keys in our hands. And that's it. For 7 months we had no idea what to do. We had no idea how to make an escape room, how to invent puzzles, how to build a business in this direction. Until he showed up. The strangest dream of my life.
I woke up with a feverish feeling. I got up and typed in the search engine: van Gogh paintings. And there it was - "Almond Tree in Bloom". I opened wikipedia and looked up information about the painting. And lo and behold: the painting was a gift from Van Gogh to his brother Theo. Then I wrote Theo Gogh. And what to see? The man from my dream.
Yes! This was the sign I was waiting for. I already knew what the theme of our room would be. We were going to do "The Genius's Insanity" because Genius himself had requested it. And so the escape room "The Genius's Insanity" was born. After the fateful dream, the plot just "poured" on me. And took on a life of its own. I'd love for you to come by and tell us later if you felt the magic. And I know it can be found under the brush of an artist.
