Escape rooms at Vellamonkatu
The Match Factory
Our newest escape room experience opened in September 2024!
From 1926 to 1975, a match factory operated in the Santalahti area. However, the factory was forced to shut down due to a massive explosion in the mid-1970s.
After the explosion, the match factory remained abandoned for a long time, but now new construction is finally underway. However, the project has faced numerous setbacks, and construction has come to a complete halt—contractors have refused to work on-site due to a series of ongoing, unexplained accidents.
No explanation has been found for these incidents. Most recently, a team of researchers specializing in paranormal phenomena was hired to investigate, but they abruptly abandoned their work and fled without saying a word.
Now, the project leader has called upon you for help. Can you uncover what is happening at the factory? What is causing these unexplained accidents?

Finlayson’s Electric Light
Finlayson’s electric light opened in the summer of 2023!
Exciting times are ahead in Tampere, as the Finlayson factory is about to become the first place in the Nordic countries to have electric lighting!
You and a group of esteemed guests have been invited to witness the grand test illumination on March 15, 1882. Upon arrival, you and your companion are hurried to the back of the factory. The assistant engineer informs you that something is amiss – the test bulb won’t ignite, and the project’s chief engineer is missing! The assistant engineer hopes that you can use your expertise to figure out what’s wrong in the dynamo room.
Can you fix the issue and ignite the lighting? Will Tampere become the first city in the Nordic countries to receive electric lighting?
