About Us
Enigma Quests
Our acclaimed escape rooms combine interconnected puzzles, immersive locations, and captivating stories, offering teams of 3 to 5 a truly unforgettable time.
With just 60 minutes on the clock, you’ll need to work together if you want to succeed! From magical tests to daring heists, you’re sure to find a room that’s right for you. We have expanded over the years to offer 3 varied escape rooms from our new Holborn location complementing our incredible Escape Arcade® experience.
Opening in 2015, Enigma Quests was one of the first escape room venues in the UK, with founders Nargiza and Dmitri Chihaiglo recognising the amazing potential of these interactive experiences for families, friends, and colleagues.
While there are now thousands of escape rooms across the country, we still stand out thanks to our fantastic levels of interactivity, our brilliant puzzle designs, and the amazing service we offer.
We offer 3 varied missions from our new Holborn location, complementing our incredible Escape Arcade® experience. We also have an on-site bar, Beyond the Web, specialising in a range of themed cocktails and mocktails.
Our team has worked hard to maintain what makes us great as we expand to additional games and locations, helping us build an amazing community of fans. We’ve entertained tens of thousands of players from across the UK and beyond, and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Our Values
We take immersive experiences seriously, and every room we build goes through an elaborate design and testing process to ensure it offers the perfect level of challenge for players.
Maximising the experience of every customer is crucial to us, from continually renovating each room to keep it pristine, to training our expert EQIC Handlers. We want every player, whether they’re an escape room fanatic or trying one out for their first time, to have an absolutely amazing experience.
Your Escape Room Experience
In each of our escape rooms, you’ll be guided by an EQIC Handler, who’ll introduce you to the rules of escape rooms and the world of your game, and will accompany you over the radio throughout.
You’ll have just 60 minutes once your game starts, with your EQIC Handler there to point you in the right direction if you get stuck. Once you’ve completed your game, they’ll also debrief your team, talking you through how you performed.
Many of our players come to us for their first escape room experience, and our team of EQIC Handlers are there to make sure they have a fantastic time.
Escape rooms are interactive experiences set within detailed multi-room environments. In them, you and your team will have 60 minutes to solve a range of interconnected puzzles in order to accomplish an ultimate goal. Traditionally, this goal was to escape the room itself, but with us, you’ll be following a story especially designed to lead you through the narrative, complete with an exciting climax and a satisfying end, from completing a bank heist to solving a magical mystery.
Puzzles will involve everything from deduction to memory to tests of co-operative thinking, with the sheer range in each room allowing each team member a time to shine. From family days out to team-building experiences, escape rooms have become a global phenomenon, and Enigma Quests offer some of the highest-rated rooms in London.

Dmitri
Co-Founder and Questmaster
Dmitri initially raised the idea of venturing into the world of escape rooms, and that decision led him to today being in charge of all things technical for Enigma Quests. Without his know-how, endless patience and keen observations, Enigma Quests would not be where it is today. As competitive as he is knowledgeable, Dmitri has – along with Nargiza – completed over 600 escape rooms worldwide, and this veritable breadth of experience and expertise makes him a formidable opponent and a coveted teammate.
Nargiza
Co-Founder and Questmaster
Nargiza is fondly known as the company hurricane, a firm believer in more is more. She is usually found dashing from one exciting idea to the next, executing each with a flair and a passion that attests to her unstoppable energy and upbeat perspective. Her innovative attitude to creating applies to everything from puzzle designing to prop making to story refining to decision making, and she’s rarely as excited as she is when she sees an opportunity to learn or experience something new.
