Kidnapped Artist – The Escape Room for the Stars of Their Own Lives
Looking for an escape room where the puzzles revolve around music?
"When the actors showed up during the game, it made the whole thing feel real. That’s when the excitement really kicked in and I had to use every bit of brainpower I had."
- Harri, 51
If you love music, singing, or performing, this escape room is made for you! You’ll get to write a song, take a peek behind the ruthless scenes of a record label, and search for a missing artist just moments before a big show.
But beware: a breathing-down-your-neck manager and gossip magazines hungry for a scoop won’t make things any easier...
More Than Just an Escape Room
Our game environment couldn't be more authentic — it takes place right in the heart of an artist community nestled in an old hospital building in Meilahti. During your escape, you might hear a saxophone, drums, or even opera echoing through the halls.The actors playing alongside you have managed to make nearly every group scream at some point.We’ve also added a unique twist to our escape experience: at the end of the game, you’ll have the chance to make your final escape… off the balcony — with ropes.

Content Warning
We are not traditional escape room. Our games are a unique mix of immersive theater, adventure, and puzzles. That’s why they’re best suited for players who are ready to dive into something deeper than just locks and number codes.
Safety
We use a safe word in all our games so you can signal if anything becomes too intense. Rope jump is entirely voluntary, and only part of the group needs to do it. The jump is supervised by lieutenant Toni Hinkka, who has overseen tens of thousands of rope jumps during his military officer service.
Accessibility
We are the kind of escape room where no one has to just watch from the sidelines. We provide audio-described clues and guidance between spaces upon request. Materials are available in Braille or large print. Our facilities are wheelchair accessible, and wheelchair users can also participate in the rope jump from the balcony.
Game Creators
All PakoMielle games are our original creations - you won’t find them anywhere else. The technical design, route planning, and effects are the work of Toni, who draws on his knowledge of urban combat tactics and human psychology. Heidi writes the stories, drawing from her experience as a live-action-role-playing game master, fantasy author, and board game designer, while also managing both customers and actors. We're both avid fans of crime fiction.
