The 10 Best Things to do Adventurous in Chania Town, Crete

February 21, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbor, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Its lighthouse still proudly overlooks the Mediterranean. Here you’ll find several cinemas and historical attractions like the Archaeological Museum, a collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts that’s housed in the former Monastery of Saint Francis. Word nerds will especially enjoy the Museum of Typography.

ClueWars - Escape Rooms and VR Chania

The ClueWars concept was born with the incentive to make a notable difference from most of the Escape Room businesses that span across the country. We are against the notion of mindless and scenario-detached room challenges that most of today's Escape Rooms present to the player as we believe that locking a team in a room only to have them navigate through dozens of riddles and puzzles that have no actual connection to a persuasive story, or an actual end goal other than unlocking a door before the countdown ends, misses a good chance to offer a more complete experience to the player, one that gives real weight to the underlying story and immerses the player into a movie-like experience. Playing at ClueWars requires the teams to immerse themselves in the story in order to get past the organic and story-connected challenges that they face in a linear and progressive manner. In ClueWars you can also try Virtual Reality games for teams up to 4 people!

We've tried a lot of escape rooms in many different countries and this is by far the best. All three room is well executed and the staff is verry friendly. The "silent hill" room is a unique experience, try it if you dare.
