The original puzzle games creator and a few years later still going strong, Attila Gyurkovics launched the first puzzle games in Budapest around 4 years ago, under the Parapark banner at Gondozó kert, a ruined pub in the 8th district. Little can he have known what a sensation these games would prove, as puzzle or escape games are now one of Budapest's most popular activities. The success of Parapark has spawned a host of imitators, not only in Hungary, but as far afield as Barcelona. Some of course, are better than others. Of those we have tried in Budapest, Trap 'Team Race Against Puzzles' seems like it should also last the distance. Even Parapark's Attila Gyurkovics says they too do a good job, and he is remarkably sanguine about the number of companies who have sprung up, believing the good ones will endure.
