At first I was a bit puzzled by the unconventional name and small differences on the rules but after playing the game it didn't matter much. I'm a big fan on the computer game where the idea is based on (basically you're locked in a room for an hour and need to solve clues to escape) and was amazed by the quality of the set's decor and the difficulty of the puzzles. It is definitely worth the experience. You have just over an hour to 'exit' the room but don't be sad if you don't, the crew will happily let you out. They're friendly that way and will go over the puzzles giving you hints along the course of the game. Recommend it for a pre night out with a small group of friends (up to four, but three would prob be best), and it is a bit out of town or the busy areas of Kalio, so bring your map to find it ;) nevertheless there is a tram connection just nearby. A fun experience for family and friends!

Best burger I had during my recent visit to Helsinki! Wait, it was the only burger I had while…read morevisiting Helsinki. The taste, presentation & price made for an awesome experience. I ordered a Bacon Cheese Burger & received a perfectly medium cooked patty with a pile of tasty fries. The burger was seasoned well & cooked to perfection, I was quite pleased with the flavor & constitution of the entire thing. The textures of the soft bun with the crispy bacon & crunchy produce worked nicely with the grilled beef patty. The fries were also something to write home about. They were cooked to a beautiful golden crisp & salted generously. I washed the feast down with a couple mugs of a local tap beer called Karhu, it was a flavorful amber. Sports Academy only offers 5 beers on tap. But, a plethora of bottled beer is available. They also offer a decent selection of spirits for harder drinks. The venue could use a few more TV's considering it is a sports bar. The interior & bathrooms could use some updating. The bathroom was dingy & dirty. Head to the bar to place your order & be sure to grab utensils & condiments before returning to your table. The entire meal & drinks were a good value which was quite a surprise. I had read Finland was going to be the most expensive stop on my trip to Scandinavia & Russia. I would dine here again.

There are plenty of big screen TV's to watch sports and there are plenty of beers on tap. This is a good place to stop by if you need a quick break from walking around downtown Helsinki.
