In Dagestan, two participants died during a quest in the “House of Horrors”

There was a fire in the “House of Horrors” in Makhachkala. The cause was the ignition of gasoline liquid during a gaming session. As a result, two visitors to the quest room died from their burns.

The dead are 19-year-old Asiyat and 25-year-old Madina. Asiyat’s 20-year-old husband, Said, was also injured and is in intensive care with burns to 50% of his body.

The description of the quest states that visitors are handcuffed to chairs and placed in cages. The participants' task is to get out before the maniacs return. The fire started when the animator set fire to a special glove and threw it towards the kerosene-filled chainsaws.

According to Baza, the owner of the House of Horrors, Huseyn Ibragimov, recently installed a fire extinguishing system, but for some reason it did not work. As Ibragimov told investigators, at the time of the tragedy he was in Kaspiysk. Ibragimov did not know about the burning glove trick, because of which two girls died, and did not approve it. It was an improvisation by the animator.
