Chainsaw bloodbath ‘House of Horrors’ quest recreation goes tragically incorrect
A chainsaw massacre quest game has gone tragically wrong as a fire erupted in a mocked up ‘dungeon’ with participants still handcuffed to their chairs leaving two dead.
Newly-wed Asiyat, 19, died just five days after her wedding as she took part in a quest game in a ‘House of Horrors’ with her new husband Said, 21, and her friend Madina, 25.
Asiyat was hand-strapped to a chair in the dungeon as part of the horror game in a basement of a house in the Russian city of Makhachkala.
Her friend Madina, a personal trainer, was also strapped to a chair when the game’s animator doused his glove in petrol and set it on fire ‘to increase the feeling of fear’, before dropping the petrol can and thereby triggering the fire.
Madina suffered fatal burns covering 97 per cent of her body and Asiyat died from carbon monoxide poisoning, while her husband, Said, is still in hospital fighting for his life with 50 per cent burns – not knowing his new wife is dead.

The animator reportedly told the Russian Investigative Committee that after he dropped the petrol can, the chainsaw ignited into flames.
The victims were locked inside the dark horror chamber and could not escape. Staff at the ‘attraction’ could not find the keys to unlock the victims.
People in a next door cafe saw smoke and called the fire brigade, who smashed their way in. Asiyat – daughter of the chief doctor at the city’s main hospital – and Madina were reportedly both alive when rescuers found them but later died in hospital.
A witness said: ‘To scare the girl, they first handcuffed her, chained her to a chair, and then poured lighter on her and wanted to simulate arson, to scare her.
‘They struck a lighter and the girl burst into flames. Her friend tried to put it out, and a man tried to find fire extinguishers. When he returned, both women were unconscious. One burned on a chair.’

A family source said: ‘My sister Asiyat got married last week. She asked her husband to go on this quest. During the quest, the animator handcuffed 25-year-old Madina.
‘He was going to do a trick, doused her with fuel and struck her with a lighter to scare her, and the fire broke out. Madina started to burn.
‘Asiysat’s husband took off his T-shirt and tried to put it out, but it didn’t work. He ran out to find a fire extinguisher, it was difficult to get out, it was dark there and there were labyrinths everywhere.
‘He tried to break the bars on the window, but he couldn’t… He looked for the women with his hands and tripped over Asiyat, trying to save her friend.’
