    Interesting experience. This is best for people who are well versed in finding and deciphering clues. We did the lowest level and it was a real struggle. We did poorly but it was good to laugh at our own incompetence.

    This was a great escape room. Very high quality and the interior design of the general areas were very nice. If it helps you gauge the difficulty, we were on the last clue of their medium ranked room before the time ran out and we had 2 adults and 3 kids.

    Desperately in need of a facelift. The core puzzle is ok, about average as far as escape rooms go, but all the props show their age including some that didn't even work requiring (very lackluster) staff injects. Value for price was not there.

    A gorgeous and well organized escape place. I could just sit and look at all the stuff in their lobby all day. They are serious about the escaping! No phones and you can't start before the video ends. We loved it, didn't escape but almost made it out. Highly recommend if you are in Montgomery.

    Great escape room experience in a good location. Helpful staff, reasonable prices, nice decor, and well-designed rooms. My friends and I completed the Arizona Shootout and the Cuban Crisis. We enjoyed both. Definitely recommend.

    Family and friends did this on the 13th of May and had a great time. The puzzle was a lot of fun, and solving a murder is always a good thing. We will probably do this again.

    Customer service was great! The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Our escape room was difficult but we made it to the last room. It was challenging and the layout was nice but the room temperature was a bit warm, only suggestion would be a little air flow considering a group of 6. However, I'd highly recommend this place for a night out of fun.

    The only way I was going to escape was if I was busting down walls. Know your lane. It was Cool to watch the people I was with try to figure it out though. I was literally no use. My rating clearly reflects my personal enjoyment. I'm not saying that a clue solving intellectual wouldn't like escape rooms.

    We did the Budapest express room. Having never done an escape room before I wasn't sure what to expect but escapology delivers on a fun and challenging experience.

    Went with a group. I came after the group got started. There was no one in the front, and no way to ring for someone. I waited over 10 minutes, when I caught a worker going from one door to another. He apologized for the wait and was very friendly throughout our event. We had a blast! I will definitely be back!

    Absolutely abismal, 1-star is being gracious. I tried giving this place 3 chances, but between the worn out, inoperable equipment and the inattentive staff, this has made for a truly miserable experience. It’s not just asking for clues, only to be presented with answers to things we’d already solved minutes earlier, that bothered us, but nothing robs the joy out of succeeding in a room as watching the timer tick on for 3 minutes while you wait for someone to casually escort you from the room. I will not be returning, I love escape rooms too much to suffer this kind of disappointment. By the end it wasn’t worth the money much less worth the effort of asking for a refund. Suffice to say, there are no escape rooms in Montgomery.

    I hadn't been to an escape room in YEARS and was super excited to do the Code room with a group of friends, but almost 10 minutes into the game someone had to come in to open one of the safes with a screwdriver because it was broken. Then once we solved another combination, we spent 10 minutes trying to open another safe and wasted clues trying to get it, but the safe's batteries were dead so three attendants had to come in and try to open the safe. Although the attendants came in fixed the issue and gave us some time back on the clock, it really ruined the hype that goes with an escape room and messed with the atmosphere of trying needing to "escape" each time the front door had to be opened to get assistance. I'd love to give this place another shot with my friends if the experience in another room would be better.

    Did the shootout theme and it was a lot of fun with our group of 6 people. We beat the timer however hindsight being 20/20 we see where we could have improved our time. Very fun time and am already planning a return trip.

  • 4/5 R. J. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time trying an escape room. It was fun to try and solve the clues and puzzles. I would definitely recommend going with family and friends. Also, go with people that have patience. The puzzles can get challenging and it helps to be with people that don't get frustrated easily. Teamwork makes the dream work!

    A Good Place To Take A Nap! It was deader than Hell inside! When I think of the word "Escapology", I think excitement, challenging, & fun. You won't find any of that at this place though! I booked the Cuban Missile Crisis for myself and 4 family members on Mother's Day weekend. This review mainly focuses on the first & last interaction with the employee. Upon entering, it was quiet as a mouse. No one was there to greet us, and we heard no one in the back. We waited a couple of minutes then I asserted my voice saying "hello, hello"? Out came an employee who didn't look or act like she wanted to be there. She asked us the normal info to get us set up. We were led to the room, given the instructions, and given the green light to start. I loved how the rooms were decorated! It was really nice. The props were pretty cool and nifty. I feel like for 5 people, we should've been able to get past 44%, however, that wasn't the case. I attribute this to my family members who quickly burned out on me due to losing interest or getting frustrated over the level of difficulty. That and lack of team work. I do not at all believe the assignment itself was too hard! If you have the right mindset and you're willing to think together, work together, and communicate effectively, there's no reason you shouldn't finish at 100% by the end of one hour! So that part was our fault. At the end, the same lady entered the room telling us she couldn't share the rest of the answers since we didn't complete over 50%, which wasn't a big deal at all, but there was no friendliness at all. No enthusiasm or spirit. Not what I would expect at a place like this. Just dull with limited speaking the entire time. The Kicker: As we were about to leave, she said "I need to take a photo of you before you leave to send to my boss/manager to prove you were here". What was that about, Escapology? The experience would've been great had the employee slowed down her speaking during the instructions part. We were new to this experience, and I had two older people present in my party who can't hear very well. It would've been nice for her to show consideration for that and slow it down when going over instructions. It was like she was just ready to get it over with and go back to whatever she was doing. I wish she had shown more enthusiasm, built up more excitement, and presented herself with a supportive, patient demeanor. That would've made this 1st/Last visit a lot more memorable.

    Place was great! Would recommend for a group of friends while hanging out downtown. We picked Th3 C0D3 and it was a good challenge, figured it out with 8 mins left. The host were friendly and joked around to keep the atmosphere light. The lobby was decorated with a bunch of cool artsy items. I would do it again next time I'm in town.

    Fun adventure. Challenging clues especially the black light one! Pretty fun themes and the folk that work here are super friendly! Would highly recommend

    First time at Escapology, but my husband and I have done escape rooms previously. Escapology is very nice and the staff was great. The room we did was excellent, fun, and great for people who love solving puzzles. Thankfully, we were able to escape our room in time~ :) I would give it 5 stars, but there were a few kinks that dampered the experience because it caused us to lose time. For example, there were two safes that were finnicky to open and even had staff help us open one and clarify it wasnt our fault. If a few faulty thing were fixed, it would be 5 stars. 👌🏽

    This is a really nice place. The staff is super friendly. Although we didn't finish the room in time it was for sure a blast.

    credentials: my boyfriend and i are avid escape room participants with 30+ escape rooms in the books. we did the cuban nuclear response room and it was terrible on another level. clues were not linear and extremely random. nothing made sense or was connected. we were expected to intuitively push on the wall to open secret doors, and every code/advancement was randomly put together. we had a horrible time even though we did escape. storyline was lacking/weak and neither of us were bought into the concept at all. do not recommend this room to anyone ever and i wish i had gotten my money back

👍👍 My teenagers and I did the Doctor Death room with the actor. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but as it turns out, it was legitimately terrifying. We escaped (with help) in 59:58. Outside the room, with employees, also *****. They were patient, personable, and genuine. They clearly love what t...
