TL;DR
::
Room
requires
you
to
remember
where
you
found
things.
Story
elements
are
mixed
in
with
clues
to
make
the
lore
feel
more
involved,
but
this
causes
clues
to
feel
like
throw
aways
because
they're
so
story
heavy.
Rooms
are
high
quality
and
very
pretty.
There
was
only
ONE
PERSON
working
the
whole
store
by
himself
while
we
were
there.
He
didn't
say
that
he
was
by
himself,
but
I
could
tell
because
it
was
busy
and
he
was
trying
very
hard
to
do
everything
all
at
once.
Escapology
is
a
very
corporatized
escape
room.
You
can
tell
by
the
quality
of
the
lobby
and
the
details
on
the
rooms
that
is
very
well
thought
out
and
money
has
been
spent.
You
can
also
tell
by
the
fact
that
they
run
a
skeleton
crew.
Only
one
person
was
working.
One
person
checking
people
in,
resetting
rooms,
giving
hints,
doing
after
photos,
doing
entry
speeches.
One
guy.
To
be
clear,
if
Escapology
is
reading
this,
you
have
a
very
quality
employee
working
there.
He
was
exceptional
given
how
much
he
was
trying
to
do,
and
if
he
wasn't
by
himself,
whoever
he
had
with
him
should
be
fired.
The
room
was
very
pretty,
the
sound
design
was
nice.
Everything
was
lore
appropriate
and
felt
very
polished.
The
puzzles
weren't
hard
necessarily,
but
the
problem
was
how
the
clues
were
presented.
Important
clues
would
be
part
of
massive
exposition
dump
letters
that
felt
like
throw
away
set
dressing.
This
caused
us
to
nearly
fail
the
room
because
we
didn't
expect
them
to
contain
important
clues
until
the
very
end
when
it
became
apparent
that
we
had
exhausted
all
the
clues
and
what
was
left
must
hold
the
answers.
Another
detractor
was
that
the
location
you
found
a
clue
was
very
important.
I've
never
found
a
room
before
where
you
needed
to
remember
where
something
was
found
and
what
it
was
found
with.
We
needed
to
remember
that
we
found
a
flag
in
the
same
container
as
a
letter
and
who's
letter
it
was
informed
a
later
clue.
This
creates
a
situation
where
you
feel
like
you've
ruined
the
experience
for
yourself
by
not
paying
attention
when
MOST
escape
rooms
don't
require
this
kind
of
clue
gathering.
Things
are
found
in
a
flurry
in
escape
rooms
and
with
multiple
people
finding
things,
it's
hard
to
say
if
anyone
will
remember
what
was
found
with
what
and
in
which
container
it
was
found.
Overall,
I
can't
really
recommend
Escapology.
If
you're
picking
a
place
to
go,
go
somewhere
else.
If
you
find
yourself
there
because
someone
else
chose
the
venue,
you'll
probably
have
a
fine
time,
if
not
a
little
frustrating.
I
just
wouldn't
choose
to
go
there
again.
