    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.

    Went to 𝐄𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧 with my friend earlier. We failed the Mona Lisa room. It was very challenging and I should’ve read the description more closely. Still, a great time

    The speakeasy portion sets a nice ambiance but the room we had seemed to have some broken or very flimsy puzzles. Had a few moments were it didn’t seem like we had a game master when we needed one. Having a lock that can time out after you try it seems cheap when you’re paying for the time.

    Fun, there were nine of us.. The rooms are small and it gets hot pretty fast..besides that you only get one hour to get through three rooms... I don't think that's enough time.. But still fun...

    Had a great time with the family, the rooms had a great amount of detail and the props were well thought out. The staff were great at explaining and added to the experience. I like that they have a leader board in the lobby and you get to add your team name.

    I had a really good time with my friends doing Who Stole Mona. It was actually pretty challenging, but we were able to use the tips and make it with 41 seconds left. I want to go back and try another one.

    I went here with my friends and we were a group of four. We did the lost treasure room and it was so much fun! We were so close to escaping, we had just had to decipher three more things, but we ran out of time. I would definitely go again

    Good afternoon everyone, my biggest recommendation to everyone is to avoid this location! The manager is extremely rude and vicious. He was very disrespectful towards me and my friends, stating that i myself caused troubles in the building and beyond, which is absolutely false. I am now banned from this location after doing absolutely nothing. i would come here every week spending large quantities at this location. I would not go there again. Plus the manager is so emo

    Escapology has amazing escape rooms that are both challenging and fun. The rooms are very interactive and the atmosphere is amazing with the countdown being integrated into the story of at the very least the room we did (Antidote). This, among many other things such as background audio and props that weren't part of any puzzle, really made the immersion and overall experience top tier. 100% will come back next time I'm in town!

    We did Budapest Express & Who Stole Mona and loved them both! The puzzles were unique and just challenging enough. Our game masters were quick and helpful, and Emily (who took us to our rooms) was so nice and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend enough!

    Just left we had never been to an escape room b.f. went in and we.waited nearly 15 min before anyone came out girl walked passed didn't even great is and went and got another girl. Then when she came out got us very little explanation of how things would go. When finished we waited to be greated about 10 min. Then walked passed where employees were setting on phones. Liked the idea of but not this location especially for being our first time. Young kids that didn't pay much attention.
