First off, Shoutout to my friend Aaron for hooking me up with this awesome experience here at Escapology! The game rooms cost $30 per person and you only get 1 hour to escape
When you make your purchase, they make you sign a waiver/ agreement form that's usually on their touch screen displays but the WiFi was down so we did paperwork lol.
We chose to do the Shanghai room which is one of the harder rooms they have. I'm not going to spoil the fun but they have awesome employees/techs who guide you throughout the game. Before you start, they set ground rules for you to follow; so don't destroy their property and be mindful of others.
They start the game off by showing a storyline video in the room to make it feel more like an adventure related to the room/game you're in. Afterwards it displays a countdown in the screen so you can keep track of the time. If you get stuck on a clue too long, they can also display hints on the screen too.
I had a blast trying to solve clues in the Shanghai room. And yes, it took us 50 minutes to escape... the best score for that room is 22 minutes tops!! These people are very clever to have finished that fast!
Escapology has over 8 different rooms to try from. I recommend you try one of them out of all, if you're an addicted escape artist. don't be overwhelmed if you think it's not possible to escape because they have easy to hard level rooms too choose from. Good luck to all of you
