| - Escapology is a great, extremely PROFESSIONAL location with numerous rooms to try, always has great deals and groupons available and a variety of difficulty in their rooms. There are some rooms that are VERY tough to do, but such is the name of the game with escape rooms and these rooms are clearly indicated on the company's website as to their difficulty. The easier rooms are easy enough to do with beginner-moderately experienced teams, and the tougher rooms do give you a run for your money.
All games are multi room (progressive) style which is quite fun. Gives you a "fresh" look on new puzzles a few times during the hour and helps you feel less frustrated if you were stuck on the puzzles in a previous room. Good use of common escape lock and key puzzles and new and unique puzzle designs. Professionally handled with easy clue access, and personal favorite...freedom to leave room if somebody really really needs a restroom break. Some escape locations do not allow this....if one person leaves the game is over. All staff was professional, and except for one all seemed thoroughly happy to be there in all our trips there. The one individual seemed cold and it became clear at end he was frustrated we had booked a midweek late (11pm) puzzle that meant they didn't get to go home early. If you didn't want customers to book late night puzzles, they shouldn't be offered. That was our only small flaw thus far.
We felt Cuban Crisis, Antidote and Arizona Shootout are all relatively on the same difficulty level and all easily finished within the time with a group of 2-6 if you are careful with your puzzles, write down any info you may need and use the clue help if needed at appropriate times. Good use of theme design in each room. Had great fun in Arizona Shootout with the western theme and a very creative "dark" puzzle near the end with some creepy crawlies (not real ones). Enjoyed this theme as it was not one we have encountered yet.
Buddapest Express was VERY difficult being that there was SO MUCH information. It was still a fun theme but feel like this should be completed by very experienced teams only and definitely no less than 5 or 6 team members. We became so frustrated by not even the complexity but just the amount of information for each puzzle as it progressed that we sat there the last 5 minutes in frustration before losing on time.
Mansion Murder is one of their newest games and was quite fun with a theme we haven't encountered before. We thought it would be "creepy" themed but just a heads up that is not the case. There are no "in the dark" haunted/creepy themed rooms here. It was fun with some common lock & key puzzles and some fun new ones. Only complaint here is THREE of the puzzles were broken (one broke during our use, other two were already broken). They did give us 5 more minutes on the clock for the first one, but some of these will need to be ironed out for the room to continue being successful. It was definitely a challenging room but not impossible. We struggled in the 2nd room of puzzles but really roared through the last few so if you are short of time near the end just hurry because it's not impossible to crank out the last few puzzles in short time and still get out in time.
