Third time's the charm! Escapology is the third escape room business I've been to and the first one I've successfully made it out of- not that it was any easier than the others. Experience here was so positive that I've now been by twice, once with coworkers as a team building activity and another visit as a date. If you successfully make it out, you get a group photo and a jelly bracelet as your prize, with record times kept on an online leaderboard, and a discount card for your next visit!
The two rooms I've done so far are Narco (you've been kidnapped by a drug lord and need to find the evidence to put him away) and Antidote (search a mad scientist's lair to cure a deadly virus)- both rooms were well organized with high-quality decor and design for a convincing experience. The puzzles and riddles were difficult but not impossible to figure out, they made sense rather than just being deliberately difficult. Made it out of both rooms but with 5 minutes or less to spare!
The two things that stand out most about this business are the attention to detail to create an engrossing experience and the customer service- a game master is watching you while you solve the room, providing nudges as needed and providing feedback so you don't get totally stuck on something minor. Great experience, looking forward to coming back for the Budapest Express room!
