For context my standard for escape rooms is The Escape Game:

If escape game is 10/10 this place would be 8/10. The themes were great, the puzzles were hard, the staff was amazing and the waiting area was comfortable. The difference between this and The escape game is the tech involved in the puzzles and how a lot of the puzzles make sense in the escape game where as a couple of these rooms have puzzles that were a bit of a stretch. Some rooms are linear and others are not so the variety was appreciated. You get a discount if you book with the game masters name if you book it the same day of the room.

They didn’t incentivize 5* reviews which automatically gives them a star.

In top 3 companies, this would be my second choice.

We came here with a group of 9 girls for my daughter's 10th birthday (didn't do the birthday package, just the game). The staff was patient and accommodating. I waited in the lobby (roomy, comfy and clean) while the girls worked through the game over the hour. All of them agreed the game was FUN, suspenseful and creepy. They played Antidote with no adults in the room and were able to narrowly "escape" by the end of the hour.

Highly recommend!! The game was really fun but I really want to give a special shout-out to Brady and Sydney. They were really polite and helpful. I love the fact that their party room has everything you need. We just walked in with our cake and water bottles. We had ordered pizzas for our party through them. They have plates, napkins, utensils, wet wipes, Ziploc bags. The party room was clean and ready with a red table cover. It was one of the easiet birthday parties ever. Thank you!

We had a great time playing Pirates at this location. Our game master, Jordan, was helpful, answered all our questions, and was always ready with a clue. The front staff, Brady and Emily, were patient and welcoming while we got situated to begin. And Owen offered assistance whenever we got stuck. We will be back.

We’ve played a number of games with Escapology, and have always enjoyed ourselves! We recently had an experience that wasn’t up to par, and we provided feedback to management. They responded quickly and thoroughly—it was clear how seriously they took our feedback! They were specific with their plans for ameliorating our concerns, and we have no doubt that our single subpar experience was a one-off. We highly recommend Escapology to all, and we look forward to coming back in the very near future!

I came to escapology many years ago and the quality of the place is still as exceptional as I remember. Owen was a great host. The other staff members John, Brady, Mackenzie, and Caroline were all super nice and friendly.

You can't go wrong with playing games from Escapology. The staff at this location are a lot nicer. Some game master are better at assisting you. But, overall this is not a bad location. All the games, are pretty good, definitely recommend on adding them to your lists.

My only issue is once the game master wasn't paying attention and asks is where we were are in the game, which pulls you out from being immersed into the game. But, overall I definitely recommend.
