    We, Team Bad Math, set a new record for the Virus room by solving it in 34 minutes flat!
    Daniel B.

    Our escape room team, Team Bad Math, set a new record for Rush Escape Room's Virus room, solving the room in 34 minutes flat. The previous record was over 37 minutes. We set this record on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, so hopefully the record still stands by the time you read this. This was the 5th escape room record we've set in metro Atlanta over the last 12 months. OK, now that my gloating is out of the way, on to the review. Rush Escape Room opened in July 2016 and is one of about 15-20 escape room businesses to open in metro Atlanta over the last few years. Each escape room business typically has multiple rooms. At the time we completed Virus, Rush only had one room. Their 2nd room, Cabin, will probably be open by the time you read this. Booking a room regularly costs $25 per person. We booked through Groupon and paid roughly half that. Here's a link to the deal page: https://www.groupon.com/deals/rush-escape-room. Hopefully, the deals haven't expired yet. We had fun at Virus. I've now played 26 different rooms in the Atlanta area and have yet to experience one where I didn't have fun. However, some rooms are better constructed than others with higher quality production values (e.g. sound, scenery, props) leading to more realistic and immersive environments, more interesting and ingenious puzzles and clues, and alarming or surprising twists. I thought Virus was OK. There really wasn't anything in the room that I, or most of us on the team for that matter, hadn't seen before. The maximum number of people allowed for the room is 8 and we had 7. I can see why they pushed the room max to 8, but it might be better at 6. I felt the room was a little small for 7 people and there weren't enough clues for all of us to be working on something simultaneously. Other rooms might encourage teamwork or puzzles to be solved in parallel, but the trail of clues for Virus was pretty much linear (which isn't a bad thing for smaller groups). Production value was more low budget. That said, I think Virus is great for first-timers or those just getting into the escape room craze. Our team has done 20+ rooms so we've been through our fair share of rooms with a virus, lab, infectious disease outbreak, or zombie apocalypse theme. We're looking for something new and different. Two things that were different about Virus for me: (1) The time limit was only 45 minutes as opposed to the standard 60. (2) *SPOILER ALERT* There were a lot of red herring locks. I'm not sure how I feel about that. *END SPOILERS* Gamers will appreciate that Virus is a huge nod to Resident Evil with Umbrella Corporation logos everywhere along with RE music playing in the background. Rush has a spacious lobby with comfortable seating, giant Jenga to play while you wait, and a small conference room that's used for event space. Along with the Virus and Cabin escape rooms, they also have a "rage" room (#RageATL) where you can suit up and smash stuff -- glass bottles, computer equipment, you name it. That's the first I've ever seen of that type of room in Atlanta. Owner Reece Huber and his coworker were both really friendly and welcoming. All of the escape room owners we've met around town are very enthusiastic about what they do and Reece is no exception. He's energetic and pumps you up. We'll probably be back to try Cabin. :)

    We had such a great time! We did the "Cabin" room and escaped with ONE second left. We used all three of our hints, and the guide threw in one extra one for us. Thanks! :) We made an online reservation through Groupon, and the staff didn't verify our reservation or who we were when we got there. That seemed odd... but thankfully no one took our reservation. Also our game didn't start at the scheduled time (about 10 minutes late) because the previous party started late. The staff didn't tell us they were running behind until we after we caught up with them (they were all in the back room) after our game was supposed to start. So, my recommendations would be to confirm reservations and to let customers know as early as possible if there's a delay. Other than that, we had a great time... and will definitely be back!

    "Have you ever been to an escape room? It's like interactive theater, but with puzzles." -- The Big Bang Theory: Season 8 | Episode 16 Rush is the newest Escape Room company on the Atlanta scene, but it has changed things up a bit. If you are a regular at rooms, you are used to 60 minutes to escape, but alas, this time you only get 45! So be forewarned. Located in Norcross, just off Jimmy Carter and I-85, in the someone typical office park location, and someone easy to find, Rush Escape Room has only one room so far, with a second one very close to opening. They offer up to 8 people for this room, but there is not a ton of space for 8 adults, or a lot of 8 people to be working on - 6 is definitely plenty for this room, especially for an experienced group. As with the usual rooms, you are given a walkie talkie and 3 clues you can use if you get stuck. Atypical from other rooms, the game master does not seem to be watching you in the room on close-circuit TV. When we asked for help (twice - once, it turns out we didn't need to), we had to tell him what we had found and where we were in process. The theme is virus - find the virus and the anti-virus and the key card to escape. No major backstory is given before entering the room, except our mission. There are a ton of virus and outbreak rooms in the city - save the world by stopping the outbreak. This was in line. The only other thing we were told was that the owner designed this room based on overseas styles of rooms. Having not done any overseas - that didn't mean much to us. ***MILD SPOILERS*** Do not read this if you want to do this room. So my issues with this room are small, but there are a lot of detractors in this room. Locks you don't open, cabinets not involved, and when you open the first main door and fine 6 flashlights, 4 out of the 6 died shortly after turning them on. When you are working an entire room in mostly darkness, the flashlights need to work. There is so much stuff that is never utilized and in a shorter timeframe, that was utterly frustrating. ***END OF SPOILERS*** Overall, we had a lot of fun. We did set the new record for the room at 34 minutes and probably would have escaped sooner, but we didn't realized we had found everything. We do look forward to their next room - The Cabin. A new theme and new challenge.

    This was a great experience with my family for a fun birthday event! I'd do this again and it takes teamwork to get all of the clues.

    Talk about an adrenaline rush! We did the Virus Room and got out with 7 secs to spare. Make sure you take your logically inclined friends lol. I went with a group of 4 and there was another group of 4 and a kid with us but the host reminded us that we were a team. EVERY. THING means and can plug into something. I'm ready to go back and do another one!!

    We might have lost but it was great!!

Long story short, buying 2 of his book counted as passes for a room.... and ended up saving us about $20. The actual game we paid was a blast.

He understands and knows how to address new clients and their concerns; whether it'd be anxiety or the lack of understanding of how these games work. Due to his charismatic personality and his ability to communicate with others, Anthony definitely encourages and brings many loyal customers to Odyssey. [Facility] 10/10 * From the entrance to the room, the facility is extremely well maintained and clean. There is bathroom that is always readily accessible and available. The furnitures in each of the rooms and seating areas are dust free and clean around the edges. [Games] 10/10 * Without diving into too much spoilers, each game offered by Odyssey are fun, exciting and encourage the use of a lot of brainpower. So far, as of 01/24/2024, my party has only completed 2 of the 5 games and we most definitely plan on returning! Odyssey Escape Game is a MUST-TRY, if you're a new or returning escapee.
