The room design was pretty simple. Production was simple. But... puzzles were a good mix. Really had to think outside the box for some of them which I appreciate.

With malls looking terrible and mostly abandoned these days, its great to see that Alderwood Mall…read moreis thriving. I am really happy that Escapology came here as now there is something new to do when you end up meeting people at the mall. Plenty of easy parking, lots of places to eat nearby, you can also do some shopping, see a movie or play some video games. With another local escape room place closing recently, this may be the best local option. Its got many escape rooms to choose from, at some point I might do them all. Prices are high, but look for groupons and week day deals. Rooms are private for your group. Easy to book online. On a busy Saturday morning with not a ton of advanced planned we were able to make reservations for Batman. My 10 and 12 year old nephews seemed to enjoy it, but they are becoming escape room experts. The 12 year old had already been here and done another room. The youngest is already planning the escape room he wants to do next. We escaped with 1 minute and 11 seconds to spare. My brother complained the rooms were small and we would have struggled to fit the additional 2 people we considered bringing. The hints were provided on a computer screen so we were able to keep them up until we solved what we were working on. We used a lot of clues. One part did seem to have the answer already showing by overuse, but this was a bonus for us. Not overly dark, like some escape rooms. I really like the decor here, lobby included. Nice to have multiple bathrooms and a water fountain with cups in case you want to bring some water in with you. The escape room door is available to open at will in case you need to run to the bathroom. No lockers, but a basket to put a few items in the room if you don't want to hold them.

I'm pretty sure I've been here before, but maybe never written a review? That said, I'll just write…read moreabout my more recent one. I came here for The Vault with a bunch of people from meetup. The Vault was sort of in beta, so there were things expectedly not quite working, and I won't fault the company for this. Overall, the puzzles were interesting/fun/dramatic to interact with, which is pretty great. That said... I don't love linear puzzle rooms, and this one was seriously that. We had 6? people for this room, but there was really only one puzzle available at a time (the one time there were two puzzles, the "meta" of them was brute-force-able, which means it wasn't even useful to do). I think you could count the number of puzzles total to be something like... 10 puzzles, which is a disappointing number especially with the number of people in the room. It makes me feel like they spent all their efforts into the fancy decor and flashy lights and ...story?, rather than puzzles. If you do come to do this escape room and you've done some before, I'd recommend a smaller number of people. It was generally obvious which puzzle was the one that needed doing; there was very little search-the-room so not much else for anyone else in the group while the single puzzle was being worked on. (And because the puzzles were so physically interactive, it wasn't really like multiple people could work on it at once.) Staff was friendly enough, though the front desk was usually absent. They do have a tiny photo booth closet which I think is fun! And they have a large parking lot shared with the fitness(?) next door so you don't have to worry about parking in downtown Redmond. I got tricked by the fitness and thought it wasn't there, but it is.

This was my second escape room and it was amazing!…read more We arrived early and checked out The Basement where they had tons of cushioned seating, snacks and a selection of Regular and Adult Beverages. Canned but decently priced! When you arrive you can check in for the escape rooms in The Basement, arrive about 10-15 mins early so you can make sure your waiver is signed and you get the overview and rules of the room. We had a group of 5 and did the Who Dennis room! Being my second room I do not have a ton of experience but for the price compared to the last room was no comparison. Way better! The size, layering of puzzles, and help when we needed it was great. We had a fun time and at no point with 5 people did we run out of anything to have to do. We didn't solve the puzzle but was extremely close! We were even offered 20% off if we wanted to come back and try to solve again. I'm hooked and need to go back and try and solve it again. They also had 3 other rooms available, and if they were any sort of the quality of the Who dunnit I am sure they will be great!

This was my first escape room ever!…read more It was so fun :) I was impressed by the creativity and the intricacy of the puzzles. The rooms are also beautiful and well crafted. I won't give too many spoilers - we did the Storyteller and it had three rooms to "solve". The staff are wonderful too. The price is $45 per person. Located in Fremont.

The unique thing about this escape room is they included an actor to immerse us in the story and to occasionally give us hints; a more immersive experience then having us push a button and waiting for the staff on the intercom to give us a clue. - Parking here is tricky. The lower-level parking structure right next door has many conflicting signs. Even the staff at Locurio weren't sure how to help us ensure free safe parking. Have to buy something at the nearby supermarket to get validated parking? Not sure. - Wish they allowed each of us a prop to hold for the photo at the end. Good thing I brought my own.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun here! We starred with School of Magic, as we've never done…read moreescape rooms and wanted to try one of the easier ones to see how it goes. It was such a blast-everything in the room is a prop and we even got to do lots of interactive magic with the wand. We did get stuck a few times, but our guide Elina was able to give us hints when we asked the sorting hat nicely. Next we went onto Wizards Chest, which was more difficult but really fun. A good mix of brain teasers and physical games/puzzles. Both rooms are decorated so beautifully and we felt like we were a part of the Harry Potter magic. Elina was so great! She gave us just the right amount of help and set us up for success in both rooms before leaving us to figure it out. We also had a great time doing debriefs with her and she took lovely photos of us. This is the perfect rainy day activity to spice up a date!

Pros: -our hostess, Grace, was friendly and helpful -got to use a wand -started right on time -our kid loved it and was able to figure some things out on his own Cons: -items in the escape room were breaking down, most likely from people trying to pry open things that weren't supposed to be opened -costumes for photo ops were all ripped and unusable -the hostess spoke so fast (because she has the same script several times a day) that we didn't understand anything. It's not new to her, but it was all new to us so we needed it said at a normal speed
