An escape room within a mall? We weren't sure what to expect but wow it way exceeded our expectations. Firstly the staff were super helpful and enthusiastic which showed they truly care to make this an amazing experience for each guest. They provided encouraging words to our 7 year old niece who was visiting from out of town which made for a great time. There were only 3 of us but with just one hint we were able to make it through in time. What a fun way to spend the time learning and enjoying. Thank give you a coupon to return with the discounted price to try a different room.

We escaped the Scooby Doo!!!

Came here while on vacation. We had a blast. Escaped the Scooby Doo room with 12 minutes to spare. I recommend for something fun to do.

We did the Batman room to celebrate my buddy's bday and it was fun! He can't wait to go back to try another room. He is a tough critic because he worked at an escape room for years. I like that Escapology is really clean and that they give you a bracelet. It's in the mall so parking can be hit or miss(luckily it was a hit for us). Make sure you go to the bathroom and sign the waiver beforehand. The woman who was explaining our game was talking SO FAST. That might have been due to a time crunch. We had to ask for one clue and the computer screen ended up giving us another clue which my buddy wasn't too happy about but I'm just glad we escaped. Manager was really nice and took our picture. Went to Mongolian BBQ and Ninja Xchange. Awesome day at the mall!

Hope to make it out!

Updating my review to give a big shoutout to Audri! She did an amazing job as game master. Escapology is a rad spot in the mall. So clean and well done. We played the Pirate's Curse today.... (Thank you for being open on Thanksgiving!) Super fun with some challenging but manageable puzzles. We've now played all but one of the rooms here. Until next time!

Came to Escapology to celebrate my birthday with my fiancé. We played Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express escape room. Our game master's name was Demi, prior to starting he notified us that the Murder on the Orient Express was the most popular and the most challenging escape room they have to offer. He said the success rate was about 20-30%! Knowing this we decided to ask for clues to ensure we were able to get through as many puzzles as possible. Even with clues we couldn't finish the escape room within the 1-hour time limit, but Demi gave us additional time. I'm sure with more people the room will be more doable. We really enjoyed our time here and would like to try some of their other rooms the next time we are in the area.

I went with my friend and we did the Lost City. At first it was kind of confusing but there was a difficult challenge in between. We request 8 clues but were able to get out of there with 3 minutes to spare. The staff there were helpful and friendly. They explained everything in detail and helped us out. I wish I remembered their names but it was towards the end of the night and it was 2 males. Thank you for the fun experience!

Escapeology has become a favorite bonding activity for me and my teenage son, and our visit to the Oceanside location while visiting family did not disappoint! We tackled the Batman room, and it was such a fun, immersive experience. The room was challenging without being overwhelming -- perfect for both adults and teens. But if you have younger ones they do have a kids mode. The puzzles were creative, the set design was super detailed, and the storyline had us fully locked in (literally and mentally ). Staff was friendly, explained everything clearly, and kept the energy fun from start to finish. If you're in the Oceanside area and looking for something exciting to do with teens or family, Escapeology is 100% worth it. Pro tip: Book ahead

It's my birthday! It's my birthday! Life is a puzzle and I am here to solve it. Time to take a journey, my friends. It's time to escape reality and solve a mystery. Don't forget to bring the Scooby snacks!!! Cartoon nostalgia is the best way to describe this. If you want to be involved in solving a mystery this is the place you want to be. Unlock your potential with every clue, crack codes, like the smile you'll be cracking with this adventure, and under great pressure you'll discover the hidden key. Go ahead and break out of your comfort zone and don't get locked down find your way out to Escapology. $50 per person ,must sign a waiver ,no cellphone use during your adventure, has more than 5 escape room themes

Stressed out? Angry? Having a bad day? Then I recommend you try Ragescape and break some stuff…read more Location is in Oceanside not far from the 5 freeway In a little strip mall with some other businesses and restaurants. Parking was easy and convenient. They recommend getting there 15 minutes before your start time to fill out the waiver, watch the safety video, and put on the safety gear. You don't want to eat into your scheduled rage time. They also have escape rooms and paint rooms in addition to the rage room. Staff was friendly and helpful. The safety gear included helmet with a visor, gloves, overalls. You can use your phone to take videos and photos, and hook up to the speaker so you can play your own music. The basic package is 20 minutes and you get to break 12 bottles And 6 ceramics. It was plenty of you go slow And break 1 at a time but you can buy extra breakables if need be. And there are tires that you can bang on if you run out of breakables. There are a plethora of weapons to use to destroy the breakables (shovels, bat, crowbar, mallets, pipe wrench, etc). Photos and videos attached.

I did the Japanese horror escape room and it was so fun and scary! It was a very immersive…read moreexperience, starting with an introduction video about the theme of the room and a cool room atmosphere. I found it to be better than a haunted house, cuz I was so enveloped with figuring out the clues that I would forget about the scares and I never knew when the scares would come. It was a multi room escape room and I would consider it a medium to hard level. Our game master was super friendly and helpful when we needed hints. I think we did a total of two hint through out the game and we managed to beat the clock and got out in time! The parking wasn't the best, it was all street parking with meters. When you get to the location it is a bit hard to find the front door because it is on the back side of the building up some stairs. But there is some signage to help you find the door if you get lost.

Did the Japanese Thriller with some friends for my birdday and we had a lot of fun! I wished we…read morecould've done the room by ourselves instead of being paired with strangers, but at least we made it out with less than a minute left! However, the Japanese Thriller barely felt on theme with the serial killer storyline other than the introduction video we received. I prefer escape rooms where I actually feel like I'm part of the story. This was a very different escape room than I have done before. While you always have to split up for escape rooms, this time we were forced to separate between multiple rooms so you had no idea how the other group was doing (this isn't great when you're forced to solve the room with strangers because you have no idea if they know what they're doing). It was definitely more chaotic than other escape rooms I've done. The rooms were small and they use locks for a lot of the puzzles, which isn't innovative. They also forgot to put back one of the pieces we needed to get the final combination, so we almost didn't make it out because we had to keep guessing. HOWEVER, the worst part of the entire experience was how RUDE the man was that was helping us on the walkie talkie. He would give us attitude every time we asked for a clue. Why give clues if you're going to rude when people use them?
