    This past Saturday was the second time we've been to this location and both times were amazing! The first room we tried was the Scooby-Doo room. The Scooby-Doo room is so immersive it's almost as if you've walked into the cartoon itself and are solving a puzzle with hijinks along the way. The colors are so vibrant and it was a relatively easy puzzle to solve with a good storyline to guide you along the way. The clues made sense and helped move us along, section by section. The workers are so helpful explaining the rules and guiding you with tips if you ever were stuck. Which we needed a few times. This last Saturday we were celebrating my son's 15 Birthday and he chose Budapest Express. This one was a bit harder, the clues didn't guide you as much as the scooby Doo room, and they were less easy to understand. We wound up using hints a bit more for this one. All in all, it was still a lot of fun and the workers were really kind, helpful, and gave us really good feedback along the way that helped us "escape" with 16 seconds left. Are the rooms worthy of repeating? I would do the Scooby-Doo one again, but probably not the Budapest Express. I will definitely be back and can't wait to try the rest though!

    Had a great time at the Mansion Murder. It was legit a hard puzzle -- if you enjoy a challenge, you'll love this one -- recommended!

    I came here on vacation with some friends and we were looking for something fun to do! After researching the cheapest place to go (we are all new college graduates haha), Escapology was the winner! I appreciated that the more people you had in your group, the cheaper the room was to book. We had 6 people, which was only $30 per person. The room we booked was the "Lost City" and it was rated an 8.5/10 difficulty. It is pretty ironic because I had made a joke to our game master and said that we weren't going to ask for any clues. To my surprise, we actually didn't! We finished the escape room without any hints and 15 minutes before time ran out. None of my group members are avid escape room goes, as I mentioned we are fresh out of college so clearly our degrees paid off! If you are an avid escape room lover, maybe this isn't the spot for you? Either way it was fun and the best part was the location! Belmont Park is a small theme park with food, rides, and the beach! So many activities to look forward to after you finish your escape room!! There was also a promo happening for 20% off games in February, if you go to Belmont Park you can find the coupon cards there!

    Escapology is everything you want from a puzzle room/escape room establishment. They have a healthy selection of great themed rooms, including Scooby Doo, which we happened to pick. We had the first appointment of the day in the Scooby Doo room. Jacob was the gentleman responsible for taking care of us. He was incredibly nice, and considerate. He explained everything simply, and gave a concise run down of the rules, the process, how to communicate and ask for help if needed. The Scooby Doo room is absolutely fantastic, phenomenal, practically perfect. I will not list anything about the room, as I do not want to the spoil the experience for any future guests. I can say the decor, plot, puzzles, and everything inside is amazing, just mind-blowing. They do absolute justice to mystery inc., and the Scooby Doo gang. The price is tiered to how many people are participating in the time slot. It was $60 per person for two people. And it was worth absolutely every penny. Hats off and a big thank you to Jacob, and Escapology for a wonderful and magnificent experience! I cannot say enough good things!

    Nestled in beautiful Belmont Park, Mission Beach, Escapology San Diego is an amazing collection of escape rooms for San Diego natives and tourists alike. I had the chance to bring my family and a few friends to try to escape their Antidote Room back in 2022, and this challenging room did not disappoint! Our youngest escape artist was 9, and she did great at solving a lot of the clues in this room.

    We had a great time...Nychelle was a great guide! Our kids (9yo and 11yo) were engaged, excited, and the right amount of scared the whole time. Nychelle gave us the right amount of guidance without spoiling the fun. We'll be back!

    Great escape room and friendly staff. Located next to the beach at Belmont Park. Different pricing based on group size.

    What is the allowed party size for kids 5-9 years old? Are large groups split up?

    Groups larger than 8 people would need to be split into multiple themes.

    Can kids participate? Any recommendations for a 10 year old group?

    Yes! All of our rooms are kid friendly, meaning, no scary or inappropriate themes. I would recommend the Scooby-Doo room or our Antidote room for a group of 10 year olds.

    Can teens go unchaperoned?

    Children 12 years or younger do require adult supervision. 13 years to 17 years we do suggest it, but is not a requirement.

    I'm planning a trip to SD with my dog and boyfriend and was looking for places that allowed dogs and this popped up. How does that work? Can our dog come into the room with us or does it just wait outside?

    Actually, here at Escapology San Diego we welcome any dogs to come in to any of our escape rooms with you! We do recommend that your furry friend is potty trained before coming down. It's a one hour private experience, they might need to go… Read more

    Which is the most popular room!?

    Our most popular room by far is the Budapest Express. A murder mystery! It is also our hardest room so if you’re planning on doing that room, make sure you have a cohesive team!

    Cucina Migrante hosted a cooking experience for 60 executives at my company. It received RAVE…read morereviews. I had one Zoom call with Francesco prior to the event, and he assured me that it would be a unique, dynamic experience and that everything would go well. He is such a warm and welcoming person and I completely trusted him-- which I'm glad I did. The event was chaotic due to the number of people, but they handled it with grace and made everything fun. We had applause break out a few times-- when does that happen with adults? Not often. But they really liked making pasta and I was here for it. Because we had the event outside at Coastal Roots Farm in January, it was a bit chilly. But both Julia at the farm and the whole Cucina Migrante team pivoted well and made the best of the whole experience. I really liked that this felt like an experience and not a class. It felt fun and not forced. AND it was delicious. I think that's what you can expect from this company, so I highly recommend them.

    Beyond exceptional! I hosted my team of about 20 employees for our annual team building event and…read moretruly had an experience that was enjoyed by all... literally everyone loved it. What sets this event apart from all others is the attentiveness of the staff, the coziness of the atmosphere and the family vibe of the entire experience. If you need to host an event for 20-30 people, this is THE place to go. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue and the awesome staff at Cucina Migrante for your next corporate event!
