    This was my first escape room experience and I had a blast! I went with a group of work friends and because of the room size a couple joined us. Before we were 'locked' in the room we were given a brief of the locks and clues we would encounter, for a little pregame practice. Also the front desk woman explained how hints were available on the given tablet. Next it was time to play! We chose the hardest room: "Outbreak", which freaked me out a bit with us being so close to the CDC headquarters, but moving on. The employee dressed the part of a scientist and made the introduction of the room enjoyable. After our time ended, our same 'scientist' came and explained what we missed or even overlooked. It seemed so easy after that. We then moved back into the lobby and chose or loser quotes. After checking in on our social networks, we were given discounts for next time! All in all I had a great time! I definitely look forward to coming again.

    My first time trying the escape games was at the Augusta location and my experience has always been amazing. I've been three different times and I have nothing but great things to say. The staff is very helpful and super nice. Customer service is never an issue. The rooms were always in good condition and our games always started on time. I mentor children between the ages of 9-12 and they absolutely loved this as an event. It helped them with team building, communication and leadership. So I would recommend taking groups of children to partake in this activity. Kristen is awesome so if you want to speak to somebody specific, she is the one! Hope this helps!

    This was my first escape room experience and it certainly set the bar high.

    Update: We escaped from Vampyr this time! Our game master was Robert and he did a fantastic job…read more(which I always expect from these sessions)! Very charismatic! Came for my bachelorette. The four of us did Vampyr; we did not escape but were close-ish. Very fun and dynamic puzzles, a little something for everyone. There was enough to do that our group could be working on multiple puzzles at a time. Mitchell was our Game Master again. He's really good at offering clues once we've reached a dead end but not so much that we felt like we weren't solving it ourselves

In my search I came across The Final Door. They had a few different escape room options listed online with an array of available time slots. I called for clarification on age appropriateness and minimum amount of people required. I received great customer service and all my questions answered, so I booked online. We headed over, upon arrival (10mins early) we completed the required waivers and waited in the lounge area for our game host to arrive. Once Noah arrived we went over the house rules (no phones or photos allowed) and then the game was started. I picked the BLACKOUT room. I was advised that it would be doable for 2ppl and was appropriate for my newly appointed teenage niece. The game is an hour long, Noah was a great guide, friendly with good energy and provided subtle hints when needed. With multiple rooms and serval task/clues to decipher we had a great time and happy to report that we ESCAPED and took some cute photos at the end. I am unable to provide details about the room, because one of the rules ask that you don't share to avoid spoilers for others. Just A Note: Of course I'm leaving a Yelp review but they ask that you leave a review on Google or TripAdvisor. With Google reviews Noah gets tipped out of company money. Noah was worth me heading to Google.

We decided to book a separate escape room for the rest of the fam and make it a girls outing, while the adolescent was enjoying the festivities. This made the best usage of time, especially since we had to drop her off and pick her up anyway. So, I booked the "Under Pressure" room for four, and it was a few dollars less than $175. When booking online the night before I realized some of the more popular times and sort after rooms were unavailable. Times slots for a few rooms became sold out as I was trying to book. Nonetheless, I mange to complete the purchase and have the liability waivers completed. This visit to Escapology is my 3rd Escape room while visiting the Columbia area and one of the nicer ones on just first impressions, location and parking. The staff was extremely friendly and the waiting/reception area was nicely themed and designed. Upon arrival we were checked and asked to wait while the room was prepared. Once our room was ready we were escorted to the start, giving directions & safety instructions, and then the clock was started. Of course they ask that you do not take videos/photos to not expose any clues to the game. The room was clean and the clues were mostly straight forward. We ended with a victory and escaped with merely seconds to spare. However, there were a few inconsistencies with the order of clues and we encounter a couple of missing or broken pieces/steps in the process of solving the puzzles and escaping. This has happened to me before (with another company) it can be frustrating and cause you not to beat the clock, but like I said we managed to succeed. Albeit by the skin of our teeth. Lol Overall we enjoyed the room and took our victory photos after. We were given rubber bracelets marking our achievement of beating the room. They have bracelets for each room and offer patrons the challenge of completing and collecting them all. After completion they offer a return promo/discount if you book your next escape room the same day. It's recommended if you enjoyed it because you get a little break on the price and I believe you can book it up to six months out. Just A Note: -If coming with a group I will recommend booking early. -If possible, I suggest that one person books for everyone to ensure getting the room and time you prefer. (Recommended but not required)
