The puzzles in each room were the perfect difficult, not too easy that you could finish instantly but also not too hard that you would never figure them out. Everything had such a high attention to detail and we ended up having so much fun. I wish they had even more rooms so I could keep doing them. We ended up setting a new record on one of the rooms and I would highly recommend everyone to go visit. They also have a cool gift shop with gadgets and gizmos in the front. Definitely recommend.

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.

Once you get a clue it definitely helps to figure out the direction you should be headed in. I like that you don't get penalized for using clues like some escape rooms do. The game was really fun and figuring out the clues was fun as well. The only hiccup was that one of the piece was missing from one of our puzzles but we were still able to proceed past it. I will say that for those with vision issues - this escape option has very low lighting. But we adapted just fine. The staff were very professional and accommodating. The ambiance of the facility was great. This location is easy to fine and free parking. Very clean establishment. The typical steam punk decor that I've noticed with Escapology locations. We escaped with just a few minutes remaining!!! Would highly recommend for a date night, fun night out with friends, etc. They have kid friendly rooms too like Scooby doo.

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)
