Overall the staff member was very nice (and didn't rush us) and we had fun bumbling around, but the…read moreactual room (Sherlock) was one dimensional in many ways. We didn't solve the puzzle in the hour time and used 4 of 5 clues. And there was no A/C so there was a loud fan in the room the entire time. On a Sunday morning we were the first early bird group to arrive. Located on the third floor by Bath and Body Works, the doors opened a bit before official store opening at 11 am. There are various bookings throughout the day/evening and you'll be prompted to sign a waiver. The actual story could have been more direct and clear especially when you only have an hour for the experience and you're trying to maximize time and accommodate different reading levels. And they had an overemphasis on needing to unlock various locks. The room and mystery lacked depth and it was confusing which clues applied to which lock. It would have made more sense if the clues had been more sequential and only applied to a specific lock in the vicinity. Some of the clues also seemed a little silly. They could also have designed the experience to use props or walls in the room more. I'm guessing all the rooms are designed in this way. Pricing could also have been more clear; ordering online includes an online ordering fee so you should probably call. There's a slight discount for 4 or more people and for veterans. And if you sign up for their rewards program you save 10% but each person has to sign up, and they have to ring each person up separately to apply the rewards so then you don't get the volume discount. While they do have locations in various states, I can't imagine visiting 5 times in a year to qualify for one free visit. Their automated purchasing system just wasn't very customer friendly.

They had a lot of fun, the workers were very nice, attentive and accommodating. But the place itself seemed lacking in the decor and props. For the price we expected more intentional and well thought out decor to give the ambiance of the place an air of mystery and a cool atmosphere. Everything seemed cheaply decorated, like a pop up might be. But the staff were great, and the tasks for the escape were clever and well thought out. I would say if they invested more in the furniture, finishes and props this place would be 5 stars for sure

Had never done an ER and had no idea what to expect. I can't believe the level of attention and detail they put into these rooms. Since our veteran had done every other room, leaving ONLY the absolutely most difficult rooms left, I was kind of astounded at the complexity and probably wound up saying "oh, that's clever" or "I'm stupid" about five hundred times. We initially did a lost hiker room, and then later the new two hour room that they had recently opened up. Both were extensive, with multiple linked rooms, including "outdoor" areas (that aren't) that were immersive, with attentive staff that both sold their roles and kept the clues coming when we were confused. The two we did had horror themes, particularly the second one, that might have scared young children, but some of the easier rooms seemed to have less frightening themes. Again, I can't stress enough the level of detail put both into the clues, the experience, the sound system, the decor, it was all pretty amazing. On our first one, since there were no parties after ours, we were allowed to continue thirty minutes past our "deadline" since we hadn't quite solved it yet. I'm looking forward to doing some of the easier rooms too!

Escapology Escape Rooms Haunted House Review: Haunts and…read moreHorror Reviews We were able to play the newest Escape Room at Escapology in Danbury, CT called Haunted House. This one has a backstory and atmosphere that is darker and more ominous than a basic scary mansion theme. It is an immersive experience of being in an old house that is haunted and tormented by evil spirits and the tragic end of the family that lived there. It packs a lot in a small space with some jump scares and it is probably best for a group of 4 to 6 people. Some of the puzzles can be challenging so it's good to have help. The final stages of the game really elevate the experience as your time ticks down and urgency increases. The tasks to be solved become more sinister in nature but also were the most fun part. The detail and atmosphere really put this one over the top. Highly recommended if you enjoy spookier types of games and experiences.
