98 escape rooms
We have played over 100 rooms and this is one of our all-time favorites. It is very innovative, very high-tech, and has a number of fun puzzles. It was rated as 7.5/10 but seemed a little easier, making it a great room for a larger group of beginners (although it is also very linear). Playing at Escapology was top-notch. It is no surprise that this room was a multi-year TERPECA (Top Escape Rooms Project Enthusiasts' Choice Award) nominee. We highly recommend this game as our favorite of the three we played at this location (Lost City / Narco).
Gameplay
Very novel with the tech that was included. We've never seen a room put together quite this way. Rooms with similar easily identifiable characters (we've played an excellent Jurassic Park-style game in Memphis, and Clue game in Birmingham) sometimes get overtaken by the theme itself, which takes away from the escape room aspect. This game integrated the Scooby-Doo theme so well that that it felt like we were in a cartoon episode, while still playing a very fun escape room. Outstanding gameplay!
Atmosphere
Impressive and immersive. You'll feel like you're in a Saturday morning cartoon episode of Scooby Doo.
Customer service
Shaun was outstanding! She greeted and welcomed us enthusiastically, and got us signed in and started early. Her outstanding attitude contributed to our playing three separate games back-to-back-to-back at this location. We did not require any clues during this game, but she was helpful answering questions at the end.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Unique as a multi-year TERPECA nominee. Even though it was a standard whodunnit, placing it inside the Scooby-Doo theme, along with the specific tech, made it very unique.
Story
Everything flowed perfectly with the Scooby-Doo murder mystery theme.
Difficulty
Easy
It was rated on the website and/or on the brochure at the location as a 7.5/10. However, it was completely linear and multiple items were used in a similar manner. A couple of the puzzles were a little more challenging but nothing too difficult. We played with two "experienced" players (just over 100 rooms) and made it out with 8 minutes remaining. A larger, inexperienced group would have a good time and this room would be an excellent learning experience. Just don't expect every room booked in the future to be this good.
Game tech
High tech
Very high tech to bring the Scooby-Doo experience to life.
Ideal number of players
4
We played with two. Because it is linear, the more experienced the group the fewer players required.
Scary
Not scary
Minimum age
6
Young enough for anyone who can understand Scooby and Shaggy. Even though this is a murder mystery, the cartoon aspect negates any scariness.
Was anything broken?
Yes
There was one piece that we were able to manipulate without the accompanying required piece of equipment. Our game master explained at the end that a magnet in the equipment was getting weak allowing us to manipulate it without the use of another piece of equipment. This did not interrupt the flow of the game at all, but instead allowed us to jump ahead by a few seconds.
Live actors
No
Physically active
Somewhat
There was a good amount of space in which to move around.
Accessibility
There didn't seem to be any limitation on room to move, lighting, sound, or the height of puzzles.
Easy to find location
Yes
Excellent directions on the website.
Parking
Easy
Excellent directions on the website to get to the correct parking garage with a reminder to carry your ticket for up to a 2-hour validation.

Thank you so much for this incredible review — coming from a team that has played over 100 rooms, it truly means a lot to us! We’re thrilled to hear this room ranks among your all-time favorites and that you enjoyed the innovative, high-tech elements and puzzle design. Your breakdown of the difficulty and linear flow is spot-on, and we love that you see it as a great fit for larger groups of beginners as well. It’s especially meaningful to hear your mention of the TERPECA nominations — our design team puts a lot of heart into creating rooms that stand out at that level, and feedback like this makes it all worth it. We’re honored that this was your favorite of the three you played (Lost City and Narco are great company to be in!). Thank you again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for many more adventures in the future!
