Mansion Murder

We are avid escape room enjoyers, and we’ve never been to this company before so we were excited to try it. With the prices being higher than average we hoped it would be good. We booked the Mansion Murder room (spoiler alert, it was not worth the price at all.) Also to be transparent, we beat the game in 40 minutes. The inside of the facility is really nice, but the room itself was not great. It was very worn and there were obviously broken pieces or remnants of former puzzles with “don’t touch” stickers on them. There were some neat tricks in the room, but most of the tech was outdated or cheap and flimsy. They also have you speak to your game master through an intercom, which is something I’ve never experienced before. There was a puzzle that required us to check our answer with the game master, they also didn’t really seem to be watching us on the cameras because every time we utilized the intercom we had to explain where we were in the game. Our screen was “broken” so we were told we would have to watch the intro video on an iPad and alert the game master when the video was over. 20 minutes into our game someone came in and just turned on the monitor, so we were able to see our timer which was just a chrome tab with a counter on a black screen. I could literally see their inventory google sheet and bookmarked tabs for their Waivers and booking system. There was no background for the timer, no music in the room. I don’t know if it was an issue of the staff not understanding how the equipment works or not, but it was an awkward experience to be sure. We also completed the objective and they did not pause or stop the timer and we were just standing there like🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️🕴️. It was just a lackluster ending. On our way out, we were offered 15% off a future game with the exception of the scooby doo room or the pirate room (which I’m assuming are newer games) they should really be offering THIS game at a lower rate. I would assume their other games are better? But I do not think we’ll be back because this experience fell way flat for us, especially considering the price point.

Leaving feeling dirtied. There weren’t that many puzzles, but two of the puzzles were rather difficult… We accidentally got through one of the said puzzles. Overall, it feels sloppy.

Overall this game was cool but definitely had some tough puzzles!

They have some pretty good rooms… just need to change them out more often and maybe stay up to date with broken stuff cause there’s been times I’ve gone and stuff doesn’t open

Great room and props. I had lots of fun

This was one of our favorite rooms at this site! It was so much fun and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! This room felt like a murder mystery party and I would definitely do it again!

I think it was super funny that we chose this as one of our first rooms since it was the hardest one at the time! I have to say though we kind of killed it - we got out and solved the puzzles fairly easily. What I appreciate about Escapology is that the rooms and stories are very linear so you know what you need to accomplish to get to the next puzzle, but its also not so restrictive that you can’t jump around a bit. We had a super fun time, the atmosphere and design was really well executed, as always.

My first Escapology room!! I loved this room so much, and it is a great classic escape room. Escapology rooms are truly the standard for what escape rooms should be. They have an impressive storyline, quality props, and a linear way of thinking to get you to the finish line. The staff is always great at this location as well. A great beginners way of getting into escape rooms.

Great room. A little spooky but not too much at all. Puzzles were all fun and challenging. A few tech malfunctions didn’t stop this room from being great and did not impede our progress (as with malfunctions in other rooms I’ve done).
