A power-mad cult leader. A bone-chilling curse. Break the cycle before midnight or face death yourself! The deranged minister of Crickley Church decided to kill his entire congregation after their confessions convinced his twisted mind that they had, among themselves, committed the 7 Deadly Sins. After inciting a curse on the children playing in the rooms beneath the church he buries himself alive in the church’s hidden crypt, while promising to haunt the church forevermore. Now it’s up to you to locate the hidden crypt, find the dagger, and drive it through the heart of the evil minister before time runs out. Then, and only then, you will be saved and destroy the curse forever.

The biggest sin this room committed was shooting fog while I was trying to sleep! Mommy had a great time with some of the tactile props, daddy liked the story concept (but wished for better integration with the puzzles), and I liked how I could nap for most of the room. While some moments are creepy, there’s nothing that will cause you to fill your diaper, aside from underclued puzzles and some janky tech.

Escapology has a but problem. Every game I’ve played there is good and had fun elements, but there’s always a but. The intro video spins a lengthy yarn about a creepy priest, but the puzzles have little to do with the plot. The 7 deadly sins are used as a progress tracker on your hint screen, but the puzzles share no thematic link to the sins (you’ll solve something and then notice, “Oh, I guess that was gluttony…?”). Some puzzles use unique props, but the props are janky and don’t give you the response they should. Some puzzles are layered, but the layers aren’t signposted; it’s like you need a degree in escape room logic and a minor in illogic to go through their rooms without a hint. The finale was nice with dramatic effects, but then the game isn’t over until you put some random prop back in the main room… At every turn, the room undermines itself, when it could be great. That, perhaps, is the greatest sin of all.

The set decoration and lobby decor were great. I enjoyed the room, but it really had nothing to do with the 7 deadly sins (except for one little part that had nothing to do with the story), and wasn’t the least bit scary. It should be called The Evil Priest instead. Do it if you are looking for a fun room, but just don’t expect a room about the titled 7 deadly sins.
