Mark as done to rate

Beat the clock and save Gotham City once and for all. Gotham City, a metropolis plagued by crime and injustice, is in dire need of heroes. In response to the escalating threats, Batman has initiated a new Gotham City Guardian training program. You have been carefully selected for the program to attempt a new and intense training exercise that includes stopping a training device Batman planted in the heart of Gotham City filled with a non-harmful chemical compound designed to mimic a legitimate chemical leak without the fatality. The device is fitted with a countdown clock that will release the gas in exactly 60 minutes after your mission start time, so you'll have to work quickly.

I feel really bad giving this room a thumbs down, I wanted to like it, but we just happened to have multiple glitches on the day we played. The sound was very low and hard to hear and I think at least two high tech puzzles were not working. I'm confused how we escaped without completing them. The GM was verrrry apologetic (especially since we had already played four other rooms with them this week and had great experiences). I saw the repair men going into the room after we left, so hopefully, the next players have a better experience. Escapology Carlsbad has great rooms, so we are still excited to play two more rooms with them this week.

Gameplay

I wanted to like the game, but there were too many glitches to fairly evaluate the room's flow and fun-factor.

Atmosphere

The props were all in theme and very well integrated.

Customer service

The Escapology employees are terrific! They are very welcoming, accommodating, and funny. The GM was verrrry apologetic about the glitches and comped us with free passes to play another game tomorrow.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

I liked the Batman theme. I think this is my first super hero room.

Story

The decorations were great. Escapology does a great job with decor in all of their rooms.

Difficulty

Medium

This is a tough question to answer. I would rate it as on the hard side of medium. However, we had at least two puzzles glitch (literally we skipped over them) but somehow we still escaped (with 29:23 remaining). So perhaps the room would have been harder if those puzzles had been functioning?

Game tech

High tech

The room had a mixture of both, but slightly more tech.

Ideal number of players

4

This was my 36th escape room (31W - 5L) so I still consider myself a bit of a newbie (I probably always will...). I played with five other players with similar statistics ranging in age from 11 to 58. There were times when some of our players were standing around so four players might be ideal.

Scary

Not scary

The room was not scary at all

Minimum age

8

The Batman theme was a fun idea

Was anything broken?

Yes

One box appeared to be open before the game started (not sure if this was intentional), a drawer didn't close (not sure if it was supposed to), and we never solved two major puzzles but somehow still escaped (with 29:23 remaining). I think the repair men went in after we exited so the room will probably be fine for the next players. The GM was verrry apologetic and gave us passes to play another one of their rooms tomorrow.

Live actors

No

No live actors, thank goodness.

Physically active

Somewhat

Mostly just walking around, nothing strenuous.

Accessibility

The room is probably large enough for a wheelchair, but there is a need for auditory, visual, and color abilities.

Easy to find location

Yes

It is in a mall

Parking

Easy

Lots of mall parking. Plus there are lots of restaurants nearby if you book multiple rooms and need a snack in between.

Good story and nice set design. Not a fan of one of the puzzles that used electronic elements poorly.

There was one puzzle that IMO was worded poorly. If you are bringing kids then go for it, but if it’s just adults maybe skip this one 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gameplay

It was super easy. I had a seven and four year old and they were able to help waaaaay more than the typical escape room.

Atmosphere

The voiceovers that were triggered were a little hard to hear.
