Can you uncover the clues before time - and oxygen - runs out? The year is 1944; the height of World War II. The US Navy is fighting to establish a position of dominance over the enemy. Tensions are high and the crew is on maximum alert. You are onboard the Steel Shark - the US Navy’s prized submarine, deep in the North Atlantic Ocean on a vitally important mission to spy on the German Battle Cruiser, Scheer. The mission is going smoothly until, without warning, the submarine plunges into the sea—now the engines have died, the hull is cracking and there’s only 60 minutes of reserve oxygen remaining! Looking around you begin to discover clues proving sabotage by German secret agents. You and the crew must act quickly so you can continue your mission. If you succeed, you’ll not only survive but will surely become national heroes. Can you reinstate the power and help the Steel Shark back to the surface before the entire crew perishes?

Just as many others have stated, there was a missing part that was crucial for advancing the game. They should really organize better. It wasted time and ruined my experience personally, but thinking back to the overall experience, the whole experience would have been better if the piece was there. Regardless, I would still not have “hearted” this anyway. It just doesn’t leave you feeling satisfied… Not terrible, but also not great.

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

This was one of my least favorite games. While the room is well themed, the GM was totally inattentive, kept giving us the clues for a different room, and the lack of sound proofing made it next to impossible to tell what was happening in our room or the one next door. I would avoid this room.

Submarine rooms are not my favorite, but our friend wanted to do a room with us, so we figured, why not? We booked the room and showed up a half hour early and they moved us right into the room. The guy at the desk was great, but that's were the story ends being good. We could hear Morse Code coming from a different room, the GM gave us hints for a different room, and we could hear everything going on in and around our room. Not only that, but whoever closed the night before decided not to reset the room properly, and yeah we had to keep asking for them to help becuase the missing items were that important. Afterwards, we went to talk to the front desk guy, who said they was a common occurrence in the rooms at that location... That would be why we haven't gone back. Find other locations to complete the rooms at this location, or call and see if they sound proofed everything yet.

Went in accepting that my small group of three was going to fail. We were given ample warning of the difficulty, so we decided to promptly ask for clues. We received 3 clues and blew it out of the water with 23 minutes to spare. Everyone a great time. (But we kinda regret asking for clues lol)

We all enjoyed this room, but definitely recommend having a larger group. There were only four of us and we struggled at multiple points during the room. There was one puzzle at the end that felt almost impossible, but it is do able!

This was probably the most challenging room for us at Escapology. It was very fast paced, and had a lot of challenging puzzles. It was fun to do in a group of 4 and I feel like we always had something to work on. This was one of those difficult rooms where not every puzzle was easy to solve, and there were honestly just SO many - there was no sitting around here! I really appreciated the adrenaline rush at the end, we finished with literally like 4 seconds to spare!!!

Fun room! I really liked the set design and the soundtrack 🥰 some puzzles took some true thinking and I definitely appreciate that. I saw stuff that I hadn’t seen before, and it all went really nicely with the plot. They did a really nice job with this room and making it feel like a submarine!
