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?

Under Pressure was a great room! We had 6 which made it a bit crowded. Puzzles were linear which made it easier to get through without missing puzzles. Didn’t use hints. Well-themed and fun puzzles.

Gameplay

I really liked this room. Puzzles were linear which I liked. Didn’t feel claustrophobic or anything even though you’re supposed to feel like you’re in a submarine trapped. Nice theming. Cool puzzles.

Atmosphere

Love the theming and puzzles. Challenging but fair.

Overall I really liked this escape room and found it great for puzzle addicts and for beginners. Some of the aspects are quite difficult to solve but anyone above high school aged should be able to figure it out!

Gameplay

Loved the storyline here! Puzzles were fun and diverse. There is a puzzle here for all type of puzzle solver!

Atmosphere

This was a unique take on a submarine style escape room. The theming and puns in the puzzles are unique.

One of the best games at Escapology. Simple but fun, with a multi-layered code puzzle I found a blast. Great theming

This was a pretty fun room. There were some interesting puzzles near the end that were pretty complex. However, some puzzles needed more clarity and direction which isn’t a surprise coming from escapology. I could tell the game was pretty old. Garrett was a fantastic game master. The WiFi in the building went out as we were solving the last puzzle but they came in the room and let us finish it. To make up for this, they gave us a 50% discount for the next time I book a room which was SUPER generous.

WiFi went out in the building which paused our game but did not ruin our experience. They definitely made up for it!

Meh. Not my favorite…

Gameplay

The puzzles flowed, but too much “stuff hiding around the room” rather than actual puzzles.

Atmosphere

Meh. A lot of printed pictures on the walls.

Customer service

GMs were rushed.

Did this room twice. First time in 2017. Back then, submarine rooms as a whole were relatively new. We had a rough time and didn't make it out. Still a good time though.

Not a huge fan of this franchise. This game war the most expensive game I have ever played with the most random and awkward clues that made little sense. Lots of taps along the way to keep us on pace. Don’t recommend. Nice staff.

Design was fairly low budget in this game. A lot of printed decals and rough paint work. The game was heavy on math which, in my opinion, makes for a less fun experience. Overall gameplay and layout felt lazy and seemed to be conceptualized and built in less than a week.
