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. The engines have died and pressure in the cabin is quickly increasing. The hull is cracking under the immense pressure of the seabed and, without power, only 60 minutes of reserve oxygen remains! 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. Looking around you begin to discover clues that lead you to believe this wasn’t an accident, but sabotage by German secret agents. They have removed six oxygen silos and hidden them around the ship. You’ll need to scour the mess hall, rummage through the control room, and uncover the silos to repair the steel Shark. Can you reinstate the power and help the Steel Shark back to the surface before the entire crew perishes? Oxygen is already running out!

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.

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.

Immersion was pretty low and was a hard sell. At no point do you feel anything like you're in a submarine.

Under Pressure at Escapology Orlando is an exciting, immersive faux underwater submarine adventure. The set design is wonderfully done using technology to create the illusion that the players are actually under water. The sound design is excellent. The puzzles are fun and logical. The game flows well. Overall it’s a fun game with a bit of something for everyone from searching to interactive physical puzzles to more traditional puzzles you might expect in a submarine theme. I’d especially recommend this game to families and friend groups.
