Escapology - Sugar Land

We did this room as a team of 3. We were greeted warmly by the starting staff who chatted amicably about various things but taking us back to the room. We then learned she would not be our game master and instead a different person who we had not met would be running our game and he was also running 4 others. This seemed like a bad setup and pulled the GM in too many directions. The room itself was in good shape. Nothing was broken. For the most part, the game flowed reasonably well. The puzzles were very linear so it's highly encouraged to keep the group soze down. I had two major complaints about the room. First there were multiple puzzles in the room that were highly unintuitive and really made the game feel like clues were a must. The second was the GM have clues that were too specific. I prefer the GM to give nudges when asked and not just the entire solution. I would like to figure it out but just help get me going. Though not for one of the puzzles. That one just needs to be told the answer since it's so unintuitive. Overall the room is on par with many of the escape rooms across Houston, but the price is higher so I would recommend doing others instead of this one.

This is top ten escape rooms I've done . The electronics and theme were superior. It felt like you were part of the mission. The ambience really created a crazy good time. The puzzles were thought out and reasonable. We didn't get stuck on anything for a really long time. We left feeling like things made sense. Overall, TEG does a great job with most of their rooms. But I do wish they did private rooms. It's always annoying to play with randos.

This room was a disappointment. A few things in the room didn't work the first time. While the theme of the room was cool, the puzzles didn't seem to fit it. The puzzle design had some cool ideas for about half but the rest just sucked. But by far the worst part was the gamemaster. When discussing at the end, she stated that kids solve this puzzle and my arrogance got in the way. In reality, it was simply a guess for the solution. She couldn't explain logically how to solve the puzzle, only that people just get it by accident. This is poor and then to insult the guest is very poor. Overall, I would not recommend this room
