Evolution Escape Rooms

Escape room
IRL

This was one of the most disappointing escape rooms I have ever been to. FIRST OF ALL, this is located inside of an “extreme park.” If you book before you get there, there is no indication that you also need to pay admission to the place itself, but you do. Its only $5 a person but arriving to do a room after having paid hundreds of dollars online and then being told you need to pay an additional $5 a person just to enter the facility is extremely frustrating and felt deceptive. The staff are clearly not trained to be game masters. If you are used to escape rooms where the people working there add anything to your game, forget about it. They don’t tell you the story, they don’t seem to have a way to see you in the room, and they only communicate over walkie talkies. They do not always respond immediately over the walkie and they accidentally gave us a clue when someone else asked for help. Upon escaping, they didn’t even congratulate us or offer to take our picture. They also didn’t tell us how fast we escaped without us explicitly requesting that information. There is no way in the room to see how much time has passed unless you ask for a time check on the walkie. The room had some cool theming aspects but it was ruined by the do not touch stickers that were placed all over everything and things that were clearly falling apart due to age and lack of repair. Finally, the puzzles. There are very few puzzles in the room. Almost everything was find something and do something that is explicitly stated. Ie: find a key and put it in the lock. Or find a code written somewhere and put it in the place it specifically shows you to put it in. There were only 2 puzzles that actually required you to solve for the answer. They both involved some basic math so warning for people who hate math. I am trying to make this as spoiler free as possible, so without saying too much one of the puzzles required using a tool that was set to the wrong setting with no indication of the proper setting. It also was extremely temperamental so you sometimes had to use the tool multiple times. After being frustrated trying the same thing multiple times and being sure we were doing the right thing, we eventually had to call the game masters for help. They didn’t respond the first 2 times we called for help, waiting multiple minutes in between and when we finally got help, that was when we realized it was set to the wrong setting. Overall, a disappointing experience and I would not recommend doing it. It was frusterating because I did an escape room here many years ago and remembered it fondly. I don’t know if this room is just worse, if things have changed, or if I was just an inexperienced player then.

This room was fine, but my least favorite at this location so far (I’ve done 3/4 rooms). The ending felt a little anticlimactic and it wasn’t always 100% clear which answers went with which puzzles. The story was also very loose.

Fun game! Plenty of puzzles to keep a bigger group entertained. We had a group of 7 and there was rarely a time when someone was standing around doing nothing. Some puzzles that required teamwork. Ending felt a little anticlimactic.

I have now done four rooms at The Escape Game and this is my second favorite room with them. Lots of exciting twists and turns and enough puzzles to keep a group busy. The theming was also nice!

Fun room! So many new discoveries to be made along the way. Requires teamwork and collaboration. Room designed well so you spend time solving puzzles and understand which components go together. Some puzzles have more than one way to arrive at answer.
