Mark as done to rate
The town of Crystal Cove and the surrounding areas are being terrorized by monsters and ghosts. The local Baroness Maria Richman has gone missing and it is suspected that the ghost sightings have something to do with it! Tasked with solving the crime, you arrive at the same conclusion as Mystery Incorporated. Unfortunately when you get to the Spooky Castle, Mystery Incorporated get locked out, at the same time as you get locked in! You soon realize that Mystery Incorporated are able to help by communicating clues via magic portraits inside the Castle. Discovering a secret Dungeon and Monster Lab in the Castle, you realize this is where the evil is being created and set about solving the crime. You come to the conclusion that the person responsible almost certainly works in the Castle - but who could it be as there are several suspects?

48 escape rooms
Jinkies! This was a nostalgic room for a Boomer, like me! My group of three escaped (kind of... the GM added time to the clock at the end to allow us to finish - we reeeeealy appreciate that) with two clues. This was my 32nd room (27W - 5L), so I still consider myself a bit of a newbie. The room was beautifully decorated in theme and all of the puzzles and props were in working order. This was our first room at Escapology but we have reservations to attempt six more this week.
Gameplay
The Scooby-Doo themed room was such a fun throw-back especially since they incorporated so many of the show's characters and props into the story. The story flowed very well and we had a ton of fun.
Atmosphere
The experience, room, and props were very immersive. Everything was in working condition and true to the show.
Customer service
The front desk staff are amazing. We reeeealy appreciated that they added a little time to the clock at the end to allow us to finish (our smartest player had to leave suddenly). I am looking forward to playing more games with Escapology Carlsbad!
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
I love the Scooby-Doo theme. Everything in the room was a nostalgic throw-back.
Story
The plot was just like the old TV episodes. They even incorporated the old villains and minor characters. It was great!
Difficulty
Medium
I would say this is on the hard side of medium. However, this was our first room in awhile so our brains were rusty and we lost our smartest player mid-game. I think they offer a kid's version of the game, but we played the regular level. I think we needed two hints plus extra-time - lol. This was my 32nd game (27W - 5L) and I played with a group of three adults with similar stats.
Game tech
High tech
I think the room is a mixture of high-tech and mechanical (locks & keys) but leaning a little more towards tech.
Ideal number of players
3
This was my 32nd game (27W - 5L) and I played with a group of three adults with similar stats. We needed two hints and extra time, but that might be because our smartest player had to leave the game suddenly (unrelated to the game). Three players felt ideal for our experience level.
Scary
Not scary
This is definitely family-friendly.
Minimum age
8
A kid's version of the game is available, but I think an 8 year old would enjoy the adult version if playing with adults.
Was anything broken?
No
Everything was in working condition.
Live actors
No
No live actors, thank goodness!
Physically active
Somewhat
There is lots of hurrying around the room but nothing overly exhausting.
Accessibility
The room is probably large enough for a wheelchair, but there are color, visual, and auditory elements.
Easy to find location
Yes
It is in a mall, right off I-78
Parking
Easy
It is in a mall.

A good mix of physical and magnetic locks but it’s easy to miss one that opens. Probably ideal for 2-3 people.

A bit more linear than I expected but overall a fun theme for sure.
