7 Deadly Sins

I think Escapology is like the Burger King of escape rooms—If you are famished it can hit the spot but no one is itching to go there. The rooms are not well integrated or immersive. The staff appears overworked and the game masters give you clues that hold your hand for the next 3-5 steps instead of just nudging you in the right direction. That said, I got a gift card to come here so I wasn’t going to turn it down. This was my third room at this location and my favorite so far, but the story doesn’t make sense, many of the puzzles don’t have anything to do with the story, and the atmosphere is not immersive.

This was my first Escapology room and will be my last. If you are looking for an escape room company for a corporate event or birthday party, then this would be great. Compared to other escape room companies in the area, this was a let down. I get that this is a chain company and the rooms have to be simple enough to scale but this makes it really corporate and lifeless for those who are in it for the immersion and experience.

My first thought after entering the room was how can you fit more than 3 in this room. It got a little toasty with just the 3 of us. Definitely don’t do this with more than 4 unless you thrive in chaos. There were a few tech glitches when the video played but nothing too crazy. We had a lot of momentum at the beginning until one slowed us down. We could have solved it on our own but we got a free nudge, which we don’t mind. There were some leaps of logic with a few of their puzzles. Be prepared to burn your brain!

Intense ending! We finished this room with only seconds to spare!!

It was great but extremely hot. Wear shorts and tshirt if ur doing this room. I like the other rooms more tbh. Puzzles were fun and interesting tho

Overall mediocre room.

We did this with two kids and four adults total And it was kind of hectic. It’s very dark in there as we needed probably another flashlight, and they only provide one. It was kind of creepy. The theme and some of the puzzles were actually quite difficult but definitely doable. We definitely got frustrated a couple times, but I did love the ideas of some of the puzzles. We definitely needed some hints too.

I still had fun, and it’s not a bad idea if you’re spending time in City Walk, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for this one. The atmosphere was well done, but the room was relatively small, so I wouldn’t do this one with more than four. Some of the puzzles were pretty obscure in their solutions, but when we’d ask for a little nudge, we’d be given the entire solution.

The puzzles did not really match the theme. Like why would you create a room called “7 Deadly Sins” when there is no reference to these sins during the puzzles? The puzzles that were in the room also required leaps of logic and we were only able to beat record time because our game master had to pretty much nudge us every step of the way. Terrible room and I’ve been to other escape rooms where they have done the theme justice - this is not one of them. I’m disappointed because I expected the difficulty level to be as it is due to the puzzles. Now I know that this is due to the weak design. The room also smells stuffy from the fog machine and they should really consider a ventilation system for the space.

The storyline was a little complicated and the video was WAAAAY too long. The puzzles were alright. We did this room with a group of 6 and we felt soooo cramped! Wouldn’t recommend unless you don’t have a lot of options.
