Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)

Loved the room! Made it out with 2 mins to spare and with only one hint at the end.

Great Room, great atmosphere, great puzzles. Highly recommend this room! We found a pretty challenging and unique. I would think minimum is three people for this room, without clues

Make Pablo Proud 📁 Case No. 41: ESCOBAR The year is 1993. You’re working for Pablo Escobar in Medellin, Colombia when one of his most trusted allies betrays him. In his rage, Escobar takes out the informer who is the only one who knows where Escobar’s money and passport are hidden. The DEA are on their way. Can you find the items and escape? 🚨 Tip: Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. We barely escaped with our lives. It went down to the wire and I really mean DOWN. TO. THE. WIRE. ⏰ There were 0 seconds on the clock when we sent the final signal and escaped. This room stands apart from other escape rooms but you’ll have to play for yourself to find out why! The Escape Revolution just announced that they’re creating a new room which is a continuation of Escobar titled Chapter 2. Our crew will be reassembling to try and escape again. We booked this room originally for two with a promo code. I had a friend want to play last minute and they paid on the spot but were overcharged. We didn’t figure it out until we left. We called back and after some back and forth, they refunded us. If you book during the day and not on peak times, it costs less. If you look for the like green or pink times on their website, those are the lower prices/discounted times. They have a small lot for parking in the back of their building but we had to call for them to remove the chain that was blocking people from just driving up and parking there.

This room made you feel like you walked into a small town. You can never go wrong with the set design with this company. We took family with us to this room and they were amazed by the set design. Can't wait to see if more rooms are made

Overall the room was ok. The room it self had a lot of detail and the immersion was good, however it also held the room back at times as you can get lost in the details. The puzzles were on the tougher side as they're not as clear cut as your typical escape room. I would come at least 30 minutes early from the reservation time as they are very strict about time and will penalize you every minute over. Going over the objective of the room, rules, and using the bathroom will cut into your play time if you arrive late. I forgot our GMs name because thats how memorable he was and our game clock was not working which made it difficult to gauge how much time we should spend on a puzzle before asking for a hint. This room is also on the pricey end compared to other escape rooms. I would save doing this room for a rainy day when you have nothing else better to do.

Cool room, but what soured it for us was how strict they were with the time. Granted we got there 5min late, but every single minute after our reserved time counted and that included the GM giving us the intro. Before we started the room he stated we’d have 53min left. We go into the room and the GM does the whole intro thing, “does anybody need to put things in the locker” and all that then does the explanation of what we’re doing in the room. Then right after that he goes, ok your time starts now, you have 48min left. So the time he was talking also counted towards our time. And on top of that they had a tv screen in the room that didn’t show anything. I’m assuming it’s suppose to show the time but it didn’t, so we were pretty much left guessing how much time we had left so it was hard to pace how fast we needed clues if we got stuck. So I guess get there early but from what some other people have said, even then, they could still start you later and cut your game short. In all, I would be okay with it all if the GM had a little more personality and acted like he actually liked his job.

I had a blast !! Went for my birthday and I wish I can do it all over it again! 100/10 recommend

Extremely unique in some areas. Highly recommend!

This is a room that my family and I look back on and agree was excellent. We brought our B- game and the room spit us out. Challenging for sure, but not unsolvable. Not giving anything away…but so much square footage, made the game require sharp thinking. Best for four players, but five wouldn’t lessen the experience. One of our favorites we technically didn’t finish.

This is a must-play room! I went in with my boyfriend, and we escaped with 4 minutes remaining. They have lots lots of puzzles. We were stuck at the first one for 10 minutes, but all the other puzzles went smoothly and fast. Great storyline, and workout lol
