Escapology Escape Rooms Huntsville - Huntsville, Alabama

Jessica Brannon

First off our host was very nice but she talked so softly we couldn't hear her instructions and had to ask her to repeat them several times to make sure we understood but my biggest complaint is the clues. We did the Antidote room and there are clues taped on the side of test tubes with letters that equal numbers. 2 of the tubes the papers were torn that were taped on and you could not read the numbers. Had those been in working order we may have escaped but without those it was impossible. I feel like it was a scam rip off and definitely not worth the $86 I paid. I did the one in Huntsville years ago and it's much better quality and professional. My advice is you get what you pay for and go to Huntsville spend a little more $. This place is the ghetto version.

Great biginner puzzles. A lot of the props were warn a bit more than I would like. But most everything worked. We did two of the three rooms and they both had puzzle ideas that were new to us. Great all around. Looking forward to doing the third one some time.

15 mins left on the timer and asked for a clue 6 times only not to be answered or given a clue. Hit the button again at 3mins left on the timer and she finally asked us what we wanted. When I said a clue like I was asking for at 15 mins left she said "oh, sorry I was busy." Isn't the host job to help guide the guest through the adventure and not be "busy" doing something else? Almost $60 to get a "busy" signal on the clue button. I'm beyond upset with this experience. What's more upsetting it was my partners first escape game experience. What a joke.

Truly disappointing. I have been to many escape rooms in several states. This is the second time I have been to this one. A group of friends, some experienced, some newbies, did the Antidote room. Our host was less than enthusiastic, telling us it was getting late. Mind you, it was 8PM on a Saturday. When we asked for a clue, she had no idea we had already completed several clues. This is the host’s job.

Our second clue was useless. We wasted time telling her exactly what we had already done. We did finish the room with over 17 minutes left; however, it was due to sheer laziness on the part of the staff. I inadvertently found the last clue before we solved the two previous clues because they had not reset the room properly. It is infuriating to an escape room enthusiast because it’s, well about as satisfying as kissing your brother.

Needless to say, I will not be returning. On top of the escape room fiasco, the arcade games were boring, that is the ones that didn’t eat our money without actually giving us the game. The staff at the bowling alley seemed confused and uninterested in setting us up with lanes and the food, suffice to say, eat before you go. If you choose to eat there, just realize you will be asked to tip a robot. In my experience, a robot that never actually fulfills the order.

My advice, go to Huntsville Escape Room. Try Pysch Ward.

This place is difficult to find. We had a large party so we booked two rooms. When we arrived, no one came to greet us for probably 5-10 minutes. Once they did greet us, they asked us to sign a waiver which was excessively written and then they disappeared for about 20 minutes. The lady who introduced us to the game was very pleasant, and she is why there are two stars instead of one. However, the amount of work that went into decorating and creating a general ambiance/experience was really underwhelming, especially for the prices they are charging. Everything is really worn down and/or cheap quality. Markers didn't work, there was wear and tear on a lot of the items, and there were decorations and props that were completely broken with no apparent effort made to fix them. When we interacted with the guide they had to ask us whether we had done certain things, so it didn't seem like they were watching us with much interest in actually guiding.
When we escaped, our guide directly told us that one of the clues is so difficult to physically align that almost no one gets it and he always suggests using a clue for it. There are things that could be done to improve this and help players align these objects, but again it doesn't seem like there is much pride of ownership or real concern for the quality of experience players leave with.
Sadly, this is the least impressive escape room I've experienced, and I recommend considering a different venue if you're looking for immersion and quality.

These 2 stars are for the friendly staff. The escape room itself, was the worst I've ever done. We did the Antidote room. It was really dirty, hardly any props or anything to set the stage. Half the clues were broken & illegible. But the worst was that the clues made no sense. We've done a few escape rooms. Clues lead to other clues. Not for this room. Seriously... if you enjoy escape rooms, skip this one.

Ill start by saying the two people working were friendly, but didnt seem to have much training. Half of our game items were broken. Some things had actually been fixed, but no one told the person in charge of our game, so the answer was just revealed to us. We've done a lot of room escapes and this was by far the worst one, especially at $28 a player.

I went there with a group of 6 for $180, on a Saturday, in the afternoon. I booked 4 days in advance and had no problems. Overall Budapest express was quality and we all had fun. We also got a 25% off our next visit so we will definitely go back.
