Absolute Five Stars for Escapology!…read more We tackled the Scooby-Doo escape room, and wow... it was one of the most challenging rooms I've ever done. I've never failed to escape before, but this one got us! We were literally one or two steps away when the clock ran out. It was frustrating, but at the same time, incredibly entertaining. I have to admit, I felt like I let my son down because he was really hoping we'd beat it. When you're paying for an escape room, it definitely stings a little when you don't make it out. But honestly, that's part of what makes it such a great experience it leaves you wanting another shot. Pro tip: Bring four or five people if you can. There are so many clues, puzzles, and different things happening at once that having extra sets of eyes makes a huge difference. It's easy to lose time chasing the wrong clue or overlooking something that's right in front of you. Escapology in Clackamas/Happy Valley is top-notch. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and full of creative, immersive rooms with different themes and adventures. The puzzles are clever, the atmosphere pulls you in, and the whole experience keeps you engaged from start to finish. Yes, it's a little on the pricey side, but you only live once. It's a fantastic activity for families, friends, date nights, birthdays, or team-building. Even if you don't escape, you'll leave talking about the experience and laughing over everything you missed. We'll definitely be back for a rematch. Highly recommended!

My daughter has…read morecompleted/done 3 rooms at Escapology- Saving Santa with friends, had her birthday party there and did The Lost City, and attended a birthday party which was in the Scooby-Doo room. All 3 times the kids had a blast and had to work as a team to escape. We love that they have options for kids escape rooms there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The decor is great and sets a fun vibe. The party room is good sized and has lots of decorations already there which is super helpful. We were able to watch the kids via a screen in the party room which was fun to see them problem-solve. Would recommend checking out the escape rooms at Escapology.

The kids were able to help out quite a bit and got a kick out of it. You can communicate with them while you're in and I think they're constantly watching you. There were a couple of instances where they clarified some things for us even when we didn't ask for help and that was much appreciated. We were able to finish it successfully in time. No complaints! Will try again!

Even with the chaos of wrangling a 3 year old and my visiting mom, Mike (owner and our game master) was so patient, attentive, and kind. It was all our first time doing any kind of escape room, but compared to what I've seen at other places, I really love the setup here. Instead of being stuck in a single room that you have to find your way out of, it's a series of spaces with clues all over, so the elements of working together feel really collaborative, and the overall experience of the story is fun and engaging. I'd say it's definitely appropriate for all ages and the School of Magic game in particular gives all the vibes of a certain magic series without giving a certain hateful woman any more money! So much attention to detail and plenty of fun surprises along the way. 10/10 would recommend, especially as we move into rainy season and need more fun things to do indoors.

Josh was a great guide giving us clues or nudges when needed to move us along and was very tolerant of our curious 5 year olds questions and energy. The kids are already asking when we can go again! I was the only one who had much experience in escape rooms, so although we did not make it out together we still had a great time solving the clues we could. The room was quite interactive with several elements you had to engage with in just the right way, rather than just a series of locks to open. Definitely challenging for us but maybe that just means we need to come back and have more practice!

During the game play we could ask for clues, we needed many, ha, ha. The clues they gave were helpful and helped us push on to eventually solve it with only less than a minute on the clock. We did the Tales from the Attic room. I won't give away any of the room, I will only say it was kind of like a mystery game of hang man to fill in the clues as we found them. It was different than other escape rooms I have done, but it was fun figuring out the clues to fill in the puzzles. I believe they have 4 different escape rooms here and I am sure they are all just as fun. If you are looking for a fun group activity, work outing, birthday party, etc. I would recommend an escape room and if in the Portland area check out Escape Games PDX. If you solve the game, you can pick a little key trinket as well and go up in the leader board if you solve it fast enough. We unfortunately did not make the leader board. Enjoy!

We did the Prison Heist room because a couple of us had never done an Escape Room before and it seemed like a perfect starter room. Loved that the room is non-linear and the clues were all cohesive. You had a choice of dressing the part as they had inmate costumes readily available. The door is never locked so you can get out if needed. Also, for this room, there is no clock. Your gamemaster will let you know once you have 30 and 10 minutes left. Jake gave us fantastic clues and didn't make us feel like idiots for asking. I feel like we asked for only maybe a handful of clues. We escaped with about 11 minutes to spare. Loved that they had merch for each specific room. Makes it easier to grab a souvenir. We also were able to pick out a tiny key as our prize for escaping. Cute touch. Good job, Escape Games PDX!

Krocbuster was a challenge! We definitely needed all our clues and hints and the host was helpful for those. It's a small room and was hard to divide and conquer. The whole group was always kind of focused on one thing and that held us up. With all the help we got, we were JUST shy of "escaping." We could have done it with two extra minutes.

When we noticed 3 months after buying one as a gift for a child and tried to contact the site that hosts this company, they said that we had to contact escape tech directly.
