We had a walkie talkie to ask for hints which was very helpful. FYI, you aren't allowed to take videos or pictures inside but the set up is pretty cool. Would definitely recommend with a group.

I've done a couple of Escape Rooms before and this was by far the best one. I came with my wife and…read morestepson, it was their first time and he really wanted to do an Escape Room. I did some research and the location and reviews of Boxroom led me to try it. We're all so glad we did. For beginners and kids they recommended the Merlin Room - it's still challenging! Kids still need to go with adults and you probably cannot solo this one - it really encourages teamwork. This made for great, memorable family time and even team building! I loved the theme, It's hard to talk about it too much without giving away surprises, but I can safely say that you won't be disappointed. The Merlin room is filled with mystery, magic, and the staff is so friendly and good, they made for a great experience. A couple of times we needed just a slight nudge or clue, and they gave exactly that, it was perfect and kept us engaged. We finished the room and felt so great, it was an immersive experience and my stepson already wants to come back next weekend to do the Pirates Room. We'll definitely be back. There's parking available on the street, it's on Hollywood Boulevard, so there's plenty to walk around and enjoy before or after your Escape Room experience - lots of nice restaurants there too. It's also about a 10 minute drive from Hollywood Beach. Great place!

But as I near the anniversary of this event and me and soon to be wife remember it, ahh man, I'm so happy with these peoole. Posting the text from my Google review: Escapology - Fort Lauderdale is a wonderful, fun experience for groups of all sizes. In my case, I proposed to my fiancé there. Ana, the manager and our game master, MJ20 went above and beyond to ensure this was a memorable experience for both of us. Ana helped me plan everything and MJ20 delivered a challenging and fun experience that we will never forget. We will return soon!

EDIT: after sharing this review I was personally contacted by the GM of Escapology. They apologized…read morefor the treatment and offered the walk-in discount, in addition to a discount should we ever return. The e-mails continued even beyond normal business hours to ensure we walked away as satisfied customers. The refund was returned the very next day. Even with the way things went on the premises in person, we are more than satisfied with their effort to make it right. Thank you, Escapology. We called on a Monday afternoon to inquire about availability, we were told they had openings and she would take our info over the phone and charge us for one person to hold a spot for us as we were twenty minutes away. When we asked about parking, the person on the phone instructed us that there was a parking garage on Cortez St, but she failed to mention that we could get parking validated by them for $15 and not have to pay the $21 parking fee. We only learned about the parking validation from the sign on the entry desk after we had already paid for parking in the garage around the block and we weren't going back down there to haggle for the $6 savings. There is also a sign as you enter the building that says to ask about the walk in discount. We asked about the discount four separate times, as we had two people paying for families, and each time Myesa ignored the question. It wasn't until she was asking for my payment that I stated she was ignoring our question and she told us we couldn't get the walk in discount because we called first. We asked how much the discount would have been and she said 20%, so with our group total of $280 that would have saved us $56 dollars. Note: it doesn't have any terms or conditions for the discount listed on the sign. After we stated it would have been nice to know that on the phone as well, Myesa was a bit smug, but showed us to our room. There are no bathrooms for paying customers, you must go downstairs one level to use the public restroom. For the price you pay at this location, which is the most expensive escape room we've ever done, for not any better quality or courteous staff, we won't be returning. The only bonus about this escape room is that it is right on the beach and close to many other restaurants and things to see and do. Find another escape room where they actually care about the customer.

We've tried all 3 rooms here and each one is a ton of fun! Cryptic Cay had actual sand on the floor…read moreand there were a few rooms within it. Part of a plane is even one of the props! Escape Your Nightmares was a more interactive game experience which we prefer over rooms with mainly locks! Get ready for some jump scares though! Polly's Problematic Predicament had a lot of locks, but also a number of interactive games so it was a good balance. This is a room for open-minded people. It's full of toys, but not the kind that kids play with All of the rooms are fun, challenging but not impossibly difficult. The game masters are all friendly and helpful when you need them!

We really enjoyed some of the unique puzzles that are included in the games throughout this entire company. Cons: I will forever bring down a star because these are technically shared experience so if someone books the same time as you, you're stuck with a stranger and I despise that. And the fee to reserve the whole room is insane. There's a reason almost every other escape room doesn't have this anymore and it's much smarter. I would never book one of these rooms in advance because of the risk of getting stuck with someone. The other thing I didn't like was the one employee that was at the front desk. He was not very friendly and not helpful. All other staff members were fantastic. Gold rush: there were a few glitches in the room. There's a shooting part which is really hard because the things you need to shoot at are slightly to heavy for the "ammo" you're using making it insanely hard to get them to move properly. Also there was not anywhere near enough water in a different take to get it to work properly. However everything else was great. Timeliener: no negatives. I like everything about it. Overall I will always recommend this company and their rooms nationwide (as long as I'm never stuck with random people in a shared room).

We made it a double date after a miami spice dinner, which turned out to be such a great night. The price was what I expected it to be. We solved the room at the last moment!

We will definitely be back to master the next two rooms!

The pricing was quite affordable and it was an easy Friday night outing before some drinks in the neighborhood. Once we entered the room, our host gave us the rundown of how the challenge worked and the outline of how the puzzles worked in efforts to secure our escape within an hour. We started off in one corner as we made our way around the room solving each puzzle with their appropriate clues earning a piece from each used to solve the final puzzle to obtain the key to exit. It was pretty engaging to use our minds together to solve each step as we laughed through half of the time throughout our hour in the room. I had a great time and recommend it to those looking to celebrate a birthday, throw an office party, or look to get together with plenty of friends for an alternative form of fun. I got a tour of the other rooms designated for larger parties with increased difficulty just to have a visual for ideas for future outings. The staff was super nice and accommodating so it's a perfect spot for friends and family to unite and have a night of fun in a very collaborative way.

We broke up into two groups, the adults and the semi adults (teens to 21 years old). We played Murder on the Orient Express and almost finished! The young lady at the entrance told us it was difficult but we also heard it was solved within 44 minutes as the best time. I think our problem was my group thought they were smart and didn't want to get clues. Don't do it! Get the clues, it helps a lot and will save time. Still, we didn't do too bad since another 3-5 minutes and we would have solved it too! The kids played Mansion Murder and they did finish it. They held it over our heads for a while but also confessed they did get the clues early. I would go again and again. It is a lot fun and there are other rooms I would love to play, now that I know a little bit more about how things work.
