One of the best experiences we've had. My family has done a lot of escape rooms for many years and I can confidently say this is one of the best. The content and quality for the price is spot on. We have done two of the rooms and will be back for more. The crew that work here are truly engaged. Wonderful experience for our first time friends and our more experienced Escapees! read more

A fun outing with a great staff who were very kind and organized. We did the Curious Case of Gillian Grace room and had such a great time. The room was very well thought out and provided some unexpected twists and turns. Our group of 8 are escape room aficionados and found The Escapery to be a top notch entertainment venue! After we broke out with 5 mins to spare, we also got to sign the winners wall (a fun add at the end) for the room we solved. Price was reasonable for the room and a discount was available via Groupon. read more

The Escapery - We did it! - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Great staff. Several experience rooms to choose from, all different sizes and difficulty levels.

My friend invited me to go to celebrate her husband's birthday. It was a group of 7 of us in total - and it was a lot of fun! I'll be back to try the other rooms. Reservations: We booked our room, Jack the Ripper, ahead of time. You'll need to sign waivers, which you can do before you even arrive or once you're there. Parking: There is ample free parking located near the building. My GPS took me to the backside of the building for some reason. Just drive around and you'll see the name of business on the other side - in case that happens to you too. Food: I didn't eat here. I'm not sure if they have anything for sale. Drinks: I didn't drink here, but I did see a sign that had various non-alcoholic drinks with prices next to them. Vibe: I really enjoyed working with Steven (Stephen??) as our guide. He's really into the escape room and his passion definitely made us excited for the experience. When we used clues, he was great in leading us in the right direction without giving too much away and I love how he was rooting for us the whole time. I believe we used 3 clues and we escaped! I'm looking forward to going back and checking out the other rooms. read more

This is only my second time experiencing an escape room and first time at The Escapery . First, check Groupon before you go because they might have an awesome deal for you and your friends. This location was much larger than the one I went to ITP, the business space and escape room. There's a few couches in the waiting area so you have a place to sit while you wait for your groups turn or friends to arrive. Only thing I didn't notice at Escapery was lockers, so we had to take our purses and jackets into the room with us. This location is opened Thursday - Sunday and you can book private events on Monday- Wednesday and during off hours. It's the perfect spot for team building or a party. Room: The escapery currently has 4 rooms and I believe they have a 5th room coming soon. Our group decided to choose Silo, 4/5 difficulty. It's a military themed adventure and not a game of horror which was perfect for me. It's a game of deduction and problem solving and every clue is important. It's important to work as a team and communicate with each other. Tip: If your group includes a child under the age of 12, you must book a Private Game. Service was outstanding and our host/ game master had a great personality and provided some assistance while we were in the puzzle room from time to time, we also had the option to call 3 times in the 60 minutes for help. Although we didn't complete our mission, we had loads of fun and laughs. I will definitely be back to try another room. read more

I highly recommend The Escapery for top notch escape room fun. Our group was comprised of two couples and we had an absolute blast barely beating Jack the Ripper. The puzzles were challenging, the props and lighting added so much to the experience and the "Constable" was phenomenal. Definitely want to go back for more. read more

What a fun time! My family and I all came here to try our first escape room experience, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The 6 of us made a private reservation and had the entire room to ourselves. We chose the Ripper room, and while we didn't make it out in time, we all really enjoyed it! (And we were able to guess the killer!) Jacob was a really great host, and would look forward to coming back for a second try! read more

Girls day out was a great experience at this place! We had a blast and our professor was awesome! He guided us through the process making it very interesting and fun. We are definitely going back to do a different room. Ready to take this to the next level! We did The Curious Case of Gillian Grace and it was quite challenging but we had a wonderful time. Place is very clean and the people are super fun. read more

The Escapery did a phenomenal job of hosting my surprise birthday/engagement party in April 2024. Staff was extremely helpful with setup and providing a space big enough for 50 people. I also enjoyed the fact I was not limited to a certain menu for food and decorating options. I was allowed the opportunity to provide my own. Great experience and great staff. Check them out for a date night or other engaging gatherings. read more

We had 3 couples and we chose the middle difficulty room and it was tough. Very challenging but definitely doable. The place was clean and the staff were great. The clues were well thought out as were the whole room. We will definitely be back we had a ball and opened the last box of grease with a minute or so left. We arrived for one of the last shows at like 8:30 pm well after dark, so the sign was hard to see from the main road.so the place is in a industrial park and their signage is right above the door, it sits off the road a little ways but has great parking. See y'all soon, we are looking forward to the next challenge!!!! read more

My wife and I are escape room enthusiasts, attending over 30 per year since 2017. We recommend the Escapery if you're in the area. Definitely choose it over the nearby Ultimate Escape Game, with whom we had the worst escape room experience ever. read more

The Escapery opened February 12, 2016 in north Marietta. It's one of the latest escape room game companies to open in metro Atlanta. Like several of these escape room businesses, The Escapery is located inside a nondescript office park. It's in the same office park as CrossFit Kennesaw. Just keep driving around the buildings until you find Suite 235. It's the one with the glowing red gear inside the storefront window. Our team of escape room enthusiasts (Team Bad Math) took on The Escapery for the first time on April 26, 2016. I say "first time" because we plan to return later this year and try their second room after it opens. Only one room is open right now - it's called Destiny. Destiny is set in the year 1952 and your team's objective is to recover the Spear of Destiny, a coveted artifact. It's obvious elements of Destiny were inspired by the Indiana Jones movies. We were told by Mark, the owner, that they plan to open their second room, called Silo, in August. Silo is a Cold War-themed room. This is a family-owned business and I believe this is the only location. It's not a chain like Amazing Escape Room (Sandy Springs) or Breakout (Peachtree Corners, Buckhead) for example. If I recall correctly, Mark and his wife Haley are the owners and they built this place from the ground up. Mark quit his job as a civil engineer to enter the escape room business and he's the game designer. If you've never done an escape room before, here's the jist: You and your friends pay to be locked in a room filled with clues. Working against the clock (timers are typically set to 60 minutes), your group must follow the trail of clues, solving riddles and puzzles along the way, to find the key to unlock the door and escape the room. I think it's a lot of fun because you're put into a real-life, dramatic, movie-like situation. To get a good idea of what it's like, just watch this hilarious video of Conan O'Brien trying to solve an escape room: https://youtu.be/3LMtRG4Mc54. Many escape room companies have opened in metro Atlanta over the last few years. At the time of writing this review, I've played 21 different rooms at 11 different locations (9 different businesses) throughout the Atlanta area. The businesses include Room Escape Atlanta (Tucker and Edgewood), Mystery Room (Sugarloaf Mills), Paranoia Quest (Downtown), Mission: Escape (Loring Heights), Amazing Escape Room (Sandy Springs), Escape the Room (Downtown), Breakout (Peachtree Corners and Buckhead), Ultimate Escape Game (Galleria 75), and The Escapery (Marietta). I've reviewed all of them, so if you're curious about each one, you can check out my list on Yelp here: https://www.yelp.com/list/atlanta-escape-room-games-atlanta. The list is generally sorted from my most favorite escape room company to my least favorite, but let me be clear - I think all of them, except for perhaps Mystery Room, are a blast. The Escapery has a 1940s/1950s theme going on. At least, that's what it feels like to me. The vintage radio in the lobby and the art deco-style graphics designed for each room remind me of the video game series BioShock. Overall, this business is well crafted with a fine attention to detail. It looks great. I like that the lobby is nice and bright, perfect for team photos, which is essential for any escape room business. Some escape room companies' photo areas are too dark. I noticed the room we played, Destiny, has an elaborate storyline. It may have the most elaborate setup and story of any room I've played up to this point. I could tell Mark really put a lot of thought into it. He even came up with reasons, that fit into the story, for why we could only ask for three hints during the game. (Normally, most escape room companies will allow you to radio or ask aloud for up to three hints, but it's just part of the game rules, not a part of the story.) Like other escape room companies, there are cameras inside the game room so the staff can monitor your progress and give you hints when needed. They can hear you too. Unlike other escape room companies, you are not really locked in the room. The staff have left the room unlocked in case you need to take a potty break. In Destiny, your objective is not to escape the room anyway. It's to recover the Spear of Destiny from an archeologist's office. Also, other rooms I've played have a monitor with the timer on the wall. Here, you're given a stopwatch which someone on the team must hold onto and keep track of. All in all, we really enjoyed Destiny. There was one malfunction, but it did not deter from our overall enjoyment with the room. We beat it with a time of 41:12 which was the second best time. We played the room with a group of seven, the maximum number allowed. The Escapery charges $28 per person per room + Cobb County sales tax. This price is comparable to other escape rooms around town. We found a deal on Groupon (https://www.groupon.com/deals/the-escapery) so it cost us only $17.86 per person. We'll be back. read more

That was a lot of fun. My friends and I are no strangers to escape rooms. We had the good fortune to attend a private New Year's Eve party here, and had the run of the place for the evening. Staff was professional and friendly. They took good care of us and the facility. They never dropped the ball, even if it was New Year's, and everyone had a blast. And the rooms were quite cleverly put together. In some ways, I would like to see them become a little more challenging. Some of the puzzle / combination sequences were a direct linear progression of problem solving. Not that there is anything wrong with this, but if it were a room of MY design, I'd "stir the spaghetti a bit." But the themes and decorations and storylines were a lot of fun, and I'd happily return for another experience. Holler if you're coming with. read more

The escape room and host were great, but during the event a cryptograph rolled onto the floor and the end came off. The host said it was fine and we continued on. After we were done we leave and when we get home we see a charge for $37. Poor customer service for not at least emailing or calling me about this before charging me. read more

We had so much fun! This was our first experience with an escape room and it was a really good time. We can't wait to go back!

Felix was awesome!! We chose the Ripper and it was super fun and challenging. We got to the last room and ran out of time!! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS!! read more

The Escapery - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

This place was easy to find and worth the price. We had so much fun and will definitely be back.

We went back a second time. Brought a group of teens. And again they were wonderful. The Escapery was so much fun! We've been to one other place in Kennesaw. This was by far the best. The way they stay in character was so amusing. The special effects were great. Thanks to all the great folks at the Escapery. Again, you found a way for teens and us older folks to have fun. read more

My family had a blast! Room was so much fun. We are going to definitely want come back soon!

"Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?" -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) The Escapery is a new Escape Room business located near the base of Kennesaw Mountain at the edge of Marietta. They actually prefer to refer to themselves as Adventure Games versus Escape Rooms, which I find interesting and different. The room was definitely one of the most creative we have done, and felt like a bit of an adventure. I would still classify this as an escape room (with an adventure feel). Honestly, I had not hear about this place until it popped up while I was writing a review for another escape room venue - and I added it to my list of places to do. Then it popped up on Groupon one day (with a 5 minute ticking clock) and I needed to jump on it immediately. I was thankful for the discount with as many of these rooms as we do, but the room was great enough that I would pay full price as well. They currently have 1 room open with one under construction and another 1 or 2 in concept meetings. Destiny is a cool concept - you must retrieve the Spear of Destiny. ***MILD SPOILERS*** Do not read this if you want to do this room. The concept is very Raiders of the Lost Ark. Not a ton of locks (as with other rooms) and you just have to find the spear to be finished - no final code to open the door to get out. In fact, they don't actually lock you in the room at all. You can come and go as you please. This messes with the feeling of needing to escape at all. Clearly why they are going for more of an adventure versus an escape. Also, one somewhat major point for me, there is no timer in the room. They send you into the room with an antique pocket watch to track your time. To be fair, we set it down on a table when we got in there and forgot about it. I respect the aesthetics of the room and not spending money on a countdown clock - but we really had no idea what our time was at any point. This really killed the sense of urgency. We had one minor hiccup in the room where one of the the tricks failed. Luckily our game master was watching us on camera and realized we had done everything right and brought me the key we needed (it was supposed to appear and did not). Also, we were able to bypass an entire serious of clues because we figured something out - a bit disappointing - but we still solved the room. I'd ask that you consider, at least, adding a real timer in the room for Silo. ***END OF SPOILERS*** Our overall experience was great. We arrived 15 minutes before our booked time (as instructed) for signing waivers and the establishment was dark (closed). I called the number listed on Yelp and the owner answered (thank goodness). He had not seen us on the schedule and had left. Turns out there was a huge corp event for several hours before us and he did not realize anyone was scheduled afterwards. He was embarrassed and drove back and had returned in about 7 minutes from our conversation. He was very apologetic and accommodating as he reset the room, gave us waters, let us use the restrooms, etc. and made sure we were ready to go. He was also a great game master. He paid attention to what we were doing and gave us helpful hints, not hints to things we had already done. The next morning, I received another apology via email, inviting Team Bad Math back to do Silo once it opens. That's Customer Service folks! We will definitely return to The Escapery!! read more

This was a fantastic place for a family outing. We had a blast. Great aesthetic with cool vibes from everyone there. They went above and beyond to provide a personalized experience for my nephew that blew his little mind. We will be back to try one of the other rooms, they have many. read more

PERFECT birthday party for teens, date night, group dates, etc etc! Party room was on point. The Silo room ..... what can I say ... we caused WWIII and didn't solve the puzzle but had an amazing time this afternoon - close to Marietta square so you can go play a room and head to the square for some refreshments and to pet all the adorable dogs people are walking read more

great birthday exprience for teen! host/guide was great. although it was a "beginner" level, we worked all 60 minutes

I took my Granddaughter and Wife here had a great time. Staff friendly knowledgeable and answer any questions, if you like a fun challenge and want to get your brain working and love mysteries then look know further. Be ready to try your wits because it is a challenge to try and escape in an hour it goes by quick when having fun. Will definitely return to try other escape rooms at the Escapery. In joy and hope you enjoy as much as we did read more

The Escapery - Fun at the escapery - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Our host Olivia was awesome, so great in character. We did the Curious Case of Gillian Grace, their hardest room at The Escapery, and it was so much fun. My wife and I, along with four others, escaped with 5 minutes to spare. The puzzles were so creative and imaginative, they were extremely challenging. We had a great time, and we can't wait to go back! read more

The Escapery - We escaped! - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

First time here, but we've done escape rooms before, about two a month, (love them!) We done the Gillian Grace room. Very fun and challenging! What I like about this place is it's genuine, everything from scratch compared to other escape rooms. Nicely done! Customer service like James was nice, knowledgeable, (General manager). The atmosphere of the place was cool, unique. We're going to come back to do the others. One of the best. read more

I've done all 3 of the rooms at the Escapery, and I can definitely say they have my favorite puzzles out of the 20+ escape rooms I've done. They build all of their props and puzzles, and the craftsmanship is phenomenal. It's a small business in Kennesaw owned by awesome and creative people, and the rooms are great quality. They're even tied together!!! Out of any escape room, I feel their puzzles coincide with the theme and narrative the best. I can't wait to see the next room and try it out! They're the best in Atlanta by far, and I highly recommend them. read more

The Escapery - :) we won silo!!! - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

We did the Jack the Ripper room. It was fun however, our game master gave us wrong clues so we spent a lot of wasted time on the wrong things. In the end someone else came and helped but it was a bit too late. They don't show you the final clues in the end which is weird. Every other company has shown us how you would have gotten out at the end but this one just said come and try again...... yeah, no thanks. Mindscape in Kennesaw was much better. read more

We went as a family and had such a great time!! I've been to plenty of Escape Rooms, but this had to be one of my favorites. Our Game Master Natalie did such a great job of not only helping us but staying in character in the Jack the Ripper room. Just a great environment! Brilliantly designed! read more

I had never experienced an escape room event and I went in without any expectations. This place was awesome! The decor was spot on and the actual Room was very complicated and intriguing. read more

Amazing escape room experience!! Secret doors that open, hidden compartments, attention to detail is impressive. They are organized, professional and creative. Multiple scenarios to choose from - We will definitely be back read more

We had a fantastic time doing the Jack the Ripper room for my roommate's birthday. We dared do the most challenging room but had the best time doing it even though we didn't get out in time. Our game master was incredible to work with and made our escape room newbie friends ecstatic to visit again. We will certainly be back and I can't wait to book our next visit. read more

This escape room was so much fun!! Our game master was amazing and very accommodating to our group. They also have a great variety of rooms to choose from ranging from family friendly to a little bit more scary. Our group did Destiny Origins. The room was beautifully put together and the puzzles allowed everyone to work together to solve. read more

Poorly planned cramped space with lighting that made reading difficult, for older adults. Our game mater read from a piece of paper in a choppy fashion (as if it was the first time he read the script) with awkward / confused pauses. Music began playing, mid-game, with no connection to any of the clues. Just oops, forgot to turn it on at the beginning! No running timer in the room, unlike most other escape rooms. The key take away: the game master can make or ruin an experience. In this case, he ruined it. Complete waste of time and money. read more

Just left the room, didn't escape but was a lot of fun, challenging by the minute, started easy and turned in to a real complicated puzzle. Highly recommended. Can't wait to be back read more

This was my first escape room experience. I love playing these types of games online, so this was right up my alley. We did the Ripper. It was challenging. It was my husband, brother, my 2yo, and myself. Even our 2yo was involved. We had an hour to finish. We didn't finish, but we did get down to the last puzzle before solving. Just 5 more minutes and we might have finished! We probably spent too long in the first of 3 rooms. I did guess who the murderer was, though. I can't wait to try the other rooms, Destiny and Silo. This was a worthy experience, and very well decorated Victorian-themed rooms. read more

We had a blast laughing, finding clues & solving puzzles together! It was super exciting, and I highly recommend it for a group of friends or family. We did the "Jack The Ripper" rooms. Buy tickets (discount on Facebook)...you won't regret it! read more

The Escapery - After finishing...we saved the girl & guessed who "Jack The Ripper" was! - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

This was crazy FUN! We did NOT escape within our one hour time allotment, however we had a blast working towards getting out. We are first timers so it took us about 30 minutes to get the hang of what we were doing but once we got the ball rolling we were able to solve the clues much faster. It was nice to have the hints if we needed them too. The story is great and well thought out and some of the puzzles were simply INGENIOUS! We had 5 adults, 1 teenager, a 10 year old, and an 8 year old. There was something for all of us to do to contribute. We are still talking about it! It was an extremely fun afternoon for our family and we cannot wait to try the new adventure when it's ready. We would absolutely recommend The Escapery to everyone! read more

The Escapery - We did NOT escape with The Spear of Destiny! - Escape Games Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

We had a group of 5 for the Gillian Grace (Intermediate) room and had a blast. It was just the perfect amount of time to complete it (with maybe 5 minutes left). While it was all in one room and there was ample space for all of us to move about (and would have easily been able to fit more people with us comfortably. With it being just one room, there were definitely a large amount of clues and 'tasks' to complete, and needed to work together to finish it. The staff was wonderful and very helpful with the extra clues for us, without giving us any answers. Will definitely be back for another go at a different room! read more

My wife set up this adventure with our extended family (14 of us in total) for my birthday celebration. We reserved two rooms, split up men versus the women. We had an awesome time and all involved are anxious to return soon. I recommend it highly. And, much to my surprise, the men beat the women, but only by about 1 minute. read more
