DANIKA was AMAZING 🤩 She literally made our night here!!! I love this place but I would come back just for her, haha! The entire staff was amazing, really! I’ve done a bunch of escape rooms and this by far is one of the best! I will definitely be back to do all of the other rooms! Make this trip to Boston, it’s worth it!!!!!

Amazing experience! Very immersive and the props were done really well. Our group did the Witching Hour which is one of their newest rooms. The guide is very helpful as well!

We did a room with four people and had a great time! Our host Jamie was beyond awesome and really helped us out with great hints 😅 The room worked the Naval theme in cleverly as well. We would definitely come back to do another room!

If we had one small suggestion, one of the items in the room did not look clearly like the clue it was, such that we could have been in there a long time and not realized what it was. Could just be us but would have been nice if it were just a bit clearer 🙂

This is one of the most fun escape rooms we have ever done. We completed the Hot Dog Heist and it was really fun having to go back and forth between rooms to solve some of the puzzles. We even set a record and our team of 7 took a spot on the leaderboard--this came with the added perk of a small souvenir. Trapology has very well thought out escape rooms, fun props, and excellent guidance from our host Clarissa. Once over, Clarissa snapped and printed/emailed photos of the group, which was very thoughtful. Looking forward to returning!

After wrapping up the rooms at Red Fox Escapes, their staff recommended that we check out Trapology by the Commons. We have done The Retreat and Submarine. We are excited to return and do some of their more unique room themes like Boobie Trap (18+) and Hotdog Heist. Our game master, Grace, was engaging and clear when explaining the room, and helpful along the way (for instance, without spoiling, we struggled with inputting a code and Grace let us know we had the correct answer but just needed to try again... or that we would be able to lift something that appeared heavy).

The rooms were incredibly well designed physically and aesthetically. The puzzles themselves were well thought out and an approximate difficulty level. We loved having to consistently use our entire spaces and clues. It felt more cohesive, instead of linear. This also certainly helped spread out our large group. While most escape rooms will offer to take photos for your group after you're wrapped up, we were able to take photos in the themed escape room itself and they took a photo which was emailed to folks AND printed free of charge which makes for a great souvenir!

Now for the details...

Price: $40-50 depending on whether you want a public or private room

Building/Entrance: entering Trapology is jokingly the first part of the escape room. You have to buzz in and Trapology is on the 2nd floor. You can use the stairs or the elevator. You'll check in on the second floor. Some games are on floors above and can be accessed via stairs or a very small, rectangular elevator. If you're concerned about the accessibility of a specific room, I recommend contacting them in advance before booking.

Restrooms: there are restrooms on site on all floors where there are escape rooms. Clean and well maintained

Merchandise: they have a handful of souvenirs - t shirt, a really cool keychain/bottle openers, and an enamel pin

Waiting Area: they have waiting areas inside if you arrive early or are waiting for a ride pick up. The waiting area has comfy chairs, common tabletop games, and fun decor. I wish I had taken more photos of their set up!

Transportation: For the cheapest parking, I recommend finding street parking or parking underneath the Commons. Street parking is easier to find and is free on Sundays. The area is always easily accessible by public transit

Bonus: you get a free souvenir if you make it to their leader board, which is adjusted for how big your party is. motivation!

Of note... Trapology also does outdoor escape rooms (like an outdoor guided scavenger hunt) and will mail escape rooms in a box!

My friend and I did The Witching Hour with Sam and Danika, and we had such a fantastic job! There were only 2 in our group and they gave us moderate clues as we requested. They were so nice and the room was so well done. I really enjoyed the experience, and the clues were unique and fun. We absolutely want to come back to do the rest of the rooms when we can! The spooky and cozy vibes were immaculate!

William and Kayla were an awesome gamemaster team! We loved Brain Experiment and Ghost Submarine - clever and humorous puzzles (especially in Brain Experiment), really good theming and set design, all with a great customer service experience. I'll definitely be back for Hot Dog Heist!

Did Ghost submarine and it was AWESOME! Very clever and interactive room! Mars was our host and she was amazing at keeping us on track but without giving away too much info. Totally recommend!
