Special Ops: Mysterious Market
The Escape Game Houston - The Galleria
Escape room
IRL
Mission Ops is a thematic sequel to another game that The Escape Game used to run called Classified. I played Classified in Austin, and was unsure if this would be different. It only looks the same, though. All the puzzles are different. Had a good time. Loved the progression of the story and the change in atmosphere.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Novel Escape
Escape room
IRL
This game has some of the best designed puzzles of any escape room I've played. They're well thought out, challenging, and work with the theme of the room. If you're in Austin, and are an escape room or puzzle enthusiast, then this is the room I recommend that you do. Hands down.
Prison Break
The Escape Game
Escape room
IRL
This is my favorite game at this location, it's also their hardest. I played this a few years ago (2021, I think?), and it's had some small updates since then. But it's pretty challenging, and you have to be on your toes during it, especially at the beginning. You start in adjoining rooms and have to go from there.
Playground
The Escape Game
Escape room
IRL
Cool game. It's designed for larger groups, and gets harder with fewer people. We did it with just the two of us, and we were huffing by the end.
The Poe Adventure
The Secret Chambers - Arlington
Escape room
IRL
I asked someone who has designed multiple escape room what his favorite room was, and he said this one. So I had to try it when I was in Dallas. It's very cool. There's lots of neat things to find, and the puzzles are innovative.
Rugrats: Search For The Losted Toys
The Escape Game - Las Vegas
Escape room
IRL
So, this company operates nationally. The Rugrats game is their Playground game with a different theme. I had played Playground, but was curious to see what was different. There were one or two different things, but if you've done Playground, this one will be familiar. The Rugrats theme was fine, though it didn't really add anything for me.
The Third Gate
The Third Gate Hotel Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
Had not intended on doing this on Halloween, but it worked out. Sadly, I can't give a positive review, though. It felt like the darkness and jump scares were just there to hide over some poor puzzle design. There were puzzles that didn't really make much sense, and some where they were duplicating the puzzle (which was meant to help, but ended up being confusing). There was one point where one of us was isolated from the other with nothing to do.
Chained
Black Cats Number One Escape Room [prev. Number One Escape Room]
Escape room
IRL
It's really neat being in a room specifically designed for two people. Great use of space in where they put it, and we had fun. You're "chained" to a chair facing opposite directions, and have to work together to find solutions. We had a great time.
The Fortune Teller
Lost Games
Escape room
IRL
This was amazing. It wasn't a typical escape room, as you weren't looking around for puzzles. They were all on the wall, but you encountered them as you went through the game. The puzzles were fantastic, and the story was fun. There is an actor in it, which I usually find to be cheesy or annoying, but it wasn't in this case. He's not there the whole time, but is good when he was. Absolutely loved it, and would highly recommend it.
The Asylum: Playtime
Lost Games
Escape room
IRL
Played this while visiting and did all three of their rooms. It's billed as "chapter 2", but you don't really need to do them in order. The story connecting them is pretty thin, but that's not a bad thing. There were some great and clever bits in this.
