Easily the best room I’ve done. So well decorated and designed. Loved how everything looked and felt… at times I did feel some puzzles were a bit confusing or didn’t really flow with others. Bear in mind, we tried it with 2 people. I can definitely see why you’d need 3 people minimum. But anymore more than 4 feels like it would be too crowded. Also… not a spoiler ** fair warning** there’s a good amount of crawling and climbing. Just a heads up for anyone with sore/weak knees lol

This game was so good! Definitely need to be prepared to crawl into a few spots and climb around but by far one the most interesting and well designed rooms I’ve seen!

The production on this room is on par with one of the national escape room companies. Really great. Puzzle design was good, and the components and atmosphere was great. It's a large room with lots to discover. I'm used to doing rooms with just 2, and this one was too big for us. Our only failure to escape. But they offer a 50% discount on replays, so we went back to experience the last part of the room. I'd highly recommend a team of at least 4 for this one, even if you're used to doing rooms with 2.

There are definitely parts that will be an issue for people with mobility issues. Color blindness may be an issue for a small part of it.

It's not on the road. You have to drive around into a business park to find it.

Well decorated room, great mix of puzzle/lock types, very immersive and structure. Highly recommend if you visit Austin as a “must do” imo.

Gameplay

Solid and smooth. Clever puzzles and good mix of lock / challenge types

Atmosphere

Incredible. One of the best I’ve experienced.

Customer service

Super friendly and kind. The folks that work there aren’t there for just the paycheck. They love escape rooms too and understand you are paying hard earned money to experience something cool and they get it and stoke the passion of players both before and after.

Physically active

Very

Moreso than most. Be ready for some crawling in tight spaces. Nothing unsafe but some parts require some maneuvering or decent dexterity
