- Escape room

“Could not recommend this room more. Puzzles were linear and made sense but challenged your thinking at the same time. Felt very immersive and because of that, working with people you just met came easily. Great for team building, favorite room at Escapology I have done (Mansion/Budapest were the others).”

Escape Hour Austin
Overwhelmingly Positive
2113 Wells Branch Pkwy STE 4300, Austin, TX 78728, USA
- Escape room

“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.”

“Another absolute banger from Escape Hour - This room is best for larger groups and requires strong communication and trust if you want to escape. We experienced this game with 6 people and that felt like it was the perfect amount, however, I can see much larger groups participating in this room and still enjoying themselves. Puzzles are solid, and the environment is immersive.”

Novel Escape
Very Positive
7950 Anderson Square #108, Austin, TX 78757, USA
- Escape room
- IRL
“We were immediately enamored with Kell's poetic introduction. The tie to books was a unique twist for some avid readers, but no knowledge of the novels was required. The room was immersive and there were many unique puzzles we hadn't seen before or had inventive takes on some classics which is hard after 300+ rooms. All the puzzles were logical and our twosome required no hints. The game master was amazing in the intro/outro and was quick to nerd out about escape rooms after. Rumor has it they have a couple more rooms in the works and frankly we can't wait to see what else this brand will offer!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
