The hour-plus experience was packed with clever, brain-stretching scenarios that kept us fully engaged from start to finish. The staff were friendly, professional, and completely committed to their characters, which made the experience even more immersive. As first-timers, we appreciated the guidance along the way, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We're already planning our return to tackle the other escape rooms! Chow.

We did the Dr. Gene Etics room on Aug 1, 2025. LOVED this room! Such a great design with some…read morereally novel effects. Puzzles were difficult, but doable. Overall, a really challenging but exceptionally fun room. One of the best I've done in DFW. This location is really the grandfather of DFW escape experiences. Don't let the location or look of the building fool you - they really do a great job with their three (soon to be four) rooms. Also, the pricing is one of the better deals in DFW. Just can't praise the design and overall set production enough. The staff and owners are first-rate, friendly, and just love escape rooms. One of them even wrote a book on escape room design (which we bought)! We'll be back for the third room (already did Captain Skully) and, once complete, the fourth room.

As an escape room lover, this place really disappointed…read more This review will explain why without giving away any spoilers. In the mafia themed escape room: - one of the compartments was stuck, meaning we couldn't get the next clue even though we did the clue correctly. When we talked to the manager, she said that the drawer gets stuck and they have to push the drawer in hard to get it to close. At that point, isn't that a sign to fix the sticky compartment?? - one of the flashlights was dying so it was difficult to properly complete one of the clues. - the set up of one of the clues is not clear, and once you mess it up, you're kind of screwed for the final clue. - The most unforgivable disappointment was that two of the props were switched. The wrong one was laid out, and the one meant to be laid out was locked away in a box, meaning the code was wrong, so we couldn't get the clue and the code made no sense. More detailed disappointments my group and I noticed but might be particular to just us: - no sound cues. Usually in all other escape rooms we've done, there's at least a sound that indicates that you got the clue, something opened, or a light turned on or off. If you're in 3 rooms at once with a small number of people (we only had 4), then it's extremely difficult to understand that one clue led to the next hint in a different room. - not all the clues are super relevant to the theme and felt kind of gimmicky, which was a bit of a bummer. - the game master didn't seem very enthusiastic. Part of the experience is to feel immersed in the situation, but being flatly explained what's going on (which we already read in the description) didn't feel like we were leaving behind the real world and entering into our story. - the walls are so thin! The walkie talkie to connect with the game master was dying/cutting out frequently, but we could actually hear them clearly through the walls. Additionally, we could hear their conversations and their laughter in all three rooms we were there. This place gets 2 stars instead of 1 because it doesn't seem like they made the story themselves, so they can't be blamed for the story itself. The game master read one of the keys for the clues to us from a manual, but couldn't explain more in depth because "that was all that was given in the packet." Also, the escape room game themes are pretty unique; I haven't ever seen or heard of a mafia escape room, so that was interesting. I can't really say I recommend this place, or maybe it's just this room. RIP my money.

What a fun experience for our WHOLE FAMILY!…read more We surprised the kids with a fun and not too difficult Escape Room - Summer Camp. Five in our family and we did the 45min version, which was just right for us. Our kiddos were 10yrs, 8yrs & 4yrs and each of them could help out and figure out some clues on their own. There were still clues they needed help with, but overall they were very involved. Each of the three rooms we accessed was lively, well planned out, and full of fun clues. The staff greeted us warmly and explained everything to the kids in a very understandable way and were very generous with the clues. We all had a wonderful time and would absolutely do another escape room here with the family.

4 of us did the Clue room, and I liked how the music playing fits the theme of the room, and how…read morethe setup makes references to the rooms in the classic Clue board game. Our group is pretty experienced at escape rooms, so we solved it in 35 minutes with zero hints. However, I would say the Clue room was objectively on the easier side for people with escape room experience. This logically makes sense because if Breakout is partnering with Clue to make this room, they're going to want people to complete it. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just end with this: I liked how the Clue room wasn't a completely linear progression in terms of tasks that needed to be accomplished. Certainly doable in a group of 2, but I'd recommend a group of 4. (And probably no more than 6)

We came here to celebrate a birthday this weekend and had a great time. Our game master (I believe…read morehis name was Sean?? Don't remember though, sadly) was funny and interactive and the room itself was one of the most realistic and non-prop-looking I've ever seen. We did Wong's Chinese and were impressed by the real story touches to the set. All the puzzles felt good to solve and we had the perfect amount of hints to snag what we never would've noticed. Having a group of 8 worked to our advantage, and we were able to score top of the leaderboard, which was also cool. I'd recommend this place. It's a bit hard to find in an office building, but nothing too crazy. Warning: I've heard the Pharaoh one is very hard!!

Not that spooky (great for me, a non-fan of horror) so if you want something truly scary this might not be the one for you. Our guide, Rob, made everything enjoyable.

He would also send us notes of affirmation as we progressed through the puzzle, and that kept morale high! Definitely will be back at some time soon; want to try the rest of the rooms!
