We did the Rosewood Manor Room. We really enjoyed doing this room. We did need a few clues, but we were able to escape. I def recommend looking for all moveable things and look for anything out of place. Will def be back! read more

Booked a group event here, staff was more than willing to accommodate us and we all had a great time. This was my first time ever doing an escape room and the whole group enjoyed it a lot. read more

The games are designed quite well for fun more so than to be a mystery to be solved. It makes for an entertaining team-building event.

Lots of fun! The room and clues are well thought out, witty and fun! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go again! read more

This was extremely fun for everyone. I have gone here twice and both times were fun. I plan on trying each room out. read more

This was super awesome and fun. It was easy to make an appointment and check in. But the best part was the experience. We did "Treasure Island" and it was so creative and clever. It was filled with great props, lights and sounds. A lot of hands-on things to solve and unexpected twists. We had a great time. read more

Booked the room the morning of, and was able to utilize my military discount as well. I always want to appreciate businesses that look out for the military. It may seem small but from a veteran, and a military spouse, with children who have also served alongside their parents, it matters! We were greeted by friendly staff, and met with patience when a couple of our children got anxious during the detailed explanation before starting. We even had a kid try to creatively open a box. The screen with our tips was also useful to tell us what not to do thy wasn't covered in the orientation. I liked the television clues, the sounds to alert you when info was coming in (although after a while it got a little annoying), and the fun signs we got to pick from at the end. Would DEFINITELY recommend this business. Family friendly and lots of fun! read more

Great Escape of Central Texas - The room we chose was quite a challenge, but we had a blast! - Escape Games Near Me - Killeen, Texas

The escape room experience was great. Lots of fun. The puzzles were harder thanI expected.I definitely will return.

I went for Father's Day and had a great time with my family. The room was very crafty and the staff was resourceful and helpful. It was $25 per person for the hour and you get your money's worth. We didn't win but we definitely had a great time. read more

My team are hooked and so am i. I cant go into detail or i would give secrets away, but this is perfect for team building amd would be an awesome date night. Go check them out read more

Great staff, the rooms have quality props and the puzzles can be relatively simple or challenging. This is a fun place for group of friend or family. I have done three rooms and all have been great. read more

This was my first escape room, and it made me want to go again! We did the Mafia Boss one. We didn't complete it sadly (it was the hardest level) but it was a lot of fun. The customer service is really good. Definitely recommend for family time, date night, or fun with friends! read more

We almost escaped from the 'Lost Tomb of Anubis' and this adventure was amazing to share with my husband. This is an excellent experience for anyone who wants a great time. We had fun and definitely plan on doing it again. From beginning to the end this place was fantastic. We will be back. We had a blast. read more

So much fun!!!! I was nervous to go at first but so glad I went. The employees were so nice and helpful. I went with a group of three, and we did the bank. Pissed we didn't finish, but we were so close haha. It really makes you think. Will definitely be going back. P.s. Don't over think it. read more

this place is amazing! i left so happy and had so much fun. they have a great variety of rooms to explore, the hints are great and unlimited if youre struggling. the owners are so nice and they really know what they are doing. by far my favorite escape room ive ever been to. please check them out! read more

This is by far my favorite escape room location! The staff is so friendly and the rooms are AMAZING. They go all out on the decorations and really makes the game feel real. The puzzles are awesome and tie into each other very well. I've done at least 5 different rooms at this location and all have been amazing, they change out rooms often so there's always new rooms to try. Very immersive, for example the Lost Tomb of Anubis room the whole floor was covered in sand, it really felt like we were in a tomb. $25 per person for an hour seems like a lot but it is worth it, if you're looking for an escape room you should definitely come to this one! read more

My wife and I have done 80ish or so escape rooms with very little losses. We aren't experts. We just do it as a hobby all over the country. We struggle just like anyone else on some rooms. But after 80ish we feel comfortable in determining what rooms are good and which are trash. We generally judge rooms on stories, logic in puzzles, fun, and production value (like how quality the props and ambiance is). We are local to CTX and feel that this is your best bet anywhere local by FAR. The owners are absolutely fantastic. The rooms are well put together and logical. We have done all of their rooms, and were pretty far up on the all time leader board for the enigma room they no longer have and now the asylum room. We have done all of their rooms and enjoyed them all immensely. The owner is so awesome, and definitely listens to customers. We did struggle with one puzzle in one of the rooms which was a dexterity issue mainly. The owner actually ended up changing the puzzle slightly. I won't give it away but what I'm saying is if we were being absolutely nit picky, we have only ever found one MINOR issue out of the hundreds of puzzles and it was adjusted. Contrast that with the room we just did at Waco Escape Rooms where the game master said the final puzzle has never been solved without a clue. No adjustment. Silly. Anyhow, I would come back for this room any time they get a new room. They have a holiday one that's replacing the cabin actually which we will be at the week it opens! read more

We have probably done about 10 escape rooms at this location and we've always had a great time - the clues do lead you do in a logical way to find the next clue. This makes these rooms particularly fun - the staff is amazing - we always look forward to see them. Reasonably priced and a great way to do something different and have fun. read more

See all

This place was great. I was very impressed when kids were allowed to participate. Usually escape rooms only allow older children but the staff were great at including my 1 and 7 year old. The youngest had fun sitting in the theme room and picking up some props. And my oldest was able to help us with some of the clues and puzzles. My parents came with us too, and they had fun too. The prices were super reasonable for an hour of fun so we're going back tonight for round two! read more

This was our first time doing an escape room and we had an absolute blast! The ladies working here are so great and very laid back and helpful. Get there a few minutes early to go over directions if you haven't been before. You have an hour to figure out all the clues. Work as a team! That's a huge must. Don't overthink it and, as one of the employees said, say everything out loud! No one can read your mind and it makes it harder to solve the puzzles if you don't communicate. We will definitely be going back again asap! read more

We booked this place a few hours before and accidentally booked the wrong location. They wouldn't refund a mistake. Bad customer service.

Had a great time, the rooms were decorated so well like a movie set, exceeded my expectations.

Me and my wife love this place, we just played the newest room the other day and it was great. We've done almost every room here except clue but we're definitely gonna do that one next if we can find a bunch of friends to go so we aren't pushed around by a larger group that know each other. Thank you for so many wonderful memories with my spouse and a few of our friends as well. Here's this meme I created that perfectly describes how it feels to be so close yet so far from completing rooms read more

12 year olds and adults enjoyed the Clue Rm. Room was amazing. Had a blast. Absolutely recommend. Staff was so patient and helpful. Can't wait to come back!!!!! Update: we've been back a total of 3 times now. Can't get enough. Retired parents even had a blast. Fun for all ages! Highly recommend. read more

Great experience! We've been there twice and I was a lot of fun! The puzzles were difficult, but doable and they are great with the clues. Definitely going back to try more rooms! read more

Had so much fun and the kids really enjoyed it ! We went inside the Harry Potter themed room and it was pretty awesome lots of puzzles . We played with random people but we had so much fun together . Definitely would go back . read more

Yes! This was a lot of fun! We will be back again. The puzzles were well thought and amazed us. My husband and I had so much fun with strangers :) they were pretty awesome couple too and we escaped the room by working together and solving puzzles! Amazing! I recommend this to everyone who likes games. We did the Harry Potter. Next we will try Clue. read more

This was my families first escape room. It was Soo much fun. The staff was super nice and the escape room was awesome!! Thanks

Great Escape of Central Texas was a great venue for our recent company Team Bonding Event! They accommodated our group of 30 seamlessly! This was my third escape room with them and each time it's been a great experience. The rooms are creative and fun and the puzzles are tough! Definitely will be going back! read more

Go for hints! Humble yourself. Awesome and challenging. Staff was great Fun. Everyone can contribute.

The escape room on its own was okay, however the the service was poor. The man at the front ( probably owner) is rude. I felt disrespected and will NEVER go back. read more

Since this was my first escape room experience, I wasn't sure what to expect. My daughter had been to others in Austin, but not this one in Killeen. We arrived to a small but welcoming waiting room that displayed percentage success for others who had attempted the rooms here. We chose the Haunted Manor. Michelle was fantastic, explained everything in detail to us (and 3 strangers, who felt like friends when we left) and the 5 of us were 'locked in'. I use quotes because you are not actually locked and can leave at any time. The room was smaller than I thought, but just about fits 5 adults without too much trouble. We soon started working as a team and ALMOST made it out. Probably another 5 minutes would have seen us escape, but the clues are well placed and you do get assistance when needed. After the experience, a group photo is taken (along with witty captions to hold) and published on the company website. We loved every minute and will be returning to check out the other rooms. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This is a great place to go on a rainy day. Or any day really! Super fun. Makes you think. Live the new building they are in, they have a new way to give you clues. It's just a super fun place to get you brain working. read more

Great Escape of Central Texas - We conquered the saloon room. It almost defeated us, but we found the gold just in time!! - Escape Games Near Me - Killeen, Texas

We went with a group of friends and had a great time. We did the Harry Potter room and they recreated the train car so well. So much fun!

Awesome day loved it so much funn was worried it would be lame but awesome theme and wonderful people

Really good pricing and was so much fun. Before we knew it, the hour was gone. Really attentive employees and we plan on doing it again soon! This is definitely a great gem hidden in Killeen and was just awesome. read more

Super fun time!!! We took a group of 10 to escape the "Bomb Room". Everyone had such a fun time! We had 5 adults, 3 teens and 2 kids (9 & 10 yes). Everyone was able to help! Charles, the owner, is so hospitable and was extremely patient with us, while we were using our clues!! His passion for making this a great experience for everyone is abundantly clear. This is a locally owned and operated business, and they deserve the recognition! Don't wait, book an escape room for a super fun time!! Bring your thinking caps!!! You will be challenged! read more

Great Escape of Central Texas - Made it out of the "Bomb Room" with 11 SECONDS to spare!!!! What a great time!!! - Escape Games Near Me - Killeen, Texas

First time at this location, but third time I've done an escape game. Did the 8th Horcrux with a group of 9 and had a blast. It's a Harry Potter themed game but good for those unfamiliar with the story too. Relatively hard for us but we powered through. The game was fun but I will say the wand spell puzzle really was not put together that well, I rarely ended up where I thought I should be so I guessed a lot and it took awhile. I will say I like the little intro videos that they give you in Austin that kind of explain the goal, I wish they incorporated those here. I would definitely play again though and it's great fun for a group for sure. read more

My younger niece and her husband were in town for the holiday and invited me to the great escape room. Apparently, they have done this multiple times in Ohio, but this was a 1st for me. I was scared and excited all at the same time. We chose to do the saw adventure. They went over the rules which were understood, this is a puzzle game and some of the things are not very easy to figure out. We were able to get a pipe put together and tried to retrieve a key that was hanging above our heads. Instead of them coming over the loud speaker to tell us that we were doing it incorrectly a gentleman BUSTED through the door during our escape session and went off on all of us. I didn't entertain the thought at the time as everything was confusing being in the middle of a puzzle and someone bursting through the door with such temperament (our clock was still running). When we finally made it to the other room. I could hear someone cursing loudly outside of the door and just thought that it was a patron who might have been upset because they couldn't figure their puzzle out. After, we escaped with 18 minutes to spare yay us!!! They took us into a hallway to take our picture. ONCE again I hear some yelling and cursing at the top of their lungs along with banging on a desk. After, inquiring what was going on because by now this is upsetting to me I found out it's the manager Charles. In what world is it ok for a MANAGER to act this way in front of patrons ( I guess he forgot WE are the reason HE has a job)??? Long story short people go here for fun which it was but this experience should not have been tainted with such immaturity and non professionalism. Grant it the other staff were great no issues and the game was fun but thanks to Charles this is the only memory I'm walking away with. IF I ever go back I'll ensure to call ahead to make sure he is off!!!! With all the crap we have going on in the world today this was supposed to be a fun outlet and we NEVER should have subjected to his mess save it for when y'all are closed!!! I addressed the issue with y'all before I left the premises and told you I'd be writing this review no one (not even Charles) felt the need to apologize for your mannerisms so theres no need to even respond to this posting!!!! Get it together Charles I'm born and raised in this town we don't have much to do here don't ruin this place.... I rated 4 stars because it was a good time. Charles gets 0 stars. If management sees this post Charles needs people skills training or get him a representative and stop allowing him to be around patrons JUST SAD.... read more

We're well seasoned escape gamers having played all over Texas and our group all agreed that Great Escape of Central Texas is awesome. We played 8th Horcrux and Cell Block 9. Both games were well thought out and great fun. Being Harry Potter fans, 8th Horcrux is definitely one of our favorites of the games we've played. It included a lot of fun surprises and plenty of puzzles to keep us busy. Cell Block 9 challenged our communication skills and was exciting when we escaped jail! We're looking forward to returning to play more rooms. read more
