    This place is humongous! Great for a large party. Spacious inside and a nice outside area with corn…read morehole. The main door is at the back of the building so I recommend parking in the back. Games to play indoors like darts and axe throwing. We came here to eat, did not participate in any games. Several TVs to watch a game and they will change the channel if requested. If you plan on ordering alcohol, you need to show your id at the front before being seated then they give you a wrist band. The beer wall is self serve with numerous choices. You have to provide a credit card then you swipe a beer card for every pour which charges you by the ounce. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Numerous people will check on you. The food was decent. Sandwiches are big and messy. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries which are crinkle cut. I ordered a French 75 cocktail, a simple classic - it was NOT good. It lacked bubbles and was missing the classic lemon twist. They need training from an experienced mixologist. Bathroom was big and nice but very dark in the stalls.

    Say it isn't so, I heard they're closing their doors and the escape room is moving to kileen?…read moreHarker Heights doesn't seem to have enough foot traffic for this place to accommodate their overhead costs. I split a burger and fries with the hubby for a ceremony after work, and honestly the food was ok. The employees were not bad. I didn't even get to play any games so im a little bummed. I hope they can find a new venue. But HH definitely needs more fun outing places like this

    We went here on a Monday when our district didn't have school. It was a little bit more crowded…read morethan I thought it would be. We got there around 1pm. It did clear out around 3pm. The workers varied from really nice and helpful to grumpy and appearing to hate their jobs. The place in general is a money pit, but I think you know that going into it. We happened to get in on a BOGO special. Otherwise the price seems crazy high. The roller coaster was one activity that seemed to be running very inefficient. It took forever for them to load the carts. They did jump workers around to different activities so everything isn't always open and the times posted didn't actually match up to when they were open.

    After dinner, my buddy and I decided to go into Tom Foolery just to check out their arcade game…read moreselection. That's when we found out that for $30 you could get one hour of free play on non ticketed games. We bought one card and were able to play the Walking Dead rail shooter, the entire campaign of the Halo rail shooter, and some Cruisin' to wrap up the night. It was a Friday night, so they were pretty busy but it's such a huge arcade that it really never is a problem. The staff were all super nice and made me feel welcomed. There is a pretty great selection of games at Tom Foolery. I do wish they had an NBA Jam style arcade machine or more "mature" games like Halo and Walking Dead, but beggars can't be choosers. If you've ever wanted to just be a guy and run through full arcade game campaigns, the Tom's Power Hour deal is absolutely worth it. I will be back one day to beat the Jurassic Park campaign.

    We had an amazing time at The Escape Game in Austin! TLDR: Highly recommend - You should play!!…read moreStaff were fantastic!! Toby was a very friendly and genuine game guide that made us feel great about our accomplishments and CJ was an awesome and generous host that got us hyped and left us feeling elated. I was visiting from The Bay Area, California for my birthday, and we decided to play The Heist. There were 5 of us, and 4 had played escape rooms before (not at this company). The room design was awesome, very intricate and detailed, and the puzzles were really well done and very fun (Zelda Ocarina of Time vibes in one puzzle). It had plenty of things for us to do and find solo, and then still come together to solve the puzzles as a group. We smoked it, escaping with over 20 minutes left, with no clues, so we were ecstatic! We got out of the room and much to my surprise they made me a hand-drawn birthday card!! So incredibly sweet, and totally made my day. Coming off of our high of escaping The Heist, we decided to try their hardest room, Prison Break (with a discount for playing same day!). We were split into two cells at first, which proved difficult because we weren't communicating as well as we should have been. We needed a little bit of guidance in the beginning, but once we were out of the cells we started working better as a whole team. The final room was my favorite, I completed a really cool chess puzzle and then there was a detailed bookcase one too that I managed to figure out! I personally felt very accomplished in this room and we managed to escape with around 7 minutes left! Overall, these rooms are meticulously designed and sets were immersive. The puzzles were clever and made you feel very smart when you figured them out, which made the rooms that much more fun. They really focus on teamwork, which amplifies the connection and good vibes of your friends and family. Guidance was kind and not overbearing, allowing you to struggle on your own before gently nudging you towards what was blatantly obvious in hindsight. You can tell that the staff there have a unique bond and really enjoy making the guests feel special. They made my birthday a super memorable one and I'm so happy I decided to come here. Please check them out, you'll be glad you did. My birthday was the bestest because of you all! Thank you so much Toby and CJ!!

    We came here to celebrate a work team event and we had a blast. Such a nice experience, we had so…read moremuch fun playing "the playground". The place is great and well equipped with everything you need to escape the rooms the people in charge explained everything about the game and how it works. There's parking around the area and restaurants close by. We will definitely come back to play another game!

    We've done a lot of escape rooms over the years, and Escape Hour is hands-down the absolute best…read more We've completed The Crypt, Call of the Ancient, Baker Street Mystery, The Cabin: Chapter 1, and Hijacked: The Holiday Express -- and every single room was incredible. The detail, immersion, puzzles, and storytelling are on another level. The Crypt was our favorite -- the atmosphere was amazing and the puzzles were so well designed. We also loved the storyline of The Cabin, but fair warning: it is very scary! What really stood out was how accommodating they were. Since we had previously done Cabin Chapter 2 with actors, we asked to tone it down this time and remove the actors -- and they were awesome about customizing the experience so it was still immersive but comfortable for us. That flexibility made such a difference. Huge shoutout to our game masters Kai, Paige, and Alexis -- they made every experience so much fun and kept the energy high. And Lia was fantastic with bookings and explaining the Cabin storyline. You can tell this team truly cares about creating an unforgettable experience. If you're in Austin and love escape rooms, this is a MUST. We can't recommend Escape Hour enough! Jamie and Nick

    Where do I even start? If you want to do an exhilarating Escape Room, this is the place to do it!…read moreThey take escape rooms to the next level. However, I can only speak for Cabin Part 1. I was worried that this escape room would be too scary for me, which it DEFINITELY was, but at least I was proud of myself for participating in it. I learned a lot about myself, including how I would react in situations when I'm just scared to death. It's not great, but hey, at least I know. Our game host, Miranda, was amazing. Everyone who we've interacted stayed in character and it just made the experience that much more fun and engaging. I highly recommend for you to experience it yourself. You can also ask them to "tone down" the scary rooms if you are worried. The Cabin Rooms are a combo of escape room puzzles with a twist of haunted house theme. I went in as a group of 4 and I that was a good size since some rooms could be small. Fun but may not be for everyone. I am interested in trying out their other escape rooms, too.
