Have to say it was difficult. It was kind of sloppy and really didn't have like a starting point to work your way down the line. It was all over the place. Which isn't that much fun, might I add. It was very dark in there not much light. So many riddles to solve in such a small amount of time. It was a lot to take in at once. The host of our room might I add was very nice. We didn't ask for many clues, because we like to brainstorm and trying to figure it out without asking for too many clues. I would not likely return to do another room at this location. On to the next room!!

Pretty average escape room experience but located right in the middle of Deep Ellum. I don't see…read moremyself coming back here without another Groupon deal, but it certainly wasn't bad with the discount we had for a party of 8 on Groupon. The puzzles were quite creative and I really appreciated not having too many 'find the combo/key to this lock' puzzle, but some of the props/room seemed really worn and the workers at the escape room didn't seem all too stoked to help us out with clues or actively moderating the room.

We pre-booked our adventure and completed the waivers ahead of time, which made check-in incredibly…read moresmooth and quick which is always a great start to the experience. Each room is rated on a difficulty scale out of 10, and we chose the Budapest Express, which has an 8.5 rating. Once inside, we watched a couple of short introductory videos that set the scene, and then the timer began. We had one hour to solve a murder mystery involving five train passengers, all of whom were suspects. The setup immediately pulled us in and created a fun, immersive challenge right from the start. During the adventure, you work your way through a series of clever puzzles by collecting clues, cracking codes, and unlocking various mechanisms along the way. Every step feels interactive and keeps everyone engaged. If you ever find yourself stuck, there's a giant red button you can press to receive a clue, which is a nice touch that keeps the game moving without taking away from the challenge. There's also a bar on-site where you can grab refreshments before or after your game. It's family-friendly, offering a mix of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, along with a selection of alcoholic beverages for those who want to unwind. Overall, the experience was immersive, well-organized, and a lot of fun, and perfect for groups looking for something different, engaging, and memorable. We'll definitely be back to try another room!

This is by far one of the most intricate and immersive escape rooms my boyfriend and I have ever…read morebeen to... and we've gone to at least 10 now!

This was honestly really fun!! My work group came for a team building event and we had a blast! The…read moregames were easy to understand and were the kinds of games that you couldn't really study for or be naturally good at, so everyone had fun working together. The host and staff were very energetic and enthusiastic, which added to the fun.

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.

Not a fan of this particular escape room. A few things to note:…read more 1. Staff was nice but minimally trained and really struggled to run the room. 2. Much of the "challenge" of our room came from having to struggle to guess what clues went to what. All combination locks were four or five digit number locks and there were a substantial number of red herrings. Often, puzzles could not be solved without leaps of logic or re-using old clues. I would rather the difficulty have come from more puzzles than simply trying to confuse the players. 3. The room was quite small, even for four people, and yet could be booked for substantially more. Unfortunately, compared to other escape rooms, I don't find this one to be particularly good. Can't recommend.

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.

We did the Zombie themed escape room. We finished with a few minutes left, with a little help from Laurel. It's hard to review these because I don't want to give things away.
