These trapped rooms are phenomenal!!! I had always wanted to experience these escape rooms that you must use your wit to figure out how to get escape and then i heard we had some in the valley and im so satisfied of the experience. It was everything i expected and more! It was exciting, riveting, nerve wreching, all the while i felt like a kid again! It felt as if we all were in a scene straight out of "Saw"! DEFINITELY something fantastic to do with the whole family and/or friends!!! read more

See all

I wish we would have had as great of an experience as all the other reviews. I did an Escape Room in Dallas and had a blast and was pleased to see there were some in the valley. I called the phone number on the website bc I had some questions and wanted to talk to someone, but the phone just kept ringing and no one answered. They called back a few min later but the caller ID was just someone's name so I didn't answer. The next day I went to the location in person and walked in, and no one was there. Like the lobby was empty and no one came out or said anything, it was really odd. I decided to just book a group on their discount day. We all showed up early to our time slot and just waited in the lobby for quite a while before anyone even came out to talk to us. Like, it was empty and they looked closed. The guy finally got us set up and ran through the rules, but it was very brief and didn't cover a ton. We finally got in the room, and starting solving stuff. I get the theme of the room is like a kidnapped dungeon but it was almost impossible to see anything it was so dark, and once we got into the next room in it there were flashlights but half of them didn't even work, so it was basically impossible to see or do anything. One of the locks basically froze after we put in our first attempt number, and they came over the speaker saying "Yeah it just reset itself, so you might have to wait 10 min for it to fully reset ‍" and basically told us we had to wait out the time bc the lock froze (which wasn't part of the game, just a bad lock). So we lost a ton of time on that, which was super frustrating because it wasn't our fault at all, we literally just had to wait for the actual digital lock mechanism to reset. We ended up running out of time partially bc we had to wait on the lock, but also bc the clues don't really go in any logical order so you kind of just end up working in circles until something works.On the website it says "the game masters will provide clues if you get stuck, after all we want you to have fun". That didn't happen. We did the Taken room and it was literally just all locks, not many puzzles or other things. And the end when time ran out, we didn't know what was going to happen, we didn't know if we were supposed to just stop, or see how long it would have taken to finish or even which way to exit. The girl working there basically just yelled into the room for us to come back the way we entered, she also basically scolded us for opening one of the props even though there wasn't a "do not touch/move" sticker on it, and it wasn't sealed in any way. It was extremely rude and condescending. On the last thing we were solving as time ran out they basically told us that we weren't supposed to move the certain set of props and that since we did the order of it was messed up now. But again there wasn't a "do not move/touch" sticker on it, and it wasn't sealed or attached or secured in any way (and we also couldn't see bc it was so dark, and the flashlights given to use were dead or dim). Once we made our way out of the room and were scolded by the girl working there, we collected our things and were all but kicked out. She basically just led us back to the lobby and rudely said " have a good night", and closed the door. There was no "congrats" or "nice try" or " come back and try again". There was no group picture taken, no offer to take one, no conversation to schedule another game, nothing. It was really off putting. I really wish we had a better time, but with the service we got, and the game play experience we had we probably won't be back to give it another try. read more

Decided to give this a try as an outing with some friends from work. I was very skeptical at first but curious because I had seen the movie escape room that had recently come out in the movies a couple of months ago. The entry fee was $25 per person upon arrival they make you sign a waiver and they explain to you the rules and instructions really well. They also ask the level of difficulty you prefer and what entails each level. They divide you up evenly depending on the room. There are four rooms: Outbreak, Mission Moscow, TAKEN and cell block X. Some rooms you start off blindfolded but we decided not to do that lol and went with Cell block X: Scenario was this: The year is 1954. You've been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to execution by the electric chair. While you wait on death row you start to find clues in your cell of previous wrongfully accused victims. Turns out the warden has been executing innocent people for the last few years. Can you escape before he puts you down like the other inmates? It was so thrilling and exciting we lost a lot of time on the first couple of rooms and the person that worked there did give us a couple of clues. However we didn't escape lol BUT it was extremely fun! I would highly recommend it! Definitely planning on going again! Staff member said they are working on doing other rooms! :) read more

Great backstories, props, puzzles, and customer service! Very unique amongst the ones I've gone to in my travels around the country. The workers/owner are full of passion for escape rooms and shared that with me and my family. I recommend anyone give these rooms a shot. Did Outbreak room, and it was a room that required a lot of teamwork, had tasteful red herrings, and had a great pace! read more

Came here with a friend. We previously tried a puzzle room in Orlando and really enjoyed it, so we decided to also give this one a try. In Orlando, the establishment grouped us with 5 other people and we escaped, but no one else signed up for our time slot here, so we took on the room on our own. We did the kidnaped scenario. The game master took pity on us, probably because we didn't have a group and had asked for a medium skill level game, and gave us clues throughout. But we still didn't make it out. Womp womp. We were on our last clue when time ran out. It was still really fun though. They take your picture and give you a sticker afterward. I plan to go back and do one of their other rooms, but I'll be sure to take an actual group next time around. It's more fun and feasible that way. read more

Trapped RGV Escape Rooms - Played it with a friend. We ran out of time on the last clue. - Escape Games Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This is my third experience in any kind of escape the room type of activity and it was my favorite. Though I may be biased because my team kind of rocked and we escaped with 3 minutes to spare. I had a blast figuring out a (pretty difficult) puzzle to get out of our room. Obviously I won't provide any spoilers, so my review ends here. Guess you'll just have to try it for yourself to learn the restttt.... (that was supposed to be a mysterious trailing off). read more

Highly recommend this place! It's a fun way to get your brain working. My friends and I have tried taken and cell block x and both were extremely fun. Would definitely do it again! We always have a blast and the staff is amazing! read more

I had never done something like this before. It was way better than I expected. Also, I never write reviews for ANYTHING. If you're considering going, I highly encourage you to do so. My work group completed both rooms and had a blast. There's loads of adrenaline and so many puzzles. It's worth the trip. Do it!!!! read more

Came here with a group of friends who had already done 1 room and signed us all up for a different room. It was so well thought out and just such a great time. Also Javi, the man who showed us the ropes and gave us all the info was so nice and informative. All in all it was such a great time. Definitely will return. Thanks RGV trapped!! read more

My boyfriend and two of my friends went to this escape room this past weekend and we had a blast! It was a great way to bond! We made it out of the room with 9 seconds to spare! The rooms really make you think and pushes you out of your comfort zone! We had an absolute blast and we will definitely be going back. I also like that they have discounts on Tuesdays. read more

A group of friends and I decided to do something different and we had an absolute blast! This is definitely a challenging experience, but worth it! read more

Tried this with my husband and another couple. We were paired with two other couples who happened to sign up for the same time slot as us. The 8 of us all worked as a team and were able to escape with a little over a minute to spare. We did the prison break room and all loved it. There is another room where they do a kidnapping scenario. My friends and I are definitely returning to do the other room. This room was a lot of fun and it helped to have eight different folks involved. I highly recommend this to people who like solving riddles, puzzles, and timed activities. You must be a team player. The activity is not physically demanding. It's more of a mind game. read more
