The HeistThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLThis was our least favorite escape experience during our Austin escape room trip. The first room was great and felt well planned, but the second room felt clunky and less intuitive. Cam and Camille were fantastic!! The staff MADE us a card to thank us for playing so many games during our trip! And that was incredible.
The CryptEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLThis was a really great room! I’m glad we got to do this on our trip to Austin for escape rooms. (We were very sad that The Cabin wasn’t open on Tuesdays because we were most excited about doing that series.)
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLThis was the best escape room we did in Austin. We came with the intent to do a bunch of rooms, and this was our favorite across the board! You start separated into two groups, so plan accordingly!
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLThis was great! I really enjoyed the story, but also think there could be more puzzles!
Dead Man's CoveEscape Hour AustinEscape roomIRLThis was so much fun! Game play was impeccable, but we would like more puzzles please!!
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - AustinEscape roomIRLIt was good- there was a large quantity of puzzles to solve. Nothing was too hard, just a lot to do- but also a very good variety.
Cash Me If You CanRed Door Escape Room - El PasoEscape roomIRLVery fun! Easy for a small group or newer puzzlers.

The SubmarineEscape the Room - AlbuquerqueEscape roomIRLReally good room! (One of the only ones at this location that doesn’t have broken elements) It is very difficult, but very good. A good variety of puzzles ranging from locks to computer controls!
BombshellNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLSO immersive! This room had an incredible story and the effects were amazing!! The puzzles weren’t too difficult, but the experience was a TON of fun!
The Cabin 2.0New Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLWe had so much fun!! The puzzles were varied and clever. The fear factors were also varied- visual, auditory, interactive, and a few jump scares. The size of this room is surprising and impressive, and the clues come in such creative ways! Ok - now THIS is my favorite room in town!
Duel at DuskNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLEven though this was one of the easier rooms we’ve done, there were still some really inventive puzzles to solve. Lots of teamwork involved! Very immersive storyline and atmosphere!
Blackwell ManorNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLOne of my favorite rooms in all of Albuquerque! The set feels huge. Much of the story is linear, and while I usually prefer a more open adventure, this one was extremely well crafted. While I love a scary escape room, this was only medium-scary - perfect to drag along friends who are a little more mainstream!
House Of Eternal Return [Immersive Art]Meow WolfEscape roomOther IMHO, this is the best Meow Wolf experience! As it’s the original, there’s a deeper flavor of experimentation and exploration than the other locations. I’m sure much of that has to do with the smaller volume of people who go through Santa Fe, as opposed to the other cities. The concert venue is phenomenal- and I will ALWAYS make a point to see Beats Antique there, as they utilize the entire installation for a magical pre-show experience!
Escape JumanjiBust Out Escape Room - PaseoEscape roomIRLOne of the best I’ve done! Very immersive! The atmosphere was perfect and varied to align with different parts of the story. If you’ve ever wanted to actually play Jumanji, this is the closest you’ll get!
Omega Mart [Immersive Art]Meow WolfEscape roomOther I wouldn’t classify any of the Meow Wolf experiences as “escape rooms”; however, there ARE plenty of mysteries to solve and secret passages to discover! While “House of Eternal Return” is, IMHO, the best of them, Omega Mart is a very close second! While it feels more sterile, the storyline is more cohesive and engaging. Absolutely brilliant!
Nefertari's TombNew Mexico Escape Room - McLeod LocationEscape roomIRLWe go to escape rooms for the variety of puzzles, not just to translate. Almost all the puzzles rely on transliteration, not cleverness. Also, we were somewhat uncomfortable by the idea that we were playing grave robbers (who are directed by a German-sounding man wearing a vaguely military-styled uniform). 😬
The DigEscape the Room - AlbuquerqueEscape roomIRLThis was a lot of fun! There was a good variety of puzzles. We hated the slide puzzle, but we actually solved the corresponding puzzle without it.
Western Bank HeistEscape the Room - AlbuquerqueEscape roomIRLWe had a really fun time; however, this company will absolutely cram different groups of players together. Working with unfamiliar teammates was probably a bigger challenge than many of the puzzles.
