This was amazing. It wasn't a typical escape room, as you weren't looking around for puzzles. They were all on the wall, but you encountered them as you went through the game. The puzzles were fantastic, and the story was fun. There is an actor in it, which I usually find to be cheesy or annoying, but it wasn't in this case. He's not there the whole time, but is good when he was. Absolutely loved it, and would highly recommend it.

So this is not an escape room. It does have some simple puzzles for you to solve, but not a lot, and that's not the reason that you should go. But you should go because it's very cool, and it does give you that sense of discovery that you get from escape rooms. If you want to go and just take some cool pictures or selfies, that's definitely an option. And that's what I thought it was before I went. But when I got there, I found that there was a whole story (multiple stories, in fact) to discover as you went around. I ended up staying for 4 hours, but wish I had started in the morning so I could have stayed all day. In those 4 hours, I didn't even get to the second floor because I got so caught up in it. There's a lot to see and experience, and if you like that discovery, then there's a TON for you to find. Pay the extra like $5 for the bloop card; it's worth it.

It's really neat being in a room specifically designed for two people. Great use of space in where they put it, and we had fun. You're "chained" to a chair facing opposite directions, and have to work together to find solutions. We had a great time.

I asked someone who has designed multiple escape room what his favorite room was, and he said this one. So I had to try it when I was in Dallas. It's very cool. There's lots of neat things to find, and the puzzles are innovative.

Extremely cool game. Lots of things to find and explore, good puzzles, well made. They said it was one of their older games, but it totally holds up.

Great room. Expansive, immersive, well-made, interesting, good story. They said that it's only in their Nashville location because it's too expensive to build out elsewhere. That lines up with what we experienced. Definitely worth trying out.

This is a cool, innovative room. It's set up as a competition between teams, which is different from most rooms. The design is neat with how new puzzles are revealed, and how you send and receive challenges between teams. Because it's competitive, you probably want more people than normal for the room. Two teams of 3 is probably ideal.

The production on this room is on par with one of the national escape room companies. Really great. Puzzle design was good, and the components and atmosphere was great. It's a large room with lots to discover. I'm used to doing rooms with just 2, and this one was too big for us. Our only failure to escape. But they offer a 50% discount on replays, so we went back to experience the last part of the room. I'd highly recommend a team of at least 4 for this one, even if you're used to doing rooms with 2.

This game has some of the best designed puzzles of any escape room I've played. They're well thought out, challenging, and work with the theme of the room. If you're in Austin, and are an escape room or puzzle enthusiast, then this is the room I recommend that you do. Hands down.

This is my favorite game at this location, it's also their hardest. I played this a few years ago (2021, I think?), and it's had some small updates since then. But it's pretty challenging, and you have to be on your toes during it, especially at the beginning. You start in adjoining rooms and have to go from there.
