THE ENDings [Immersive Experience]Strange Bird ImmersiveEscape roomOther So happy to experience another immersive story (or rather, stories) from Strange Bird Immersive. Just love what they do. This one is ending this weekend, but it was a blast. Repeatable - lots to do and explore. Think Meow Wolf, but with more linear stories. Glad I made it before it closed!
Murder, PreservedGrapevine EscapeEscape roomOther Pop upSuch a great experience! Combination murder mystery dinner and escape room adventure. The mystery experience was well-plotted and well-clued. The escape experience was well-designed with some fun and challenging puzzles. Fantastic creative design, as always, by Russell and Amber! Plus, we (The Seekers) won! Woohoo!!
The BooMont Hotel [Immersive Experience]BaymoEscape roomOther Really enjoyed this pop-up experience. Located inside the Dallas Galleria, the BooMont Hotel is a sixty-minute experience somewhere between a haunted house and immersive experience. When you check-in, you will receive your room key and a small glass of champagne (I was there on “adult night” - this may not happen every night). You’ll hang out in the lobby for a few mins, get the back story on the hotel, and then the elevator operator will come and escort you to the 13th floor. All sorts of spooky (and fun) experiences await! This experience was similar to a smaller version of Meow Wolf, but with a definite mystery to solve. When you decide to leave, you’ll have to make a decision. Decide correctly and everyone is happy ever after. Choose the wrong one and….well, I don’t know what happens, because I chose the correct one!!! Good for small groups - everyone I saw was either solo or a couple. Public, with entry times spread out to minimize crowding. This was the company’s first time with this experience, but they have done others (including Snowday). I enjoyed it and though it was well-done. You can invest a lot or a little to the mystery itself, but the sets and scenery alone are worth the price of admission!
