To this day, this is the best utilisation of space I've ever seen in an escape room. The actual square footage wasn't that big, but the room kept going and going. Usually, I like to be involved with every puzzle, but there was no way that was going to be possible with how much there was to do here. Atmosphere and theming were awesome though it was actually pretty cramped a lot of the time. Even if you attempted to do this with only 2 people, there are several sections that cannot accomodate multiple people at a time. The game master interaction system was quite fun. If I had to ding this room on anything, it would be that I didn't feel super engaged with the story/there wasn't really much of a storyline in general.

The somewhat lack of story is definitely the biggest flaw with this room.

I would say this is expert level if you try to do it with the minimum amount of people which I recommend for space reasons.

I recommend 3 STRONG players because the space is very small overall. If doing this group with a more intermdiate group, 5 would be a good number at the cost of being a bit cramped.

A fantastic room that really kept unfolding as we got deeper. Definitely 3 person minimum. A lot of crawling and climbing, so there are some accessibility issues. That aside, the set was stellar, the GM interaction was awesome, and the puzzles were just right.

super fun room, even if you don’t make it out! My group of 3 made it 70% through so having one or two more people would have definitely helped our chances!

Great concepts, a few of the clues are embedded within the room which always trip me up!

We absolutely loved every bit of this room! We didn't finish with 3 people, but one of our members was brand new to escape rooms. It was very large with multiple rooms and could honestly use around 4 people for the size. The staff was amazing and the experience was perfect even without escaping.

From the moment you enter the crypt to the end ( we didnt escape) was a very immersive experience. Just as you think you’ve hit the end, surprises just keep popping up. Overall one of the best experiences i have ever been to.
Gameplay
The puzzles were linear, however our group were able to work on 2-3 puzzles at once.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere was very immersive and some of the puzzles take you out of your comfort zone.
Customer service
The GM was really helpful.

Escape Hour was a bit of a trek from our hotel, especially in heavy Austin traffic, but worth the drive. Solid set design and unique puzzles. Bit of wear and tear on some props. Fun interactions. We only played The Crypt, but would have loved to have more time to check out their other experiences.

This was my 24th escape room and I think my favorite that I have done so far! I lived the high volume of puzzles and that there was a lot to do. It felt like a great room for 4 people, keeping all of us busy the whole time.
Gameplay
The flow of the game in this room was awesome. So many cool secrets to unlock!
Atmosphere
Super cool! Feels like you’re Indiana Jones.

The puzzles weren’t particularly hard, however, the volume of puzzles was higher than normal, so we needed almost the full 70 minutes to complete them all. I loved this. It made us feel like we really got our money’s worth for the room.
