Da Vinci’s Challenge

Room was literally inescapable because one of the puzzles was broken, and wouldn’t activate even when the GM tried to do it. There were multiple other things that didn’t activate or open when they were supposed to, and we wouldn’t know how to access until the GM told us to bang on the puzzle when it wasn’t working. Speaking of the GM, because they had to watch 3 rooms at the same time, we barely got hints when we asked for them. And we definitely needed them, because this room is extremely hard, like 10% escape rate hard. In a frustrating way where the cluing isn’t clear, and the solutions are vague. You get 2 large books to read through that theoretically should help, but eh? Only thing I liked was the big set. I really wanted to enjoy this one, but this is one of those times where the customer service was so poor that we had to get a refund. This rarely happens. This room was a huge damper on an otherwise fun Texas trip. Horrible experience. We were very disappointed.

This was one challenging - appropriate for the theme! You are initially split into 2 chambers which sets the tone for the need to be able to work in non-linear/parallel gameplay. 4 experienced people is an ideal set up for this room. The puzzles had a good creative variety. Our gamemaster was involved in our success and alert to our progress.

This was a beautifully-designed room with some unique puzzles. Leonardo DaVinci-theme (as opposed to DaVinci Code). Most everything was era-appropriate (two key locks being the exception). Players begin in two separate rooms and some help is needed from the other room to merge the rooms. My only real complaint would be that one room solved their side much more quickly than the other side, which was a little frustrating (waiting). The introduction involved a live actor, which was fun. Very few rooms in the DFW area utilize live actors at all. Overall, a fun room with just enough challenge to make it really fun. Unique and era-appropriate puzzles were great. Will def go back to try more rooms at this company!

I wanted to love this room, but I didn’t. It’s definitely an expert level room, but it was hard to determine what you were supposed to do next. I wasn’t a fan of the acting bit. The room design is brilliant, but you definitely need more than an hour to enjoy it. I will go back and try other rooms for sure, but don’t start with this one.

Excellent! Well thought out puzzles that were engaging. There was only one lock in the room, everything else was puzzle locks. There were two separate rooms for your group members forcing you to work together but the separate rooms were still non linear puzzle solving. The quality of the decore and props was outstanding, even the paper props felt authentic. One of my favorite rooms now.

This is an incredibly well-decorated and themed room with almost no padlocks - just well thought out puzzles! We had 7 people and not everyone felt able to participate at all times so might have been better with less. Our game master Logan was great. This place has amazing production quality for their game trailers so I was a little surprised they needed a live introductory preamble to set the scene instead of a video but that’s ok, the room more than made up for it. Can’t wait to try out more of their rooms.

Amazing room, so beautifully designed. Room was on the more difficult end, so would not recommend this as a beginner room, but so enjoyable for any experienced escape room enthusiasts

Was told by the game master this is the hardest room in the DFW area and would have to agree. Was very challenging but pay off was worth it. Definitely need a larger group to complete, our group has 6 and I think this was the perfect number. Whole room was made in house and was beautiful! Super unique puzzles and no locks. Will be back to try their other rooms for sure.

This room was excellent. The set design was very well done and the puzzles were challenging throughout. Almost no padlocks, which a lot of rooms will lean on as a crutch to avoid designing good puzzles. This place was mechanical throughout. Larger groups definitely recommended. Easily a top 10 room I’ve done.

Room looks good but no locks everything is mechanically run including clues. Which is fine if you follow the flow but there wasn’t a good flow. So clues didn’t always make sense. Maybe more people would have helped so we could divide and conquer. Don’t accidentally press the button by the door (not lit or well marked) it will reset the entire room and you will end your game early.
