I've done several jail themed rooms, and this one was a bit different in how the split start setup. Had a lot of fun on this one. We didn't find it to be harder than chainsaw, but we do it 3rd after chainsaw and then Anubis, so we probably had a better feel for the style by that point. My son and I drove to Temple from San Antonio to do several of their rooms, and we had a great time. They have nice puzzle diversity, and there were never any leaps of faith needed to solve any of the puzzles. I appreciated the video screen flashing when you are 25%, 50% and 75% done. It helped us understand how we were pacing. The team was friendly, the facility and decor were good. I've done about 65 escape rooms over the last 18 months in San Antonio, Austin and Houston, and this was venue was actually one of my favorites. We'll be coming back to do their new rooms that are coming soon!

Thank you for spending the day with us and playing several of our rooms! We're glad you enjoyed our take on a jail-themed escape and that the split start helped make it feel a little different from others you've experienced. It's also great to hear that, by your third room, you had settled into our puzzle style and found the progression enjoyable. We really appreciate your kind words about our team, puzzle design, and progress indicators. After playing so many rooms across Texas, hearing that we're one of your favorite venues means a great deal to us. We look forward to welcoming you and your son back from San Antonio to experience the new rooms we're building.

This room is great for team building and working with others. The split start forces you to work together by communicating through a wall. We had a great time.

Solid room. Split up at the beginning is classic “jail” narrative. Well designed overall and everything flowed well.
