“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.”

“Escape House Austin continues to deliver. A great fun pirate themed room with some unique puzzles I’ve never seen before. A good mix of tech and mechanical triggers. There are a lot of obvious things that are easy to overlook which make it fun. No spoilers, but make sure to look EVERYWHERE on this ship for clues. Sweeping the room again a few times we always found something we overlooked.”

“Unravel a dark, Lovecraftian mystery and strive to undo the horror currently menacing the world. Puzzle-heavy, excellent use of space, and a story that builds. Some parts may be difficult to access for folks with limited mobility. Our GM, Ky, was lovely!”

“Another absolute banger from Escape Hour - This room is best for larger groups and requires strong communication and trust if you want to escape. We experienced this game with 6 people and that felt like it was the perfect amount, however, I can see much larger groups participating in this room and still enjoying themselves. Puzzles are solid, and the environment is immersive.”

“I was called! Called in my dreams or in my nightmares I’m not quite sure. All I know is I answered. But once I took one step in I wished I was still in my bed. Safe from whatever the hell inhabited that damn house. 70 min I ran, 70 min I hid, and for 70 min I screamed my ass off. This was the most fun I’ve ever had. For anyone brave enough this is a must do! Just be sure to use the bathroom first.”

“Do not overlook this room! Two common escape room themes of Christmas and Trains, yet they have blended them into one of the more memorable times you'll have! Some of the puzzles we've never seen before and everything had a nice holiday Winter vibe. I think they even piped in cold air?”

“We do a lot of escape rooms spanning from low budget to high budget while this isn’t a high budget set like some of the national chains, the puzzles more than made up for it. They were clever and made in such a way that everything you needed was always in within reach if you pay attention. There also weren’t a lot of wasted props, everything you see pretty much gets used which makes it feel nice to have it all come together. Puzzles were linear enough to flow well, but not too linear that it’s boring. The theme also was on point. Other low budget sets are that way because they are just not designed well and the company never takes off, this company however is just new, and definitely going places so I look forward to seeing what they do with their next few rooms coming out soon”

“Very high production value, and some really unique puzzles compared to all of the other rooms we've done. But for our group, it was arguably too easy, as we got out in half the allotted time, and wished we'd slowed down to appreciate how fun everything was along the way.”

“This room was our first experience with high-production value escape rooms, and the one that got us hooked on them. While there are better rooms at this location, when evaluated in isolation, The Heist is still a very strong room.”

“Did this game with our family at midnight on New Year’s Eve, and since then, we’ve all had a great time telling people we were locked up for New Year’s. The experience is very immersive, with lots of interesting puzzles and other fun elements.”

“Did this one with a large group of newbies, and everyone absolutely loved it! As other reviews have noted, the non-linear nature of the game means that everyone can be working on something at the same time, so no one is ever bored, and if you get stuck on one puzzle, you can easily switch to working on another one. The set and story were also very immersive. This is a game that we would definitely do again, and either work on different puzzles (since there are so many different ones to choose from), or just nerf ourselves in general to have the chance to do it all over again with a new group.”

“Depths was an amazing experience with fun and unique puzzles and a great atmosphere. It has some pretty high tech elements that are simple to use and don't take away from the experience. I've found some high-tech elements to limit my enjoyment of the classic room experience, but this room integrates physical and digital puzzles and clues very well. The staff was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to finish their other rooms!”

“I thought this room was great! We solved with two people with 10 minutes to spare but the puzzles and the atmosphere were both very fun. A lot of enthusiasts complain “it’s too easy” “it’s too hard”. It’s a lot of fun, that’s all that matters. Best take on a time travel room I’ve seen so far. Probably my second favorite from TEG after playground.”

“Cosmic crisis was the most high-tech and unique experience my group and I have ever done! The tech eliminates most classic escape room puzzles and requires you to think on your feet to even identify the puzzles. The staff was amazing and I would most certainly play this room again!”

“Very well made, great theme, and so much fun. One of the initial puzzles was wonky and was hard at giving you the answer - but that was it. Everything was awesome. No locks, which I like, all theme related puzzles”
