The 15 best escape rooms in Austin

“This game was a lot of fun and our favorite for the day. There is a lot to do but it all makes sense and is intelligently done. There are some “Aha” moments that we had. It does get a little warm in there. Staff was great as usual.”

“We love this location and have done a handful of their rooms. This room was delightful! Some really fun and clever features. It definitely has a Pirates of the Caribbean vibe. Recommend for groups of at least 4.”

“As always, EHA put on an amazing show. Stop back in time and get ready to save the world. Someone made poor life choices, and you’ve an hour to put it all right. No pressure. This room is spooky, but not scary. We have done the Cabin multiple times, and that definitely had us more worked up in here, but don’t expect jump scares or live actors in this escape. The immersion is still the best in the business, though!”

“Escape Hour creates a high quality experience! From the moment that we entered the room, we were immersed in the story and characters. Sets and puzzles were excellent and really well integrated into the story (possibly the best that i have experienced). The staff was great at welcoming us and also great throughout the game. even in the ending when we did not escape, we were still immersed until we got completely out of the space.”

“Really really enjoyed this room. Much more up to par with the great rooms at Escape Hour. The Chapter 1 was honestly a disappointment compared to this and others. This one was awesome!! Our game master Miranda was terrific! From the jump she had us engaged and was very kind and helpful. Can’t wait to see if chapter 3 is as great as 2. I would honestly skip chapter 1 or just have lower expectations.”

“A great escape room and you can tell they really put a lot of effort into this. I recommend going into it without spoilers so I won’t say much. But if you’re looking for a good scare, any of their cabin escape rooms are great. But highly recommend any of their escape rooms in general.”

“Loved this room! Non-lock-and-key, unique puzzles with parallel gameplay. You should definitely play both the Tesla and Edison games separately. Doing Tesla first can be helpful because it's relatively (albeit just slightly) "easier" than Edison; it will get you into the rhythm of these rooms quicker. A group of 4 experienced players is ideal to tackle the parallel and challenging gameplay in pairs. Without giving anything way, we found it very helpful once we figured out which puzzles needed solving and which puzzles were complete. There is a signal and pattern that gets you in the groove. Observation and understanding the puzzles fully are important as their gameplay are relatively contained within their spaces. Our gamemaster was very attentive, following our game closely and providing perfect nudges to help us out. The background music was quite nice and gets you in the mood! Just keep in mind that you won't be interacting with all the pieces as the same space can be used for the Edison game.”

“This room was such a joy to do. The puzzles leaned heavier on the word play and the riddles - which I don’t see too much in other escape rooms. There were no weak points during our game play overall and the theme was great. For a room that does not have as much of a production value as others, this room stands out with the puzzles! Katy was our game master and they were so fun. Thank you for accommodating our request to do this room earlier so we can make it to our flight on time.”

“Really great room! It's a little awkward at first when the actor kinda just sits in the corner but once you interact with them more its really great. I could see your experience of this room being very dependent on how into the role play you get. If you aren't super into role play, you would probably think it's just ok, but we had a really good rapport with the actor in our room and that's really what made the room a great experience.”

“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.”

“Super interactive room with puzzle mechanics that tied in really well with the prison theme. Loved the creative transitions between rooms. Gave an immersive and cinematic feeling. Our game master, Spencer, was great and really added to the experience. Definitely a memorable one!”

“I’ve played almost all of the rooms at The Escape Game, and this one is one of my favorites. Although it’s listed as their easiest room, the sheer number of puzzles makes it a challenge if your group is the right size. We had a group of three experienced players and absolutely loved the pacing and difficulty. The puzzles were satisfying with a a few novel twists, and the theming was top notch (like almost all of The Escape Game’s other rooms). Overall, I’d rate this as an 8.5/10”

“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.”

“Our team was able to divide and conquer during the first half, then work together toward the end. The puzzles were clever and fun to solve. Joe was our game master and made our experience very smooth. Shoutout to Hailey, the general manager, for helping make our return visit smooth and special!”
