El Paso sits on the Mexico-United States border, across from Ciudad Juárez. Franklin Mountains State Park covers 24,000 acres, making it one of the largest urban parks in the United States. Folsom points found at Hueco Tanks suggest 10,000 to 12,000 years of human habitation in the area. Add an escape room to a day in the mountains or a night out in town, and you have a full El Paso plan.

Morbid State Asylum is not only one of the oldest asylums, but is reportedly one of the most abusive. Rumors say that there have been countless deaths from human experimentation, You have been wrongly committed into the asylum and the doctor has his eyes on you! You and your team must create a diversion and make a run for it!

Operation Outbreak

Asylum

Escape room

El Paso whispers of a restless spirit, La Llorona, the Weeping Woman. Maria, whose beauty was matched only by her sorrow. Driven by a jealous rage, she drowned her children in the Rio Grande, a desperate act she would soon regret. Now, her sorrowful wails echo through the night as she searches in vain for her lost children.  Trapped in an abandoned hacienda on the outskirts of El Paso, you stumble upon Maria’s tragic tale. The air is heavy with her despair, the walls whispering of her pain. Legend says she cannot find peace until her lost blue pendant necklace, a memento of her lost love, is returned to her. Solve the mysteries within these walls, find the necklace, and escape before La Llorona, driven to madness by grief, claims you as her own.

this room was great!! it gets a bit scary and there's some effects that spooked me but it was fun and i think the GM can accommodate if you seem too scared, they may lay off the effects. very good storyline and gameplay progression. atmosphere is just amazing and immersive.

La Llorona

Deep in the borderland, lies the secret lair of one of the world’s most ruthless cartels. As elite undercover DEA agents, you and your team have infiltrated this deadly organization, gathering critical intelligence to dismantle their operations. But now, your cover has been blown, and the cartel has taken you captive. Trapped in their hideout, you are separated and isolated, and the cartel’s enforcers are on their way back to finish what they started. Your only hope of survival lies in your ability to communicate through hidden messages and navigate the treacherous passages of this nightmarish bunker. Every second brings you closer to a deadly confrontation.

One of the best set designs I’ve experienced in an escape room so far! You can tell the room has seen some action, with a little wear from use, but honestly, it still looked beautifully designed and did an amazing job of keeping us immersed.

Teamwork and communication are absolutely key in this room. I loved how fully we got to lean into the whole “kidnapped by a drug cartel” experience—it definitely had us feeling like we were in a little high-stakes situation. 🧨 The puzzles were a great mix of fun, creative, and challenging without feeling frustrating.

Definitely a fun room and a great location! We had a blast and are already looking forward to breaking out of more rooms. 🔓

Cartel

A hired crew of artifact thieves crash land back in the depths of the jungle after a failed attempt to escape with stolen treasure! With a wrecked plane and unsettling feeling that you’ve disturbed the powers of the jungle until the ancient artifact is returned, battle your way back through the jungle and find the hidden Mayan Temple. Only when the artifact is returned to its rightful place and your crew has patched the plane’s communications device back together will you ever have a chance to radio for an emergency evacuation!

I love coming to this location to do escape rooms! This room was super on theme and lots of fun. We struggled a bit because we were overthinking some stuff, but the staff was so nice. They will nudge you along and encourage you without giving anything away. It really helped, but made us still feel accomplished. Really cool lock I’ve never seen before!! Loved it!!

Temple Of Doom

Step into the shoes of intrepid space explorers thrust into a high-stakes mission aboard a cutting-edge space station located in the mysterious Area 915, teetering on the brink of chaos.

As the airlocks hiss and flickering emergency lights cast an eerie glow, you and your team must navigate the treacherous aftermath of a devastating alien breach. The once-bustling space station now echoes with ominous silence, broken only by the distant hum of malfunctioning machinery and the occasional otherworldly growl.

Alien creatures, unleashed from their containment, roam freely, and the remnants of the crew’s desperate struggle for survival are scattered throughout the space station. With time ticking away and unlock hidden passages to reach the coveted escape pods.

Love all these rooms so far! We just did Area 915 (the alien room) and it was scary! I kept getting jump-scared all over this place. Loved it! Our Game Master was Arty and he was phenomenal! He helped nudge us along while still letting us figure the clues out. Just a fantastic experience again!
