The Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch EscapesEscape roomOther This isn't the kind of room where you "escape"... this is an interactive story with some puzzle elements. It's all about production design and set design... and acting. The story is told mostly through audio, though you also have to figure out a few challenges here and there to get to the whole story. Without giving too much away, by the time we were done, my whole family was in tears with how beautiful this experience is. By far one of our favorite "escape room" experiences ever. Completely immersive, very interactive, very beautiful.
Drago's Castle5 Wits - ArlingtonEscape roomOther This room is more of an interactive story than a true escape room. It's quite fun. There's a set amount of time that you can use for each of the puzzles, and if you spend too long, the voice over says "I'll open this for you" (or something along those lines) and ushers you forward so you don't miss out on the rest of the story. It was incredibly child friendly, though there was one moment of "scary" at the end.
LollylandPalace GamesEscape roomOther This isn't exactly the kind of game that you "escape" from. It's interactive, tech-heavy mini-golf. I can see how this might be expanded upon for more holes and for a longer, more interesting experience. It's a cross between mini-golf and an arcade. We went in for the beta before it opened to the public, and it was really good. There were a few things I might have changed up, but all in all a good experience. I think they'll work out a lot of the kinks as time goes by. I would recommend anyone bring layers-- it's cold in there!-- and expect some wait. They were running 30 minutes late by the time we got there for our Tee Time.
