The Wine VaultGrapevine EscapeEscape roomIRLThe room was ok, some clever puzzles and decent atmosphere. Though one of the keypads was not working and they interrupted our game play with many unrequested clues. However, the staff, while very friendly, was very overbearing. We arrived 10 minutes early for our room and then sat in the lobby being bombarded with rules and over explanation of the locks, and a meandering rambling explanation of the story. 25 minutes later we were finally led into the room. Once we were in the room we watched another video explaining the room rules and locks followed by a very poorly produced video intro of the room. I felt exhausted by the time we finally started. The staff was very friendly just not very professional. The 25 minutes of meandering exposition could be replaced with a 30 second rules video and a 60 second plot video. That should be more than enough to explain even to a beginner escape room patron. It was not all bad, they did have some nice touches. It was out friends birthday and she received a card from the staff.
Vampire SlayerBack In Time Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLVery well thought out puzzles and excellent atmosphere. There were no elements that took me out of the experience. The only thing I would say is that there should be more puzzles to give the plot a little more length. We were able to solve the entire thing in about 30 minutes.
Da Vinci’s ChallengeQuest Room - PlanoEscape roomIRLExcellent! Well thought out puzzles that were engaging. There was only one lock in the room, everything else was puzzle locks. There were two separate rooms for your group members forcing you to work together but the separate rooms were still non linear puzzle solving. The quality of the decore and props was outstanding, even the paper props felt authentic. One of my favorite rooms now.
A Knight to EscapeThe Escape EffectEscape roomIRLAn incredible experience. When I heard that it was a 2 hour long escape room I was worried that it would be too long or too confusing. I was wrong. There was not a single moment that I was not engaged and excited to solve the next puzzle. All of the puzzles were hands on and set up in a non linear fashion, but at the same time you had to work in tandem with the second team. The entire room decor was utilized in the puzzles and there were some very interesting and clever solutions. The 2 hour flew by. One tot the best rooms I have ever done.
