One of the best I’ve been to in Austin there’s so much to do in this one and the theatrics and design were on point. Very well done and worth a detour for

Game master was excellent, and kept us moving through puzzles. This has been one our family’s top rooms - we really enjoyed The Crypt!!

One of the most involved rooms I’ve ever done. There was only one part I didn’t like. The part where everyone has to wait while one person solves a puzzle. That person for our group said it was the best escape room he’s ever done. Not just because of that one puzzle, but of the total experience. Definitely do this room, you won’t be sorry.

Something didn’t drop when it was supposed to, but they immediately told us and had us tap it and it came right out. So no harm no foul.

The Crypt was our second experience at Escape Hour and we loved every bit of it. The set design and use of space was incredible, and we felt like we were solving puzzles the entire time, never standing still. Although not a huge space, the gameplay forces communication in unique ways that led to an even better experience.

First things first, the standout element of this game is its physicality and use of space. You think it’s over and it just keeps going. There’s also a TON of puzzles in this game. You will not win if you don’t divide and conquer. Although a lot of the set is very clearly foam or wood, the rest of the experience completely makes up for it. This game is a ton of fun and anyone with enough people should try it.
Gameplay
Fun puzzles, but not very tied into the story or theme.
Atmosphere
Definitely looks makeshift in places, but the set is so elaborate and sprawling that it completely makes up for it.

This game uses space incredibly well, down to every foot.

Not very integrated into the experience, but it’s definitely crypt themed.

To this day, this is the best utilisation of space I've ever seen in an escape room. The actual square footage wasn't that big, but the room kept going and going. Usually, I like to be involved with every puzzle, but there was no way that was going to be possible with how much there was to do here. Atmosphere and theming were awesome though it was actually pretty cramped a lot of the time. Even if you attempted to do this with only 2 people, there are several sections that cannot accomodate multiple people at a time. The game master interaction system was quite fun. If I had to ding this room on anything, it would be that I didn't feel super engaged with the story/there wasn't really much of a storyline in general.

The somewhat lack of story is definitely the biggest flaw with this room.

I would say this is expert level if you try to do it with the minimum amount of people which I recommend for space reasons.

I recommend 3 STRONG players because the space is very small overall. If doing this group with a more intermdiate group, 5 would be a good number at the cost of being a bit cramped.

A fantastic room that really kept unfolding as we got deeper. Definitely 3 person minimum. A lot of crawling and climbing, so there are some accessibility issues. That aside, the set was stellar, the GM interaction was awesome, and the puzzles were just right.
