The Crypt

For this hour long experience, my hubby and I finished with 10 minutes over but I would still consider this a successful mission. This room was meant for a group of 4-5 to do. With two people, we had to work really fast and I’m so grateful that we had the time to see how the whole story plays out. The puzzles were enjoyable although the journal was not as helpful as we were lead to believe (so keep that in mind). The tech was pretty cool and allowed us to be fully immersed into the environment. Finally, as a pro tip, there will be a lot more crawling and moving back and forth than your usual escape room - so just assign someone in your group who does not mind small spaces and could physically do those things. Overall, a solid room! Thank you Kelsey and Paige for accommodating our time change since we were driving from Houston to Austin just to do this escape room. We would love to come back and do the other rooms (especially the Cabin series)!!!

Packed with surprises and fun!! Highly, highly recommend. Tantalizing puzzles, immersive ambience, many "wow" moments, and a very good game master. The puzzles are of excellent variety and challenging (in a good way that makes you go "aha!") requiring a mix of thinking. It was a 70-min room (like their other rooms) but doable in 60. The gameplay is spiced with aspects of non-linearity, design unpredictability, and a very attentive game master who watches, hears and follows your progress with helpful nudges. A solid team of 4 would be great, but also doable with 2 experienced and adept players.

Any room at escape hour will not disappoint. This room takes at least one person who is able to crawl and climb and doesn’t mind small spaces. You have to be quick on your feet and have a keen mind to complete within the timeframe.

One of the more immersive rooms we have done. Very tough with only two people, but we managed to squeak by with some helpful hints. Unique and fun hint delivery system. Overall a really great room.

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.

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.

Super fun, great use of space! The room kept going on and on, and the puzzles were clever. Might be my favorite room!
