I liked the experience a lot! It was so much fun! It was my first experience ever! I’d definitely come back with more friends and family, the staff definitely had a lot to do with how things played out and they did such a wonderful job!

Gameplay

It was very fun! The staff explained everything very well beforehand, they were in character before we even went into the room itself, which added to the whole experience! I won’t spoil the rooms, but I was pretty scared and I screamed in the first room LOL! But it was so much fun! The puzzles were pretty challenging! The staff gave us hints if we asked/needed them but in character of course! 10/10 highly recommend!

Atmosphere

It was VERY immersive! And the puzzles were very good!

Customer service

Everyone was nice, and in character! When they broke character it was only to inform us that we could take a break if we needed to, they had water for us to drink if we needed, and if we needed a restroom break we could go at any time! Speaking of the restroom, it was very clean, they had a shelf if tampons and panty liners, an air freshener, and hand sanitizer, it was just a really nice/thoughtful bathroom.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

It was very interesting! Pretty scary, and the puzzles were challenging, but very do-able.

Story

My friend and I did The Cabin chapters 1-3 and they were so much fun! Scary but fun! The story and plot were very interesting! I heard they were expanding the story in other locations too, hopefully I get to go soon!

Difficulty

Hard

My friend and I did all 3 chapters in one day, chapter 1 was fairly easy, it took us a bit but we did it! Chapter 2 and 3 were a lot more challenging though, it took my friend and I a while to figure out some puzzles, but the staff would give us hints or send in an “entity” for some assistance, which I loved cause it added so much to the experience!

Game tech

High tech

I’d say a bit of both? They had lights and scary sounds playing throughout the rooms, it was such a fun experience!

Ideal number of players

4

I’d say a small to mid size group would be great for this particular experience since it’s “Horror” I feel like a big group might take away from the whole experience? I’m not so sure, but my small group of friends and I make like 4-5 total and I think that’s like the perfect number for this particular escape room.

Scary

Scary

I really enjoyed the room and the atmosphere, but I was definitely jumpy, I was scared to proceed at certain times cause I was scared something was gonna pop out at me or grab me! I was pretty scared! The actors did such a good job!

Minimum age

17

I think for this room you had to be 18+ cause it’s “Horror” and you have to sign a waiver, but yeah 16-17 is probably the youngest that should be allowed in, any younger I wouldn’t recommend.

Was anything broken?

No

Everything worked fine! The staff did a great job and explaining how everything works and if something didn’t work right to let them know immediately, but in my experience I had no need to, everything worked great!

Live actors

Yes

In the 3 chapters we met at least 3-4 actors.

Physically active

Somewhat

It was mostly walking back and fourth and bending down for certain puzzles, but at the end of each one, you had to “run” out or the “entities” will get you. But it’s not like running track or anything, more like jogging out of the rooms.

Accessibility

I’d say it’s accessible, there is one room, it was almost like a closet space and there was a puzzle behind the door, so that spot is not wheelchair accessible, but once the puzzle is solved and the other door opens then it’s no problem.

Easy to find location

Yes

Yes it was. They have 2 locations in Austin, or at least from what I saw, and they were right across the parking lot from each other.

Parking

Easy

My friend and I took an uber there so we didn’t have use for the parking lot, but the area is big and fairly new, I didn’t see any other businesses there so the parking lot was empty for the most part, but both sides where the locations were, there was plenty of parking.

SPOOKY!!!👻👻 I love a good scare, and this room delivered. It is an escape room must. We just completed chapter 1 and will be back to finish the story. Be ware once you complete one chapter, you are going to be hooked 🎣 to complete the rest.

Gameplay

OMG!! Best room ever!!! It was INtense. Even after the game, it stormed, and I felt I was still in the escape room. It had me peeking around corners.👀

Atmosphere

Chillls…chillls…chills. We were entering some parts of the room in a group.😬 No person left behind. The staff stayed in character and made the experience enjoyable and believable.

Customer service

Like 🤴 and👸🏻or should I say like paranormal investigators? Our GM was in character at the door and didn’t stop.

Particularly interesting or different

YES!!!! My mind was jumping here and there and everywhere. You need a keen eye and attention to detail if you are going to escape the cabin.

Story

The drama was high with this one. It felt like we were in a movie.

Ideal number of players

At least 3. The site used to make 3 for this room but has reduced to 2. I don’t know if we would have escaped with just 2 people.

Scary

💩👖

I have never been scared in an escape room until this one and loved every minute of it!

Minimum age

My 11 year old figured out some of the puzzles, but he was definitely a little scared at first. I played my cool and cracked some jokes to get him more comfortable, and he loved the gameplay. I would be more concerned with how well your child can handle the scare factor. Any child can do complete the puzzles if they are playing with a team who is willing to support them.

Was anything broken?

No

Live actors

Physically active

There was some climbing and crawling. At least 2 people in the party need to be able to climb and crawl. I had ankle surgery 4 weeks ago and was able to manage in my boot.

Need at least 2 people who are able to climb/crawl.

Thank you for the review of Chapter 1. We're glad the scares hit the right balance and that the experience was fun despite the final outcome. "Ctrl+Alt+DEFEATED" gave us a good laugh - we hope you'll come back soon for a rematch and see if you can escape next time!

Escape Hour creates a high quality experience! From the moment that we entered the room, we were immersed in the story and characters. Sets and puzzles were excellent and really well integrated into the story (possibly the best that i have experienced). The staff was great at welcoming us and also great throughout the game. even in the ending when we did not escape, we were still immersed until we got completely out of the space.

Easily the scariest and most immersive escape room of this genre that we’ve played. Our game master, Leigh, was in character from the moment we checked in till the final escape. Highly recommend this room , but be prepared since the room truly is “very scary”. Puzzles flowed well and game room setting is fully immersed. The game master attention to us and our experience made this room one of the best we’ve played. 10/10 👻💯

Thank you for the strong recommendation of Chapter 1. We're thrilled the immersion, puzzle flow, and game master support came together to create such a memorable experience. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Leigh. It’s great to know the room stood out as one of the best you've played, and we hope to see you again for more escapes.

Seen so many recommendations on Reddit that I had to come here. The cabin series is something that should be a Netflix series with so many amazing story elements. The set is professionally done and the puzzles are so much fun. I looked over my shoulder the entire time and even hid a few times. Can’t wait to make my way to Washington to do Cabin final chapter! Unless Escape Hour is bringing it here. Please Please bring it here :) 1000 stars.

Overall, another solid room by Escape Hour. I’ve done tons of escape rooms, but this was my first scary room that I had played. Although I think I would have enjoyed it more without the fear element, we still had a great time. There were a handful of very innovate puzzles, but even the traditional-style puzzles were still fun. Lots to explore, and the staff was incredible as always. There seemed to be less puzzles than I’d usually expect, but the pacing was good due to being slowed down by the lingering fear of a jump scare.
