5.00We had so much fun doing this outdoor escape room. It was much more difficult than I was expecting! However, we had our 7 and 8 year olds with us. Our 8-yo was really into it while we had to drag our 7-yo along, lol. Overall, would do another!!
Great fun!!!

5.00We live in Houston and this was a really fun deviation to normal life.. and it made me stop and look around the city and notice a few things i never have. The storyline is a bit silly but the puzzles and delivery of the story was top of the line professional. This is not a back-of-garage product. The whole adventure took us about three hours and that was with a couple beers along the way. The adventure kept us moving but the amount of walking was super reasonable, even in hot weather. I can’t wait to try out adventures in other cities too!!
Outdoor Family Fun

5.00It was fun - we did it with two adults and two older teens (17 & 18.5). We chose a beautiful Sunday afternoon to wander the city of Houston. Only one snag - the information for the 2nd clue was missing from the in-person venue. I asked for a hint and then had to ask for the answer on that one. The rest of the clues were just challenging enough to be fun, and we didn’t need any more hints. Our family loves solving puzzles and playing strategy board games. I loved how it had us wandering the streets of Houston - we saw quite a bit of beautiful street art in addition to the parts that you incorporated. We ran into another family doing the same thing at the same time as us (recognized their box when they were at one of the clues). I liked your commentary on the art/locations… I can’t remember what you called it on the website, but maybe call it a “Shout-Out” or something more obvious that you also offer a little look-and-learn commentary… I think you just called it “look,” “”look around,” or even “look-and-learn." Favorite part: I honestly loved that it had us traversing the outdoors in our own city in a different way. Maybe explain that more than one person can be scanning the codes and following the clues… that definitely helped. AND it was a great way to spend the day using technology to do things, but it not being the focus.
Awesome

5.00The escape game was great. We really liked the different puzzles and the material in the box. We had no technical problems and easily understood what we needed to do despite English not being our language. It was really great and we’ll definitely do it in another city like Austin or Dallas!
GO GET THIS KINDA FUN!!

5.00This was so fun! Very creative and the puzzles were challenging but not too challenging. I love how we found clues in real world spots and even the walking was the perfect amount. This was well thought out and fun- great job, creators🙂
Convenient to downtown and you can set your own pace

5.00We stayed downtown for a couple of Astros games and this scavenger hunt was super convenient. You can do it on your own pace and take breaks to eat or drink at the local restaurants and bars. It's about 10-15 blocks of easy walking and we got to see some cool places in the area that I hadn't visited, despite many trips to Houston. The puzzles were just the right difficulty and you can get free hints if you want them. I highly recommend this experience and would look for this company again.
Fun, even for younger kids!

5.00We took our kids, 12, 9, and 7. I worried about it being too hard and them ending up not having fun. That was NOT the case! We used more hints for some, but I think about half we were able to get on our own. When we finished they all said they’d had a great time and wished it had lasted longer. It took us 2.5 hours, we had beautiful weather, and would definitely recommend it!
