Xcape Adventures - Game Over


This was my first escape room and it got me hooked. This is one of the original escape rooms in the Dallas area.  I was quite surprised to find them in Mesquite which is not a central location.  Ellie and Fred had done one before and brought us along for this one.  I hear that they have decided not to stress the tie in with Pixels.  They mentioned that it was done in partnership with Sony.  I think that its a good idea to avoid pushing the tie in.  This one is still very creative and challenging anyway.
Price:$$20 per person
Theme:★★★This was a fun concept, but based on a movie (Pixels) that none of us had seen.
Quality:★★It is clear that a lot of effort was put into this, but it wasn't as well put together as some of the other rooms and a couple of puzzles took several tries as a result.
Difficulty:★★After having gone through more escape rooms since this one, I would put the difficulty of this one squarely in the middle. It wasn't the hardest but definitely had a few challenging puzzles in it.
Fun:★★★★We had a lot of fun in this room. It was bright and had challenges to make us think and was quite entertaining.
With:4 people Ellie, Evan, Fred, Judy
Outcome:Win
