Ultimate Escape Game Dallas - Hackers

This was our first room at Ultimate Escape Game Dallas and one of the reasons we've kept going back. This is a great location and there is plenty nearby to grab dinner before or after doing a room. The team that gets you ready gives you a good intro, but not so long that you wish it were over, then you get two videos starring a guy with creepy hair when you enter the room. One goes over rules in general and is short; the other is also short and discusses your scenario and what you need to escape at the end (all of their rooms have something like this). There were a lot of fun things in this room that honestly were a bit distracting as we wanted to play with them, but didn't keep us from our goal. Also, there were puzzles to cater to each of our strengths, although Ellie was a rock star and got quite a few of these before we had all of the info due to her super-sleuthing abilities.

Price:$$$28 per person

Theme:★★There was a theme, but some of the parts seemed inconsistent and maybe better in a different story.

Quality:★★★★Everything in here worked well - we've been in other rooms with a few similar challenges where they didn't work, and they were all good here.

Difficulty:★★There was some challenge, but a lot of these played on Ellie's strengths so we were able to solve some very quickly.

Fun:★★This was enjoyable but some of the inconsistencies in the theme distracted.

With:4 peopleEllie, Evan, Fred, Judy

Outcome:Win
