Escape HQ Las Colinas - Corporation of DOOM


We decided to complete all of their rooms at this location (which is great and also kind of sad). I think of the three here, this was (sadly) my least favorite. I really blame hubby and myself for some of that, but there were things in the room that did not help with that. However, we had a good time, did a super cool puzzle (really - I wish I could share - but no spoilers - it was just so awesome).

Price:$$$35 per person (had coupon)

Theme:★★★Neat theme, and neat idea. I liked the progression of the story and the way it wrapped up at the end.

Quality:★★This was good, but at least one puzzle was almost impossible for us and required help because of our bad memories.

Difficulty:★★There were some hard things in here, not necessarily because they were hard, but because we kept jumping around and out of order and forgetting things we'd already done.

Fun:★★★There are some puzzles in here that made this extremely fun - I can honestly say I saw things that I've never seen in another escape to date.

The Escape Game Dallas - Prison Break

Evan and I had a fun July 4th weekend - including this fantastic start to a three escape room day. Of course, we did the best one first (you can see my comments on the others on the blog), so we were off to a very positive start. This room was AMAZING and set the bar high for the other ones. We loved this room - and while we had fun, having a few more people would have been extremely helpful.

Price:$$$34.63 per person

Theme:★★★★★This is amazing - it looks really good and every part of it is spot on. There is so much attention to detail it is just fantastic.

Quality:★★★★★Very well put together, and everything works so well. Even the littlest details are in perfect shape.

Difficulty:★★★★★To say this is hard is perhaps an understatement. Admittedly, we only had two people and parts would have been easier with more to help along the way.

Fun:★★★★★We had so much fun - we were both fully engaged the whole time and were each able to contribute in meaningful ways.

Escape Rooms HQ - End Run


This room was fun and we really cut it close for getting out - a great challenge. This was also fun because Evan previously worked with Enron in college as an intern, so there were some funny moments for us. This was just great, and the owner takes a real care in the quality of the room and the experience. Looking forward to more of their rooms - a really great experience.

Price:$$$$30 per person

Theme:★★★★★This was a fun theme and very well executed.

Quality:★★★★★Very well put together, with some challenges that really test your communication skills.

Difficulty:★★★★Definitely one of the trickier rooms we've done, complete with a puzzle that neither of us excels at but will be practicing.

Fun:★★★★★There was a lot of adrenaline and fun to be had.
