Escape The Room Dallas - Western Bank Heist


The room had a great theme and we were very excited going into the experience. There was a very mixed reaction in our group for this escape room - some of our group really had fun, and others really didn't. I think what was hardest is that while there was clearly plenty to keep us engaged the full hour, there wasn't much to keep all 10 people in the room engaged that whole time, which resulted in several times where I stood there watching someone else do something or someone else stared at me. So, it has potential but a might benefit from a more experienced/friendlier/professional room operator and fewer people in the room at once.

Price:$$$28 per person

Theme:★★★★The theme is fantastic - a great idea and very well implemented. You can tell that this was thought out and it definitely shows.

Quality:★★This was very well built, although there were a few things that fell off (just decor) while we were in the room. All the devices that you needed to play were in good enough order, although there are definitely things that could be changed to make this a better experience (which the room operator was not receptive to even pretending to listening to at the end and irritated another person in the room who offered it to her).

Difficulty:★★Overall, the puzzles themselves weren't that difficult once you read the directions and had three or four different people try them. There were a couple that, while not hard, were just neat and a surprise.

Fun:I would start with saying that some people in our group enjoyed this more than others. However, some things were so frustrating that it took away from the experience. There are some puzzles that were not clear, some were just unclear what happened after completing them, and a lot of time spent standing around doing nothing because only one or two people (in a group of 10) could be doing something and everyone else was waiting on them so we could get the next puzzle.

With:10 peopleBrodrick, Evan, Ellie, Fred, Jennifer, Judy (with four others)

Outcome:Win

Time Left:2:00
