Exit Plan - Safe House

I am writing this a little retroactively, but one of the things about this one is I don't really remember liking or disliking it. I do remember that some of the puzzles were interesting, but many of the things in there we got through quickly because we'd seen it before. We even made it to the end fairly quickly, and would have been more so if you didn't have to put the same code into two different locks. And then we may not have blown up at the end if we'd made the right choice on the final puzzle (we had the answer but listened to something in the intro video instead).

Price:$$$29 per person

Theme:★★This was sparse - maybe that was realistic, but also it made (or should have made) figuring things out easier because there were few things to find, and some of those we were flat out told not to mess with.

Quality:★★★This was generally good, but the lighting was difficult for us, and there were whole parts a member of our group could not access.

Difficulty:★★★We made this harder as a group by not communicating well what was already done, and by thinking things from the welcome video were relevant in the solution of the room (they weren't, really - at least not the parts we remembered).

Fun:★★...Parts. Parts were fun. Other parts felt like a lot of searching and somewhat guessing what to do.

North Texas Escape Rooms - Submerged

We had a last minute get together at the escape room with friends, and it was a good thing we did. We had a fun time going through the room, and the puzzles were fun and a wide variety. My only complaint is that, due to the size of the group, there are how parts of the room and whole puzzles I missed out on.

Price:$$$27 per person

Theme:★★★There are some neat ideas in here, and most things go well with the theme. I'm not sure all of these would be as they are in a real submarine, but they worked well for the experience.

Quality:★★★Things were pretty good - there are some that didn't open up or line up for us quite well, but after some patience we were successful.

Difficulty:★★★This was about perfect for our group - everyone was able to contribute.

Fun:★★★We had a fun time - our group really came together and we had a good time.

North Texas Escape Rooms - Amnesia

This was a great room to start off 2018 with. Love the atmosphere of the building, and loved how well the room fit into its space. This was the perfect sized room for the three of us, and the puzzles and story were great for our skill sets.

Price:$$$27 per person

Theme:★★★I like the build-out in this room, and the use of the space to fit in with the theme.

Quality:★★Most of this was good, but there were at least two puzzles that we didn't work well. One we solved but it didn't do what it should have (helped arrived) and another worked when we are pretty sure we hadn't solved it yet.

Difficulty:★★★Great mix of puzzles - none too hard or too easy, and all perfect for our group.

Fun:★★★This was a fun room - the physical nature of some of the puzzles, and nature of the props - these came together well to make this enjoyable.
