If you come to Arlington, you MUST go to Top O'Hill! Who knew such interesting history happened in this very place .... Bonnie & Clyde and Frank Sinatra??? Oh, my! Vicki does an incredible job of sharing the history with humor and stories told to her by those who were at Top O'Hill in its glory days! Riveting. It's two hours well spent and a place you will be talking about to all of your friends!

I cannot adequately say how wonderful our night was at The Perfect Escape on Fri Feb 26, in the 9pm slot. The Pharaoh's Tomb is a beautiful escape area with interesting and fun puzzles and details. I have an entertainment and theatre background so can easily appreciate the care and detail in place for the experience. We had a group of 10 people celebrating my son’s birthday. All had a great time. When we first arrived, some weren't sure where the door was. The building has a plain and unassuming office exterior. Look for the logo on the window and read the signs. Entrance is on the west side of the building. Only three of us had been to an escape room before, but they all felt this escape room was far more interesting, fun, challenging and detailed. They also said, unlike Pharaohs Tomb at TPE, in the other escape rooms, traps and interactive elements did not work on their own. Those venues required progression events to be triggered by staff in control rooms every time players completed tasks. Clearly this was not the case in our room. We directly triggered every puzzle to the next level through the specific actions we did on site. It gave a feeling of authenticity and accomplishment. I don’t know at what point I forgot about the world outside, but shortly into the experience, we felt completely immersed into our goals and the tomb world. Very challenging, requiring all of our individual skills to solve and progress. The room was so good, they may have ruined us for lesser rooms! We made it out with 52 seconds to spare LOL. We are thinking about next time- Many of us want to check out the Chinese restaurant room in The Perfect Escape. We also used their party room- which was a converted conference area. They allowed us freedom to bring in our own food and decorate. We even left our stuff in the room which they locked during our escape. It worked out great for us. What a convenience. Staff was super accommodating and helpful when planning.

I have been a client at Daireds for years. A couple of weeks ago I had a small hiccup. BUT...Daireds owner called me on his personal phone to take care of things. I was so shocked and so pleased there are no words. What a wonderful thing that his business has grown so greatly and yet he is still so connected to what’s going on. That speaks volumes for his salon. I’m just one person. I figured what would my issue matter in the big picture! I just can’t say enough how nice it was that I felt like every single person that enters those doors matters.
