This was the best part of our Austin trip. Yes, it's a little pricey, but we thought it was completely worth it. Check in was easy, and the ladies at the front desk were helpful. All the instructors were cheerful and enthusiastic and it really sets the mood of FUN, FUN, FUN! Once we were upstairs, we got to watch a family ahead of us for a few minutes before our instruction class started. Our kids got super pumped after getting to see the kids ahead of them do it, and watching their instructor do some tricks at the end. (Amazing!!!) Our instructor was Luciano and he was awesome. He seemed to really enjoy his job and his excitement was contagious. We watched a short video, and then he went over the hand signals with the kids and proper body posture. He was really good with our kids. It was so much fun just to watch my kids, and I laughed so hard at their antics, that at one point, I had tears streaming down my face. Gratuities are appreciated, and these guys are really working hard while in the tunnel with their clients. (so, give them a tip, they'll have earned it!) My husband and I chose not to fly, but had our four kids (4, 7, 10, and 13) fly 2 flights. We decided to pay the extra $10 to let them fly high and it was definitely worth it. My kids won't stop talking about their iFly experience and want to go back. I think this is the kind of memory they'll still be talking about when they are adults. We would absolutely do it again!

This was my second time after failing Prison Break (also awesome), but Classified was also just as fun. This one was a little simpler in design but the thrill was similar. Our game guide Zach was great in helping us through the experience, and I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting or in the area, this is a high quality escape game and by far the best one in the Austin area!

To be honest, I didn't know how this was going to turn out and I was a little concerned because I can be claustrophobic (I kept that to myself), but this was far more challenging than I expected and great fun at the same time! We booked this for a birthday celebration for a couple of our adult sons, so this was a family adventure (6 adults). The best part was that each of us found key clues that contributed to the success of the game. This is perfect for people who love mysteries and problem solving!I'd also like to say that Jim and Jan were excellent hosts! We were running just a little behind, but they handled everything smoothly and graciously and made us feel perfectly at ease. Could not have been better!

My kids and I (ages 16-25) had the BEST time! This is definitely on our list to do again! It's a really cool twist on your normal every day escape room experience. I almost wish it lasted longer... time went really quickly! I'm excited to go back and try one of the other games.

We bought the Black Friday package as a Christmas gift. We had an amazing experience from entrance to exit! Great customer service and atmosphere. Our girls were made to feel at ease and wanted to go back for more as soon as we were done. Staff was helpful, patient and made the whole experience pleasant. We will definitely be back!!

In town with my husband and decided to do an escape room, not our first time doing one but it was one of the best ones. We did the Indiana Jones The Dig and had a blast, it was super big with rooms leading to more rooms and when you thought you were done another door would open. I give this escape room a five star for sure! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The best arcade bar in Dallas. $10 admission for unlimited play on 125+ games! Enjoy adult beverages from Bishop Cider and food trucks every day. We're family-friendly during the day and 21+ at 8pm.

As the name "Cidercade" suggests, this place has two selling points: cider and an arcade. First up, the cider is awesome. Mango Habanero and The Light Cide are two of my favorites. Texas doesn't have a plethora of great cideries so this place is a godsend. Second is the arcade. Ten bucks gets you in the door and gives you free play to everything. (A $20 month pass is available too.) Well over 100 games I'd guess. Lots of them are old and obscure, but there's still some classics and a selection of modern games. Plus a ton of pinball cabinets! All in all a great place for a date or a hangout with friends!

We had a group of 9, 5 were children. We did the playground escape game which was perfect for the children to enjoy as well as the adult, so many twist and turns, many surprises throughout the game. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed. Take the kids and check it out.
