- Jen C1 contributionDefinitely worth the little trip out of Austin!Top notch escape rooms with an amazing crew. Ambiance and puzzles are always fantastic. Looking for high-tech but local experience? This is it! You walk out of it thinking “these people know exactly what they’re doing.” I always suggest the Pirate Room for folks looking to get into an escape room for the first time. They nail the theme, puzzles are challenge but not overwhelming, and it’s just so much fun!Visited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 18 February 2023
- B L3 contributionsWe went back the very next day!YUP we sure did. Had so much fun our first night, we booked a room for the very next day. Had so much fun. The theming and puzzle intricacy was unlike anything I've seen before. Top tier caliber, I couldn't believe some of the stuff they pulled off. HIGHLY recommended!Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 26 March 2023
- Michele AAustin, Texas4 contributionsGreat experience and truly a challenge!This experience was so great from beginning to end. The game master was so fun and gave us help when needed most. The room we chose was pretty challenging and our group was all first timers but we managed to escape with only seconds to spare. It was fun and such a great experience! I highly recommend.Visited May 2023Travelled on businessWritten 12 May 2023
- Ms_C_A_C_28 contributionsGreat escape room experienceWe had an excellent time solving the Dead Man’s Cove escape room. The mix of tech and hands in clues made it an immersive experience.

- Greg CSyracuse, New York49 contributionsFun pirate adventure!We did the Pirate room with our daughter and 10 y/o granddaughter. The room was a little dark which made things difficult. One lock didn’t work which was a little frustrating. The staff were very friendly and helpful which really made for an overall great experience. We will definitely visit them again.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 16 September 2023
- Kristine WLas Vegas, Nevada18 contributionsCool tech!!We have done over one hundred escape rooms in different cities and this was fantastic. We did the pirate themed room. It had great puzzles and some really cool technology that made the room exciting for our teen boys. The staff was fantastic. Our game master Lyndsay was perfectly helpful. This is a great escape room and I just wish we would've had time to do some of the others.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 23 September 2023
- Maegin M2 contributionsSam is The Man!We did the Sherlock-themed room and loved every single minute, due in no small part to our incredible gamemaster, Sam. His energy was infectious as soon as we met. He was clearly very engaged with the content and made our experience in an already incredible room a 10/10! Well done!Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 7 October 2023

Hi, Mitch. What would you like to know about this attraction? Approximately how much time should people expect to spend per room or event average running times. Thanks
Hi Mitch!
It depends on how- many people you have and what type of event you are looking at doing.
Short answer is we say about 90 min on average. That is 15 min before learning about the room and locks before going in, 45-70 min in the room solving the puzzles and then about 10-15 min to get you out and grab pictures of everyone.
Hope that helps! Any more questions can be answered by calling us directly 512-669-5370
What is the price for an individual?

To piggyback off that, when our group went, we bought a Groupon for around $17/person
