Room Escape Adventures

This was an awesome team building event. Our sales team was scared, but we were able to work together to escape the room. The zombie definitely added a more intense element to a room escape. Kenny was the best Zombie!!!

Outstanding event for a team. We had 10 people and only two of us had any experience with this type of activity. Everyone had a blast and the time flew by with so much going on.
Kenny was our zombie and could not have been nice, not withstanding him wanting to eat us. He was great and he kept all of us on our toes. Misty was our host and kept us focused the entire time and not once did she make fun of me for screaming like a little girl.
Great fun and what a way to spend a few hours with people that you want a zombie to eat.
Hats off to Misty and Kenny

It’s a good team building experience. Definitely a place that you would want to take your employees to maybe learn about team work and communication. I’m not really into riddles and zombie stuff so I wouldn’t go back on my own, but this is a great way to get people in a collaborative environment thinking! I wish the room was a bit bigger, but I guess that’s apart of the experience.

I planned a surprise date night for me and my boyfriend and he literally can’t stop raving about how fun this place was!
We didn’t know any of the people in the group but it was still a lot of fun. I will say though if you don’t talk and share clues with each other it ruins the experience so please don’t be shy to talk with the strangers in your group. Otherwise plan a private event with a group of friends!
I’m an extremely jumpy person who isn’t a fan of scary stuff but the zombie wasn’t TOO scary or jumpy so that definitely made the experience more enjoyable for me.
NOTE: if you’re extremely jumpy please please please refrain from hitting or throwing things at the zombie. The zombie is a real life person and isn’t actually trying to eat you so please don’t hurt them :(
The host and the zombie were very sweet, funny, and light hearted people so even though tipping isn’t required I would definitely suggest doing so!

Well I have to admit, I wasn’t looking forward to this. My wife and sister-​in-​law got both families signed up to do it. Well it was a lot of fun! We didn’t make it out, but we were oh so close (working on the final step when the buzzer went off). It takes a lot of teamwork. It took us a few minutes to figure the process out. Don’t overlook the clues, they are there for a reason. The final combinations is… yeah right nice try! Thanks to our staff Katie (Zombie) and Justice (host) for everything!

It was a great experience! Misty was a great host and Cathy was a fantastic zombie. Great unique experience… Definitely want to have all your senses and sharp to escape this room!

I didn’t know what to expect other than there was going to be a zombie! It was so much fun. When’s the last time you had fun actually interacting with people and not a cell phone!
I was on a team of 12 and only knew one other person. I never laughed so hard that night. I have told all my friends to do this!
Katie and Misty were amazing! I would totally do this again once the clues have changed!

I love zombies. So when my friend got a group together to do an escape room WITH A ZOMBIE in it, I was literally the first to get a ticket.
I’m not going to spoil anything about the room. Just know that yes, the zombie is in there with you, and yes, it definitely will go after you, but no, it will not hurt you. It’s also brightly lit, so no one is going to sneak up on you and scare you.
I was part of a group of 10 people who all knew each other, so it was fun. I could see how doing this with strangers would be less enjoyable/​effective, because the room is pretty small and once that zombie gains nearly free reign of the place, you WILL end up grabbing someone or jostling someone whether you want to or not.
You need to be clear headed and sharp to do this. This is NOT an activity you want to have a few drinks before, trust me. Save the drinking to celebrate your escape after you’re done.
Great experience. Misty and Katie were fantastic. I’d go back again when they change the scenario.

First room escape for my friends & I. We had a blast! Highly recommend the Zombie Room Escape. Clever a$$ puzzles to solve for a clever group of friends. Our host said that only 1 out of 4 groups end up completeing the challenge. We finished with 8 minutes to spare (record holder at 12 minutes) GG. If you’re looking for something awesome to do with friends, DO THIS.

Went today with a group of friends and family. We had a blast! Our host, Q, was great and very helpful and friendly, and our Zombie, Misty, was awesome and tons of fun! We would definitely go back!

Great time for our family get-​together! Q and Misty were great hosts. The fun of working together and dodging the zombie was exciting and tested us to work as team. This is as great experience we won’t forget. The Mighty Mini Vans escaped!

What a great idea. Such a Fun experience. I had the awesome opportunity to experience this as a team building event. The location seemed sketchy, in a warehouse district down town. The entrance was on the back side of the building and the windows were cornered with black trash bags. There were two workers, one provided the explanation and rules and the second was our zombie and he was sporting some very well done make up. They make sure and tell you that a team of doctors couldn’t make it out but a group of Girl Scouts did. Messing with your head.
The actual space is a small room with desks, tables and cabinets. It’s a maze of riddles and clues solve one and it leads you to the next. All the while the zombie starts off chained in the corner, about every 5 – 7 minutes the chain is released an the zombie can get closer and closer to you. If the zombie touches you then your «dead» and must go sit in the corner. You can still participate verbally to help out. The riddles and puzzles were a little difficult and challenging but they will tell you the key is communication. So if you’re wondering if my group made it out. I will have to leave you guessing. This is extremely fun and definitely makes you think out side the box. Afterward the zombie posed for pictures with us. I definitely recommend this experience.

I was a little worried that this would be cheezy or too easy for a bunch of engineers to solve. However it was super difficult and was surprised to here on 25% actually solve the puzzle. I will say anything more than about 5 – 6 people is almost too many in the same room.

Luckily more than half of the group were my friends. We had 4 people that were strangers but we collaborated well with them. Except with the random hooded guy in the corner the entire time. Overall we had a fantastic time. Having done A puzzle room before, I knew a little of what to expect. The zombie chased us around the room several times and it was exhausting. I would come back if they continue to change the puzzles and riddles every so often. Talk note this is not scary and it’s a fun family night outting too.

We had a blast doing this for a our birthday with friends. You can have up to 12 people, we only had 7 and in some ways that was too many. Unless you are on a team building outing I would try to keep your group small. The room is pretty small. The puzzles are harder then I expected, but we did manage to escape the room. The entrance is a small side door and we had to wait awhile to get them to open it, its a little confusing when the haunted house is also going on. The price was fair and it was a unique, fun way to spend an hour. We will be back when they change up the puzzles.

This was a really unique outing for a friend’s birthday! The puzzles were challenging, and the zombie disruptions made it very hard to think clearly enough to put the clues in order (which lets you know you’re on the right track). It was the right mix of adrenaline and challenge. The group definitely needs to have strategy to work together.
The zombie isn’t overly gory, so if you’re sensitive about such things it’s not a big concern. (No guts and just a bit of fake blood.) It really is about the pressure of the situation, and racing against the clock. I’d definitely do it again!

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I love zombies; I love problem-​solving games; I love, ergo, zombie-​problem-​solving games, in principal, anyway.
But there really oughtta be a lower cap for the number of participants. The setup is is that you have one hour to negotiate, like a low-​budget Saw sequel, your way through a series of puzzles (lock boxes, riddles, etc.) in order to escape a room – lest you all be killed by a zombie, one whose travel radius increases one foot every five minutes, until it has access to the entire space. You then run out of time, meaning that, of course, everyone has been eaten.
More than anything, the device is meant to disrupt your puzzle-​solving skills by making you focus on something immediate. Thus, you think inefficiently, burn your time running from the zombie, and fail to escape. That is, of course, unless you communicate well, establish priorities, send a few people to take one for the team by distracting the zombie, and generally think strategically and as a unit.
But given the size of the room, that means that there are are serious spatial constraints that have to be navigated. So too many people (there were nearly a dozen in our group, including a shrieking bachelorette party) means that it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to coordinate the clues or, for that matter, avoid tripping over one another once the zombie’s range starts increasing. And tripping over other people isn’t fun or challenging; it’s chaotic and annoying.
So, I can see this as a corporate team-​building exercise (its primary use, apparently). People who already know one another and know one another’s communication habits might find this both enjoyable and useful. But a dozen strangers in about 120 square feet? It brings down an otherwise cool concept. This should really be limited to about six people.

I planned a private zombie escape adventure for my birthday. When emailing the company, I usually got a response the next day. A date and time was reserved for my birthday and they provided us with a group discount code. I was told that I needed 8 people signed up (12 total are allowed) in order to keep it a private event. However, only 7 tickets were purchased (6 people came, one couldn’t make it) but the time I had reserved did not appear to be opened back up to the public. I enjoyed that it was just my friends, and to be honest, more than 6 people in the room would have been too many in my opinion.
This is in a warehouse suite seemingly in the middle of nowhere. My boyfriend said it looked like the kind of place you’d go for a drug deal. That being said, the 107 (suite number) in blood on the side of the building let us know we were in the right place. We showed up exactly 15 minutes early as instructed. One of the warnings when you purchase a ticket is that if you are late and the room is already locked, you do not get in! The sign on the front door says it will be opened 15 minutes before show time, but it was still locked at that time. We waited for about 10 minutes, then knocked on the door because one in our group needed to use the restroom. We heard a «Just a minute» and the door was opened maybe 5 – 10 minutes later. Our host/​facilitator «Lethal Injection» apologized and explained that she was putting the room back together after the last group. She asked us to put on a nametag, sign the waiver and use the restroom before she told us about the rules. They only have one restroom, so it took a while waiting for each person to use it. She advised we go then because more than one person has peed themselves while in the room with the zombie!
Lethal Injection had a great attitude and was obviously very happy to be there. She had lots of stories and hints for how our experience would go. She went over the rules, which did seem to go on a little long, but finally we were ready to go. Just outside the room, she told us a little more about the clues we were looking for, but looking back, that did not give me an idea of what I was really looking for.
I won’t give any spoilers about the room. The host does go in with you to make sure everyone stays safe and plays by the rules. She also removed items that we’d already figured out so they did not get in our way. We noticed many of the items were taped together and pretty beat up and there were holes in the walls. I understand some groups are probably rough with things, but some clues needed to be replaced. I can’t imagine fitting 12 people in what was a pretty small room, 6 was plenty and we still ran into each other often. The host did give subtle hints if we needed a little help progressing, and told us about half way through that we were right on track with other groups. Also, she did say we played «extreme mode» (not sure if she was kidding) but there was a lot more running than I anticipated. Also, if you’re scared at haunted houses, probably not the best adventure for you. Our zombie was funny and really played the role well. He didn’t «eat» anyone right away and made sure we had fun as well.
I am pretty intelligent, but I found some of the clues to be difficult. I’m not sure how anyone under 16 would have any chance of figuring them out. I think it would be much harder with a group of strangers too. We got very close to solving them all at the end but did not escape in time and were all eaten by the zombie. Apparently the escape rate is only 25%. my advice would be to make it slightly less complicated so more people have a chance of being successful!
After time was up, the host explained to us all the clues we hadn’t figured out or what we needed to do differently. Once we figured everything out together, we found the key and let ourselves out of the room. I’m sure this was possible because there were no groups scheduled after us. Then we took group photos with funny signs and with the zombie, when we asked. The time we were supposed to start was 8:30, and we only had an hour to escape, but we did not end up leaving until at least 10:15 or so! Both employees that were there seemed to love their jobs and talked to us about it for a while afterward.
To sum up, everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the experience. I think it would behoove the company to change the room/​clues up more regularly, because then you could have repeat customers. I did have two friends who did not come because they had already done it and the clues would have been the same.

This is fun! And very scary. It’s different from the other popular room escape adventures because of the zombie; its presence defined the entire story and dramatically heightened the creepiness of the experience.
The creepiness starts at the beginning. When you just arrive at the Room Escape Adventures place, it basically looks like an abandoned warehouse with blood on the door. You go in, and the waiting room is also extremely creepy (blood, photographs, and incoherent scribbles everywhere). When they finally usher you toward the room where you will be trapped, you can hear the zombie trying to break out of his cabinet thing. THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP. It was scary. And then they actually put you in the room and actually LOCK THE DOOR. Click. And the thumping gets louder. THUMP THUMP THUMP. At that point, I actually wanted to escape for real, but my friends would not let me.
Our group consisted entirely of adults, all attorneys and engineers, so for some inexplicable reason, we thought we might beat the odds and actually escape. (The success rate, we were told, is around 30%). NOPE. One of us died and the rest of us languished in the room until it was too late (i.e., time was called). It was awesome and a great team-​building exercise. But also immensely scary and stressful at the same time. One thing I really appreciated was that some of the clues were so close to the zombie that you actually had to work together to lure him in another direction while some brave soul ran in and deciphered the clues. It was a nice touch.
The only caveat I have is that this room could be a little dangerous. Near the end of our time, we were all running around a table, being chased by a mad zombie dripping with blood. One of my friends hurt his knee (from slamming it into the desk) and I could easily see someone tripping or getting pushed. I cannot imagine what this would look like if there were kids in the room. Room Escape Adventures might want to consider setting an age limit for these.
I would suggest wearing comfortable shoes, because you will end up trying to run away from the zombie while screaming incoherent hints to your friends in a desperate attempt to decipher puzzles codes. I did this in high-​heels and felt like I failed to meet my true zombie-​thwarting potential. Also, if you are a girl with long hair and you try to take a photo with the zombie afterwards, he WILL get fake blood in your hair and it will be hard to wash out.
Afterwards we went out for drinks because we were all so stressed out from the experience. But I’m glad we did it.

I don’t wanna give away too much, but this is a fun thing to do with friends or as a teambuilding event. And it’s definitely something new to do if you are looking to shake up your weekend plans a bit.
We reserved the entire show for our group but you can also just sign up and make some new friends if it’s too annoying to try and nail down a date that works for 12 people.
I thought it’d be super easy because I play that dumb game on my phone but you will be challenged. Dallas has something like a 26% pass rate – we failed but were pretty close. The host did say that many of the people who do make it out figure the final clues within the last two minutes, so don’t give up!
Be organized and communicate with your team and have fun! Hopefully you don’t get eaten.
