    Fun family event! Excellent staff. Very challenging for sure! Definitely would do it again.

    Thank you to the other yelpers. If it wasn't for them sharing that the 11th Hour Escape had a Stranger Things theme we may have not given the place a 2nd look, thankfully we did. We had took a few of our nieces and tried it out mid day on the 4th of July. Like others have pointed out, the outside is part of an office complex and is not impressive but you shouldn't judge it by the outside. The lobby as well is bare and not impressive, but is that what you're really there for? As may be obvious we tried out the Stranger Things theme. You do not have to be a lover of Stranger Things to enjoy the room. My nieces had not scene it and were still enthralled. Really great puzzles, far more unique than other escape rooms we've tried. However, if you are a fan of the show, definitely go and try it out. It's a fantastic experience and our escape room artist (staff) did a great job giving relevant clues and responding when needed. They also have a Fall Out themed room and our son would love to try that. May keep an eye out for a special and take another full group out there.

    All smiles! We escaped(with a little help from our new friend!)

    Had a great time celebrating a birthday!! Challenging but fun. I would suggest 4-6 people at most. We will go again!

    Great fun. Well designed puzzle. Allows a large group of people to work simultaneously on different clothes. Lots of variety and ingenuity in the puzzle. Very nice staff too. Possibly the best escape room that that we have experienced out of approximately 10 or so experiences.

    I've done over 100 escape rooms and sadly stopped counting after that. But I still enjoy the wide…read morevariety of styles. From puzzle rooms, to experiences, to interactive theater style escape rooms. I have visited the Los Angeles/ Korea Town location in the past but only tried Cannibal's Den there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here in the San Diego location, I was able to play the Cannibal's Den 2.0, and their Malediction room. Cannibal's Den was less cerebral puzzles and more physical puzzles that felt more like you actually escaping from a cannibal. Was it scary? Sure, but I'm used to Halloween haunted houses/mazes and enjoy those as well. This wasn't as intense as those though so this should be more accessible for those that don't enjoy jump scares. And Malediction, it's a unique game similar to a fantasy video game where you have to find something. There are magical moments that I will not spoil, and yes there are some live actors but they do not scare or attack you. Just very interactive. I have yet to play their other games at this location and can't wait! Also, Arah and Maddie were fantastic hosts. They were quite interactive especially in Malediction, their fantasy adventure themed room. And don't forget to use the restroom before you start a game! You may be in your game for a full hour depending on your skill level! And as always, have fun!

    We came by Questroom and did the Red Giant room. Overall we really liked the room. The decorations…read moreare top notch. Nothing feels cheaply done or made for sure. The game masters were also awesome and very attentive. Our only complaints would be that a few things in the room we did, were not working properly and it was pretty frustrating. Also it's a little pricey compared to other escape rooms we've done. Still a great spot and would recommend.

    We got a gift card a year ago for Christmas and I realized the email said it expires in 12 months,…read morewhich would be this coming week, so we got out there. The staff member I spoke with said they actually don't expire, but I'm glad we went anyway. We chose the Gift Holiday escape room and booked online two days before. Our game master Andy did a great job catering to our family of four's needs--our kids are 8 and almost 12, so he asked if we were looking to beat the high score or if we wanted hints if he saw we were stuck. I let him know we wanted to try to solve it ourselves, but we wanted to beat the room. He provided a great amount of help but always at the right times. We solved the room with five minutes to spare which felt great. We don't have beat it without his help, and it would've negatively impacted our experience. I appreciated the option where more competitive people would need or want fewer hints. He had great enthusiasm and a pleasant attitude. There are many escape room options, but he made this location our favorite and first choice going forward.

    I played the Lost Ruins room with some friends, and we made it out with under two minutes to spare…read more We chose the unlimited hints options I think (or whatever was the most) and used around 5-7 in total. You get a bonus hint if you can solve the riddle at the front, which was fun. This room had a lot fewer high tech audio visual effects than some escape rooms I've done more recently. It was a lot of more classic puzzles, nothing insanely cognitively complexed. There were some frustrations, like getting pieces in exactly the right order but one fairly symmetrical piece was just upside down/ not locking properly with magnets. That's the kind of thing it would be helpful if the game master could comment on when they see us get the order right and lose 10 extra minutes... they did give us some time back because the piece was a little glitchy. We had multiple binders to use as reference for many clues, and one of them was really out of order, which also confused the flow a little as we were trying to flip to the same pages as each other. We found some of the puzzles a little far fetched to figure out without a hint to get started. All in all, though, this was a very fun way to spend an hour with friends and earns a solid 4/5 on escape rooms for me! I appreciated it wasn't too scary (I hate the ones with super loud jump scares and things / people popping out at you!). Recommend! We were a group of four which I think is about the right number for this sort of thing.

    My husband brought me here for a birthday surprise, so it was just the 2 of us and there were 3…read moredifferent rooms for the minimum of 2 people. We did the Secret Vault which had a 35% passing rate. It was challenging and fun and even though we didn't escape, they did allow us 15 extra minutes with 3 more clues and we got out in 7 minutes. It was only 1 room, but it was so well thought out and some stuff that was super crazy hard, that I would have never thought of. I liked how clean everything was and well kept. I've been through some escape rooms out of the country and so I thought that this room was comparable in the level of difficulty for some parts, but for sure the puzzles were done very well. I've told a lot of my friends about this place, so I can't wait to go back with them. There's no red herrings, and the game master did very well with guiding us during the clues and was very thorough with the rules. Can't wait to go back.

    Update: the owner completely missed the point about the laminated cards. Clues should be creative…read moreand your company took a very stale, almost lazy approach to clue display. You already have numerous different rules and a required liability form, so I don't see a problem with a screwdriver, something you can find in your house. TLDR: I have done 15+ rooms and this place ranks the worst I've ever done. Being OGs to the escape room scene, opening in 2014, Escape Expert should have a proven formula down. At least that is what I bet on. Oh, how wrong I was. Boasting the "largest" escape room in Texas is true. Just trying to find the bathroom in this place is hard. HOWEVER, it really is just a pitiful excuse to be expensive. Their "third generation escape room" is just a fancy phrase to say an escape room with no manual locks. I hated their escape room, Holding Cell. Their orientation room takes away from the experience. I didn't pay $30 to sit and get lectured like children for 10 minutes on about 15 different rules I could be liable for if I break. When you enter an escape room, you should feel transported into a movie or another dimension. Their room had no atmosphere. It felt like a room disguised as a cell, instead of being a cell. It just felt fake. Where was the toilet or sink the prisoner was suppose to use? Why the hell was there a blackboard on the wall? The blackboard should be a clue. The room just felt clunky. It didn't have a flow and the progression clues were poorly displayed. Progression should feel rewarding. Here, it just felt trivial and insulting. (We got the puzzle! What did we get? Oh, just a laminated card).The clues were written on LAMINATED CARDS. Like come on, be more creative. Have a scewdrive as a reward and something. On the backs, they had the location of the clues for the staff to reset the room. It was a poor attempt at an technologically advanced escape room. This is a prime example of quality over quantity. Save your money and take it to the Perfect Escape, The Escape Game, or even Red Door! Anywhere but here.
