They made sure we felt right at home before getting us set up to throw some axes. And let me tell you--throwing axes is way more fun than I imagined! They have a variety of games to keep things exciting, so whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, there's something for everyone to enjoy. This place is perfect for a unique date night that'll definitely score some points, or just a cool hangout with your buddies where you can unleash your inner lumberjack. Plus, the location is unbeatable--there are so many amazing food spots nearby to hit up afterward. It's the kind of place where you have an unforgettable time, then grab some bites and keep the fun going. I can't recommend The Axe Academy enough!

Most of the people in my group blew their own bowls but I went a different route and made a paper weight. With assistance of course by the folks that run Area 253! You can pick from a variety of colors as to what you want your glass piece to look like. Paperweights they usually go with two colors while with bowls it can be up to three. I went with a light blue and a bright green for my paperweight and went with the organic option that I was given (as opposed to the spiral design which you can also have inside the paperweight). The result of the colors I picked and the blister bubbles that were captured gave my paperweight a turbulent oceanic look which I absolutely loved! I would love to come back here again to make more paperweights and try out different colors and maybe the spiral option. I have a small group of friends I'm going to try to get to go... they would really enjoy it! Awesome place and now I think I'm addicted to glass blowing places like Area 253!

I was getting delighted, each time you though a pumpkin was gorgeous and held it in the sun it changed to even deeper or brighter colors, it was just stunning. There are many shapes, standard round pumpkin, lay down pumpkin, gourd shapes were my favorite, mushrooms, starfish and ornaments. Normally this is a Tacoma Washington shop BUT this was their ninth season in f holding the glass pumpkin patch in Lincoln City. I can't wait to go to their shop and make something. Glass pumpkin patch! Patrick Cahill, co-owner of Area 253 Glassblowing was happy to pose for a quick photo shoot. I love the yellow pumpkin I am holding, it looked like a lemony dream, exuding happiness and warmth, just waiting to come home and spend the holidays with me.

So glad we took the time to head down to Tacoma to complete these rooms!…read more We have done over 50 rooms at this point - just my wife and I completed all four in a weeks' time - here are our thoughts The Cure The first of the rooms here. Not linear at all, lots to do and look at. The final puzzle was one I was very familiar with so I knew what I was looking for and how to solve - had that not been the case we would not have escaped as we did it with a mere 54 seconds remaining. I think this room could use 3-4 people, especially if they are newer to escape rooms. Enjoyed the immersion, some of the puzzles weren't our favorite as they weren't real clear on what to do, but the room is solid. The Sorcerer's Rescue Another big room with lots of things to do. Definitely recommend four people even if seasoned...there's just a lot to do here, we needed two extra minutes. The hardest of the rooms offered currently. Immersion is great, if wizards and potions and pixies are your thing you'll love this room. The Estate They said Condemned was the easiest, I felt it was The Estate, but I also guess that depends on your strengths. The estate was a pretty straightforward escape room, very linear but in a way that two people can work together rather one sitting while other doing all the work. These are the rooms we work best on and really enjoyed working through this room quickly. Escaped with about 27 minutes left. The Condemned This is my favorite room. Like of all the rooms we have done, and we have done two top award winning rooms in Seattle and LA. I wish I could forget about it and do it again. I have recommended it to no less than a dozen people since doing it. Creepy, spooky, make me scream rooms are right up my alley. So much fun. We have done a lot of scary rooms and this had the *right* amount of terror so you could still focus. Escaped with a little over 18 min left and had so much fun doing so. All in all we had a blast. There is something for everyone here. Linear and non-linear. Scary and mild. Fantasy and reality. Also, I forgot to mention, the staff get into character with you to really set the scene. With everywhere opening escape rooms that is a little touch that is being missed. It really sets the scene and gets the room started right. THANK YOU so much to the staff at Enigma - and know as soon as you launch a new room we will be right back down there.

I saw this place pop on social media from all of the Houston influencers. I love science and NASA so I made it a point to make it here while it's still in Houston. Reservations are required and evening and weekend spots fill up quickly. Parking was easy on either the street or parking lot. The staff was friendly and informative. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're about to be walk into a space station. We waited about 10-15 minutes after our scheduled time to actual get into the experience. You have to go into an introduction room and then to the room where you get your VR equipment. They are cleaned thoroughly between use and are very comfortable. I had a few instances were the screen would go blank but it recalibrates quickly. The cool part is, you're group is color coded in the VR world so you can stick close together. You are free to roam about the room which in the VR world is the space station. It's interactive and there's so much to see. It's so neat how organized it is and if you follow instructions, you won't run into people. After the VR part, there's a few other artistic exhibits which were really cool and made for great pic opportunities. This was so cool, I might give it another go before it's gone!
