⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Escape Room Experience – Perfect for Team Building, Fun, and Connection!
We recently visited The Escape Game for an employee team-building event, and I have to say it was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and friendly team who made us feel welcome right away. The front lobby is clean, organized, and filled with high-quality, shiny Escape Game merchandise that instantly gets you excited before your adventure even begins.
This was actually my second visit, and I’ve now done two rooms — Gold Rush and The Depths — and both experiences were top-tier. Gold Rush made me feel like I had been transported to a rustic cabin deep in the woods, searching for lost treasure. The detail in the props, sounds, lighting, and puzzles was so immersive — I truly felt like I was part of the story.
The Depths was an entirely different adventure, and equally impressive. It felt like we were inside a real underwater submarine facility, trying to complete a secret mission. The tech, effects, and interactive elements made it feel like a movie. Everything was super clean, well-maintained, and the puzzles were just the right balance of challenging and fun.
The staff was amazing throughout — providing helpful hints without giving anything away and making the entire experience smooth and exciting. The Escape Game clearly puts a lot of care into every detail, and it shows.
They also offer other rooms like Prison Break and Playground, which are great for bigger groups or different difficulty levels. I definitely recommend checking out the available rooms in advance so you can choose the perfect fit for your group.
Another big plus is the location — right near The Shops at La Cantera, with tons of restaurants, shopping, and even Six Flags Fiesta Texas just around the corner. You can easily turn your escape room visit into a full day of fun and bonding.
Whether you’re looking for a creative team-building activity, a fun group outing, or just something different to do in San Antonio, this place delivers. 10/10 — Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be...
Read moreEasy to "Love" and escape room, but this is a 10-Star experience for sure! So much thought has gone into the rooms, puzzles, and even the story.
Over 100 rooms completed and still finding new puzzles and experiences. As a chain, we did a couple of their rooms in an Orlando location, but this site seemed much better maintained (maybe just newer). We escaped Special Ops, The Depths, and Playground with no room-related frustrations (only team member friction points). The set design, soundtrack, lighting, clue/hint system, and video injects were high quality and kept the immersion alive and the excitement and tension high throughout. The only padlocks we came across made sense for the scene (e.g., lockers, briefcase, etc.), and there wasn't any hide-and-seek for clues unless it made sense to the plot; we are often foiled by magnetic hide-a-keys and thus not a fan.
Each of the four of us stayed active the entire time with enough puzzles in count and variety to challenge the group but with teamwork and communication still critical to success. I think more than six players would be too crowded, though, except for Playground which could hold more comfortably. Although there is enough complexity to challenge any group's braniacs, there are plenty of tactile actions to entertain younger children and the young(er) at heart.
The suspense was real, but the jump scares only resulted from magnetic doors popping open. Finally, the gamemasters, Hunter and Bridgette both made the experience all the better with their enthusiasm and competition celebration, but Bridgette is a next level host. A true artist of the tradecraft, we would come back just to have her as a gamemaster, again!
One criticism: They could use a little more soundproofing between rooms. Happy for our neighbors, but it was a little distracting to hear squeals and shouts from the...
Read moreBradley was the overseer of our escape room experience and was a great presence. My boyfriend and I went for a Valentine’s date (unforeseen traffic delayed us, thank you to The Escape Game for the 5 minute grace period). Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to see a family had booked the same room. We had chosen The Playground escape room and right off the bat, we were met with an incredibly detailed room and setting. The family’s kids definitely had a great time with the aesthetic and colors presented. Despite being the lowest difficulty room at this location, it was a great challenge. Even though it was difficult, the kids still had space to help out. Despite having never met this family before, we worked together perfectly and had great chemistry. The hints really came in clutch when we were lost and the room continued to surprise us at every turn. We cut it very close to the end with less than 5 minutes left on the clock and it was a very thrilling experience. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time and we definitely will be back when we get the chance (37.99 per person is a tad steep, so this is definitely a once in a while thing). If the family is reading this, we just want y'all to know we had an awesome time and we appreciate you treating us normally despite us being a same sex couple. We had such a fun time and we hope to run into...
