Highly Recommend!!!
I live toward Houston, my friend toward San Antonio--when we get together we try to do things in between us. She wanted to do an escape room, and I said pfft that will have to be in a big city. BUT I googled just for kicks, and imagine how surprised I was when one of the lovely authentic Texas towns between us--Shiner no less--had not one, but FIVE escape room adventures!
I had no experience doing an escape room; my friend did, and we both loved the Shiner Beer room--the mystery kept going and going, with lots of puzzles and clues. We had to collaborate!

The staff were fantastic: friendly, engaging, and accommodating. The game was well-managed and expertly designed. I would highly recommend adding the Shiner Escape Rooms to your itinerary for your next...
Read moreFor a small Texas town, Shiner Escape Rooms offered a well put together experience. We were a little light on team members but they didn't have a problem with us paying the extra ticket and giving us a go at the hardest puzzle in their repetoire. The hotel setup was interesting and the guy that sets up the rooms was patient and only assisted us when we were completely stumped.
If you enjoy lockbox puzzles give the hotel puzzle a go. It had plenty lockboxes and there were occaisional games of skill thrown in. Personally I would like to have seen more of those but honestly, the experience was very well put together and we all...
