Houston Galleria: Escape Room Game Adventures for Groups

Summary

Five immersive escape rooms in Houston’s Galleria with friends

You’ll dive into one of five themed escape rooms at The Escape Game Houston in The Galleria, racing against the clock with your team. Expect clever puzzles, laughter, and a few surprises — plus guidance from local staff if you need it. Whether you solve it or not, you’ll leave buzzing from the energy and maybe craving tacos or ice cream all over again.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to get so into it, honestly. We’d just finished tacos at Velvet Taco (messy but worth it), and wandered over to The Escape Game Houston inside the Galleria. I could still smell the waffle cones from Le Macaron drifting through the mall. Our guide, Marcus, had this calm energy — he handed us our mission briefing like we were about to crack some secret code instead of just trying not to embarrass ourselves in front of strangers.

The room we picked was “The Heist” — something about a stolen painting and a ticking clock. I remember the weird hush when the door closed; you could hear people laughing faintly outside, but inside it was just us and a bunch of clues that made zero sense at first. My friend tried every combination on the first lock (spoiler: none worked). Marcus popped in once when we got stuck — didn’t give away too much, just nudged us along. There was this moment where my hands were actually shaking a bit, which sounds silly now for an escape room in a shopping mall, but it felt real then.

Sixty minutes goes fast when you’re arguing about what “the red vase” means or crawling around looking for codes under tables. At one point I caught myself grinning like an idiot because someone finally cracked a puzzle I’d been staring at forever. We didn’t escape in time (close though), but nobody seemed to care — even the other group high-fived us on the way out. Afterwards we grabbed ice cream at Creamistry and kept replaying our favorite fails. It’s weird how quickly strangers can feel like teammates after something like that.
