The Experience

I’ll admit, I laughed a little too loud when the door clanged shut behind us at Extreme Escape in San Antonio. The “bunker” lighting was weirdly convincing—kind of greenish, like a hospital corridor after midnight. Our guide (I think his name was Marcus?) grinned and said, “You’ve got one hour before you join the undead.” My friend Jamie squeezed my arm so hard I nearly dropped the clue sheet. I didn’t expect to feel nervous, but there’s something about being locked in with fake blood spatters on the wall that gets under your skin.

The story was that we were scientists hunting for an antidote before zombies overran the place. We had to work fast—there was this constant low growling sound through the speakers that made me jump every time it cut out. At one point, I tried to read a code out loud and totally butchered it; Jamie still teases me about my “mad scientist voice.” There were moments when we all just stood there stumped, then suddenly someone would spot a detail—a weird symbol scratched into metal, or a drawer handle sticky with something (corn syrup? I hope)—and we’d scramble again. It felt more real than I expected for a game.

We didn’t escape in time. Honestly? That last lock had us completely beat. But Marcus came back in laughing and showed us what we’d missed—he even let us try the final puzzle just for fun. Walking out into daylight again felt like waking up from a strange dream. I still think about that bunker smell—metal and dust—and how quiet it got when we realized time was almost up.
