What’s the experience like?

“You ever tried to break out of prison with your sister-in-law?” That’s what I blurted out to the guy at check-in — he just grinned and handed us our mission cards. We’d barely stepped inside The Escape Game at Grandscape, right in The Colony, but already it felt like we were somewhere else. Our game guide, Marcus, had this way of explaining things that made even the nervous folks in our group loosen up. He joked about how he still gets lost in ‘The Depths’ room sometimes (“it’s darker than my coffee on Mondays”), which made me a little less worried about looking clueless.

The first thing I noticed was how the air smelled faintly like new carpet mixed with someone’s leftover tacos (probably from Velvet Taco next door). It was weirdly comforting. When we started our escape room — we picked ‘Prison Break’ because someone dared us — there was this heavy silence for a second, broken by my cousin whispering, “Okay… so what now?” Clues were everywhere: a scratchy old blanket, fake bricks that actually moved if you pressed just right. Marcus popped in once or twice with hints over the speaker (“You’re warmer!”), but mostly let us flail around and argue about codes. At one point my aunt tried to pick a lock with her hairpin; she failed spectacularly but we all cracked up.

I didn’t expect to get so into it, honestly. Sixty minutes goes by fast when you’re yelling numbers and crawling on the floor (I think I bruised my knee). There were families from Plano and a couple visiting from Frisco playing other rooms — you could hear their laughter echo through the walls when things got tense on our side. Afterward, we took blurry photos holding signs like “We Escaped!” (barely true) while Marcus told us his favorite local places for burgers if we needed to decompress. I still think about that moment when we finally cracked the last code — not because we’re geniuses, but because somehow nobody quit even when it got confusing. That sticks with me more than any prize would’ve.
