Bros for Life Fraternity Heist, The Escape Ventures (Orlando, FL) – Dude, Bros for Life at The Escape Ventures is an escape room for the BOOKS. This breakin’ and enterin’ you’re pulling? Legendary. (Review by Theresa W)
Mystic Voyage, Terror Isle (Texas City, TX) – Terror Isle is a haunted house that functions as an escape room most of the year. Mystic Voyage had an incredible set and great puzzles! This is another company to watch in the Houston area. (Review by Matthew Stein)
