If you've never done an escape room with kids before, you might be wondering: Is it too hard? Will they get scared? What if they get frustrated? We hear these questions all the time — and the answer to all three is no.
Our rooms at Escape The Room Dallas are designed to be exciting, not frightening. Think of it as a live-action puzzle adventure, not a haunted house. Your dedicated game master watches your group's progress in real time and provides unlimited hints whenever anyone asks — so nobody gets stuck and the whole family stays engaged.
Kids love it because they get to be the hero. Parents love it because everyone puts their phones away for an hour. And since we're inside Preston Forest Village, a popular open-air shopping center in North Dallas, you can make a whole afternoon of it — escape room, then lunch at one of the great restaurants, browse the shops, or explore the area.
Our rooms are puzzle adventures — no jump scares, no darkness, no horror themes. Every room is designed to be exciting and fun for all ages.
Your game master provides as many hints as your family needs. Nobody gets hopelessly stuck — the goal is for everyone to have fun.
