As a family we've been looking for a place to do an escape room. Came across this place on the web and on Sundays they have a discount (from $29 to $22) so we made a reservation for six online. After fees and such it came to about $154 or so. They do have cancellation insurance that you can use within the last 72 hours for $3 each but we felt like we didn't need it for same day reservation. The place has a bar food type menu wings, burgers, decent mix of combination appetizers, sliders, chicken fingers, salads....Beers on tap as well as axe throwing and so concerned about the mix of those two....LOL... Also classic video games arcade so was definitely worth the trip today. It's a nice place and feels like a place you can hang for a day. Plenty of televisions for watching sports.The escape room was fun. Ryan who was our host was very friendly and very helpful....Lord knows the things he must see and hear as families work through things and argue like we did... but you get 60 minutes to get out and we did it with a minute to spare. There are a few other options for escape rooms so it does lend itself to return visits. I think the challenge was pretty fair and did require team work. We each were able to contribute so definitely a family friendly environment. We did the escape from Alcatraz. Three hints are given and they also are kind enough to give little baby hints along the way which helped us on our very first escape effort.They do have costumes that you can use to get into the spirit. Overall a fun time in the escape room and we'd do the other themes but definitely on Sunday with the discounts. We didn't do the axe throwing. The video game setup is either $12 for an hour of gaming from the first swipe (so don't swipe and then do the escape room) or $15 for four hours. Seemed to be no question that the four hours was best value. However, in hindsight an hour is plenty of time for games. After about two hours we were definitely getting weary of it, and after three hours we were ready to go...Just for clarification we did the video games after the escape room. I thought the food was pretty good. We had among us the boneless chicken wings (with BBQ flavor), chicken fingers basket, Timber Hamburger, a salad, and the chicken tacos. Probably came out to about $65 before tax and tip. Good and fun vibe from the staff there and some great nostalgia as the video arcade had among other favorites: Joust, Donkey Kong, PAC-man, Ms Pac-Man, punch out, track and field, operation wolf, zaxxon, and a slew of pinball games. Overall around $90 on video games, $150 for the escape room, $65 for the food. For six people about $50 more or less per person for a solid 4-5 hours o fun. Have to say fair value and a good time so we will be back.

"The best place to have some fun in Waxahachie! Very nice and clean and cool electronic boards."
"The arcade was really fun. Unfortunately we came on a Monday at lunch and none of the other attractions except bowling were open. 4 of us played for an hour on around 100 dollars. The young man assisting us seemed to be the only person working. He was very helpful and kind. There were very few things open to do with kids on a Monday so we waited several hours for this place to open and were disappointed that we could not do an escape room or anything else. It would be helpful if it indicated that only bowling and video games were available until 5."
