Our total group consisted of 16 people. We split into two groups to each enjoy an escape room. The participants ranged in age from 15-17, all high school young men. They absolutely enjoyed the intrigue and raved about how much fun each of the Escape Rooms were. We will definitely be back with our other youth groups. The adults were intrigued and really enjoyed the thrill of watching the youth be so excited. The staff was overly attentive and more than helpful in every aspect of our adventure. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience.

Red door sets the standard for escape room. This was my 7th red door episode and I was in the area they had a room theme I didn’t have back in OK. So check all branches! The rooms are immersive different sections and clues are interactive as containers can pop open, move, or be hidden. Make sure to use clues early and often if you are stuck for too long. Most rooms have 3 sections so try and time no longer than 20 min a section. I will continue to do any new episodes I see as a red key member. Definitely worth the time and money and great way for friends or couples to use their brains and help each other figure puzzles for an hour.

We are new to the Area and learned of this fantastic church through word-of-mouth. The services here are as inspiring as I have ever seen. The message comes through loud and clear, and full of the Holy Spirit. The electronics and acoustics of this church are a marvel to behold, the congregation itself is visible and spiritually exciting and the vibes you walk out of church with are sure to help you through the week with Jesus by your side.

Finally found a decent park in Plano. This place almost has it all. Just missing a pond/lake, but has a creek running through it along with trails to explore the wooded area. Also has paved trails, lookout tower, and picnic pavilion. Great place to walk and enjoy nature! We visited on a Sunday and it was fairly quiet and less crowded than we expected! Even saw some wildlife roaming the wooded areas! We’ll return and hopefully it won’t be crowded then too!
