11th Hour Escape Dallas

Escape Rooms are a new type of immersive adventure game, often used for entertainment with friends and family or as a team-building experience with corporate groups. ​ At 11th Hour Escape, groups are "locked" in a themed room and must solve clues, puzzles, and riddles within an hour in order to escape. Participants must be observant, explore the room, and use critical thinking to be successful.

Reviewed By arene66 - Dallas, United States

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.

Reviewed By geewalt - Plano, United States

Love the Angelika. They show a lot of independent and lesser known art films but also some mainstream movies. The thing that impresses me most is the audience is respectful of the movie going experience much more so than in the larger chain cinemas. Really like the occasional British National Theatre productions of filmed stage plays. If you like cinema as an art form, the Angelika is the place to be!
