Countdown 2 Escape
Average Rating: 5.0 (10+ reviews)
We came here for a birthday party and it was my first escape room experience. First off, you wait in the main lobby the get briefed and they space had a water tank and was comfortable, nothing fancy. The staff was great about waiting for our entire group to arrive as some were close to 30 minutes late. We did the Cold War one and it was great. I will describe, but won't give any detail as to not give it away.

The space was smaller than I expected but our group of 10 fit nicely and it forced us to be in close proximity. It took us awhile to get the first clue but once we got it we got rolling. We got stuck a few times and even though they said they would only provide 3 clues, they ended up giving us more and we finished with 3 minutes to go. They came in and then explained the process of putting the room together. What creative people!
The "Cold War" room was awesome! However, I dont know which was better, the family that own this place or the experience! Great people! Welcoming! Fun! You name it, this is the place to go!

We had family in for the holiday and decided to try the Cold War room. Only a few had done an escape room before. Ages ranged from 12-60 in our group and everyone was able to contribute to tracking down and decoding the clues. It was challenging and a lot of fun. The staff was really friendly and helpful- we could not have completed the mission without them. They made it fun. It was a great way to entertain the whole group. The waiting room has card games on each table which I thought was a clever way to keep people entertained if they arrive early and have to wait. Would definitely go again.

Went today (my first time!) with my husband and son. We did the Cabin room. It was awesome! The puzzles were challenging, but we had a blast trying to figure them out, thinking through all the clues in the room and getting the locks opened. They'll give you hints if you need them (we did). The owner, Danny, and our "tour guide" Andrew were wonderful; really went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. And we did! We will be going back for the Casino room.

Lots of fun! We came here last night with a group of 8. Some of us had done escape rooms before, some of us this was a first time! We did the Cabin room, and the room itself is built really well and super cute! They have a mini cabin built out and it helps set you in the game.

This was my third room, and it had by far the best orientation before the game - very informative. We are given a walkie-talkie to communicate, and you are allowed to ask for up to 3 hints and get code checks.
We were told that the room had a 35% success rate, but with our team of 8 fairly high performing young adults just out of college, we were able to finish the game in 30 minutes. We did not find it too challenging, and while it was fun I kinda feel like we only got half of our money's worth since we finished so quickly. :P But chances are high that we would be back to try the more challenging rooms.
What a blast!! Staff were awesome and the Cabin was so much fun! Ready to go back for the other rooms! It's a must do if your in Frisco and worth the drive if you aren't!
