It's No Conundrum Why This Place is Awesome
I am super sad to see this place go. After taking on their Sleepy Hollow room we decided to venture to Euless and try Double Agent. First off, I have to note that we met Meredith, one of the owners, at this location and she is awesome. It was so much fun to chat with another person who is as into escape rooms as we are. I think we spent more time talking about rooms than actually playing them while we were there. Now onto the room. This is an office based room, which fits the theme perfectly. The decorations were in line with the story and the time period. I was not disappointed in the slightest with the space, even the open windows (it was a gloomy day outside) added to the whole "travel office" setting. Once the door to the outside was closed, it was very immersive. The locks were a nice mix of combos and triggers. The puzzles were inventive, challenging, and fun. There were some really neat puzzles here that we hadn't seen yet. They all continued the storyline and worked with one another rather than feeling out of place as some often do. The whole group, us and two of our friends who have done a couple of other rooms also, really enjoyed the diversity of the puzzles and felt accomplished when we made it out. Afterward, we continued to chat with Meredith and ended up taking on our third room for the day, The Storyteller, so that I could make sure I got to experience it before it closed. I've always loved the Tales of the Arabian Nights so this one was right up my alley. Visually the room takes you on a journey from an open sky bazaar to a palace full of gold. It fits the storyline well and adds some interesting puzzles into the gameplay. The first part is primarily combo and directional locks, but then it progresses into triggers released by solving puzzles. I always love these because they are so unexpected. I got super focused on one puzzle so I missed a few of the ones everyone else was running around doing, but this is pretty standard for me. There were some great puzzles here that required an eye for detail and more than a little patience. One, in particular, required all four of us to resolve. In the end, we conquered the room and won our third game for the day. It was invigorating and thrilling. I wish that this company was still open so that I could send you all there right now to play these rooms. They are fantastic and the owners were really a pleasure to deal with.

Check this place out!
My wife and I did both their rooms at the Euless location and loved both of them. My favorite was the Double Agent room - the puzzles flowed great, made sense, and fit in with the story perfectly. If you are looking for something fun to do in the Dallas area I recommend checking this place out!
