Really fun! We did 2 in one day. We did the barber shop and Wongs and couldnt escape either, but they were both super fun! 10/10 would recommend. Also love their replies to any 1 star reviews they have. Anyone thats rated this place under 5 starts obviously hasnt been here and has no clue what theyre talking about.

We took a group of 9 people ranging from age 10 to 63. Everyone had a blast. We experienced Mr. Wongs kitchen. It kept us busy and on our toes. Taz was our room master and he was an excellent host. We will definitely be returning for a new adventure soon.

We do a lot of escape rooms and this has been one of our favorites! Escape rooms are one thing we can do as a family where the parents and the teenaged kids can have a good time. The Perfect Escape did not disappoint and we ended up booking all three rooms in one day. Super challenging with puzzles you don't see every day. Even the rooms with common themes manage to have unexpected twists and turns. Highly recommend.

BEST ESCAPE ROOM IN DALLAS. I have been to at least 10 different escape rooms in the DFW area and this is the most fun one I have been to by far. Also shout out to Joey for being the best game master I have ever had! HIGHLY recommend! Will be coming back to The Perfect Escape!
