If a zero could be given, that would be the rating. One of the clues was a tape recording. Our team spent eight minutes trying to understand what the clue was. We played it over and over again trying to understand what the person was saying. We even wasted two clues over the recording. Finally one of our team mates took the recorder up to the staff at the front desk and asked them to make sense of it. They stated that someone must have recorded over the clue. We told them the amount of time we wasted on a dead end clue, however they only offered two minutes back to us for the wasted time.

We came to do two escape rooms during a birthday trip to Waco. Hall of Fame was definitely our FAVORITE for our group of 4! We had such a fun time that we booked two more rooms for the next day. Staff was super friendly especially Madison who was AMAZING!!

This was my second visit to these escape rooms and they have improved since my first visit shortly after they opened. However, after reading the reviews here and seeing that others have mentioned the same thing, it is worth mentioning that two of the locks were opened, and two of the features were broken. There was also no story with clues as you find with other escape room companies. When I mentioned to one of the employees that two of the locks didnt work, he said Its supposed to be that way, theyre broken. (That made no sense) If we go again, we will call first to make sure we

A group of my friends planned an escape room, one of them brought along their baby, we all checked in, headed to our escape room and then we were told that the baby is considered a player and would need to be charged the $20 to enter the room, no where on their website, terms and conditions, or even at the front desk was there any information that a BABY is still considered a player and would need to be charged the fee, only information I can find in their terms and conditions regarding children is: "Waco Escape Rooms requires players under the age of 16-year be accompanied by at least one

Went for a friend's birthday. The room was fun, however, they charged us for a 5 month old baby. Paying $20 for an infant who has to come with because the mom is breastfeeding and baby won't take a bottle is outrageous. Will not be going back because the company itself does not support women and mothers. If they are going to be charging full price for infants they need to state this on their website to warn parents of this outrageous price gouging.
