Texas Renaissance Festival Escape Rooms
Ticketing is online for pre-paid reservations, or at the door. We recommend booking in advance, as 'prime-time' slots sell out days or weeks ahead of time.
Your entire group will need to arrive no later than 15 minutes before your scheduled time, for introductions and rules. IMPORTANT: If you're late, you will either forfeit your session time, or have your time available on the clock reduced.
These escape rooms are for folks basically 13+ in age, please. Though the content is not "PG-13," per se, the difficulty level and nature/theme of the puzzle design is constructed for the non-child crowd. Also, at least one adult parent or guardian must be in the room with those under 18. Also, be as sober as possible—inebriated guests will be asked to leave, with no refunds.
Cost for the 20-minute Airy Botter adventure is $14.99 per person, and the 45-minute adventures are $29.99 per person, plus tax and fees, 4-person minimum purchase (8 people max).
You can also add people later in-person at the room if you like (up to the max 8).
These are private bookings, meaning you won't be grouped with people outside your team.
HEY! Really important: These tickets are a separate admission from the General Admission Festival tickets. Be SURE you've bought your festival tickets first, to be positive you can get in, and then buy your Escape Adventure tickets!

foreboding alleyway in London, outside the reinforced door to a hideout of
notorious privateers accused of unsanctioned piracy. Your job is to defeat
their security and unlock the door, so you all can arrest the criminals, and
confiscate their treasures!

COMPETITION ROOMS
"The King's Guard" & "The Pirates' Dilemma" rooms can be played by two groups in competition: both groups will start at the same time, with 45 minutes maximum on the timer. If the Guard can get into the Pirate hideout before the pirates finish hiding their booty, the Guards win. If the Pirates can hide everything first, they win.
The
'losing' team will still be allowed the rest of the time left on their clock to
solve their puzzles… but they'll not get Winner's Badges at the end. If you wish to compete with people you know, you'll
need to book both rooms at the same time, 4 people minimum per adventure room,8 people maximum
per room.
