Escape Room Adventures
2024 brings four escape adventures to the Texas Renaissance Festival, in a giant, Air-Conditioned location! Booth 87 at the entrance to the Enchanted Forest.
AIRY BOTTER & THE SORCERY SCHOOL HEADMASTER'S OFFICE: Your Headmaster 'Almost Stumbledoor' needs your help! The school is being attacked by non-copyright-infringing dark forces, and you must get word to the Department of Sorcery! Can you rescue Boarcorn's Academy in time?
AIRY BOTTER & THE ALCHEMIST'S LAB: Professor Plumbum has lost his mind and is going to set off an "Alchemy Bomb" using the Philosopher's Kidney Stone to turn the world's gold into lead! Using magic and technology, can you save the world's economy (and jewelry)?
THE PIRATES' DILEMMA: Your plucky band of privateers are enjoying their ill-gotten gains in your hideout when your Captain sends word the King's Guard are attempting to break in and take you all to the Tower of London! Can you hide all the rum bottles and doubloons in their secret hidey-holes before the soldiers defeat your security and catch you red-handed?
THE KING'S GUARD: As soldiers representing His Majesty the King, you are charged with upholding the law. You have been sent to a dark, 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!
Scavenger Hunt
A 1-3 hour on average, self-paced, fun filled, multi-puzzle scavenger hunt that take Patrons around New Market meeting characters, visiting booths, and solving puzzles in order to ultimately redeem their puzzle solving skills for a souvenir.
Dragon Forge Experience
Forge Your Own Metal Adventure from the Mouths of Fire Breathing Dragons
Welcome to the realm of dragons! This is not your average blacksmith demonstration; join us for an adventure in which YOU wield the hammer to forge your own piece. We bring you beyond the barrier of observer and into the forge itself. Here, you become the hero of your very own blacksmithing adventure. Your unique memento begins to glow in the breath of our fire breathing forges and is at the command of your hammer blows with the guidance of our professional smiths. An interactive, hands-on, blend of history and fantasy that is fiery forging fun for the whole family ages 6 and up. No skills needed.
Are you brave enough to stand the heat of the Dragon Forge Experience? Walk-ins welcome with availability or saveth some time and bookth online.
Tea and Strumpets
Hosted once daily, high above the bustle of New Market Village, this full meal experience provides an interlude of respite in your whirlwind of a day. Bottomless pots of tea with a hearty array of sweets and savories are served at tables you fill with friends. Luscious treats hand baked by our sister shop, Queen's Pantry, paired with Tea and Strumpets' Signature Savories are presented to you in a relaxed, indulgent atmosphere with enough personal space to enjoy it all.
