We came to Austin for a day trip, and visited a few things/did a few activities -- this was *BY FAR* the family favorite! Immersive, fun, great way to explore the city, clues were super well done, all the reveals were fun, just an all around incredible activity!" - Heather “Not your average scavenger hunt! The Escape the Box team put on a handcrafted game to get groups out solving clues together and seeing popular sites of Austin. Best part? No app, all game play is real clues, from a real box, with a real map. Yep it's pretty awesome” - Kenzie L, Rhythm Energy, 105 people, March 25th, 2026 "This was ingenious!
