Fun and interactive—a great group activity! - I did Escape the Box with three friends and we had a great time! The entire experience took about 90 minutes. There were clues to follow and puzzles to solve, all of which led us to different stops on South Congress. My friends and I all live in Austin, so these were all places we'd been before, but Escape the Box gave us a new way to experience them, and it made us look at things that we'd walked past without noticing probably dozens of times before. The hosts were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. There was a minor and good-natured competitive element to it. All in all, a great way to spend an afternoon in good weather, and I'd recommend it to locals and out-of-towners.

Perfect activity in downtown Austin! - Working with Mark was super fun and easy. We had a corporate meeting in Austin and this was the highlight of the trip. Everyone had a blast and it was great to be outside, checking downtown Austin and just having a good time. Thank you Mark for making this a great experience for our team.

Great fun in Austin - This was ingenious! Very fun, well planned, great box of tools, well worth the two hours. We laughed and learned. Drs Mc Clocker and Continuum were wonderful. I highly recommend!

Escape the Box = escape boredom! SO FUN!! - This was absolutely amazing! We came to Austin for a day trip, and visited a few things/did a few activities -- this was *BY FAR* the family favorite! We'll do it again sometime - we did the 6th Street version, and are already hoping to return for the Congress one, and keeping an ear out for future stuff!
Immersive, fun, great way to explore the city, clues were super well done, all the reveals were fun, just an all around incredible activity!

Do it - Found this randomly on Do512, and it was a lot of fun. There were 5 of us, and it took right at 1.5 hr. We had an eclectic group of mutual friends and my mom, not everyone knew each other, but that didn't matter. The clues were incredibly well curated, and we laughed a lot.

You won’t regret it! It’s great! - Great way to explore Congress! Fun clues that lead you to some of Austin’s most iconic places. I would suggest doing this on a day that isn’t too hot but if the heat doesn’t bother you, go for it!! Will definitely do their other tour next time we are in town!
