Recently we visited Escape Hunt Dallas. Imagine you are in a room and you are trying to figure out who stole The famous Texas Lone Star. Stolen from a museum near Dealay Plaza. Being new to Texas you, pull up your cowboy boots and you accept the challenge. You have 60 minutes before the museum opens to save the day. With a few clues and the clock is ticking. It’s more tense than trying to find Carmen San Diego. Ok for the millennial you will have no idea what I am talking about. What I liked about this family outing. This allows for 60-90 minutes of no screen time and face-to-face interaction.
