Try Something New This Summer

Are you tired of the same old summer activities that you do every year in Lubbock? Swimming and enjoying the outdoors can be fun, but what about trying something new and exciting. Escape Room has come to Lubbock, and it is time for you to use your skills to break out of this interactive theater experience. You can read more at Lubbock on the Loop.


Open for 8 months now, Trapped! Escape the Room is located at 3521 50th Street (50th St & Knoxville). The cost is $20.00 per person, and if you’re a student it’s only $18.00. There is a recommended minimum age of 14 with an adult. Without an adult, minimum age of 16.

You must reserve the time slot in which your group wants to go, and reserving is super easy! Click hereto look at the schedule and book your adventure.

Lubbock’s version of this worldwide entertainment phenomenon currently has two different rooms:


The Playroom

2-5 people
“Harder” of the two rooms. We put it in quotes because each group will have its own strengths and weaknesses
Creepy atmosphere
Overall success rate of 34%


The Laboratory


3-8 people
“Easier” of the two rooms. We put it in quotes because each group will have its own strengths and weaknesses.
Science atmosphere
Overall success rate of 46%


We had a late night reservation for The Playroom. Keep in mind that this room is in no way scary (at least not until October). There aren’t snakes in the room, nobody pops out at you, and you won’t feel any random gusts of air. You are monitored via cameras the entire time by the staff and the walkie talkie allows you to be in constant communication. (Also use this to ask for hints!)


Ben told us that he will be switching out The Playroom by the end of summer with a new theme… Interrogation. He is planning to turn The Playroom even scarier around Halloween- an actual haunted room!

This is a really great way to work on team building (companies like Alamo Drafthouse have already been through here) and relationship building (hello, double dates). Work out that noggin and figure your way out of the room! If you escape with plenty of time to spare or if you stay trapped like us, you still get your picture taken. Your sign will either say “Escape Artist” or “We Suck” – only you can decide your fate!
