Escape to Conservation

We’re Proud to Announce Our San Antonio Zoo Partnership!

There are a few places that every local and visitor has to experience at least once when they’re in the Alamo City. The San Antonio Zoo is one of those places.

The zoo in San Antonio, TX is seriously impressive – and not just because it’s 35 acres of animal awesomeness. You can easily spend an entire day checking out over 3,500 animals, interacting with exotic beasts (feed a flamingo or giraffe!) and enjoying special events throughout the year. The zoo is also sponsoring amazing work to fulfill their conservation mission.

The San Antonio Zoo is working with partners around the world on three continents and across the U.S. to make a difference in the animal kingdom. Their team is conducting transnational research and participating in projects that are focused on preserving endangered species and imperiled ecosystems. Right now their work is helping fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects and crustaceans.

That’s why Extreme Escape is partnering with the San Antonio Zoo to raise awareness and help preserve animals and ecosystems that make Texas such a unique environment.

Play a San Antonio Escape Room to Help the Zoo Reintroduce the Texas Horned Lizard

Want to contribute to the San Antonio Zoo’s conservation efforts? We’re offering guests an opportunity to both save on their next visit to Extreme Escape and help raise funds for the Texas Horned Lizard Reintroduction and Conservation Program.

At one time the Texas Horned Lizard was a common sight around the Lone Star State. They were so common the species was named the state reptile of Texas. Today, it’s rare to see them out in the wild. So rare, the San Antonio Zoo is breeding Texas Horned Lizards and plan to reintroduce them to natural habitats. The program utilizes genetics technology, GIS data and a wealth of information gathered about the lizard’s ecology. The project was launched in 2016, but funds are still needed to complete a lizard room at the zoo that will house dozens of breeder lizards.

Use the San Antonio Zoo Discount Code to Help Out

It’s time to become a conservationist! Every guest that uses code “REPTILE19” will get $3 off when booking at extremeescape.com. But that’s not all. Extreme Escape will also donate $5 of the proceeds to the San Antonio Zoo to help aid their conservation work.

Extreme Escape Answers: What is an Escape Room?

What is an escape room? Is it an exciting challenge that tests your problem-solving smarts? Does it transport you to another time and place? Is it one of the most thrilling live action experiences you’ll get in San Antonio?

The answer is – it’s all that and more.

If you haven’t tried a San Antonio escape room you’re missing out on one of the latest game crazes. Step away from the screens and immerse yourself in an unbelieveable world within your own reality!

The Objective of the Game

No two escape rooms are alike, but the objective is always the same. You want to get out of the room before the time runs out.

The question then is, how do you get out of the room? This is where things get fun. There are clues and puzzles throughout the room that must be solved in order to win your freedom. Just about anything in the room could be what you need to solve the puzzle and move on to the next task.

If your group can band together and work your way through all the various clues you’ll escape before the timer seals your fate!

The Elements of an Escape Room in San Antonio

There are lots of fun things to do in San Antonio, but an escape room offers a unique experience you can’t find in many places. It’s like virtual reality, but you’re actually in the middle of the game. Here’s what you can expect to find in a San Antonio escape room:

The Room

The room is a large space that has been completely transformed from floor to ceiling. Every inch of the decor is related to the room’s storyline. The designers go into painstaking detail in order to completely immerse the players in the game. The goal is to make the players feel transported the second that walk through the door.

Puzzles

When you enter the escape room your first puzzle may be given to you or easy to find. One puzzle will lead you to the next as you work your way through the room. There should be several types of puzzles in a single room, so don’t base the rest of them on the first one.

Objects and Clues

Just about anything in the room is fair game to use. You never know what could be a clue or tool. That said, clues should be organically placed so that they look like a regular piece of the decor.

Timer

The timer is displayed on a screen to help you keep track or decide if you need to ask the Game Master for a clue.

Extreme Escape is one of the must-see San Antonio attractions your family won’t want to miss! We have multiple escape rooms for all ages at each location. Call today or book online to instantly reserve your escape room!

Explore These 5 Indoor Activities in San Antonio During the Cold Season

It may only be cold for a few months in San Antonio, but that’s long enough for cabin fever to set in if you’re holed up in the house all day. While braving the less than ideal elements may not be your idea of fun, there are local indoor attractions that can keep you entertained all winter long.

Here are a few indoor activities in San Antonio worth checking out!

Visit the San Antonio Museum of Art

San Antonio has a vibrant art scene that spans cultures and countries. The San Antonio Museum of Art is a mecca for art lovers but can also be appreciated by people who aren’t avid art consumers. This isn’t your typical art museum. It’s housed in multiple conjoined buildings, which have enough space to house exhibits with 5,000 years worth of various art. It’s one of the few museums in the world where you’ll see oil paintings, handcrafted furniture, fine jewelry and pieces made with found objects all in the same place.

Pet Sea Creatures at the San Antonio Aquarium

The San Antonio Zoo and SeaWorld are mostly outdoor attractions. However, at the San Antonio Aquarium you can get an up close look at animals and still enjoy climate control. There are dozens of tanks filled with a variety of sea creatures found off the coast of Texas and beyond. If you’re not afraid to get wet you can pet a stingray or feed some of the aquatic wildlife.

See If You Can Get in the Books at the Guinness World Records Museum

Humans are capable of amazing feats. Nothing puts that in perspective like the Guinness World Records Museum. The popular publication comes to life at this San Antonio location where you’ll be treated to spectacles like real artifacts, live shows and interactive games.

You can even try to make it into the record books! There’s an attempt arena where you can try to make the best time to earn your spot in the Guinness World Records.

Chunk Dangerous Objects at Class Axe Throwing

Throwing chunky sharp objects may seem like an outdoor activity, but at Class Axe Throwing it can be done indoors. Professionals will first show you how to safely and properly throw an axe. Once you get the hang of it you can play target games that are similar to darts or bowling. Class Axe Throwing is BYOB, however it may be best to leave the beer at home when you’re tossing blades.

Try to Get Out of a San Antonio Escape Room

Inside of an escape room in San Antonio you’ll completely forget what it’s like outside. An escape room is like a lifesize video game where you’re transported to another time and place. The whole goal is to make it feel like you’re in another world, which is exactly what happens in the Extreme Escape games.

Up to 10 players have an hour to explore a themed escape room full of props, clues and puzzles. It’s an indoor maze with unexpected twists and turns around every corner. But don’t get too distracted by the elaborate environment. You only have 60 minutes to figure out a way to escape the room!

Experience the Newest San Antonio Escape Room in Stone Oak

Ready to see if you have what it takes to escape four more rooms? Extreme Escape was the first to bring an escape room to San Antonio, and we’re doing it again!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve opened a second San Antonio escape room location in Stone Oak. It’s a totally new generation of escape room game experiences created by theme park pros. Our new escape rooms take the thrill of getting out to a whole new level with:

  • Multiple chamber experiences.
  • Technology-based interactive puzzles and games.
  • Special effects never before seen in an escape the room game.

Our northwest San Antonio escape room is every bit of as exciting as our original location. If you’ve already taken on the escape rooms in Colonnade see if you can make it out of our latest challenging scenarios while there’s still time!

See if You Can Get Out of a Stone Oak Escape Room

We’ve created a whole new selection of escape rooms that will heighten every sense as you work to solve the clues before the clock runs out. Each room has a unique theme that transports players into a new world that’s unlike anything else you’ll find in San Antonio.

Cursed

When you enter the Cursed room you’ll swear you’ve just walked into the depths of an enchanted forest. From a cabin in the woods you and your team must learn how to overcome an evil witch before she captures your soul and traps you in the room.

Encounter

Have you ever wanted to travel to the darkest corners of the universe? Encounter is your chance to venture into outer space where a man-eating alien waits for you and your crew. Figure out how to restore power to your spaceship so you can escape in time.

The Other Side

Step into The Other Side. This paranormal experience is inspired by the alternate dimension craze that’s sweeping the nation. Find out if you have the courage and wits to get past supernatural creatures and rescue a lost boy before it’s too late.

The Lost Tomb

Get a taste of what it’s like to be Indiana Jones in The Lost Tomb. Navigate through hidden chambers to recover artifacts before the eclipse obliterates your chance of escaping.

Each Stone Oak escape room is appropriate for adults and teens, but young kids under 12 may want to stick to Encounter and The Lost Tomb. No matter how old you are, trying to escape the room just got four times more fun in San Antonio!
