I still haven't made it out to Top of the Hill yet. Need to do that some sunny spring Saturday afternoon...

Saw a Facebook ad for another escape room/experience place opening in Downtown Bryan called "Rooms." So that makes 3 of these places coming....is that really necessary? They are the new "taco places" of BCS...

I think it's kind of like the Clue board game except they lock you in a room until you figure it out.
quote:this sounds cool. looking forward to checking it out. wonder what ages it is appropriate for? who's it geared for? families, teens, adults?
Not like people publish I am going to open X business so they may not be aware of each other until they open. I do know the people who are opening in Woodstone and they are very professional and detailed. They have visited rooms in multiple countries and even licensed some rooms from some of the popular venues. It will not be a afterthought operation.
We will find out if three or more is to many. I think there are 16 in Austin from one list I have seen.

I have adult friends who go to it and love it.

I heard there may be a sky zone coming to BCS. Anyone else know?
quote:You're correct. I was thinking about Hyatt House. Is the Hyatt House still going to be built near the Bryan Target? Has construction started?
TRYP by Wyndham is going in at the old Aggieland Inn/Ramada Inn by Jason's Deli. Unless there is a 2nd one going up in Bryan
quote:drove by and saw it today. do they have a local fb page or local website to find out more info?

quote:Not sure, but I think that it is going to be a much larger gas station like Stripes (former Chick's).
My apologies if this has been posted; what is the new development across the street from Allen Academy?
quote:Probably. A guy with Stripes told me that the company plans to move into this area in a big way. Have heard that they may be building 2 more in Bryan and 1 in CS.
Not in BCS, but it looks like there's a Stripes going up in Navasota.
quote:So they took what it currently looks like and added tables in front of it?
Drawing of what Ice House will look like.

I've talked with the guy overseeing this. There is a lot more going on than just tables on the outside. It will be great...or YUGE, to paraphrase the Donald.
