Take up the challenge of Frisco Escape Room

Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account

Posted by Frisco Escape Room on Tuesday, December 1, 2015

Frisco Escape Room promises lots of excitement, fun, laughter, challenges, and perhaps even small doses of frustration! Get locked in a room with hidden clues, and search each and every nook for clues, making use of all of your senses to escape before it is too late! The rooms may seem ordinary to start with, but they are actually part of a very challenging mind-game where you have to really use your mind and give your brain a good work out to secure your release. Find hidden objects, figure out the clues, and get the key to the exit. Being one of the best escape rooms in the country, you can claim bragging rights once you beat the puzzle and get out in time.

Started by two local residents who felt that Frisco needed a few more activities to spice things up, Frisco Escape Room is a must-visit. It is great for team-building experiences and also offers a fast-paced family experience.

My friends and I had all been to other escape rooms, but were unanimously impressed by the 2nd one in the school house. Eddie C (from Yelp)

Some fun things are happening at Two Below Zero!

Posted by Two Below Zero Dinner Sleigh Rides and Summer Chuckwagon on Friday, December 28, 2018

Treat yourself to an old-fashioned sleigh ride and enjoy almost an hour on the round trip that starts and ends at Frisco Nordic Center. You can either choose to take a private sleigh ride or a group tour. The private sleigh rides are more romantic and preferable for families and newly-weds.

A beautiful and elegant horse coupled with an equally dashing red sleigh, which has a capacity of four, awaits those who prefer the private sleigh trip. A cowboy acting as your chauffeur will bring you to the isolated site for your short yet romantic time. Disembark the sleigh, take pictures, have some warming cocoa, and then head back to the Nordic Center.

For those on the Hot Cocoa Sleigh Rides as part of a group tour, the sleigh may be different but you can still expect complimentary cocoa and an additional 20-minute live music show by a talented entertainer. No matter which trip you choose, you are bound to have an unforgettable experience
