📖 THE STORY
In 1914, Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic Expedition on the Endurance ended with the ship trapped and sunk in the Weddell Sea, stranding the crew for over 16 months. Their survival stories were overshadowed by World War I.
In 2002, Captain Henry Furler led an expedition to find the Endurance. He reported discovering the ship in December but then disappeared. Satellite images reveal an entrance to Furler's icy tunnel. Your mission is to explore the ice shaft, find the lost ships, uncover the crew's fate, and escape!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
From the moment we stepped into this room, the "wow" effect hit us full force! The special effects were so immersive (you could actually feel the COLD!) that we completely forgot we were still in Texas, inside an escape room. The set design was absolutely stunning from start to finish, perfectly aligning with the storyline. We felt like we were being transported from one incredible space to another at every turn!
The ending was an exhilarating cliffhanger! We felt like genuine adventure explorers, and that triumphant moment at the end was like uncovering a treasure lost for centuries.
The physical puzzles staged throughout the game made us feel like we were in real-life scenarios. We had a blast solving them.
The puzzles weren't overly difficult, but the best part was how everything made sense. The puzzles, combined with the storyline, painted a complete picture of the thrilling adventure we were on.
The lights, sounds, and hidden reveals were flawlessly paired with each scene. It felt like experiencing chapters of an epic movie!
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Nothing to mention here because we loved every moment of the adventure from beginning to end!
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
We are absolutely thrilled to have ended our Texas escape room tour with this incredible game! It was a true hidden gem, and we couldn't be happier to have stumbled upon it. Our only prior knowledge of Shackleton and his crew came from an "At home puzzle game" called Shackleton Series by Mobile Escape. Experiencing it brought to life by Locktopia was nothing short of amazing. If you're eager for an immersive escape room adventure, make sure to add this to your must-visit list when you're in Houston, Texas next time!
