We had an awesome time! We tried the Paint Bomb Mission first and then came back to do the Slime Bomb Mission. Our group—kids and adults—loved the Slime Bomb Mission the most and preferred it over the paint one. Each mission feels totally different. We can’t wait to come back and try the Foam Mission!

Went here with family for kid’s 10th party. Exceeded expectations, games were fun and surprisingly tough… great mix of competition and collaboration, and the “game leaders” - Brendan and Mickey - we’re fantastic hosts. Looking forward to taking more groups here.

We had a BLAST here. From the moment we came in, we were greeted by Brendan and he made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. We did the Paint Bomb Mission. The four games were challenging, but we made it through. All staff were amazing: Henry, Juan, Jamie, Ahmed and Brendan! Thank you and we’ll be back!

Beat The Bomb is such a fun experience and perfect if you’re looking to do something different in Houston. The games are high-energy, interactive, and lowkey have you feeling like you’re on a game show. The staff is super friendly and explains everything clearly, so you’re not confused or stressed going in.
The rooms are intense but in a fun way, and the teamwork aspect makes it even better whether you’re with friends, family, or coworkers. And let’s be real… getting blasted with slime at the end is hilarious and makes the whole thing unforgettable. Overall, Beat The Bomb is exciting, unique, and 100% worth it if you want laughs, adrenaline, and memories you’ll be talking about after.

So I had made an online reservation for my group on Dec 26th at 5pm for the Arcade Bomb Battle. When we all arrived 15mins before our scheduled time, there was a very long line in front of us, and by the time my group and I had made it up to the front it had already been 15min PAST our original starting time. When we were finally getting checked in, an employee at the front had told us that one of their game bays were down and that we had to wait EVEN LONGER. It was then explained to us that despite making and pre-paying for a reservation at 5pm, the experience was still "first come first serve" and we had to wait for the other groups to finish despite them NOT having made a reservation. In total, my group had to wait AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES past our initial reservation time before we were able to play. We were given free drinks and the staff were very friendly, but unfortunately that doesn't really make up for the disappointing experience. I simply do not understand why there is even an option to have reservations when the experiences aren't even reserved for the time slot you chose????? Also when we ordered a single buffalo chicken dip to share, it took 50 MINUTES to come out and the portion size wasn't even enough for two people to share. The games were fun, however if you go here I recommend NOT making a reservation in advance, since its not even a reservation in the first place, and DO NOT order the food because the amount you get for the price and the wait is not worth it. ALSO if you opt to do the paint bomb, the white hazmat suits DO NOT protect your clothes underneath, so if you dont want to deal with any stains, wear something that you dont care about or something dark. I doubt I will ever return, unfortunately.
