Since the beginning of November, several new businesses have opened in the Austin, Cedar Park and Leander areas, including pet grooming and boarding facilities, an auto shop and an escape room in which attendees must solve puzzles in 62 minutes in a themed room.

Now Open

Located next door to Fitness Love Yoga, The Escape Room opened at 2403 S. US 183, Ste. 105, Leander, on Nov. 1. The family-friendly activity allows patrons to solve about 12-14 puzzles in 62 minutes in a room that rotates themes, said owner David Steele. The ultimate goal is to solve all puzzles to escape from the room, he said. The Poker Room theme opened Jan. 6 and Steele plans to open a Myths of Leanded-themed room in early 2016. The Escape Room is $20 per person and is for anyone age 5 and older. www.escaperoomleander.com
