The Escape Room : we played Jack the Ripper. Frustrated by furniture that didn't open as it should causing major delays in solving puzzles. There was a dresser that's drawers should open to reveal s clue. We attempted to open in the 1st 2 min of the game and it didn't open (even with force) it wasn't until 30 min into the game we attempted again after a hint said to and the game master came into the room and fixed the problem (opened the drawer that was stuck) hidden was a clue we would have found in those first 2 min , but couldn't until 30 min in... that cost us 30 min in a 60 min play. Worn out /broken props are a real issue in this type of game. I wouldn't visit this location again knowing they don't care for their props and games as they should. Cool concept, however.

Went there for throwing axes and had an amazing 75 min session. Our coach was attentive, engaging and gave options for those who cannot throw with much force. Highly recommend this place. They have good drinks and appetizer too.

Spend a good part of the Sunday evening at this place. It has a nice vibe. We had booked an axe throwing session here for a group of 7. We had an instructor with us the entire 1.5 hours and she taught us the technique and even kept score for the 4 different games that we played. We loved the experience since we were all first-time-axe-throwers. We decided to stick around and do an escape room experience as well. We got one of the easier rooms because that's all that was available last minute. The room was well thought out and pretty fun. The instructions given to us initially were clear and perfect. We managed to escapee, which added to the fun. We also bought 1 hour of gaming time in the arcade arena. I never thought playing on the old pin ball machines would be so much fun. Note: this is one of the cheapest escape room/axe throwing places around the DFW area. They also have a bar but we did not try any food or drinks. Really fun place for a chilled out hang out. Pro tip: book online to save.

they force you to pay in advance and its a ridiculous amount of money to just throw axes. They started the time we paid for even though we had some people running late, and they don't have servers. No servers meant you had to leave you axe throwing station to go grab drinks, and the clock doesn't stop.
Its not like the place was packed and we couldn't just extend our time slightly.

Just got married yesterday. Coming from north Texas area just to get away for a couple of days during this pandemic. Corky’s was a great place to have some drinks and throw some axes. We booked a reservation online and paid through there. All we had to do is show up and they had it ready for us. Tony, our Axe Throwing guide, led us through a route safety course and demonstrated the proper techniques of the sport. You have 75 mins of pure fun and games. We came on a Saturday morning (11:30) and had no problem getting it. Manager gave us complimentary pizza while we were here. Definitely coming back to beat my wife (who beat me) at the games. I must claim revenge.

I've been to Corky's twice now. Both times my party had a great time. Ax throwing is a blast and the instructors are fabulous. The different games throwing the ax are super fun. First time we had private because there were so many of us but the second time we played with three ladies we didn't know (5 of us 3 of them). We volunteered to even the teams out and one of us joined with them. Great way to meet new people and it made it more fun that way.
Drinks and appetizers were very good. You can eat while you play or come early and stay after to hang out. We didn't do the escape room so no review for that but cool it's an option. The limitless arcade cards for a set period of time are very reasonably priced. Our group ranged from teens, young adults, and 40'/50's and it was equally fun for all. You also can just go for food and drinks. It's a very inviting and casually fun environment. I highly recommend this place.

We came to Corky's this past weekend and tried an escape room for the first time. The employee who was our helper during the escape room was very attentive and engaging.
The entire staff was very accommodating and helpful. We had a blast! I highly recommend Corky's!

We took our family of 5 here and had a great time!! Even our 7 year old (along with our 11 & 13 year olds) had a good time in the escape room with the rest of us. Food was delicious, service was impeccable, and it was an overall awesome fun family day!! I accidentally booked the escape room twice and was charged for it, but the staff was very helpful and accommodating to get everything corrected. I highly recommend Corky’s to everyone! It makes a great family day, date night, or just a day/night out with friends (they have ace throwing too)!!

This is the 2nd consecutive year that we've celebrated my teen son's birthday at Corky's. Last year we mastered the Jungle escape room, and this year we narrowly beat Jack the Ripper. The escape stories are cleverly contrived, and the experience gets all our family members working together. I feel the cost is fair for an hour of entertainment. Also, the staff are professional and fun to interact with.

We had a business event with 12 people and it was a great experience. Connor showed everyone in the group how to best throw the axe and stayed with us the whole time through several different games including Tic Tac Toe, 31, Blackjack, and the top thrower. The drinks were good as well. Will definitely be back.
