What to do in Houston when it rains

What to do in Houston when it rains? While our escape games are primarily outdoors, the city offers many covered walkways, galleries, and arcades, especially Downtown, which provide shelter from light showers. Additionally, puzzles can be solved by briefly taking cover under an awning or in a cafe. A wet-weather activity can thus become a more intimate exploration of Houston, where reflections on the pavement and city lights create a unique atmosphere. Bring an umbrella and let yourself be surprised by Houston's charms in the rain.
