Red Door didn’t start as a business, it started as a game…

...a very strange game in a church.

After playing his first escape game in October 2014, Dan Huynh discovered a passion for this new concept that has since exploded in popularity. He wanted to bring this amazing experience to the college students at his church and so decided to design his own escape game. It was meant to be an enjoyable game as well as a team building exercise for all players. He used his church’s century old building as the eerie setting for the game which also helped develop the story of the game as well. Thus, the escape episode ‘CONFINEMENT’ was created.

The participants loved the game and immediately requested another one be created. Because of the feedback, Dan began to consider how to bring this experience to even more people. After some research and brainstorming, Dan and his wife partnered with a long-time friend and together created Red Door Escape Room in Southlake, Texas. Their passion in providing communities with exciting memories and a new experience has grown so much over the years. Red Door Escape Room is constantly creating newer and better games – with plans to expand to many more locations to reach as many people as possible!

Today

Our Mission

We are on a mission to deepen relationships between people through creative entertainment.

We believe that in-person experiences are the best way to combat the pandemic of loneliness and isolation that marks our current time. That is why we ask you to unplug and reconnect when you’re with us, dropping the cell phone for just a few hours so that you can make memories with those you love

Our Values

People Over Profit

At Red Door, we believe that people are the end game, not the means. We believe that investing in people is the best way to steward our resources.

People is our first value because it is the foundation for why we exist as a business. Red Door does not exist simply to make money, we exist to make an impact in people’s lives. We do not provide a tangible human essential such as food or shelter, but we do support a basic human essential - the need for connection. We are in the business of building relationships and bringing joy to people. In a world that is becoming ever more digital, we facilitate the real human connection that is missing for so many people.

Growth Over Comfort

We believe that our greatest strength is our ability to learn quickly. We learn by doing - eagerly tackling new challenges by taking the first step.

We love feedback and our individual pride does not get in the way of our collective mission. We face the truth and tackle challenges head-on, no matter how scary, because we believe that challenges are opportunities to grow. One year of experience at Red Door is like two at most other companies, so it’s no wonder we have leaders who are far more capable than their age or experience might suggest.

AUTHENTICITY OVER IMAGE

We believe that only genuine people can make lasting impressions on those around them. We share our beliefs and intentions so that we can authentically connect with those we meet.

As a business, being authentic means that we communicate our beliefs and intentions with our guests and our team. We own our mistakes if we fall short of what we hope to deliver. As individuals, we have no need to put up a false front because we are inherently valuable as sons and daughters of God - we do not derive our worth from our actions, successes or failures. We believe that authenticity is foundational to our mission of building real relationships and let’s be honest with ourselves - we all want to work with authentic people.

GRATITUDE OVER ENTITLEMENT

We believe that our greatest strength is our ability to learn quickly. We learn by doing - eagerly tackling new challenges by taking the first step.

This value was originally “joy” but we believe that gratitude goes one level deeper: gratitude always leads to joy. We believe that we have much to be grateful for, no matter how challenging our current season may seem. We show gratitude by recognizing opportunities in front of us, by praising good work, and by celebrating the seasons. Our hope is that our gratitude rubs off on our guests and brings them joy when they come to a Red Door experience.

SERVANT LEADERSHIP
OVER TITLES

We value humility and we serve freely. Servant leadership turns the power pyramid upside down - instead of people working to serve the leader, the leader exists to serve the people.

The leaders at Red Door are the first ones to sacrifice for the team, the ones to make the hard decisions, and the ones to bear the weight of the consequences of their team, for better or for worse. We value humility, which means that we don’t reward pride or arrogance in our leadership- we are never too great to learn or make mistakes and we are always looking for how best we can serve.

TEAMWORK
OVER ALL-STARS

We believe that our greatest strength is our ability to learn quickly. We learn by doing - eagerly tackling new challenges by taking the first step.

Teamwork weaves through every aspect of Red Door - from our experiences to how we operate internally. We value our teammates because we know that the strength of the team is greater than the sum of its individuals. We hire people who are team players and who have the humility to put their team first.
