This was my family's first escape room and we jumped right in to the hardest one- The Haunting. We…read morewere a group of 5 (college age son and 3 teenagers-17, 16 and 14). We had so much fun! I probably should rate with 5 stars but since I don't have anything else to compare to I decided on 4 stars. Everything was explained to us (even how to unlock the varied types of locks). There were scares, noises and frightful distractions! This was great family bonding for us to all work together and even tho we didn't finish - we had a few more puzzles to solve but not bad for our first time. We can't wait to try another escape room! We plan on making another trip in the fall and bringing a few of our friends. Definitely recommend!!

Very excited for this Escape Room in Carbondale! I've done over 30 escape rooms, and I have to say…read moreJeff (the owner) adds a lot of charm to his rooms and is very clearly excited about what he does. It is a reasonable price per person, and you reserve your room online. When you arrive, you fill out a waiver, and Jeff will go through the story premise with you himself. Then you and your group will have 60 minutes to escape the room's puzzles! (although note the room is not actually locked, so one can enter/exit whenever, you just won't "win" until you figure out the last puzzle). I thought the room we did (Egypt) had a good balance of task completions, puzzles, and technology. There is a timer in the room and cameras for monitoring. You are also given a walkie-talkie in the event you need a hint (although each hint costs you your points! but the points don't really matter in the end). I look forward to see what else the Panic Room has in store for Carbondale and think the seasonal rooms are a great idea.

A fantastic evening team building with my community! I was finally able to compete in the battle…read morerooms! Each classic game was great to play and made me feel like I was on the real show! The pressure kicks in so that adds to the fun. I went with my fellow Yelp elite members so we had a large group so we played two rounds and ensured everyone got a a turn in 2 hours. The time really flies so enjoy every minute! A tip would be to come up with your best family friendly nickname so the MCs can call you to the stage! The two MCs were so welcoming and supportive of all of our members. They even made a few modifications for us who needed to be seated versus standing. That is a huge plus for mobility accessibility. The game room is not too noisy and all the words or numbers were large on the screen too for those with auditory concerns. The venue was very accessible and the restroom was gender neutral but I did not see a changing table to maybe leave the little littles at home. There is a room to set up banquet tables if you host a party to eat. They also sell juice, tea, lemonade, beer, seltzer, soda, and wines!

We played several different games, and every one of them was a blast. The space itself was really well done--it truly felt like a real game show with the lights, sound effects, and overall atmosphere. It added so much to the experience. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for something fun and different to do with a group. We'd absolutely come back!

The puzzles were challenging but we were still able to escape. There were a series of spaces each themed with different interactive props and puzzles. I have done about a dozen different escape rooms in the St. Louis area and this is one of the best in both puzzles and theming. Will need to come back to do one of the other rooms!

We noticed right away that their Sasquatch room was very highly rated for the ambiance and it 1000% did not disappoint! As we researched Boxed In some more, we noticed they do escape room marathons! You do all 5 of their rooms in one day and get a discount and a super fun marathon medal. This was music to our escape room junkie ears. Every single room was fantastic! We've done close to 100 escape rooms and this has been one of our favorites. Not only were the rooms put together well, and the puzzles were unique and challenging, but the staff was equally as incredible. Highly recommend if you're in the St Louis area!
