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!

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!

They also have a small café area where you can get drinks and snacks during or before your adventure. Our expert librarian, Jack was very helpful and entertaining, helping us along our journey that day. It's a very creative spin on escape rooms. There were groups of children doing adventures as well, so it seems like it's good fun for all ages. I love that you can go through the adventures at your own pace and don't have a time limit. I also like that we were able to do an adventure where we battled in teams within our group. I think that was really exciting in a good spin! I enjoyed my visit and look forward to doing more adventures in the future!

This was a pretty great experience! I've done a few different escape rooms around the city and you…read morecould tell this one was definitely new. We did the Timeliner room and thought the puzzles and set up were cool. We didn't ask for clues, but the person leading us along did offer up some nudges when we were stuck (or never going to get there). They even commented on how we found some things, so you know they were watching! One of my hang ups here was the online booking. I understand they want to fill every spot in a room, but I don't think every room should be open to multiple parties. Maybe there needs to be something asking if people are open to people they don't know. It's also nice when places offer a discount the more people book in your party. Other than the booking situation, I would definitely do another room here!

Cons: not as immersive as other escape rooms, we did the saloon heist and it was only 2 rooms big, didn't have any special effects, but it was still fun! One thing I do wish is that they had any type of background music or sounds, it could've really added to the vibe. Overall I do think it was a pretty great experience for the price!

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.

I took my family here as a Christmas present and there were 4 of us. We did the Cardinals escape…read moreroom and it was a BLAST. Our game master was extremely helpful in giving us hints when needed but not giving too many things away. We ended up escaping with less than a minute left! This was a very difficult challenge but it is such a reward to finish and I'm glad we made it out! My only tip would be to be sure to bring reading glasses, if you need additional visual assistance for close up text. There will be lots of situations where you will need to read slightly smaller fonts.

We think the optimal group is 6 with 3 starting in the first two rooms. This room was more challenging than the Diamond Heist but both were great fun ! We highly recommend parking in the parking garage just south of the building. Do not confuse the parking with the parking lot for the apartment complex a block south of the building. This was probably our 15th escape room and one of the best in the St Louis area. Mastermind is cleaner and a better designed venue than most.

The different holes makes it feel like you can literally interact with it and not just hitting the ball and moving on. We arrived before the huge crowd and were able to take our time with each course, but once the evening crowd comes, it gets packed in there. But you will be able to reserve a time slot online. The business also provides various themed escape rooms, unique pinball machines, and a bookshelf of board games while you're waiting on your time slot. Regarding the pinball machines, make sure you bring your own quarters to use them since it doesn't seem like they have a quarter machine.

We were intent on going to Escape from St. Louis so we could head to The Blue Duck for dinner after. When times disappeared from the booking I decided to call and see what we could do. On speaking with the manager, after closing the bookings to allow for maintenance she indicated she thought she could still get us in so we could have our family night. She made it happen! The five of us arrived at the allotted time and our hostess was ready to go, explaining the process and getting us going. We had a GREAT time! Fun Wizard theme, great clues, we loved some of the tricks when we figured them out. We 'Escaped' with just seconds to spare, thanks, in part, to our great hostess and clues. Can't wait to go back and try a different Escape! The takeaway is great management, great staff, fun rooms, book your Escape here :)
