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 loved all of the games literally. There was not one game that we didn't have fun in. I do feel like it was very competitive as it should be and I love that. They offered drinks as well. The hosts were both amazing and they were literally made to do that job. I can't wait to try it again with my family and friends!

About half of us had done an escape room before, so we could compare differences to how Adventures of Intrigue worked. Here's the feedback: Adventures of Intrigue is really great for those that want to do an escape room without the heavy pressure/competition. Which for my family, is very fitting. It's also a WAY better option for kiddos, and seemed like some of the options were catered to kids, which is awesome. Our only complaint is we would have loved one that was really hard. The Save the Queen was rated as pretty difficult, and it still seemed pretty easy for those of us who do puzzles regularly! I don't want to compete, but I do want to be challenged. With that, the way they set things up was SO FUN and unique. Whoever thought of this has such a cool imagination. We loved searching around and finding all the little details. They did a fantastic job with setting the building up, I can't wait to see what else they add. After our escape room, we did an hour in the live video game room. They had cameras tracking our activity so we could pay games physically. Holy moly this place is COOL. Another unique concept that was a freaking blast. The workers were all so kind and fun, and really seem like they love their jobs. Such a cool spot for adults or kids alike. Highly recommend to everyone.

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!

I was…read moreone of the hosts for my family reunion this year and thought this would be a fun and interactive way for us to work together and enjoy an evening out. Ryan made it easy for us to book a group and was very understanding and flexible when some changes were needed. There was a total of 11 of us and we chose to do one of the harder rooms, Saloon Heist. We were a little lost at first, got stuck on some clues but overall we worked together and found the gold with 44 seconds remaining! That was a close one. Lol! Everyone stated how much fun they had after being a little skeptical and would definitely do it again. I can't wait to try another heist. Thank you Ryan and staff. You guys were amazing!

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.

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.

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 :)
