I particularly appreciated the vegan options on the menu. The owner, Jameson, who is incredibly talented has manifested a magical experience venue suitable for all ages.

We will be back with friends to do the escape room and to taste the rest of your menu.

I'm torn between a 3.5 and a 4 on this one. It's a cool location with great ambience. Although we…read moredidn't try the food or drink, it looked good and I'd love to come back and try it. Having done a number of escape room in the past, I love that this place felt a bit more quirky and independent than some of those more "corporate" type rooms. This will be spoiler free here. We booked "The dreamscape". There was a puzzle that must be solved in the common hallways, using a prop, before you can enter the actual room. This was kind of neat but also served to bifurcate the experience. Outside the room and inside the room didn't really feel connected. It felt gimmicky and like busy work. I mean it was a neat way to enter the room in concept, maybe they could connect the two experiences better. Inside the room, the puzzles were very "station" oriented. You could complete the stations in any order to ultimately succeed. This was also different from other escape rooms I've been to that are very linear with one clue leading to another. This one was basically just a series of independent puzzles to solve. The difficulties varied, from very easy and immediately solved - to kind of overly complicated that really required you to think like the puzzle creator. You know how sometiems in a puzzle room when you get stuck and have to hit the button for help? Then you get the answer and you're like "that's genius? how cool?" or "I never would have thought of that! that's brilliant". It wasn't like that here. First, pushing the help button didn't really result in actionable help. As all the different "stations" were in use by members of our group, the cryptic and esoteric help tended to be just general, and not on the specific place and station we were stuck. Second, when getting the help and actually solving something it was like "really? that doesn't make any sense. How on earth would anyone do this on their own?". Overall, the family wants to go back. I liked the ambience and the eating options. I didn't really care for the communal outside-the-room experience. The particular room we chose is among the least favorite rooms I've ever done (the best one ever being the Harry Potter elder wand room over at Trapped Puzzle rooms - which I believe is a sister location of this business). So I would recommend the Lodge of Lazarus Crowe overall, but this particular adventure was a swing and a miss for me. Didn't particularly enjoy the theme, the designs, the puzzles, or the lack of clues when we needed them.

The room was tricky but not overwhelming which I enjoyed. We knew what we needed to solve but had to work together to figure out how to solve it so we always had a direction to work towards which was a different experience for me in comparison to other escape rooms. I would definitely go back & try out another one!

Escape rooms are always different and the best of them have a wide variety of types of puzzles that fit different skillsets of the players and keep them a little off-guard. Missing Pieces did just that, with some very unique puzzles that took all of our collective effort. We escaped and had a good time doing it, and that's a success.

I have done about 25 all over the country and this one did NOT disappoint. A few considerations- be sure to be early. The room starts at your start time! They didn't require us to sign waivers like many places do. We did the Istanbul Gambit room, which I honestly was not stoked about beforehand. It didn't sound like a very interesting theme. But ya'll, I was wrong! Furthermore, this room didn't just ask you to escape, but also to complete a few other goals too. I liked that! The room made great sense and had a lot of neat reveals. The room did feature a combination of old school keys and locks and codes, and more advanced locks and puzzles. There's a lot of surprises in there. Be sure to bring a competent team because this room does not play around as far as difficulty goes. They also offer unlimited hints, so feel free to ask for help if you need it. My only real critique is that when we did ask for one hint at the end, the game master gave us TOO MUCH information. But that's a quibble. Check this place out. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it was great!

At the time we went they had just opened and had a CSI themed room. We were excited to check it out!

I loved that we moved from room to room and there were even interactive options when needed. I wouldn't say we escaped... technically we ran out of time but sorta solved it. All in all it was a lot of fun and I'm excited to see what they do with the other rooms. Price point seems right on track if not more affordable with other escape rooms. The fact that they have a party room is an added bonus that I'll be taking advantage of in the near future. I love when a business puts thought into the space and experience and it's clear they did! I would highly recommend checking it out and adding it to your list of things to near in and around the twin cities.

As soon as we were locked in, however, the fun began. Riddler's Escape is St. Cloud's second Escape Room. There are two rooms to choose from - Detective Lockwood, which is akin to a Sherlock Holmes kind of mystery, or the Capricorn Killer, which is a bit scarier room. Our work colleagues and spouses were split between the two rooms. Neither of us succeeded in "escaping," but great fun was had by both teams. Each room will accommodate up to 10 people. We were there with about 7 per room. I think that, had we had another person or two, we might have moved along more quickly. After signing a waiver, locking up your phones, and watching a short introductory video, the game-master introduces you to your game and then you're ushered into your room. The clock starts ticking, and you're free to explore the room to find clues, puzzles, and more. Each puzzle leads you to a key or some other clue so that you can advance toward your final discovery, which is the code that lets you out of the room. You're able to ask the game master for clues every 10 minutes, if you get stuck. We were stuck a couple of times, and took advantage of asking for clues. I highly recommend doing that, as it keeps things moving along. It was a lot of fun, with a few surprises along the way. I highly recommend the Lockwood room for families, friends, work colleagues, team building, or just some out of the ordinary entertainment. The room is well done and everyone had an enjoyable time. I wouldn't recommend the Capricorn Killer room for young children.
