Escape the Room STL

I never had so much fun feeling so stupid… We only missed it by less than 30 seconds

I did 2 rooms, «The Agency» (James Bond theme) and «The Dig» (Da Vinci Code/​Indiana Jones theme).
Their set design was very good, but some of the puzzles were really logical stretches. Also, I didn’t like that there was no walkie-​talkie communication between a group leader and the clue master like in other rooms. Clues just appeared on the screen. Granted you could ignore them, but it would’ve been better if I could just request them when needed.

This place is awesome. It was the fastest hour of my life. It was an organized chaos of everyone looking for clues and trying to solve the puzzles. The puzzles we complex the rooms contained many surprises. We are already planning our next trip.

Good communication goes a long way in this game. I have never been on a room escape outing before, so in reading up I realized that it is a team effort if you want success. It was fun to be part of such a good group. With our group of ten there were always enough puzzles to go around so that nobody felt left out. In fact one discovery or ideas would spawn everyone’s creative juices. Ideas for solutions were flowing from everyone.
This was a fun outing. Went with a full crew to «The Dig» and had a great time. Everyone in our group brought their diverse skillsets into play on this adventure. There were a few instances when we tripped events that we shouldn’t have but seeing as it was opening night I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that these issues have been addressed. That said, they didn’t take away from the chaos and excitement of the experience at all.
After we finished we spent just as much time putting the whole experience back together from everyone’s viewpoint to get the full picture of what really happened. Like old men telling of war stories from years past we shared our failures and successes on each puzzle.
I was surprised to find out that this is for younger people too. I would love to come back and try a different room as a family outing at some point.

Escape the Room was an amazing experience. The puzzles were challenging. It was thrilling when we would finally solve a puzzle and move on to the next clue. We had a full team of 10 which added to the chaos and excitement! Working together, we escaped «The Dig». It was one of the fastest hours of my life.
The experience didn’t just end when we escaped the room. As a team, we spent a good deal of time afterwards debriefing. As a participant I would work on various clues and chase different trails. Sometimes with others. Sometimes alone. Something I would discover would spark or collide with someone else’s discovery. But I would only participate in part of the clue. It wasn’t until after our escape debrief that the entire group was able to put it all together. There was lots of excited talk as we finally connected all of the dots.
Escape The Room was an awesome experience. I can’t wait to try another room. You should see if you also have the wits to… «Escape The Room!» (said in old time radio drama voice).

If you are looking for something new and exciting to do in the Lou, look no further! I had the opportunity to work with a team to solve the 007 room they had set up. As a first timer, I didn’t really know what to expect, but it certainly surpassed my expectations.
I was concerned about the difficulty/​how ‘into it’ everyone really would be, but I can overwhelmingly say that once you’re thrown into the mix, the intensity kicks up and everyone has a blast trying to find their way out of the room! There were numerous surprises during the experience that I won’t spoil, but with this room being so much fun, I’m definitely going to try to bring more friends back to try one of their other experiences.
Excellent spot to bring friends or a date and work together to do something different, exciting and mind-​bending! You’ll have an excellent story to tell when you’re finished, and using your brain to solve clues is definitely better for you than a typical night on the town. Give it a try! You’ll love it.
