The Escape Game, Minneapolis

Fun place, great deals on the right day. Challenging puzzles, I feel like a little more time would be helpful, they give you an hour. My girlfriend and I did 2 of the games and we were very close to finishing, I think another half hour would have really been nice. Highly recommend the 'special ops' room. It had a very fun twist to it. Would definitely go back. Nice staff too

The escape game Minneapolis in the mall of America is the premier escape room brand in the twin cities (and beyond) and we've done over 100 rooms. The rooms have great ambiance and immersion in the environment. All the puzzles are logical and include a good mix of standard locks as well as a lot of integrated technology which provides for some pretty awesome "wow" moments. The variety of puzzles will test your scavenging and perception skills, logical thinking, and teamwork. The game masters are great and well trained. The managers are enthusiasts that will gladly talk escape rooms with you afterwards! We've completed all five rooms here and our favorites in order are 1. Special ops (save this one until you have a couple rooms under your belt so you can appreciate how awesome it is. In my top two rooms all time!!!) 2. Gold rush 3. Prison break (tough but fun) 4. Museum heist 5. Mars (I would recommend this for newbies to escape rooms because it's quite linear and a good exposure to a fantastic room you can succeed in. This one has a bit of a plot hole because you will be the worst or maybe most forgetful astronaut NASA ever sent into space). As two experienced players, all the rooms are doable without extra help, except you'll likely want some help in prison break and special ops.
