The Escape Game, Minneapolis

The staff are very great at this location. The games they have at these locations are actually really well thought out and it's a fun experience to do these. Sean was an excellent host and games master. I've been to this location and had the best time of all this one. Tonight I did special ops, heist, and gold rush. Teamed first one and soloed the other 2 was a great experience. Definitely recommend.

Was visiting the Twin Cities and had the Mall of America on a short list of "must sees". We found this escape room among the various attractions and decided to give it a go. So glad we did, because it became one of the highlights of our whole trip! Our party included a couple small children (8 and 12) and even they were able to keep up and participate; however, I wouldn't recommend for children much younger than 7-8. They offer several different themed rooms, but they run their schedule like a movie theater - so the different rooms are running throughout the day at various times. Rooms are limited to 8 participants and the adventure is timed for 1-hour (or less if you get out). We only did one of the rooms (Mission to Mars) and it was well thought out, the props and sets were believable and functional, and the puzzles were challenging without being unsolvable. Reservations aren't required, but I would highly recommend signing up on their website before going. Find the room you want to tackle at the time it's available and you'll know when to go and tickets will be ready. They do accommodate walkups, but be prepared to either do whichever room is up next - or wait however long until the room you want to do goes again. Only con was the price - $130 for a family of 4. OUCH!!! But it is fun...
