Parking Info & FAQs

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes! You can buy gift vouchers here.

Is there an age limit?

Not really, but anyone 6 and up needs to pay for a spot. Just know that in our experience, besides the Elf room, most kids under 8 don't get much out of the room besides spending time with their family and friends. :) So it is up to your discretion whether you want to bring them to the room or not. Children up to 16 will require at least one adult chaperone (at least 18 years of age) with them in the room.

What is an escape game?

It’s a real-life game experience where people participate in various activities, find clues, and solve puzzles to work as a team to ESCAPE out of a room in 60 minutes or less.

How long does an escape room take?

The escape game itself is 60 minutes unless you can brilliantly escape sooner but plan on being here a total of 75 minutes as we have rules to go over before the game starts and you will likely want pictures taken afterward.

How much does it cost to play an escape room?

For most of the year (Jan-early Nov), the cost is $30 per person with a 3 person minimum (must pay for at least 3 spots even if only 1 or 2 playing) Sun-Fri and 4 person minimum on Saturdays.  We have a minimum booking requirement in order to keep the rooms private (for your group only).  During the holidays, there is a higher minimum spot purchase requirement in order to privatize the rooms.. See the booking page for pricing for each room on each date.

Am I actually locked in?

NO. Your entry door to the game will always remain unlocked and you can leave at any time.

Are any of your rooms scary?

No. While we do have a few creepy rooms, there are no live actors in the rooms. Also, some of the props might be a bit disturbing to some people (like an obviously fake arm), but don’t worry, it’s nothing like a haunted house.

What about booking for corporate or large group events?

Our escape rooms are amazing for team-building events! We can accommodate 8-60 people in our escape rooms at one time, although a true “group” is 13+... so that is when any group discount starts. Most corporate and large team building happens during our off-hours. So if you have a large group, head to our Groups page to fill out the information form or call or email us to see if we have availability during times not shown on the schedule. We also have a conference room area available for rent and catering options in each of our locations. Please visit our Groups page to see more details, information, and ways to contact our group booking department to plan the perfect team-building or group event.

Are your locations handicap accessible?

Yes! Both our St. Louis escape room and St. Charles escape room locations are handicap accessible. Also, all of our rooms are handicap accessible unless it is mentioned in the rooms description. Furthermore, some of our games can be modified for hearing impaired guests. If you are interested in which games can be modified, please email us or give us a call. And, of course, the more notice we have, the better we can serve you.

Should we make reservations?

Yes. Reservations are required for a guaranteed spot. As our games are run on a set schedule, it is best to make reservations on our website’s Bookings page so you can see all the room choices, times, and spots available to book.

Where is Mastermind Room Escape located?

We have two locations. One in downtown St. Louis across from the Gateway Arch Park and in St. Charles.
