Frequently Asked Questions

An escape room is a real-life puzzle game. It is like National Treasure and Clue mixed together in the most engaging way imaginable. Players are given a list of requirements and must solve the mystery in less than 60 minutes.

We are located at 619 S Front Street in Downtown Mankato, Minnesota. We are across from Walgreens and near the Wagon Wheel Cafe.

If you need, you can find a map HERE.

All of our rooms are $75 for up to 6 players and then $15 per additional player.  The Mayan Escape Room offers 12 players, the rest of our rooms will accommodate up to 10 players.

We recommend 4 to 8 adults at a time. More than 8 can be crowded and less than 2 is lonely.  Mayan is our largest room and D42 is our smallest room

Yes, but they make sense.  Tubes Lab has more solving and is slightly more difficult than Ivan's office is slightly easier and is half finding.  The Mayan Escape was designed for experienced players and is slightly more difficult. Directive 42 is our most challenging room.  We do provide clues when you ask for them, so you are never left stuck on a puzzle you can not solve.

Yes! We love to celebrate any occasion whether it be a birthday, gender reveal, engagement, bachelor/bachelorette or anything in between - we'd love to help.

We can hide items in any of our rooms.  The Mayan Escape has a great spot to hide gender reveal information.  Feel free to call and ask to hide your secret in our room.  507.327.4045

Groups of kids twelve and older can attempt the room by themselves with the permission of their respective parental units.

Depending on the kid, five may be a bit young. Groups with kids have been MORE successful than adult only groups.

Strange kids are dangerous. Specifically to adults with good credit.

Yes, we can schedule rooms during business hours. Contact Us and we'll get you set up.

We also provide options that include a meal.

Yep, we do provide an emergency exit included in the base rate. When a player leaves the room they may re-enter the game. We also have restrooms available.

Everything you need to solve the puzzle is located in the room. You may bring your phone in with you, but it will not help you solve the puzzles. We ask you to keep it off or on silent and restrain from using it during the time you are in the room.

Hey, that's not a question! Are you going to pay us to watch you pick a lock?

It's more fun to actually use your brains and solve the puzzles!

Well duh! Teenagers have reportedly smiled while playing our escape rooms.. so it must be pretty fun, right??

The adventure should take about 90 minutes or an hour an a half. To be safe, set aside about 5400 seconds. Please arrive ten minutes early to get the briefing done before we lock you in. The briefing will help you solve and escape the room.

If you fail, we will show you what you missed if you like.

All we ask is for you to show up and be the brilliant individuals that you are, there is no preparation needed.

This might be the greatest date activity ever created by the hands of humans. You get to be locked in a room together (every couples dream, we know) and have to use your brains and work together! Truly a great bonding experience.

Keeping the content of the room secret makes the room fun for the next group of gold diggers. The less you know about the room the more fun you will have.

The most you can say to others after you have finished is the spectacular, fun-filled, best 60-minutes ever of your life.

This is a great question.
