★★★★★
"We live in the Central West End and had walked past this place a dozen times before finally booking. Did The Submarine and it completely exceeded expectations — the room is incredibly immersive and the puzzles actually make you think. Dinner at Sugarfire after made it a perfect night on Washington Ave."

"Organized a group of 16 for a birthday — four teams, four rooms, everyone competing for the fastest time. The energy was incredible. This is the best group activity on Washington Ave by a mile."

"Came here after visiting the Arch with the family. The kids were way more excited about the escape room than the Arch, honestly. Our 12-year-old figured out the hardest puzzle before any of the adults. Game master was great with the younger kids too."

★★★★★
"My wife and I have been doing escape rooms on every trip we take and this is one of the best we've done anywhere. The Loft District location is a bonus — we grabbed drinks at a rooftop bar on Washington Ave after and made a whole evening of it."

Why St. Louis Loves Escape The Room

Washington Ave has always been St. Louis's spot for a night out — and four escape rooms right in the middle of it means you can pair an escape with dinner, drinks, or a Cardinals game without moving your car. The competition format is huge here: groups from Clayton offices, Soulard friend crews, and CWE couples all come in, split into teams, and race each other. It gets loud. It gets competitive. It's very St. Louis.
