We did the the Raid on Mr. Croft...it was unique but it hit my one nerve with escape rooms, we have done a lot of them. If there's ever a puzzle that after the fact the game master says 'oh yeah, only 2 people have ever gotten this one in the three years I've worked here". Challenging is good! Impossible is just dumb.

This was such a good time and our host was wonderful. We've never done an escape room before and there were only two of us. I will bring more people next time as it was hard! But such an entertaining activity regardless - highly recommend!

Was not able to experience the room. When we arrived at the location it was closed. We called and on the voicemail they mentioned they were closed since March. Now we booked this day due to their Facebook page they said they were opening beginning of August and were open. The page didnt say we are still closed, so at this moment I am still waiting for my refund. So I hope the refund process moves faster, this is not the best time to be out of a lot of money.

There is one hidden secret in the room that's super cool. I will not try to give it away haha but I can tell you this that you would be handcuffed for this game.

What an awesome, fun and well run escape room. The time flew by and there were many surprises along the way. The young lady who worked was a lot of fun and we were very impressed with her great customer service. I have been recommending this to everyone!! We will be back.

It was a bit more challenging than I wanted it to be but honestly it was incredibly fun! Bret was very full of life and made it very theatrical 👌🏽

Second escape room done here. So much fun. Lots of thinking and teamwork. We had 4 people even though you can have up to 10. I would say 4 to 6 max would be ideal for the space. (Mr. Dupree). We did not escape in the time but I would say it was still really fun and challenging. Will definitely be back to try the rest of them ! Staff have been wonderful each time and get in character which adds to the experience. Great for friends and family or a cool date experience.

Seems like a lot of people have done multiple rooms. Which are your favorite? We did James Bomb last time and it was awesome. Looking to come back and try one of the other rooms. Leaning towards the Treedeath room as it is supposed to be comparable difficulty to James Bomb but open to others. Thanks!

Can we have two groups competing in parallel rooms? (We would have 15 people)

We went with @ 20 people - adults and teen agers. We were put into 3 different rooms with different themes. it was great discussing the different themes. It will give you something to look forward to when you return. You could always contact them as they were very accommodating.

You pretty much have to book in advance. I tried to put the link here for you but apparently answers cannot contain website links. Go to escapemke and click on "tickets." That will take you right to the reservations page.
John,
We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience at EscapeMKE. We would like to give a little background as to why we have no sign out front. Step one of an Escape room is "can you find our location?" Part of the Escape experience is to step out of your comfort zone and use your instincts. Yes, the building looks like a regular office building, but that's how it is in spy movies. We also want our missions to be as real as possible. We did not hide the fact that you will start in handcuffs. They are real, and no they are not supposed to be comfortable. It is all part of the experience.
