The Foundry location in St Louis is easy to get, but parking in the area can be filled up on weekends evenings so just be prepared.

It was great for our family of 4 (kids age 11 and 14), and would be great for families, friends getting together or work team building. They showed us around all of the future plans and it will be even better in the future. Also, very reasonably priced for the whole experience. We will be back, and I suggest giving this place a try.

Breakout Games was a fun location for a team activity while on a recent business trip to STL. The…read moreroom was easy to book online in advance and check in for our party went smoothly. Spoiler alert, our team did not escape. But, our host Jonathan was helpful in providing clues when we asked and told us what we had missed when time ran out. All in all, it was a fun event! My only comment for future guests is that while our reservation allowed up to 8 people, 8 was a little tight once we got into the room. Based on the room size and activities you need to complete, you're probably better off with groups of 4-6.

I've only been to one other escape room, and I didn't like it. At all. It wasn't logical and we had…read moretoo many people in the room; I couldn't wait until it was over. However, I can't wait to return to this place! Kiera was SUCH a good host and guide if we got stuck. Super pleasant, while providing excellent clues that didn't spoil the fun by giving away too much. We were in the submarine room. The props were so realistic and cute! The room was COLD, but better that than hot! Kiera suggested the haunted house room next time we return, and we will definitely make it happen. xo

I originally made contact with Ryan about bringing a group in to experience an escape room. I was…read moreone of the hosts for my family reunion this year and thought this would be a fun and interactive way for us to work together and enjoy an evening out. Ryan made it easy for us to book a group and was very understanding and flexible when some changes were needed. There was a total of 11 of us and we chose to do one of the harder rooms, Saloon Heist. We were a little lost at first, got stuck on some clues but overall we worked together and found the gold with 44 seconds remaining! That was a close one. Lol! Everyone stated how much fun they had after being a little skeptical and would definitely do it again. I can't wait to try another heist. Thank you Ryan and staff. You guys were amazing!

Pros: friendly staff, we could get a whole escape room for just 2 people without extra fees, very…read moreaffordable, escape room was fun to solve. Cons: not as immersive as other escape rooms, we did the saloon heist and it was only 2 rooms big, didn't have any special effects, but it was still fun! One thing I do wish is that they had any type of background music or sounds, it could've really added to the vibe. Overall I do think it was a pretty great experience for the price!

I was only with one other person and the two of us were able to solve the mystery with just three minutes to spare. We did ask a couple clarifying questions and the worker was extremely helpful. It was a great experience. The set was adorable. You could see some wear and tear on the space/objects but nothing that impacted the game or experience. I would love to come back in the future with another person or a small group.

This was my family's first escape room and we jumped right in to the hardest one- The Haunting. We…read morewere a group of 5 (college age son and 3 teenagers-17, 16 and 14). We had so much fun! I probably should rate with 5 stars but since I don't have anything else to compare to I decided on 4 stars. Everything was explained to us (even how to unlock the varied types of locks). There were scares, noises and frightful distractions! This was great family bonding for us to all work together and even tho we didn't finish - we had a few more puzzles to solve but not bad for our first time. We can't wait to try another escape room! We plan on making another trip in the fall and bringing a few of our friends. Definitely recommend!!

Very excited for this Escape Room in Carbondale! I've done over 30 escape rooms, and I have to say…read moreJeff (the owner) adds a lot of charm to his rooms and is very clearly excited about what he does. It is a reasonable price per person, and you reserve your room online. When you arrive, you fill out a waiver, and Jeff will go through the story premise with you himself. Then you and your group will have 60 minutes to escape the room's puzzles! (although note the room is not actually locked, so one can enter/exit whenever, you just won't "win" until you figure out the last puzzle). I thought the room we did (Egypt) had a good balance of task completions, puzzles, and technology. There is a timer in the room and cameras for monitoring. You are also given a walkie-talkie in the event you need a hint (although each hint costs you your points! but the points don't really matter in the end). I look forward to see what else the Panic Room has in store for Carbondale and think the seasonal rooms are a great idea.

We were doing a brand new escape that they had just released. Our kids are 11, 12, 14 and 15 and they loved it. My friend and I even participated in the escape and it brought out our inner child out. We laughed and possibly had as much, or maybe even more, fun than the kids. I loved that it was challenging. Our group is very competitive and it was great to see everybody work so hard together to complete the task! In case you're wondering, yes, we solved it, but just barely!

The different holes makes it feel like you can literally interact with it and not just hitting the ball and moving on. We arrived before the huge crowd and were able to take our time with each course, but once the evening crowd comes, it gets packed in there. But you will be able to reserve a time slot online. The business also provides various themed escape rooms, unique pinball machines, and a bookshelf of board games while you're waiting on your time slot. Regarding the pinball machines, make sure you bring your own quarters to use them since it doesn't seem like they have a quarter machine.

The reservation platform is simple to use, but they do charge a $3 booking fee in addition to your Groupon. 14 holes (not 18) and several are a bit challenging and would be too difficult for small kids. I would recommend preteens and up. The course could use a good cleaning.
