I wanted to try and book a team bonding experience for my team. I called to ask about group numbers and when I asked why only 8 per group the lady laughed and was extremely rude. If she would have provided better customer service maybe we could have figured out a solution. I will never try an escape room here. I read the reviews and sounded like it was a great place... but she ruined it for me. read more

The Y2K Breakout Room was amazing! Our host, Sydney, was attentive, playful, and hilarious. The room's puzzles were very inventive, nostalgic, and really fun. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be trying another room at the Park Place location. Thank you for the wonderful time!! read more

Sydney W was awesome, took care of our crew start to finish! Highly recommend this place and highly recommend her as your guide! #TeamACC read more

Breakout KC - Park Place - National Secretes Winners - Escape Games Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

We played Y2K, which had an AMAZING theme- I loved the 90's throwback vibe! Wish the experience could have been a tad more linear, as there's a massive puzzle toward the end to solve, yet we didn't realize that we needed to solve another puzzle first, and we wasted probably 20 minutes on it... Ouch. We also played Civil War, which was glorious- one of the best rooms I've ever played. The interactive nature of the puzzles was exciting, and the set and sound effects were terrific. I also think it's one of the funniest/best pre-game videos I've ever seen. Our game masters were very attentive. read more

The manager was very rude and disrespectful. We were asked to leave early after spending $200. I will never go back. The manager just wanted to go home early so she made up excuses to kick us out early. She was rude before we ever even started the escape room because we look younger then 30. read more

5/5 stars. This pace was great! The location is perfect for shopping and grabbing dinner. The actual Break out is even better. The staff are really nice and helpful. They thoroughly explain your task and build from what you learned online. Our escape room was AMAZING! Completed the Y2K just in the Nic' of time. This room was filled with 90s / 00s nostalgia bliss! From simple reminders of yesterday to embarrassing moments. Thanks for a great time! See you soon BreakOut KC read more

So much fun! We completed the Y2K challenge. Good to reminisce if you experienced it and to learn a bit about it if you didn't.

My cousin and I love escape rooms. We've done quite a few at this point. We checked out breakout KC and had an AMAZING time. Quality of the room was top notch and our game master Sydney w. Was INCREDIBLE. She was so friendly and knew exactly when to help us and when to let us figure things out. What an incredible time! Highly recommend!!! read more

Awesome time cooking from someone who generally doesn't enjoy escape rooms. Loved the y2k room

I've escaped from all of the rooms at Breakout KC Park Place. The rooms are all good, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be Civil War. The room is themed very well, and for the most part the puzzles flow very logically. There are some really unique uses of the space that I really liked as well. My least favorite was probably National Security. I'm going to attempt to phrase it without spoiling anything, but I feel like there is a part that isn't super accessible. We didn't mention any special needs to the staff, but I think they should maybe let people know what may be physically required to complete a room when booking or as a FAQ on their website. Luckily for our group, it ended up being more of a nuisance than a hindrance, and we were able to escape. The staff is all awesome, and enjoys talking about the room after completion. Overall, a really fun set of escape rooms! read more

This was our first time at Breakout KC and we did "National Security". My kids ate 15,13, and 11 and had lots of fun. It was Midwest themed which was really fun, too! Staff was very nice! read more

We had an amazing time at our first escape room in KC! Makynzie was a great hostess! We can't wait to do all of the rooms!

Wanted to spend the day up here doing a couple rooms. Let me start this by saying I've been doing escape rooms for a long time. I know quality. Breakout KC is not quality. We drove 2.5 hours to make it. 3 of us booked National Security and Civil War. Their policy online says when you book, your card will not be charged. After we did National Security, we were thoroughly unimpressed. I had to crawl through a tunnel and there was nothing big and glaring warning for that when I booked it. I'm 6'2"...that wasn't fun. Our biggest problem was the quality of National Security. It was absolutely boring and ranks in my top 5 most boring escape rooms and I've done hundreds. The puzzles were extremely easy and the sound wasn't working on a tv. The whole group could only focus on one puzzle at a time due to how the room is built. For the broken TV we were told to "jiggle the cable". Sorry, but I'm not a fan of doing escape rooms that make you ask for a hint for technical difficulties. Anyway, the big problem is that I tried to cancel the next room we had booked which started an hour after our first one, (Civil War). One friend of mine can't do tunnels or stairs and I was told Civil War has both AND we just weren't impressed by the quality of National Security so we wanted to leave. Apparently their policy is "that's too bad" when it comes to cancelling even though they never charged my card. I kind of understand this policy because we took the spot and nobody else could book it, so they don't want to lose the money. I spoke to the manager Saul on an employee's phone who told me he was going to call his manager to try and cancel. I told him I would wait in the lobby until he heard back. He finally arrived in the store after half an hour of waiting. He told me they were absolutely going to charge my card BUT he would give me a discount. He charged us each $37 instead of $50 and we had no choice but to do the room. The Civil War room was even worse than the first one. Thank goodness we had someone that was not 6'2" like me and my other friend and he could fit in the mandatory tunnel. He spent almost the entire hour hunched over in this tunnel trying to communicate different clues to us and he's 5'2" and an escape room newbie. He missed all sorts of clues in the tunnel because he didn't look around. But the biggest problem with both of these rooms was at least 40% of the puzzles were impossible to figure out without getting a hint. For example, in Civil War, there is a very hidden wood slat that you had to push on to open. However there was absolutely no way of knowing you had to push on it. No prior puzzle pointed towards that one so we got a hint telling us to push on it. Just ludicrous. The puzzle construction is terrible. I was going to give a one star but because of the discount and the manager trying to accommodate I'll upgrade to 2 stars. I highly recommend going to Tick Tock Escape Room. We went there for the first time this same night and the puzzles were well constructed, the staff was energetic and happy to see us and the theatrical elements of the room were beautiful and really put you in the environment. We did the Pyramid Room. Avoid Breakout if you can help it. $50 is a ludicrous price to pay for the quality you will receive. read more

Y2K room was so much fun! Took my 12, 14 and 16 year olds. They did an awesome job of spotting clues right away and we're on the right path when we needed to request clues. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back and try another room. read more

My husband and 12-year old twins so enjoyed the Civil War Room. Great family bonding. Our room game guide, Aly, was such a great cheerleader and guide to us. We have found a perfect gift for Christmas and birthdays. Experience over stuff! read more

I really liked this escape room. I won't give away anything about the room specifically in this review, don't worry. While we only have done one of their rooms, Civil War, I was very impressed with it. We are semi-seasoned escape room peeps, not amazing at all, but we've been around the block a bit. A lot of the puzzles in Civil War were extremely unique and high quality. The technology in the room was more advanced than most rooms I've seen. The room itself was super authentic looking and immersive. A few minor critiques about the room that might just be due to my personal preference. I was not a fan of the hint system. It was a television screen that showed your clues when you requested them. While it was very functional I felt that it removed you from the immersive feeling the room had. If there was a way to include a old radio or telegram type machine, or even sliding a not under the door, that would feel a bit better. One other issue was that you could leave the room at any point in the hour and return. Most rooms have an emergency button for people who panic or want to give up. But you usually can't just open the door and walk out. But that in no way ruins the experience, that's just my personal opinion. I highly recommend trying these rooms. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was super fun and difficult. For sure go here if you are in the area. read more

We decided to check out breakout KC while visiting Kansas City. I've now done around 15 escape rooms so my expectations are fairly high. After searching online and seeing some of the reviews for Breakout KC we decided to give it a shot We chose to do Civil War because it was the most popular and most requested room and it did not disappoint. I'll keep it vague to not give away too much of the rooms secrets, but I thought most of the puzzles and technology in this room were very clever and unique, as well as being themed out super well. Their customer service was great. Very friendly and easy to work with. We made it out with less than a minute to spare. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be trying their other rooms. read more

This was our first escape room. Our guide Makynzie was amazing and made our experience fantastic!!

Our family had a blast being the Y2K breakout room. Makynzie was super helpful and friendly. Overall an amazing experience

We had a great time doing the National Security Breakout room today! It was the perfect challenge for us (2 adults and 4 teens)...we made it out with a few minutes to spare! We didn't need our first hint until about 30 minutes in which was awesome! Our Game Guide Grace was so helpful and great to work with. Can't wait to come back again!! read more

This place was absolutely amazing! The game masters were so much and very interactive with us. Really matched my groups crazy and out going personalities! We did two separate rooms and both were so good and really thought out! Saul and the young lady working there (so sorry we did not get your name) were THE BEST! If ever in the area then this is a must do!!! #crazygirlsinsundresses read more

Amazing experience! Troy was such a big help to us and very friendly! First time doing an escape room, didn't finish in an hour but were still pleased with our timing considering skill level of our room! The Civil War room was very well thought out and clues were pretty high tech! Definitely recommend! read more

Super fun experience!!! Did the Civil War escape room. Our game guide was super personable and fun.

This was an amazing opportunity to get together with friends for a hour of testing our smarts and ability to survive our task. Even though we personally didn't complete the task in the allotted time, we had fun completing the challenges and spending the time bonding and having fun. Definitely worth checking it out and we plan to try another room again. read more

I had no idea what to expect and was never too sure about escapes rooms prior to trying out this place. It was AMAZING! It was challenging, but no over the top. The price was reasonable for the experience and I would recommend this place to a group of friends looking for a fun night out. Time flies when you're having fun! read more

Breakout KC - Park Place - Escape Games Near Me - Leawood, Kansas

Did a team building night for 11 softball girls and the girls had a great time....very accommodating to large group... definitely recommend

This was my third time and again had a great time! So much fun no matter who you choose to go with. Went with my siblings the first time, husband and some of our adult children the second time and with co-workers this time. Great mental exercise and lots of laughter - highly recommend, you'll have a blast read more

See all

Went here with the family and it was a great time. The place is well designed and clean, and the staff were knowledgeable, fun, and friendly. We did the "easiest" room, Y2K, which was themed at a 2000 NYE party. I have done an escape room elsewhere before, and was a little disappointed that the Y2K room wasn't more thrilling. If you're looking for a scarier/more thrilling time, opt for a different room like the Civil War. Keep in mind, like any escape place, you need about 8 people for the game, so if you come in a smaller group, they will pair you up with others. Overall, such a fun experience to have with family, friends, or co-workers! read more

Had a great time in the Civil War room. Our host Nate was great. The room was neat and clean and well set up. We will return next time family is in town. read more
