I’m not going to lie. St. Louis isn’t an escape room destination. There are pretty games and there are fun games… but we couldn’t find anything that was the total package.

However, what you will find in St. Louis is the City Museum, a gem of another kind.

St Louis, Missouri Escape Room Guide

Market Standouts

City Museum is not an escape room, but it is absolutely the market standout. Wear knee pads.

Puzzle Focused

Set & Scenery Driven

Spooky & Scary

Beginner Friendly

Something Different

City Museum is not an escape room. However, it was finest immersive experience that we encountered in St. Louis. We highly recommend this adventure playground for all ages.

Puzzle Warehouse is also not an escape room, but if you happen to also be a jigsaw puzzle fan, it’s a place worth checking out. It claims to be the largest jigsaw puzzle store in the United States, and we believe it.

    How can I find a previous post of yours? I ask because back in March I thought you all posted about good escape rooms when you visited St. Louis for the haunt convention.

      After we visited St. Louis in March, we published a number of escape room reviews from that trip. You’ll find them all here: https://roomescapeartist.com/category/location/st-louis/

      As you’ll see in the individual reviews, some of those games looked phenomenal and others played well. That said, we didn’t find any games that nailed both those aspects of escape room design.

      When choosing a game to play in St. Louis, if you consider what aspect of the experience you value most, and select your game accordingly, you can have a great time.
