Mastermind Room Escape  440 N 4th St. Ste 290 St. Louis, MO 63102

As TripAdvisor’s #1-rated escape room in St. Louis since 2015, we’ve had lots of people have a blast in our rooms.  Plus, we’re just blocks away from the convention center! With 6 themes to choose from and the option of two sets of competing rooms, we have games for any type of escapee. We’re a family-owned, local business with 2 locations in the St. Louis area (our other location is in St. Charles, about 25 minutes outside of town).  So, we’d love to have you come play our rooms and show you our St. Louis hospitality. Click Here to View All Our St. Louis Rooms and Book Now!

We have 6 themes in our downtown escape room location for your visit in March:

  • Secret Society **Optional 2 Competition Rooms** (Max 8 People Each): While you’ve been researching a secret society, little did you know they were researching YOU. While walking down the street, you are picked up and thrown into a van. You wake up in an unfamiliar place and must pass the initiation…or fail forever.
  • The Diamond Heist (10 people max): You’re a bunch of dirty criminals. You’re trying to get rich by stealing the world’s largest diamond. You have 60 minutes to steal the diamond and get out before you’re busted by the cops.
  • The Creepy Lair (12 people max): A psychotic killer has brought you back to his lair planning to torture and kill every single one of you. Thankfully for you, he broke his drill bit on another victim and had to run to the hardware store before getting back to finish his work on you. So, you have 60 minutes to get out…before HE returns to finish the job.
  • The Cursed Castle (12 people max): You all are loyal knights returning from a faraway journey. As you approach your town, you see dark, ominous clouds. You arrive to find your castle eerily dark, quiet and sealed shut. Recognizing the classic signs of an evil curse, you decide it is your duty to do whatever you can to lift it, but you won’t be able to survive inside the curse for more than an hour so you must move quickly.
  • Cardinals Quest (Max 12 People): In a tied game between Cards and Cubs, the field lights have gone dark! You must figure out how to turn the lights back on before game time is up or we’ll have to replay the game in Chicago.

(More themes available at our St. Charles location, about 25 minutes west. Check our site for more details.)

  • The Oval-ish Office (groups of 2-10): What started out as a casual tour through the White House with your friends has turned into something entirely different. A submarine in the Pacific Ocean has launched a nuclear missile targeted right at the White House! Your team has 60 minutes to find the activation codes hidden within the Oval Office to activate the Steel Shield Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense System to save the nation’s capital from destruction. And then you have to escape… Good luck with that.
  • The Deadly Inheritance (groups of 2-8): You don’t remember having an Uncle Martin, so you are surprised when you hear from his lawyer informing you that he has died in a horrible shipwreck, leaving you as an heir to his estate! You’re even more surprised to find out that the old retired sea captain was actually the infamous marauding pirate Mad Martin! Your team has 60 minutes to find his secret stash, gather the precious diamonds, and escape before his deadly pirate colleagues show up to steal the booty for themselves — making sure no witnesses are left to tell the tale…
