Mastermind Room Escape

It was so much fun! Can’t wait to try other rooms! I do think the Creepy liar could have better decorations and room designs. It’s certainly not creepy enough, but was still challenging and fun! My group made it out with a little bit of time to spare! The last few minutes were intense!

This is my first room escape experience, so I have nothing else to compare. Must say I had fun. We had 7 ppl private party. We worked together and solved all the puzzles and used two clues. Room to improve: the theme was creepy lair but the rooms lack decoration. I think a large flat screen tv playing a short scary video at the beginning as an intro would help set the mood. Darker rooms or with more props to set the mood and more sound affects to make it scary. Also maybe some interactive games or active games to make us move around and more engaged. Great group activity proper for all ages.

My family and I tried our hand at the Mastermind Escape Room and had a blast! Everything was well organized, and thought out. We were unsuccessful in retrieving the diamond, before the police arrived to take us to jail… but we tried our best. Michael was super awesome, and helpful in his clues. We can’t wait to go back, and try again. Definitely great for a family outing, or team building!

We recently did «The Diamond Heist» at Mastermind Room Escape and loved it! We went as a family, with ages ranging from high school to 75 and everyone enjoyed it! I’ve only done one other «escape room» before this one. Both were good. This one was a bit easier than the previous one I did, but definitely not too easy. Go check it out!

Thank you Michael! We had such a fun time at our first escape room. Even though we failed miserably and didn’t have nearly enough people, it was one of the most fun nights. Just promise us you’ll never propose to anyone by making them solve the Diamond Heist to get their ring!

My first time doing an ‘escape room’ and it was a good time. Started on time, the puzzles were challenging but not impossible and every ‘solve’ re-​energized the group to keep moving. The front end was a bit of a bare bones experience (might be due to Sunday night on Thanksgiving weekend) but the assumption was you knew what you were in for.

Fun time. I wish I was in town longer so I could try the other room. You need to work as a team, communicate and be organized. Great activity for a family, group of friends, or any kind of team building activity.

This was my third room escape (The Heist), and unfortunately, it was my least favorite.
I have now done the zombie room escape, as well as an escape room in Omaha, NE. This one just didn’t compare to those first two.
First, I think the room could have been staged better. The previous two escapes I did were way better in terms of the set itself… everything seemed to be related to the theme of the room escape. In contrast, today’s escape could have used more props to set the scene for a «heist.» I loved the diamond in the middle, but two of the rooms really could have been rooms for any other type of room puzzle, and not necessarily a heist.
I thought the man who helped us was very friendly and open to feedback, which was great. He also was super patient with us and provided a lot of helpful hints along the way. With that said, there wasn’t the same level of enthusiasm as the people who ran the other two room escapes. The zombie one consisted of great individual feedback at the end. The Omaha escape owner clearly was very passionate about his business (and extremely detail oriented). Today’s guy was still very friendly and helpful, but just not as great as the other two.
Despite these setbacks, I still really enjoyed the puzzle. I thought there were some really unique ways to solve the clues. I also appreciated the helpful feedback along the way.
Some helpful hints are…
1. I would highly recommend having at least 6 people. Fewer people than that and it will be hard to solve the clues.
2. I will also emphasize that there is a lot of running around among the three rooms, which can be hard for less mobile individuals.
3. There is street parking as well as garage parking (which they outline nicely on the website).
4. You can’t use your phone; however, they have lockers for you to store your things, which is great.
5. They currently have two rooms. I tried The Heist.
6. Finally, I would highly recommend taking your clues early. You are very unlikely to beat the record. We didn’t come anywhere near the record and took all three clues.
In sum, it was pretty fun and definitely challenging. I just don’t think it was worth $ 24. Maybe if it had been $ 15, then I would give it another star. Definitely a fun thing to try if you have not already; however, if you have done another room heist, I might consider a different place.

This place was awesome! Took time to explain everything and were so helpful! It was AMAZING! So fun we did BOTH! We did the one and then decided to do the other one! TOTALLY RECCOMMEND!

Me and 3 close friends went for Halloween and we had a really good time. We eventually died but we were so close! I think we had 1 or 2 locks left. It’s definitely challenging, fun and exciting! I would suggest getting a room with all of your own people, just because sometimes every one has to agree on things, such as clues and what to do with certain objects and that’s a little hard to do with strangers, while the clock is ticking. :) Lots of fun and I can’t wait to do the other room.
Only thing I would say is, I would have liked to see more decorations or detail in the room to add to the experience but that could be because we went on Halloween and expected a little more… horror?

This is DEFINITELY something to do when u wanna kill an hour. Close to the gateway arch, tram, and Busch stadium so we hit all 3 in one day. We did the heist, and made it out with 4 minutes left. Lots of challenges to keep everyone busy, and my two 15 yr olds had a great time, too. I hope we get one in Dallas soon!

This place was awesome. We had a group of four, two adults and two teens that had an hour to kill on a Sunday afternoon. The teenagers had a preconceived notion that this would be boring and very easy. We were all joyfully pleased and they were wrong. Didn’t realize an hour could go by so fast when your struggling to solve clues to complete your mission. Many have been successful but not our group. I wish there was a mastermind escape in Indianapolis, I would turn all my friends and family on to a fun event for all ages.

We had fun. Would be better if we could have been on our own (12 people a room… our group was only 5 so we had 7 other guys we didnt know, so communication wasn’t great.) We didnt make it out (we had one lock left to get out!) Rooms arent super decked out but it was challenging and fun! Highly recommended!

If you are looking for something new to do with friends, family and co-​workers… head to Mastermind! Our group checked it out last night and had a fantastic time! You really have to use your mind and work together in order to escape. The attention to detail inside the room makes this such a cool experience.
