Full Moon Escape

"We were a few minutes late to our scheduled time due to traffic, so I understand urgency, but our experience being greeted was horrible. Upon entrance, we had asked to use the restroom and the employee denied us access to the closest restroom. She told us we would have to walk all the way upstairs to use the restroom closest to the room we were using since we were late. She was rude and pushy the entire time we were there. The introduction and explanation of our escape room was so fast, not a single one of us could comprehend what she was saying. The way this employee was speaking so fast and unclear made it obvious to everyone in our group that she was irritated with us and no one felt comfortable to ask any questions about our game. It was obvious she cared more about getting us in and out of the building more than us having a fun experience. The experience during the actual puzzle was worse than the greeting. We specifically chose the most difficult puzzle because we wanted a challenge, but didn't realize we would be walked through the whole thing. Every few minutes, it felt like we were being scolded over the intercom. I understand if we're touching something we shouldn't be touching, but a lot of the times we were scolded because we were doing something that wasn't essential to solving the puzzle. For example, a member of our party had gotten on the floor to look underneath the furniture to see if something might have been written underneath. This person wasn't breaking, hurting, or even touching anything but we were still warned "not to do that". It felt like we were being babysat the entire time and if we did anything that didn't strictly help solve the puzzle, we were scolded for it. "You don't need to do that, ignore this, ignore that. There's nothing in there, you don't have to look in that area." The point of an escape room is to be left alone so you can solve a puzzle as a team. Again, I understand being scolded if we're doing something destructive or harming the set... I can recall one instance where someone touched something they weren't supposed to. But in this case, it was mostly harmless investigation. The whole experience was awful. When it was over, they rushed us out the door and sent us on our way. It was so unwelcoming. I left feeling so upset and did not get the experience I paid almost $250 for. We definitely will not ever be returning here, there are a lot of other escape rooms in KC with employees that know how to make the experience fun without belittling guests or being controlling of the entire game. Save your money."

"Visited here for a Christmas experience since our group loves all things spooky. We picked The Beast Tool Room and escaped with 10 minutes to spare (and used one hint). First, it super cool getting to go to The Beast haunted house building to get to the escape rooms. It really sets the tone for the experience and we loved getting to appreciate such an old building in the day light. The younger gentleman that was working this day was great! He was very friendly, seemed to really enjoy working here, and did a great job explaining everything to us. The 6 of us were taken to our escape room and got our briefing. The room was a lot of fun and took some real brain power on some of the puzzles. Without any spoilers, the room was exciting, had some fun moving pieces, and we all had such a fun time. Now, all that said, this is my 7th or 8th escape room I have done. This one has some difficulty with solving certain puzzles but overall, I felt it was kind of on the easier side. I felt it needs a few more puzzles to actually solve because even though it took us 50 of the allotted 60 minutes, I don't feel like we actually solved "that" many puzzles. I was also hoping for maybe a little bit more of décor and stuff like that. I think some other rooms I have been to really put you into a more immersive experience. I definitely want to come back and try their hardest room(s). But overall, it was a blast and our group had a terrific time. But I think for the price we paid, I was hoping to be a little more impressed."

"My wife and I completed the Beast Tool Room escape room, and were quite disappointed. We have successfully completed over 100 escape rooms and this was one of the absolute worst. The hint system was poorly designed and implemented. Hints are given as riddles, were not applicable to our situation, and take away time with each hint. Finally, escaping from the last room was the most anticlimactic ending I've experienced. It was an "Oh, that's it? I guess we're done." moment with no build-up. There were several locks and unopened containers remaining in the room, and it was quite a surprise to be dumped out of the room. There are plenty of other escape rooms to pick from. I would not recommend this one."

"We had a great escape room experience! The employees were passionate about their job and made the experience memorable. The location is also a haunted house for a good amount of the year creating a thrilling atmosphere. We did the dentist escape room and it was very well made with cool and well implemented puzzles! 10/10 experience"

"Oh my gosh I cannot recommend this place more! Me and my family went for our first time and did the dentist escape room. The atmosphere and puzzles are so unique and make you feel great when solved. The employees are very informative and very kind and helpful. Definitely worth your time :)"
