The Best Escape Room We've Been To
The Mystery Mansion Escape Room is the third facility we've visited. So far we have played 4 rooms there and they are superior to the other two facilities we've been to (one in Branson, MO = 2 rooms; one in West Little Rock, AR = 1 room). The atmosphere of the Mystery Mansion makes for an exciting visit right from the start. The technology of the rooms and the quality of the clues always puts a smile on our faces. The rooms are just fun to do. The price is reasonable and the ease of scheduling online provides instant feedback as to which rooms are available and when. The staff is helpful and accommodating. The rooms are all more difficult than average, but the "hints" have helped us keep things moving without giving away too much. The Mystery Mansion is head and shoulders above any other escape rooms we've done or looked at. It is the standard against which we measure all other escape rooms (a tough standard to meet). We keep a constant eye out for new rooms (hoping they'll add something a little simpler) and looking forward to our next visit. We've also been back to the Mystery Mansion twice during COVID (once for a family birthday and once for a family graduation) and they are taking appropriate measures to keep players safe.

May not be my thing, but it was still great!
This was my first experience with an escape room. I've always wanted to experience one and heard this was one of the "better" rooms in the state. I was in a group of 8, which is recommended for the particular room we wanted to do (Foster's Fortune). You have 1 hour to find all the clues and "escape" the room (you're not really locked in but for fun's sake you can't leave!). The room was rated a high difficulty level (so recommended at least 8 people) and they have an employee watching and listening to you the whole time. That was helpful because she would give us hints if we were stuck and didn't want to waste our time. Or if someone was really close to solving a clue but wasn't quite getting it, she'd offer just a tiny clue/push. It was a bit hectic for me and I felt useless at times, but honestly I don't really enjoy puzzles. Even with that I was still able to contribute/find/solve something now and then and we escaped with just 1 minute left! The escape room veterans of our group said this was the best one they've experienced in this state so far and I'm inclined to agree (although, again, it was my first one). Everything was well organized, clean, and exciting. I would definitely recommend you do this and with a group of people you know and book in advance so you don't get stuck with strangers. Although, I'm sure that would be fun too.
