Mankato's first escape room!
Book now at oldtownescape.com Haven't heard of escape rooms?

Well, it's like this: You get a group of friends or family or co-workers together, you go in the room, you look around the room, you find clues to solve puzzles, and you have sixty minutes to figure them out and "escape the room." Get it?

It might be one of those things where you have to be here.

Our Rooms

The Post Office
The scene is a 1970's Mankato Post Office. The postmaster has mysteriously vanished. During your investigation, your team becomes locked in the back room. Solve the mystery to unlock the door in 60 minutes so the mail can be delivered on time!

The Witch's Kitchen
To become the witch's apprentice, you have one hour to explore her mystical kitchen, summon the four elements, and master the magic of puzzles!

Frequently Asked Questions

-Am I actually locked in the room?
-No, the door remains unlocked throughout the game - we can pretend! In case of emergency, we want to make sure you can get out quickly and safely.

-Is it scary?
-The game is not meant to be scary; maybe eerie at times, but not scary. Team-building, mentally challenging entertainment is the objective of the game.

-What if we can't escape?
-We want you to have a fun experience, and hints will be provided to try to help if your team gets stuck. If you aren't able to escape after an hour, we'll let you out and show you what you needed to do to escape.

-How long should we plan for our Old Town Escape experience?
-Each game has a 60-minute time limit, but plan for about 90 minutes total, as we do spend some time on orientation before and debriefing after the game. You should plan to arrive just before your scheduled time slot.

-How many people do we need to participate? And how much does it cost?
-We recommend at least four people per game, especially in The Witch's Kitchen. You may have up to 8 people in The Post Office and up to 12 in The Witch's Kitchen.
We are now introducing our discounted Spring/Summer pricing! Room price of $89.00 includes up to 5 players and guarantees you the entire room to yourselves. Extra people pay an additional $18.50 each.

-Can I just walk in?
-Nope, you need to find an available time slot that works for your group on our booking page. Generally, you must book at least 90 minutes in advance on weekends and 48 hours in advance on weekdays. But if you call or email we'll try our best to make arrangements for you to play on shorter notice.

-Can I bring my phone in the room?
-Yep. Some rooms make you leave your phone outside, but we want you to have it in case your babysitter or dogsitter or whatnot needs to reach you. Just don't take photos inside.

-What are the recommended ages?
-It often proves advantageous to have a variety of ages/backgrounds on your team. However, the puzzles are created with adults in mind. If your pre-teens want to take a crack at it, that's great! But kids under 15 will be admitted with adult supervision only.
