Frequently asked questions
Is there a Wizard of Oz escape room in St. Louis?
Yes. This is an outdoor, escape-room-style game played on your phone, with a new story inspired by L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel. You team up with a band of misfits to outsmart the witch, cracking puzzles at real places such as the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis and the World Chess Hall of Fame.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. There is no time slot to reserve and no group to join. Start whenever suits you at the plaza on N Euclid Ave and Lindell Blvd, and if you need a break you can pause the game and continue later.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
It starts at the plaza on N Euclid Ave and Lindell Blvd, across from the St. Louis Public Library's Schlafly Library. The route is a loop of about 2.7 km that ends where it began, and most players take around two hours, walking and puzzles included.
Is it a good escape room for kids in St. Louis?
It suits families with kids or teens who enjoy puzzles and working as a team. Plan for about 2.7 km of walking over around two hours outdoors, so it works best for children who can manage that distance and stay focused on clues for that long.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, so friends, families or work groups can solve the witch's puzzles side by side. If you would rather play alone, you can tackle the challenges solo and compete on the leaderboard.
