A Challenging Experience Worth Every Penny

5.00My daughter and son-in-law found this adventure with an online search and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. We found the scenario well thought out and challenging; especially since 4 of our 5 participants did not have much knowledge about St. Louis City or Cardinal baseball player history. We did not use many of the hints and explanations, but when we did use them, they were very useful. Although I have lived in the St. Louis area for about 40 years, my family and I enjoyed learning more about St. Louis city and Cardinal baseball history and walking through less familiar parts of St. Louis. Finally, we recognize creating this adventure required a major level of effort from some very creative people and found the price very reasonable; especially when compared to a standard escape room event for 5 players. We recommended this adventure to friends and hope they, and perhaps others, will invest in an Escapely adventure and enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you Rachel, and team, for creating a challenging experience that was certainly worth every penny.
Super fun, unique way to explore St Louis

5.00We had a lot of fun exploring St Louis whilst simultaneously solving riddles. It was a cool twist to a classic escape room and all puzzles and story were thoroughly thought out well! We had an absolute blast!
Fun challenge

5.00This was a lot of fun! Very challenging but great. I think 2 is ideal for this. Its not big enough to share too much. Walking around was a fun addition.
The rest of the puzzles were appropriately leveled for us (high school kids).

5.00We are a church youth group from Minnesota coming to a mission trip in St. Louis. We used the Escapely as a way to introduce us to St. Louis. It did that very well!
Fun but hard

3.00We found it a little too hard to even using all the clues it was still too hard. It was fun walking around the city to see stuff. Overall a fun thing to do.
Hard to solve, but a great experience

4.00First I want to say, this is a fantastic way to see a city—especially if you have teenagers, and I think we will definitely do this again. We were visiting my son for a college event on the same weekend of my daughter's 18th birthday. I wanted to plan something really special for her birthday, while also experiencing the city. She loves Escape Rooms so this seemed like the perfect solution. She absolutely loved this game, but it was really hard to solve—especially at the end. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Anyone endeavoring this game needs at least one highly motivated person to lead the charge, and everyone else in the group needs to be prepared to contribute. It took us 4 hours to get through five of the clues, and we were too tired to keep solving the clues to finish the game. Next time we will plan to spend the entire day doing this. We will start early, plan to take lunch and snack breaks and enjoy the sights along the way.
Not a family experience-safety is questionable

1.00It was a warm spring day in St. Louis and my husband and kids (15 & 18 years old) were looking for something to do outside to take up some time until our evening commitment. We are from out of town and unfamiliar with downtown St. Louis. The pick up location of the clue box starts at a donut shop that is an area of town that seems to have struggled. Many vacant businesses, lots of homeless people wandering around. We stopped in a sub shop which was one of the only food establishments open the next block over, bought a sub (which was delicious) and started to look at our clue box. At about the time we were leaving a gentleman got out of a car and was welding his handgun in plain sight. A homeless woman dropped her pants and was urinating next to the sub shop. In general we did not feel safe walking around on a scavenger hunt in this part of downtown so we walked back to our car and left. We live in a midwestern city and are not strangers to city life. If I had been a family who bought this experience and had kids in strollers or littles walking around, I would be asking for a refund. I’m sure this experience has great potential, but perhaps the operators should reexamine where the game begins and the first few stops.
Experiencing your town with new purpose

5.00Want to visit your town with a new twist? I recommend playing Escapely with friends as a fun way to interact with locations and work together to solve puzzles in order to stop the bad guys. You will visit several locations within an easy walking area, see landmarks and spaces with renewed interest while seeking real clues and online cues to answer questions. I so appreciated the hint feature which helped with straight forward information and help should you need it. The materials included are well made and added to the fun. Escapely also included local spots to visit while on the case. This would be a fun activity while on vacation as well.
A great way to spend an afternoon around STL

5.00We loved this game, such a great way to see the city! We took our 13 year old, who definitely would've complained about walking around that much were it not for the engaging game, but she loved it! I like that there are as many hints available as you need, so you can decide when you're stumped and get just enough info to move on while still feeling like you're working for it. We ended up spending most of the day doing this, but took it slow, stopping for food, etc.
A great way to see the city
