There are a number of escape rooms in Branson, Missouri. So far, we have visited:
- Xcape Branson (Retromania) – They have four escape rooms currently, each one being based on a movie: E.T., Indiana Jones, Alien and Back to the Future. These are unlicensed, with names like “Escape to the Future” and “Escape: Temple of Doom”. We have done the E.T. and Indiana Jones ones, so far.
- Cryptex – They have five original escape rooms. We did Poisonous Debate which was based on Sherlock Holmes.
- The Masters of Escape – A brand new high tech VR and escape room place with six different rooms. We have done their The Chocolate Factory Escape, which is themed like Willy Wonka (you even get chocolate at the end of the game).
At some point, I’d like to do a writeup of how each of these are operated. There are some very “home made” escape rooms where you spend all your time looking for three or four digit numbers to unlock padlocks, and then there is the theme park-style high-tech offerings. You never know what you are going to get just by reading a room description!
If you would like to help me collect information on these escape rooms, and if you use Facebook, I set up a group just for this purpose:

Until then…
