    Outdoor KC Escape Adventure

    My husband bought me this for my birthday as part of our trip to Kansas City. We absolutely adored it! We got to explore the KC Garment District together while solving fun puzzles. This was such a wonderful way to take in a new part of the city and enjoy a beautiful spring day! I hope that Escapely makes more kits for other parts of Kansas City, there is so much to explore!

    Fun day in KC

    We had a blast! There were 6 seniors , none from KC . We learned so much about the area. We will be doing another game in Phoenix! Loved it!

    Family fun!

    Fun! Very well set up. Challenging but with hints. Fun way to see a part of Kansas City. Plan on at least 2 hours. Great for groups of mixed ages.

    A great way to explore an area of town you might have overlooked

    We had a great time exploring an area of Kansas City we drove by many times but never stopped to really look around. I would recommend starting at home so that all involved can take in the opening story and have time to talk about it on the ride into town. We did use the hints a few times and they were life savers when we got stuck. The whole family got involved and everyone contributed to a successful day. We even ran into another couple doing the same game. We are definitely going back to explore the area of game play and venture out further to discover other hidden gems. We did park just south of the river market in a free lot on the weekend and used the KC Public Library for a quick restroom break.

    Clues were fun! Great walk and nice neighborhood! Really enjoyed! Good places to stop and rest. And we met others playing as well (but no spoilers!)

The best Kansas City escape room experience

About the escape room game

This escape room adventure around the Garment District takes the best parts of an escape room and the best parts of a scavenger hunt and merges them into the most fun thing to do in Kansas City. You get to search for clues hidden in the real world and then use them to solve escape room puzzles. When you solve for a code, the app will tell you where to go look for your next clue! Instead of trying to escape the room, this Escapely adventure takes you around Kansas City to track down clues and crack the case!

This real world escape room is the most unique escape room in Kansas City. It takes you on a clue-solving adventure to find clues, solve puzzles, and follow an immersive storyline. If you want to keep the experience a surprise, don't read this next bit - it contains some spoilers about where you'll go on Escapely's Kansas City escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way.

In Escapely's Kansas City escape room, you're a detective tasked with solving a mysterious murder. You must find clues and track suspects around the Garment District. (The clues are in the real world, but the suspects are on our app.) The Garment District is full of Kansas City history and players will get to experience much of it while playing. The game begins at the Graphic Arts Lofts, housed inside the historic Graphic Arts Building which was once used for commercial printing. From there, travel to the Kansas City Library's community bookshelf, which consists of 25-foot high books on the side of a parking structure. The titles of the 22 volumes shown were chosen by a community vote.

The escape room will also take you to the Lewis and Clark: Corps of Discovery Statue, which stands on a spot Lewis and Clark noted would be a commanding location for a fort. Later in the game, you get to visit the historic Savoy Hotel, now called Savoy at 21c after an extensive renovation. The new owners made sure to keep the historical murals and you can now go see them surrounding the bar. This outdoor escape room is the perfect way to explore this historic neighborhood in downtown Kansas City and learn a little about Kansas City's garment center roots.

Yes, but it is not generally recommended unless you are a serious escape room enthusiast. It would be like playing an escape room that has the same storyline and similar puzzles, but with different clues available. Because the clues are integrated within the Garment District in downtown Kansas City, the clues are different than all other Whodunnit games. But the puzzles will feel familiar.
The Garment District is full of history and historical monuments perfect for escape room clues. At one point, the Kansas City Garment District made 25% of the country's clothing. While in the area, you must check out the oversized needle and button sculpture on 8th and Bank that commemorates this history. It makes a great photo opportunity. Also interesting: Henry Perry, the father of Kansas City-style barbecue first built his name serving barbecue to garment workers from a stand in an alley.
It's both! In a traditional escape room you must solve puzzles that lead from one to the next to escape the room (or a series of rooms). In Escape the City you must solve puzzles that lead from one to the next, with clues in the real world. It's one of the best things to do in Kansas City!
Escapely's Kansas City escape room takes place in the Garment District near Quality Hill and the Library District. The whole game is in walking distance, so parking anywhere in the area will do. To be close to the first clue, park near 934 Wyandotte St. There is also a free streetcar in Kansas City that will take you right into the area!
You will not need to enter any businesses to play this Kansas City escape room. All clues are publicly accessible.
It's a self-guided adventure around the Garment District for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in Kansas City.
