    So much fun

    We had an absolute blast. It helped that there were some bars in the area. We made a day out of it, and would stop in a bar and have a few beers while we figured out the clue. We did need to get hints at the beginning, until we learned what to expect from the clues.

    Fun day exploring with friends

    We had an absolute blast! I thought it was a great way to explore an area that was new to me in KC. I played with a group of 5 people. For us, the difficulty was exactly what I wanted for the experience – required some thought but not so difficult that we couldn’t keep things moving or have fun with it! I hope to play again in another city soon!

    New Kind of Family Fun--Even for Teens

    Finding things to do that are fun for the entire family is difficult, but Escapely’s outdoor escape room checked all the boxes. My family (two adults and two teens) all enjoyed the puzzles and thought the game had a pretty good difficulty level: hard enough to stay challenged, but not so hard to be frustrated (and the hints helped us get through the more difficult puzzles). Plus we got to wander through part of the city we wouldn’t normally frequent, and learn a little KC history along the way. We liked it so much that we bought another one for my niece and nephews to do when they’re in town.

    Love the Tour!

    My family had a lot of fun figuring out all the clues. It was a great way to explore Kansas City, MO. If you like to explore with a purpose this is for you.

    Fun exploration

    We had a great time exploring the city and solving the murder! We’ve been to KC before but saw some new places and learned a ton about the city too.

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.
