Belleville's only escape room. Three hand-built rooms open now, with two more on the way. Sixty minutes on the clock, $35 a person across the board.
Wrong place. Wrong time. Only about a third of teams make it out. Bring the friends who stay calm when the lights flicker.
Welcome to Detention! Your teacher stepped aside and left you and your crew alone. You have one hour to break into the school computer and change your grades, if you want to pass!
Alice has been alone in this house for many years. She'd like company. You have sixty minutes before she decides you are staying too.
Live inventory, updated with every booking. Pick a slot to lock it with a $35 deposit.
If something's missing here, call (618) 416-7300 and a human picks up, usually Tyler or the game master on shift. If we're mid-game, we'll call you back within the hour.
We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends, holidays, and larger groups, since those times fill up fast. Last-minute bookings are sometimes available, so check our online calendar or give us a call at (618) 416-7300 to see what’s open.
No! When you book, tell us how many players you expect, and you’ll see the total for your group. But you only pay for one ticket up front: $35 plus tax. The rest is due after your game.
That means players can join or drop out of your group freely, as long as you still have at least 4 players to meet our minimum. And when it’s time to pay, your group can pay together or separately, with cash or card.
Plans change, and we get it. To reschedule or cancel, call us at (618) 416-7300 at least 24 hours before your game. Cancellations made with enough notice receive a full refund of the $35 deposit. Cancellations made after that, or no-shows, forfeit the deposit.
Your room starts at the booked game time.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time. That gives everyone time to check in, sign waivers, and get a quick briefing from your game master before the game starts. Late arrivals may cut into your game time, since the next group’s session can’t be pushed back.
Yes. Detention is 10+, The Jail Cell is 13+, and The Haunted House of Alice is 16+.
Players don’t need to be 18 to play, but we strongly recommend an adult join younger groups. Younger kids can struggle, and they may need help staying on track or understanding a puzzle.
If anyone in your group is under 16, an adult must be on-site the entire time the room is running. Your game master is focused on running your game from the control room and can’t also supervise kids. If a young player gets scared, upset, or needs to step out, a parent or guardian needs to be right there for them.
You’ve got plenty of options, all free:
Welcome in,
I walked into my first escape room as a player and walked out disappointed. Used furniture. Torn paper. A game that felt thrown together on the way to the register. The feeling of “this could be so much better” is what Escape 618 is made of.
Every room in this building is hand-built. My team and I, in a basement workshop in Belleville, set piece by set piece. When the door opens, I want your friends to stop talking for a second. That pause is what we sell.
If you have played a chain escape room and felt like it was phoned in, this is the opposite.
On the longest Main Street in the country, two blocks from Art on the Square
and the Chili Cook-off.
