BOOK THIS ROOM

You are the worst kids ever. Welcome to Detention!

You start the game chained to your desks, unable to move or wiggle free. Your teacher, Mr. Picard, is about to turn his back for 60 minutes, and that’s all the time you need. Find the green key, break free, and tear through the puzzles hidden around the classroom. Solve them all and you can break into the school computer and change your grades. Pull it off and you pass. Fail, and you’ll be caught red-handed.

Old-school escape
Detention is a classic escape room, built the way the originals were: locks, keys, physical props, and hidden clues around every corner. It’s our most puzzle-heavy room, with no scares and no lighting changes, just a few loud noises. That makes it a hit with families, birthday parties, corporate teams, and adults’ night out alike.

Built for big groups
Most escape rooms get crowded with big groups, but Detention gets better with them. It plays just as well with 12 players as it does with 4. It’s so popular that we built two nearly identical Detention rooms, each holding up to 12 players, with start times 15 minutes apart. That lets us host groups of up to 24 by splitting them into two teams. And like all of our rooms, every booking is private. When you book a room, it’s yours alone, and we never combine your group with anyone else.

Detention is our most family-friendly escape room, right on Main Street in downtown Belleville.

Ages 10+ | 4-12 players per room, up to 24 total | Family-friendly

You must be 10 or older to play. An adult must be on-site the whole game for any player under 16.

Detention is for players 10 and older. It's our most family-friendly room, with no jump scares and no changes in lighting. Kids ages 10-12 play for just $25. Ten is right at the age when kids can start to enjoy an escape room, but younger players don't yet have the knowledge or focus to solve the puzzles. Even at 10-12, kids can get stuck or lose focus, so we recommend bringing an adult or two to help guide the team. All groups must have at least 4 players.

Is Detention good for kids?

Yes! Detention is our most family-friendly room, with no scares and no lighting changes. It’s for ages 10 and up, and kids ages 10-12 play for just $25. We recommend bringing an adult or two to help younger players stay focused and work through the puzzles.

Do we really start chained to our desks?

Yes, and finding your way free is the first puzzle!

[If anyone would rather not be chained, just tell your game master before the game starts and they can play without it.]

Is Detention good for adults? Corporate?

Absolutely. The school theme makes it approachable, but don’t let that fool you. Detention is our most puzzle-heavy room, packed with locks, keys, and hidden clues, and it’s a favorite for adults’ night out. Being “the worst kids ever” for an hour is half the fun.

Is Detention good for corporate groups?
It’s one of our best rooms for team building. With so many puzzles running at once, everyone has something to work on, and success depends on communication and teamwork. It plays great with anywhere from 4 to 12 players per room. With two nearly identical rooms starting 15 minutes apart, we can host teams of up to 24 by splitting them into two groups. There are no scares or intense effects, so it’s a comfortable fit for any team.

We have more than 12 players. Can we all play?

Yes! We have two nearly identical Detention rooms, each holding up to 12 players, with start times 15 minutes apart. Groups of up to 24 can be split into two teams. Book both rooms online, or call us at (618) 416-7300 and we’ll set it up.

Is Detention good for birthday parties?

It’s one of our most popular birthday picks! Detention is family-friendly, packed with puzzles, and built for big groups, with two nearly identical rooms that can host up to 24 players. Kids ages 10-12 play for just $25.

Just a heads-up: our lobby isn’t set up for food or cake, but you’re welcome to celebrate on our front patio. If you’d like a private space for the party, our neighbors at Bennie’s Pizza are a great spot to keep the celebration going.

Can we take photos/video during the room?

No. We don’t allow photos or video of any kind during our experiences, so our puzzles and surprises stay a secret for the next group.

But win or lose, your game master will take a group photo of your team after the game.
