Can you escape?
Private team-building for companies, military units, birthday parties, school field trips, and anyone bringing a whole group through the door. Up to 40 players across four rooms at once, with private bookings outside regular hours by appointment.
4 - 8 PLAYER
4 - 12 PLAYER
4 - 8 PLAYER
Each comes with the same ground rules:
every room private, every set built in-house, and a game master watching over your group the whole time.
Team-building people actually talk about
Staff outings, onboarding groups, leadership retreats, and holiday parties. Book one room, run several at once, or book the whole building outside regular hours.
$5 off every ticket with military ID
Units, squadrons, and military families from Scott AFB and beyond are always welcome. Show your ID at check-in and save $5 per person.
Kids 10+ who want a real birthday
Detention is built for younger players: no scares, age-appropriate puzzles, and a whole classroom to search. Celebrate afterward at our 8 outdoor picnic tables, or head to a neighbor with a private party room.
A good story to kick off the night
Every booking is private: just your crew, no strangers. Start the night with us, then walk to dinner and drinks right on Main Street.
A field trip built on teamwork
Our rooms run on logic, communication, and cooperation, so it’s a hands-on lesson students actually enjoy. We can open on weekdays by appointment, with custom pricing for school groups.
501(c)(3) friendly rates
Belleville-area nonprofits, Scott AFB family readiness groups, church youth groups, and school fundraising events get flexible pricing and mid-week slots. Get in touch.
The things people ask before bringing a big group.
We recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead for groups, and earlier for weekends, holidays, and October. Short notice? Call (618) 416-7300 and we’ll always try to make it work.
Yes. Group events can be scheduled any day, any time, by appointment, including Monday through Wednesday when we’re normally closed. Call or email to set a time.
Yes. Book the whole building and every room is yours, with no other groups in the lobby. A full buyout holds up to 40 players at once: The Jail Cell (4-8 players), our two Detention rooms (4-12 players each, 24 total), and The Haunted House of Alice (4-8 players).
Yes, and it’s all free. The best spot is the lot right behind our building (the old Ben’s / Belleville Public Library lot). There’s also unmetered street parking all around us and a big lot behind the Lincoln Theatre, a short walk away.
Tickets are $35 per player plus tax. Military with ID is $30, and kids 10-12 in Detention are $25. To book, you pay one $35 ticket up front, and the rest is due after the game. Pay all together, split it up, or have us invoice your company. We accept tax-exempt paperwork and can provide documents for your records on request. Schools, nonprofits, and large corporate events can get custom pricing, so call for a quote.
During regular hours, food and drinks aren’t allowed in the lobby, but your group is welcome at our 8 outdoor picnic tables out front. For private events outside regular hours, let us know ahead of time and we can approve food and drinks inside. Need a party room? Sugar High, Bennie’s Pizza, Papa Vito’s, Casa Maria, Grüv, and Copper Fire are steps away on Main Street.
Smaller groups welcome. Call us for group sizes under four and we'll work it out.
A $35 deposit locks any booking. The deposit counts toward your final bill.
Free reschedule up to 24 hours out.
Most group requests come back within one business day. Standard single-room bookings can be made on the booking page.
