Thoroughly enjoyed this room and the vibe in the entire facility. Can't wait for their new room to open in January. Our live actor did a great job and stayed in character the whole time adding to our game rather than distracting which can happen with an actor in the room.

This was the best thing for a family outing, plus we had lots of fun. We celebrated my grandsons birthday, and had a fabulous time. This makes you think, second guess yourselves, and just simple clues, and you can get through it. Plan on making this a yearly outing. Great job, loved it!!

The room was amazing and set up great loved our character in room with us she was awesome!! The clues were fun to figure out. Rooms were set up great! So much fun and laughs gotta communicate with you're people.

First time at an escape room and it was a lot of fun. The worker at the desk was great keeping in character and not breaking the immersion. The actor in the room made the escape more tense when you could hear her moving in another room out of sight. After my group finished the actor and desk worker were nice enough to give us some recommendations since we were on vacation from out of the state.

This escape room is so much better than others that we’ve done. It’s more creative, interactive, and immersive. We thought it was going to be scary, but it was just creepy enough to be challenging. The actor and the hostess were awesome! I wish they had more rooms to do. If you’re thinking about doing it, just go for it! You will not be disappointed.

By far the best escape room experience! Creepy, yet exciting scenario that keeps you thinking and on your toes. We did not come out “alive”, but that’s ok! The staff was amazing and the live actor “Alex” was incredible! Definitely recommend this experience to people passing through town and locals looking for something fun and different to do!

Top notch! Staff stayed in character entire time and nonchalantly helped out when we’d get stuck. Although intended to be in a scary bloody basement, it’s super clean….never felt like we couldn’t crawl around to look for clues. Had a blast!

I've been to a handful of escape rooms but The Basement KC is truly unlike any of the rest! We've done a couple different rooms (escaping 1, "dying" in the other) and the second time was even better than the first-- I'm excited to try the next room they come up with! Pros: (FYI, don't look for the cons list next, there are none!) • The staff; they are top notch! Extremely professional and from the moment you arrive they are playing into the theme of the rooms. I initially was nervous about this being an"interactive" room (ie characters are within the room(s) with you) but it is all part of the fun and, again, they're extremely professional! • The detail of the room; I'll keep this brief to prevent any spoilers-- just trust me, this isn't a thrown together room, its legit, very well thought out and executed. • Fun for all ages; my wife & I took our son (15) and daughter (16) with us and they had a blast and were able to participate more than I thought they might be able to. However, I would suggest going as a larg(er) group-- they allow up to 8 per group (I believe). It was fun for the 4 of us, but the additional hands (and minds to solve puzzles!) will come in handy! • The cost; Having done other escape rooms, they fall pretty much in line with the standard. Trust me, its money well spent for the unique experience that you'll be telling all your friends & family about! Suggestions: • Get there EARLY; They suggest 15 minutes, I'd suggest 20-25 min. This will give you time to get prepared, staff to go over rules, have you fill out consent forms, etc. We got there on-time (which is late) and this ate into our time to escape which hurt us-- trust me, you'll need every minute to get out! (By the way, the forfeiture of time is understandable, of course, as they have a schedule to keep!) • Wear comfortable shoes; this might be common sense... but our son wore sandals and kept sliding out of them as he was running around. I'd suggest wearing a pair of laced tennis shoes. Overall, if you couldn't tell from my review, The Basement KC gets a 10/10 from me! Whether you're a local to KC or visiting from out of town please take my word for it and check them out! (P.S. Tips are welcome, not required, however, I'd strongly urge you to consider throwing the staff a couple extra bucks if you're able. Again, they do a fantastic job!)
