Escape Room KC in Union Station
📍 Downtown Kansas City, MO
Escape Room KC sits inside Union Station at 30 W Pershing Rd, offering 60-minute themed rooms for groups of 2–16. Multiple room themes at varying difficulty levels. Staff explain rules and story before each session.
This was my first experience at an escape room. We tried the dream. I had a lot of fun. The puzzles were great and engaging. The staff was excellent and did a great job explaining the story and the rules. I highly recommend Escape Room KC
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids roughly 10 and up who enjoy collaborative problem-solving under a countdown. The Union Station location adds an adventure feel beyond the room itself. Choose room themes carefully—some are better maintained than others based on recent feedback.

“The escape room is fun, BUT… it’s fun when staff is attentive. We didn’t receive any help until 30 minutes later, I was a bit frustrated because we aren’t the smartest and we were tryng our best but i compared to the last time I was here and I had fun and help whenever staff noticed that we were struggling. When we asked for help over the walker we heard some mean comments after, giggling during our struggle, and honestly just ruined the experience. I definitely won’t be coming back because honestly the price doesn’t match the vibe. I personally would do different if I was behind the desk..”

“More than anything it was an eye test. You can’t see numbers on some things at all due to them being worn, and one of the clues that supposedly has a number and letter looks like a Rorschach test. Only time I didn’t have fun in an escape room.”

“Worst escape room in town… The game was confusing and not fun at all, Half of the props were wore out or didn’t work! Waste of money and time!”
