Description:

This old mansion has been abandoned for years, and mystery and darkness surround the empty halls.
As the wind echoes through the manor, people claim that they hear voices and see unexplained things. When you enter the mansion, you try to stay calm, but you can definitely feel a presence here... Work as a team to race the clock and uncover the mansion's secrets in this all-ages mystery adventure.

The Wild West escape room was amazing. Also had an awesome game master who was very helpful when my group got very off track. 10/10

Had a great time with the Mystery Mansion room. There was a good variety of puzzles which were challenging but not impossible to resolve with little help from the game master required.

Dylan was fantastic! I went with 5 young girls and he was very patient with all of us. They had such a fun time in the Mystery Mansion.

We had a great time going through the Mystery Mansion room. Kylah did a great job as our game master and helped make the experience even better!

Clean and organized. It was a great way to get a group of kids out of the house, off screens, and having a good time! For a small group of kids (5 or less), I recommend Mystery Mansion. For 5 or more, Island Adventure. And the Island is a little more difficult.

Always a fun time at Breakout Games. We did the Mystery Mansion room. It was challenging and fun, and it was all we could do to make it out in under an hour.

My dad and I had an amazing time! Clues were very helpful but vague enough to continue investigating. Dad and I had a great time bonding! Will definitely return. We did the Haunted Mansion and just the two of us barely made it out! We can’t stop talking about our next visit!

We had a blast in the Mystery Mansion! It was a great family activity. Would recommend. It was my first experience, so I was less help than the others, but enjoyed watching the adult kids and grandson figure the clues!

We wanted to do something different. I'm so glad we chose Breakout Games. Mystery Mansion was fun. Can't wait to go back and try other rooms!

I live in Des Moines and have done most of the escape rooms available in the city. Mystery Mansion at Breakout is my favorite room of theirs. I did the room with my husband and a friend, and we finished with around 10 minutes to spare. We only asked for a few hints, and the puzzles were so much fun to solve. I highly recommend this room.

I went with my husband, his sister, and their parents for my birthday. This was our first experience and we all had a really fun time! But know, you pretty much HAVE to ask for clues to pass. We thought we could do it without asking for clues, and learned afterwards no one has ever passed without asking for clues. Afterwards, we were also told the average amount of clues asked is 5-10. So keep that in mind when you go in to play!

I took my daughter and a few of her friends here to celebrate her 12th birthday. The girls did Mystery Mansion and absolutely loved it! (Age range: 10-14). I went in as a chaperone since they weren't old enough to go alone, but I didn't have to pay for a spot (and I didn't help with solving). Our staff member, Aaron, was great with the girls, giving them some extra clues at times when he knew they may not understand what they were looking for. They finished just in the nick of time (55:59) and they had so much fun. They all talked about how they wanted to come back and try the other rooms!

We played with 2 adults and 3 kids(preteens). It was challenging and fun. We will definitely be back.

We went to Breakout in Des Moines Iowa for our 1st escape room experience and couldn't have been more pleased. We had a blast with our 2 children ages [8 &13]. My wife had been wanting to try for awhile and finally we made it happen. Thought our 8 year old daughter would be to young but actually she did great. We tried the Mystery Mansion and it was great!! Great price and had a blast. Definite future experiences on the way!!!

We decided to do an escape room for our anniversary. We chose the Mystery Mansion and it was AWESOME! It was the first time ever doing an escape room for both of us, but we were able to make it out in the end! Our guide was so nice and you could really tell he was having fun too. We will definitely be back for more games in the future!
