1. Mission Manor Escape Rooms
Topping the list is Mission Manor Escape Rooms. Located at 861 E. Hennepin Ave. in Beltrami, it is the highest-rated escape game spot in Minneapolis, boasting five stars out of 34 reviews on Yelp.
Mission Manor currently has three escape rooms for you to solve. First, there's Asylum, an adrenaline-packed re-incarnation of an old insane asylum that used to house cultists, cannibals and fire-starters. Surely the deranged doctor's notes will get you out in time. Next, there's Inheritance, a game where players must solve the riddle to get a large sum of money. The most intense is Countdown, in which players have 60 minutes to save the city of Minneapolis before a nuclear bomb detonates in the capital. Visit Mission Manor's website for more information.
