Contraption escape rooms in Saint Charles Missouri is one of our two new escape room locations. We are located close to old town Saint Charles and not far from Highway 70.
Very exciting changes have been happening at this location and lots more are scheduled to come early 2023. There are currently 7 available escape room games. Two of the rooms are identical and can be used for tournament play. Plus we are planning a laser maze puzzle room for all you flexible people out there. All of the rooms are getting revamped or replaced and upgraded! Stay tuned and keep checking out the website for what’s coming and what’s new! When we are finished we will have 10 attractions available! Woo hoo!!!
Keeping with the Contraption philosophy of “you don’t pick locks at Contraptions”, means any puzzle in an existing room that has a pad lock will eventually be changed. We prefer puzzles with auto-motion. Takes a lot of time to design and build these rooms. Please be patient and get excited with us for what’s to come!
In the meantime… Get out of the house, get off your couch, call your friends and come play a game! We are open!

Nuked
"We were told it was safe! The nuclear plant was going to help out the town."
When a fire erupted in the break room, all we heard was a huge explosion and then everything went dark. Without the power to the plant, it'll overheat and blow causing millions to be exposed to the radiation. You are part of the disaster team, called to safeguard us all. We know the plant can only go 60 minutes without power, we must hurry! Find the control panel, turn on the generators, and open the cooling valves to neutralize the reactor before we have a nuclear meltdown!

Grandma's House
Grandma's Party House is all new for 2023! Grandma recently remodeled her house and there are all new puzzles with automotion.
Grandma can be a bit of a prankster and a whole lot absent minded. She leaves herself little post-it reminders - maybe you can decipher the 'real' date of the party invite! Grandma has a very active social life so there may only be one 'date' left. As you are searching - you are sure to find the treats and drinks Grandma has left for your enjoyment.
This Multi-generational room is perfect for first time escapees, families and children of all ages! Whether you are 6 or 88, there is always a party on at Grandma's House! A perfect for kids style room doesn't mean its easy. Some items/puzzles are lowered so small people can reach. The logic of the room is geared towards child-like curiosity. There are surprises along the way but you still have to bring your adult thinking cap. See FAQ's for guidelines. An a adult is required in the room with ages 13 and under.
For Birthday Party booking - Treats are upgraded to cupcakes plus you get another hour in Grandma's House for your party. You can bring gifts and pizza into the room during this time.
