Minnesota Escape Room Ranks #1 by Newsweek
If you're looking for a fun, interactive activity to do with friends or family, escape rooms offer a mix of teamwork and excitement that everyone can enjoy. And it turns out, the best one in America is right here in Minnesota.
Minnesota Escape Room Named Best in the U.S.
If you're not familiar with an escape room, your group is “locked” in a themed room and must work together to solve a series of clues and puzzles to escape before time runs out. Each experience typically follows a specific storyline to keep things immersive and engaging.

Newsweek just ranked the top 10 escape rooms in the United States, and their panel of experts named The Lodge of Lazarus Crowe in St. Paul as their number one choice.
A Gothic Funeral Home Turned Escape Adventure
Located inside a former Gothic-style funeral home built in the 1940s, The Lodge of Lazarus Crowe offers five different escape experiences. Each one runs between 45 minutes and an hour, allowing players to explore and unravel mysteries at their own pace.
Each room at The Lodge features a distinct theme with a narrative designed to challenge your wits and spark your imagination. Newsweek explains, “Brush up your elixir-making skills in the Apothecary, one of the easier scenarios, or dial up the difficulty in the Arcane Library as you attempt to rein in unstable magic.”
Stay for the Food and Drinks At Minnesota Escape Room
Another standout feature is the attached Hourglass Café & Bar. The menu includes signature cocktails and food items like sandwiches, tacos, flatbreads, and pasta, making it a perfect pre- or post-game hangout spot.
