The Mystère Mansion

Extremely high production value (which will cost you) and the scariest room we've ever done.We only did 3 of the 5 Mystere Escape Rooms because we are not yet exploring the realm of live zombie rooms and we were told their Ghost Lab is simply too difficult for two people. Of course now we want to go back to the Ghost Lab just to see how we do. This place has by far the highest production value we have ever seen but it will cost you - rooms are $39.95 plus tax (lower for LA residents).We have to talk about The Serial Killer's Lair at length because it's clearly a major draw for this facility. Based on the Saw movie series, this was a must-do for me, a mega Saw fan. For the Saw fans - you are going to love some aspects and... be less than enthused by others. You know how Jigsaw finds imitation somewhat... distasteful? You may too when faced with pop-out scare tactics that are beneath the psychological thrills which made you a Saw fan in the first place. Probably the most frustrating aspect of these haunted house gimmicks was that they were COMPLETELY unnecessary as there are plenty of very authentic aspects which are scary as hell without random loud noises.But we digress. For any thrill seeker who also happens to enjoy Escape Rooms, this is the room for you. As usual, we do all rooms with just the two of us. We did not escape the Serial Killer Lair and thought we weren't even close, but it turns out we were on the final task. We were definitely derailed by a LOT of fear. In other words, this room is doable for two people (even though it advertises as a 4-12 player room) but also lends itself to a large group. The room isn't actually that hard if you are a fearless beast with night vision.Items of note: You are VERY much in the dark the entire time, so take that into account if you have vision impairment. Also, this room is NOT kid friendly, nor should anyone with a heart condition participate. If you can't handle a haunted house, you CAN'T handle this room. We thought of bailing several times but were proud that we stuck with it and overcame some fears, so there's that.After getting the ever living bejeezus scared out of us, we did Treasure Hunt and The Game Room (roughly based on Indiana Jones). We were successful in the Treasure Hunt and unsuccessful (though barely!) in the Game Room. Both are doable with two people but Treasure Hunt is the best room for smaller groups. Recommend a bigger group for Game Room unless you are experienced.Once again - insanely high production value on both rooms. Treasure Hunt may pose some issues for a claustrophobic person. Both are very family friendly. The staff (JC, David, and Johnny) was very friendly and flexible to our desired schedule and desired group size (always remember that this may not be the case if they are busy). Puzzle design is mostly solid, though weakest in the Serial Killer Lair. Regardless, the Serial Killer Lair was an unforgettable experience we will be talking about for a long time, and we recommend that you visit this facility to try one or more of their rooms.The Escape CoupleNote: If you visit our site, you will see that we gave Mystere 4 stars, This is based on our national scale - Mystere definitely qualifies as a 5-star facility in NOLA.

I've been to several "escape the room" type establishments but they don't even hold a candle to The Mystere Mansion. Mom and I alone tried our hand at the serial killer and treasure rooms - my god, what an immersive experience. The serial killer room was terrifying! Listen to jigsaw when he tells you what to do. The treasure room was like being in the Goonies. Go, go, go it's worth the money!

This was the most fun I've had in a long time. As an adult I'm always looking for fun activities to do aside from the typical food and movie activities. Came here with a group of 6-7 friends and did the zombie embalming room. I was so scared but so entertained!! We "died" but I didn't care. I plan to do each of the other rooms they offer. It was that great. Mystère Mansion please take my money !

What a blast!! I've been to quite a few escape rooms and this one is LEGIT! Realistically decorated, the themes are brought to life!

Ghost lab...Poorly designed.Poor flow. Confusing. Poor game master.13 people is too many in one room.It sucked and not worth it.

This place has to be one of the worst escape rooms I've ever seen. There are better and more challenging puzzles to come out of Fisher-Price. It's evident they've just hopped on the escape room trend as an afterthought. Don't waste your time or money here.

Amazing experience! This was my first escape room ever and I am scared that they set a very high bar for others. The mansion is extremely cool in itself and they have various different escape rooms to choose from. We did a medium level room with a "real" zombie which added an extra component to the challenge. The staff were cool and passionate and helpful when we got stuck in the room. Definitely recommend for others.

I did the Treasure Hunt: A Pirate's Adventure room with a group of only three and we did not escape (I think three was too few to achieve success in an hour but nobody in our group was exactly an expert). The puzzles were challenging and the production value was quite good. However, the hints that were given were not at all helpful (and were very difficult to hear) and at the end we were accused of cheating because the final door opened when we pushed lightly on it (we certainly weren't trying to cheat). The woman who ushered us out was very rude and didn't want to answer any of our questions. We were made to feel like we did something wrong when all we were doing was trying to escape, so we escaped the mansion with no plans to return.

They couldn't have found a better use for this place. Of course, we always frequent the haunted house during Halloween, and Santa's Workshop with the little one's (both very good operations). We did the Serial Killer's lair, and failed, but failed having A LOT of fun. My advice: our group of 11 was actually too large. Too many people in a small quarter getting in each other's way. But, that was just my experience. No matter the group, though, you'll have a bunch of good times. Thanks, guys.

Add some adventure to your "date night!" My husband and I did the "Serial Killer's Lair" and had an absolute blast! The escape was superbly executed, the actors were astonishing and the puzzles were challenging - yet achievable. Hands-down better than the other escape rooms we've tried. We cannot wait to go back to try the other new escape rooms they have to offer!
