    I went into SoS with tremendous expectations after reading so many reviews and recommendations from friends. We had a great time and it almost lived up to the extraordinary expectations. With all of this said, this may be the best game I have experienced. We arrived 30 mins early, so they had us wait in the “chill lounge” which was pretty trippy with the clouds, lights, cats, and relaxing video playing. This was my 1st time in a 90 min room and really liked it as I did not feel rushed. I felt like 90 mins was a perfect amount of time for this room. However, we had a long day in the sun, and did this room at night (8:30pm) so the rest of my party were drained by the end of the 90 mins. All 5 rooms of sets/designs were amazing and you completely felt immersed into the story…we especially liked the Nightclub Lounge. Many of the rooms were quite large with lots to do, but the puzzles were fun and totally doable…nothing overly challenging. All of our senses were definitely used during this game for many of the puzzles. We got to experience true magic, but that’s all I can say. The rooms had great flow. Before we started, the GM (Jamie) said the room was non-linear, but for our group of 3, after the first room we thought it flowed linearly. The Hint system was different and worked well. We only had to use a few hints and Jamie did a great job of nudging us in the right direction. Jamie was extremely enthusiastic and did a great job of allowing us to ask questions after we escaped. The last room’s puzzles and final reveal was a cool moment. Now that we are in the Brotherhood of the SoS, I recommend that if you are ever in the Tampa area, you must experience Servants of Sleight…you will not be disappointed!

    This was my 5th 60 to Escape Woodfield room (only one left to do is JP), and Cheesie’s lived up to the hype. The room was not as hard as anticipated, but our group of 6 came prepared, and were very organized with our game play. The rooms (4) were super cool and it felt like you were in an old abandoned Chuck E Cheese, and the games they had in the room were actual, still functioning arcade games. The stage with the animatronic Chuck E was very cool and added to the theme and story. I did not feel this room was scary at all, but thought it was a really cool atmosphere. Game had a great flow and the puzzles all made a lot of sense, where we took great notes of items we identified, and then made connections with those things identified earlier. The use of gum was especially cool for a certain puzzle as you would totally see this when you were a kid. Room was a lot of fun and satisfying for everyone in our group as we all contributed to many of the puzzles. Our GM (Jacob) was phenomenal and very enthusiastic before and afterwards when talking about the room and his favorite rooms, and his clues (I think we used 2-3) were great to give us a confirmation or slight nudge in the right direction (as opposed to giving us a direct answer). Customer Service at this Woodfield location has exceeded my expectation each time we have visited, as the GM’s seem to be having just as much fun as we are as they are watching attentively and rooting us on. 60 to Escape Woodfield is an amazing location for people of all levels of ER experience, and all of their rooms are Hollywood quality and a lot of fun. You just feel happy when doing rooms at Woodfield. Can’t wait to do JP and a new room which may be coming later in 2025.

    Magic Heist was a lot of fun with good use of technology. Game was not linear, so people could be working on various puzzles at the same time. Had a really fun time.

    3rd time doing a room at The Escape Game Chicago and Prison Break lived up to the expectations. Room had Hollywood type of sets in each room and some really creative puzzles. Really felt like you were in a dirty prison in all of the rooms. Some puzzles had to use some physical skill, which added to the excitement. There were a good amount of locks, but the puzzles that were solved to get the keys/codes were all fun. We brought a full squad of 8 people as we did not want to share the room with anyone, and everyone else in my party had never done a TEG room, so I wanted to make sure we had enough brains to get out of this difficult room. You start split in 2 different cells, so you want to preplan who starts with each other. The groups we picked communicated really well with each other, and we made pretty quick work of the first room. We seemed to really be on our game tonight as we communicated and worked as a team really well all night, only using 4 hints (more of which were confirmations, as we really wanted to get out), and got out with almost 8 minutes remaining. We really never felt panicked/rushed. The GM, Sofia, was great, and even said we were way ahead of where most people are after the first few stages of the room. The game was pretty linear, so most puzzles made sense as for what to do next, with a few relics that were needed for later on. I love the show Prison Break so this brought back a lot of fun feelings from that tv show…and it was cool that Michael (me), Lincoln (my son), and crew escaped together, again.

    This was my 4th 60 to Escape Woodfield room and it was great as usual (previously completed Magic Heist, Lockbuster, and Arctic Expedition). Although this was the easiest game of the 4, it may have been the most fun with all of the technology and mechanics with several of the puzzles. We knew it would be an easier room going into it, so we only brought 4 people (2-4 people is ideal for this room). Haunted mansion atmosphere was really cool, but not scary at all. I liked that there were many more rooms to explore than I expected, and when you completed several of the puzzles, you experienced a rewarding result. We had a slow start, but once we figured out the first puzzle, the rest of the rooms flowed well (many linear puzzles, but some non-linear as well). Great room for all levels of experience as the room sets are top quality and game play is really enjoyable.

    Escape Room Near Me

    Before we even got officially started, we had to solve some puzzles to gain entry into ER Near Me, which set the tone for the experience. Then, after speaking with the owner (Charlee), and understanding that she was a passionate ER enthusiast, I knew The Killing Station would be a killer room. We brought a squad of 6 people, which I thought may be too many, but ended up being a good number for this room as there was a lot to do in this fairly non-linear room. I recommend 4-6 people. Most of the puzzles were mechanical or logical in nature, some of which were very unique. A few of the puzzles required some physical coordination and teamwork, which were a lot of fun. There were many locks in the room and a wide variety of different types of locks (which I usually don’t care for), but it seemed like when you solved a puzzle and acquired a key/code, the flow of the game allowed you to know where the code/key would be used (which I appreciated). The theme was unique and played into the gameplay well. The GM’s hints (used 2) were in the storyline’s characters and were helpful more just to confirm we were headed down the right path. Overall, a really fun family-owned room where the owner’s main objective is for their customers to have a great experience…which we did.

    Twisted Limits Escape Rooms

    1st time doing a Twisted Limits ER and it was great! TL is at the same quality level of 60 to Escape and The Escape Game franchises, so that is really saying something. The sets in Behind the Curtain were unbelievable and all of the props were real items, some of which were very large and heavy objects. TL does not nail down most of their props, so you can pick up and move a lot of objects, while investigating everything. This was a physical room which required some lassoing, carrying, building, climbing, and crawling, so you need to have a few mobile team members. We had someone in a walking boot, so they did not complete these physical parts of the room, but there is a lot to do in this room so there is plenty for everyone. We brought 6 people and I recommend 4-6 people. Some of the tech in the rooms were really surprising with what happened after we achieved the desired result. There was both new and older technology used in this room and all of it worked really well and was perfect for the applicable puzzle. There was a wide variety of puzzles in this room. There was a really cool puzzle where when you become “part of the audience”, a special effect is revealed. A lot of teamwork and communication is essential in this non-linear room, and you get steered in the proper direction by the additional clues that are present. Customer Service is great at TL. Our GM, Riley, was an enthusiast himself and was very cool to talk to before and after the experience. He answered all of our questions about how things worked and really seemed into our group’s experience to make sure he only gave us slight nudges on a few areas since he knew we were doing well with the room. Definitely one of my favorite rooms I have ever done as there was a lot to explore and we all had a lot of fun with everything we experienced. Can’t wait to go back to do their other two rooms (The Passage and Executive Disorder) and I heard two more rooms may be ready later this year. If you are ever in Chicagoland area, TL ER’s are worth the trip!

    Blast From The Past was a lot of fun! 60 to Escape Gurnee is not quite on the level with the Woodfield location, but this game and room was still very good. I love the use of real arcade games and even a pinball machine as it makes you feel like you are in an arcade from the 90’s. All of the different rooms you get to explore are exciting to see. There is a lot to do in this non-linear room so it was good that we had 4 people (although it was tight at times with space). I really enjoyed several puzzles, but many you had to remember clues or patterns from earlier rooms and use them later, so it required good organization on the notepad. Customer service at 60 to Escape Gurnee was fantastic as Charlie was enthusiastic before/after and gave some nice nudges along the way. This was not my favorite room, but still had a blast and would recommend.

    This was my 3rd 60 to Escape experience at Woodfield (completed Magic Heist and Lockbuster) and Arctic Expedition did not disappoint. We had 2 newer players with us today (6 total), and 6 was an ok amount due to the blended levels of experience. 3-5 is probably an ideal amount of players for this room. Lots of cool tech in this room with many different items that when situated correctly, create the desired outcome (and it feels rewarding when it happens with the lights and sound letting you know your achievement). Teamwork is definitely needed in this room to achieve a couple of the puzzles. This room had a couple of cool experiences that I have yet to experience…1 being a real compound that most people use everyday (and was perfect for this themed room, and super cool to interact with) and the other was very “video game” like, and really fun. We did not use any hints until the last 25 minutes and each hint we received allowed us to confirm what needed to happen next to move forward. Our GM, Robert, was super laid back and delivered great timely hints when we needed them. We have had a different GM each time at Woodfield and all have been great. Customer service is definitely amazing here. Overall, super cool sets, fun atmosphere, story, and we were able to get out with a little over 1 minute remaining, so we had a nice rush of excitement at the end. Can’t wait to do the next 60 to Escape room!
