The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
13th Hour Escape Room - Wharton
Escape room
IRL
A really awesome escape room with excellent production values. There are lots of cool high tech elements, but I do really like that you actually go through a lot of the actual story of the Wizard of Oz. The atmosphere feels whimsical at times, and the puzzles were mostly intuitive though a few were a bit finicky. I do wish the tokens you are supposed to be collecting were a bit more evenly paced out throughout the room, but it's a very minor complaint for such an excellent room.

One of the best rooms I've ever done. Very unique story, a relaxed atmosphere, incredible set design, and an interesting approach to reusing puzzles. Felt like a very interactive experience and like actually stepping into a fairy tale

One of the best escape rooms I've ever done, and definitely the one with the best production quality. Felt like you were on a movie set. Puzzles were good as well, but it's really the set that shines here
Cheesie's Pizza Party
60 to Escape - Schaumburg
Escape room
IRL
Really awesome theme that was well integrated with all the puzzles and atmosphere. Our GM (Celine) was fantastic as well. I really like this place and have really enjoyed every game I've played so far. If I had one criticism, it's that the puzzles were a bit easy if you were observant, though there are plenty of clues that are well hidden.
Magic Heist
60 to Escape - Schaumburg
Escape room

Another fantastic escape room at this location. I think I preferred Mystery Manor more because this room feels a bit less story driven and the setting isn't as elaborate. But the puzzles are fantastic, and I was very impressed at how well integrated they were into the room. They pack a lot of puzzles into a limited space, and it builds the tension quite well.
Ghost Light
MyssTic Rooms
Escape room

I really liked the theme and atmosphere for this room. It was one of the first rooms I've done where it seemed like the game master was manually unlocking a lot of the puzzles (remotely) after verifying we had finished. It allowed for some cool puzzles/challenges that would be hard to build mechanically.
The Passage
Twisted Limits Escape Rooms
Escape room
IRL
An awesome room designed and run by an excellent GM who felt like a true escape room enthusiast. I did find one puzzle slightly unintuitive, and there was a section that was a bit hard to do with only 2 people (though there was a workaround). However, outside of that, I loved the room. There is a story, and the production values are really high -- with everything actually fully functional. Without spoilers, there are some cool twists as you progress through the room that felt unlike anything I had seen done before. Also, the puzzles didn't feel like the typical variant of puzzles you find in escape rooms, with a lot of them being actually different and requiring multiple steps of logic to parse. I highly recommend it, even if it is a bit of a trek to get there. I hope I can try the other rooms here at some point.
Hidden Temple
60 to Escape - Gurnee
Escape room

Some of the puzzles became a bit repetitive involving having to keep going back and forth. However, that's my only real negative. I love how the room unfolds, and there's strong environmental storytelling. Lots of cool magic locks, and we definitely started to feel the tension of feeling like we were trapped. Really cool!
Mafia Heist
Mind Trap Escape Rooms
Escape room
IRL
This is an interesting room to review. It's a large labyrinthine of a room with some of the highest production values I've seen as well as some very unique aesthetics. However, for a larger group, this room is fairly linear and involved a lot of people watching one smaller set of people solve the individual puzzles. However, for the experience, it is one of the better ones I've done.
Montauk Project
MyssTic Rooms
Escape room
IRL
Pretty cool immersive homage to Stranger Things. There are some things I haven't seen before despite doing so many rooms. I still don't love that the GM has to trigger the unlocking for some of the puzzles, but this room didn't feel like it had a lot of those moments like Ghost Light.
