Save The CityCity 13Escape roomIRLA fun experience having to escape for hours on end. After the first three hours, the last room made your brain feel like complete mush, so we asked for clues every minute or so. Going through the rooms from easiest to hardest was a choice, especially since you lose brainpower the further in you get. Had fun despite the quality of the rooms being subpar at best.
Lockbuster Video60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLLOVED the references to the other 60 to Escape games. The puzzles were themed so well to the game and the others referenced, and they were clever. Highly recommend playing this AFTER Hidden Temple, Invasion, and Pirates Curse. Also, the narrator was awesome.
Hidden Temple60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLA super well themed room with both action and comedy! We didn’t know how the room could keep getting bigger, but it did. The puzzles were all within the theme, though most of the room felt like cypher work. The challenge is communication and attention to detail, which makes for a fun experience. Incredible set with some iconic and memorable scenes!
Cheesie's Pizza Party60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLA super fun room with nods to Five Nights At Freddy’s, or a scary Chuck E Cheese. All of the puzzles fit the room incredibly well, and it had a campy, silly vibe to it while still having a scary rat threatening you. I wish I could play this room again for the first time.
Magic Heist60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLStarted off super unassuming, but opened up to a super cool room! Fun puzzles, silly nod to the creator of the room, and an even sillier ending. Great room!
Starship: Final Frontier60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLVisually stunning room with fun twists on classic 60 to Escape puzzles. Choose your own adventure ending tied the whole room together. A few puzzles felt like they were made to suck time, but they fit into the theme.
Mystery Manor60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLA great room that allowed for fun characters to come alive within the manor you explore with your team. The puzzles were unique, and some of them fit particularly well once in the main room. I would’ve loved to see more of these puzzles based on characters, but everything was visually appealing and fun. Great narrator of the story with a fun goal and keepsake!
Duke's Farm60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLGotta be one of my favorite 60 to Escape rooms! Love the first room’s theming and decor, and the change in scenery in the rooms following. The twist was silly and kept you liking the narrator. Fun puzzles, well done!
Cyber StationCity 13Escape roomIRLSeveral puzzles didn’t function properly when I played, and some of them were quite confusing even with clues. Lots of rooms, but wasn’t super impressive for it being the hardest room at City 13.
ZodiacFox in a Box ChicagoEscape roomIRLWhat a fun experience! Loved the different puzzles and the different rooms! A fun team split element adds extra intensity. Unique puzzles that made my jaw drop! Plus, Fox in a Box draws doodles of you during your experience with a silly quote, which makes the experience all the more special!
