Our group ran all of these rooms and we started with this room. I would say this is a good room to start with if you also want to play multiple games here!

This is probably the weakest room at this location and also the weakest between the Schaumburg location and this one. However, it’s still above average when compared to other companies. Everything flowed very well, and the gameplay was clear. It was also immersive and a unique take on the theme. We escaped with about 7 minutes left and no hints used as a party of 4.

I was not expecting to love this room as much as I did but they took a relatively unique theme and really explored the implications for all they were worth. Looked great. Excellent atmospheric effects. Very fun and occasionally clever puzzles.

This was my favorite game at any of the three of 60 to Escape locations. The set and story/characters really stood out to me as well done and fun. There's some obvious movie homage-ing going on, and I think 60 to Escape pulled it off well. What puzzles asked us to do made sense in-universe, or at least were themed well. That's not to say everything was perfect. Specifically, I thought the ending puzzle suffered due to its ambiguous design - we instantly knew generally what we wanted to do, but guessing the correct interpretation that the game wanted (when there were several alternate, equally compelling solutions) was a letdown.

Unusual theme, and good use of video to advance the story and give a sense of the characters.

4 enthusiasts were more than enough, we breezed through it. 2 would almost certainly be fine.

We had two enthusiasts with 150+ rooms completed and two people who were brand new to ERs and everyone loved it!

Our group had 4 and it was a good fit for the size of the room, although 6 would be better for some of the puzzles

There is one point where one emember of the group needs to crawl, but then a door can be opened for the rest of the group.

Least favorite of the 60 to Escape rooms. It’s rated the easiest but certainly was not in our experience. The puzzles seemed convoluted and the room did not flow as well as the others.

My least recommended from 60 to escape milwaukee, but still a strong contender especially for new players! Fun set designs straight out of a movie like twister and unique twists you wouldn’t catch coming! Some of the nonlinear ouzzles feel a little confusing with a lot of back tracking to the first room, not necessarily a negative element but something to get used to throughout the adventure. The storm noises can also become a little overstimulating, but very accurate to a real storm and incredibly immersive with wind and fog machines. A tad easy, as designed, but overall a solid entry for the newest game in their milwaukee location and a good recommendation for new players wanting a fun experience!

Set decoration and atmosphere was very transformative. The difficulty and amount of puzzles makes this a great room for smaller groups with beginners. The story was fun and humorous, wishing there was a bit more to it by the end. Overall, the room was very entertaining but left us wanting to have even more to do in the environment!

Great immersion and decor but the puzzle flow was a little rough and it just didn't seem like there was too much to do for our group of 4

Solid room with impressive set design! I really felt like I was in a storm, which is not something I’d ever thought I would have wanted, but here we are. The puzzles aren’t too hard, and the final puzzle isn’t really the best. However, I liked the atmosphere and rooms. I found the voiceover of the supervillain boss fun too. Weird critique, but I feel like the room would have been just as good or maybe even better coherently themed if the supervillain angle was dropped for the storm escape part. The storm portions were by far more powerful interesting and enjoyable!
