Jurassic Outpost

Rating: 3.5/5 - Enjoyable room, but there are better rooms at 60 to Escape. Pros: ➕ The set was detailed and fairly immersive with good use of lighting/sound ➕ Had easter eggs from their other rooms and Jurassic Park ➕ Mostly tech based puzzles with only a couple of padlocks, but they were used where appropriate ➕ Strong theming, almost everything was dino related ➕ Cool ending with something I've yet to see in the other 150+ rooms I've done ➕ They let you choose the ending to the story ➕ More than 1 room to explore ➕ GM was friendly and helpful Could be better: ➖ No animatronics like in some of their other rooms (they set the bar too high for themselves 😂) ➖ I didn't love the puzzles, nothing stood out to me as particularly interesting or fun (but nothing bad either). They tend to do a lot of "figure out the order or "put in the right position" type puzzles. ➖ Too many puzzles/items are available before you have everything to solve them, this leads to a lot of wasted time. The GM warned us about some of it though. It's playable as a team of two, I'd recommend 3-4. It feels like one of their more difficult rooms. My ranking of 60 to Escape rooms (all locations) so far starting with my favorite. 1. Lockbuster Video ❤️ 2. Cheesie's Pizza Party ❤️ 3. Invasion ❤️ 4. Mystery Manor ❤️ 5. Hidden Temple ❤️ 6. Blast From The Past 👍 7. Jurassic Outpost 👍 8. Arctic Expedition 👍 9. Magic Heist 👍

Cute theming and a great room overall. Ranked as their hardest room online but is certainly not the most difficult by our experience. It was smaller than expected but had fun theming and a good storyline. Fun puzzles albeit a bit straightforward for experienced players.

My least favorite room here, but still a good experience if you’re a Dino fan!

Fun, yet challenging room. The set design is awesome. I would rate this more of an 8 for difficulty, rather than the 9 they gave it. Overall a fun room with some interesting puzzles.

Great room! Fun theming, difficult but satisfying puzzles. We had about 10 minutes to spare as a team of 2 with a lot of experience. Really fun “wow” moment at the end! Not a super big space physically so I’d recommend a smaller group for that reason.

Jurassic Outpost was another extremely solid and fun game from 60 to Escape. The theming was on point, the decor and lighting was extremely well done, and the puzzles were a perfect combination of challenging but not unfair - our group had some incredible flow throughout the entire game. The central narrative is also kinda interesting, and plenty of Easter eggs around the room give the whole thing life. A great room to play if you are in the Schaumburg area!

This is a fantastic room. Themeing is awesome. High tech and games are very appropriate for the room. My family of 4 is very experienced— 50+ games and this one took us 52 minutes to escape— the longest it’s taken us in a long time. The puzzles were challenging but totally doable. Really enjoyed it. We’ll be back to do more rooms there.

Super immersive Jurassic Park themed room! Decorations and design was all very cool (some of the best I’ve seen), and the puzzles fit squarely right into the theme. Big picture wise the progression is a bit linear, but after the first room there is good parallelizability even for our group of 8. It is touted as this location’s hardest room and I would say that is a fair assessment! Ending is choose your adventure, with a very cute high tech tidbit involving a certain dino. ;)

We loved this room. It was very detailed and had some challenging puzzles. The story was very cute, too.
