This game did feel a lot less corporate than prison break! There were several clever moments and neat puzzles, but the gameplay was a little stilted and playing with 4 people felt like far too many, it’s more of a 2-3 player game. Overall, a good time, worth it if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t travel for this game

Overall the room was very nice! I almost wish I went through with a stronger group and maybe we would have enjoyed it a bit more but overall, I would definitely say that it is worth giving a shot. Although, I didn't really like how the receptionist said the booking were open to the public up until the room starts? I feel like a booking should be good to close an hour or so out like most other escape rooms do even if that leaves a slightly higher chance of more people booking.

The room had a good variety of puzzles. It is a bit dim so flashlights were critical plus they said we could use our phone lights. We had to share the room with 3 young men. This made the room more challenging and we believe with just 2 of us we may have solved it faster as well as has a better time. Much prefer rooms where we book private rather than share with strangers.

Successfully done with 2. Really cool set!! So much detail. Really cool transition and effects, leading to a wow moment. Actual puzzles were just okay.

Escape Game Chicago is a great location with several great rooms. Special Ops was a lot of fun. Having 4 people max is optimal for this room (5 was too many, as a few of us felt bored and cramped at times).

2 escape rooms

This was my first escape room, and I loved it. It was a really entertaining immersive experience that just the right amount of challenging for a group our size (8). The story started off a little weak, but the ambiance and the clever puzzles made up for it. The story took a turn halfway through the experience, and the second half of the puzzle were very narrative-driven and satisfying. We finished with 8 seconds left on the clock.

Gameplay

Lots of different, cleverly designed puzzles that worked well with the story that was being told.

Atmosphere

The props and set design were very well done. Definitely an immersive experience.

Customer service

Staff were all very friendly and encouraging.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Some of the puzzles were pretty tricky! But none of them felt frustratingly difficult.

Story

The story started off a little weak, but the ambience made up for what felt like a lacking narrative. Halfway through the puzzles, the story took a turn, and the second half of the experience was very narrative-driven and satisfying.

Difficulty

Medium

It was a little bit harder than I was expecting, which is a good thing! We did ask for a couple of hints, but for the most part, we were able to solve all of the puzzles on our own.

Game tech

High tech

I would say it was a satisfying mix. A lot of the puzzles were purely mechanical, and the ambiance was created using plenty of normal, everyday objects, but we received a couple of video transmissions throughout the experience, and some of the later puzzles involved buttons and touch screens. All of it felt appropriate to the story.

Ideal number of players

6

We had a group of 8, which at times felt like a bit too much. I would say the ideal group size for this room would be somewhere between 4 and 6. It might be too difficult for just 4 people, because there were a lot of puzzles, and usually there were people working on different ones simultaneously. But eight felt like a bit of a crowd. So maybe six?

Scary

Not scary

The storyline took a turn that I thought was quite dark, but the kids in our group did not seem bothered by it at all, and it’s probably not too different from what they see in movies and on TV.

Minimum age

8

We had some young kids in our group, and they seemed to enjoy it, but I think kids younger than 8 might not get that much out of the experience.

Was anything broken?

No

As far as I could tell, nothing was broken and everything was working smoothly.

Live actors

No

There were actors that delivered video transmissions from time to time during the experience.

Physically active

Somewhat

Toward the end, we were scrambling to try to finish the final puzzles on time, which got our heart rates up a bit.

Accessibility

Unfortunately, I don’t think this experience would have been super accessible to someone in a wheelchair. I don’t remember if there were captions during the video transmissions, but I think those were the only parts of the experience that might have been inaccessible to someone that was hard of hearing. There were a couple of puzzles that might have been challenging to someone who is colorblind.

Easy to find location

Yes

Parking

Medium

I’m not sure what the parking situation was. We arrived via rideshare.

Definitely a challenge for 2 players, but we got the job done! This room is everything you wouldn’t expect and then some. Great theming, great puzzles, and great staff!
