Critical Putt [Season 2025]

Opening July 30 - We return to Gen Con! This real-life adventure combines minigolf with escape-room-style puzzles and RPG theming to craft a unique (and ridiculous) experience! King Parthur has again summoned heroes to defend the kingdom of Parcadia! Armed with…unconventional tools (that look suspiciously like a golf ball and a putter), your group sets out to defeat the encroaching evil. More than just a series of putting challenges, Critical Putt features character creation, puzzles, and performers to create an RPG-style adventure that uses minigolf to tell a fantastical story. For those of you who played in 2023 - we heard your feedback and are excited to show off our new adventure in a larger space! You may see some repeated (and improved!) golf holes, but we will also be bringing completely new holes, puzzles, and challenges. Based in Champaign-Urbana IL, CU Adventures hosted escape rooms at Gen Con from 2016-2019 and Critical Putt in 2023. Known for immersive sets and award-winning gameplay, we return to Gen Con with this new/improved experience.
