The Casino Heist

Another great room from 60 to escape as I’ve come to expect from them!!! Unfortunately we weren’t able to escape this room. I don’t think it was overly difficult, but we overlooked some rather obvious elements we should have noticed, as happens from time to time in escape rooms. Not completing it didn’t change what a good time we had though. The room, like all the other 60 to escape rooms, has excellent design and interactivity. The theme works well too and is a nice twist on other casino rooms I’ve done. ***Not a spoiler but if you want to go in knowing nothing don’t read ahead*** Toward the end of this room there’s a small twist that is unbelievably well executed. Still not entirely sure how it was all pulled off but it made for a very memorable experience!!

One of the best casino rooms I’ve ever done and the set design was really cool too!

First time visiting 60 to Escape’s Milwaukee area location and we really liked Casino Heist. We visited the room after my son’s baseball game so we were a bit tired, and this was the perfect room for us. Game has a good flow to it with easier puzzles, which are more physical than mentally challenging. Set designs were great and lived up to the Woodfield and Gurnee location’s reputation, and there was also a good amount of tech in the room. This was an easier room that was a lot of fun to take your time with. Our GM (Elaina) was very friendly and attentive during our game, as she provided a nudge or 2 when we needed confirmation with a puzzle. You cannot go wrong with any of the 60 to Escape locations or games as they are all really well created and fun to experience.

This room I thought was ranked 4 out of the 5 rooms at this location. Puzzles were quite easy, but it was a good time. There was also this unique effect that is also used in their Lockbuster Video game in Schaumburg, that blows my mind every time I see it. Escaped with around 23 minutes left and used no hints as a group of 4

A heist theme? Been there Underwater theme? Done that Combine the tropes together? Like peanut butter and jelly. This room is another very solid entry from 60 To Escape. The set design is excellent, as always. There is a sense of fun and whimsy infused throughout. The puzzles are on the easier and more physical side but by no means is it a walk in the park. They do pull off one WOW moment that took this room to the next level and makes it worth playing for that alone.

Heist games are a pretty common escape room trope, but the underwater theme was a nice take. The set and puzzles were fine (lots of room for improvement on both), but one particular moment made the set outstanding to me and bumped the game up from like to love. I should mention that another part of the team got frustrated at a puzzle they worked on (that was admittedly pretty finicky); I would probably rate the game lower if I had been working on that puzzle and hit a similar road bump.

Very easy room. Special effects were cool but by far the simplest room despite not being rated as such.

A little bit of a Dud from 60 to escape. I expected a lot more. by a mile their easiest room. It’s very rare i complete a room with 30 minutes and no hints used but this room has made the list. Interesting puzzles really cool interactions. It was SUPER easy and cannot recommend it for seasoned escapists.

Clever puzzles, good storyline to follow, and a definite "wow" moment.
