My wife and I visited The Escape Game Chicago last week and escaped our prison with just one second left ‼️ It was the perfect mix of thrill and challenge, and our game guide, Nathan, gave excellent clues that kept us on track without making it too easy.
Afterward, the staff surprised us with thoughtful anniversary and birthday cards (which we had mentioned beforehand), signed by Nathan and Julez. Such a classy touch.
This was easily the best escape room experience either of us has ever had ☃️🎆

Everyone should try this. Great bonding experience for everyone that participates with you… if you win it’s a great ego boost 😂

So fun! Staff is great too. We needed a little help getting thru the rooms & the hints were subtle but helpful.

Super fun and worth the money. Each room makes it a different experience so definitely try the one you’re most interested in first.

We had a great time, even though we didn’t break out a prison, it was such a fun enjoyable time. The crew is very helpful very polite. Will definitely do it again and bring some new friends with us.

Izzie was the most amazing game master - she was so fun and helpful (even though we tried our best to not use clues). The gummies she gave us at the end were so sweet - literally and figuratively, of course! Love the Escape Game Chicago, the rooms are so detailed and unique.

I didn’t want to have to be with strangers in a small room so I canceled and didn’t get a refund. I’d still like a refund.

The Escape Room we did was Prison Break. It was fun and unexpected.! We made it to the last part if the room but didn't finish. We will be back to do it again.
