Secrets of the WoodsTroubled Puzzle Escapes - Grayslake [prev. Golden Escape Rooms]Escape roomIRLI loved this escape room. The set and props feel a bit homemade, which was good and bad. Bad: it looks a bit cheap. Good: The puzzles and set were very unique. The hands-on nature of the props made it seamlessly collaborative. The density of puzzles was impressive, and they were also challenging. I loved the slightly spooky vibe too. This is actually the first room of a storyline; One Dark Night is the sequel (I will be going).

The actual room could’ve been interesting, the story hook and the props were cool, but it was just too short.
