Fantastic theming and immersion because WOW was I creeped out. I assumed the theme would have gore but the level of unique puzzles, actions, and noises was fantastic! The story gave chills and made me appreciate more realistic and historical rooms like this (with a bit of twist of course). I would not recommend for kids or for the casual escape room player, but if you like horror and history this is right up your alley and an absolute must for the dells area.

The concept of this room being “stop the terrorists” theme could either go two directions: being a more diehard type adventure, or something teetering on distasteful. While the room itself was not horrible the concept of it was still somewhat controversial and not one I particularly enjoyed being in. Interesting sets and story line but I could not get past the terrorism theme throughout- I’m a fan of rooms full of fantasy not necessarily realism, and this did not hit home for me.

While much better than the titanic room of the same company, this game did not offer the most nuanced puzzles. While a friend played this game in the dark and barely escaped having a blast- the game does not exactly lend itself to being played in light. A lot of puzzles involve finding new ways to find keys to unlock new ways to solve keys- which may be interesting in pitch darkness but lackluster in the light. I imagine the immersion would be much better in the dark but did not hold up in the light

Escape the Room - Milwaukee

Generally a fun room for those with 80s nostalgia but the room requires a lot of outside knowledge about 80s trivia before playing. Other rooms handle this issue better by putting answers to those puzzles in the room itself, or creating variations of these themes to accomodate all age groups. The set design was not astounding but served the purpose of being an 80s themed Rec room. Unfortunately my game guide was not the nicest to certain members of my group, but I would never reflect that on the company itself. Although game guides do make or break many rooms in my opinion. My experience with the room would have been more positive with a slightly nicer game guide. Overall an incredibly average room for the Milwaukee area. I will be back for the dig which I have heard fun things about. A nice stab at a fun 80s themed room but too reliant on 80s knowledge itself.

For hearing that this room was nonlinear and different from other 60 gurnee rooms I was expecting to be a little dissapointed by disjointed puzzles, but was incredibly surprised as to the complexity of the non linearity and the fun puzzles scattered throughout! This room is the perfect example of what a nonlinear room could be and should be, with a fun twist on a museum heist in an Egyptian wing! Great puzzles, fun artifacts, and plenty of unexpected ways to solve puzzles to think outside the box! Nothing quite did what you thought it did and I was 100% here for it!!! My favorite part was honestly the new take on a clue system, one that involved watching yourself play the room and seeing something the game guide recommends you to see to continue through the room instead of being told what puzzle to solve and how. This was miles more helpful than clues in previous game and was a system I wish was involved in nearly every game I play now. Overall a definite recommendation to those with some escape room experience and a stand out at an already great 60 to escape location!

Some very fun puzzles later on in this game, but the beginning admittedly lacks. I will say the beginning makes up for the lackluster puzzles with impressive set design, but for anyone who has played the game before, they will tell you how annoying a specific audio puzzle is. The one crawling section was incredibly fun and made me feel like living my dreams from half life crawling through vent structures, very fun addition which really solidified my love for the end of the game. There is also one point in which the clue and time screen is incredibly small, meant to seem “on theme” with the room but something that seemed only detrimental compared to the rest of the theme. I wish this screen was larger because it is nearly impossible to keep track of time between rooms when the screen is out of reach and small. A recommendation for anyone with patience who has experience with other 60 to escape rooms, a fun time but only through a fun game guide, which 60 certainly has to offer

Always have big expectations for Egyptian themed rooms and this one was incredibly average. Very immersive puzzles and set design but average room layout and some things that felt out of place- like an Amazon branded jacket in an “old archeological site” time period, maybe I’m just being picky. A little confused at entry as no one was near the front and we were confused when/where room would start until our game guide came out directy to get us. Not a bad room by any means but nothing that sets it above and beyond others in the dells area. I’ll be back to try more rooms because I do have good hopes for them

D.O.A. Room Escape

Our game guide was not particularly nice, and for marketing the experience as having a game guide in the room, there was little to no interaction with the room like a live actor would offer. The hints were not particularly phenomenal either for having someone explain them to us in the room itself. Also to add to insult, the game guide told us we were on the final puzzle and gave us an additional minute to finish to see the ending, in which we did not escape and the game guide did not help with a clue despite having clues available. Overall odd room with puzzles that didn’t quite add up, word locks with scrambled letters instead of words, amongst other odd things. The set was also underwhelming for something as iconic as the titanic, expecting a ship replica not a black box room. Not a fan of this one from the dells.
