Dells Escape Rooms

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.

60 to Escape - Gurnee

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!

Everytime you think β€œthis has to be the end of the room” there is more to do, and that is one of the best feelings for an escape room! Very big and sprawling with phenomenal set design and creative puzzles! One puzzle I was not a particular fan of, one involving posing, but that is personal preference. The rest of the group found it fun and silly while I found it disconnected from the theming of the other puzzles. This is my only complaint on any of the puzzles throughout the room- the rest were fantastic and held a little something for everyone! Overall very fun experience and an immedieate recommendation for anyone a fan of Indiana jones or tomb raider!

60 to Escape - Milwaukee

  • Escape room

Probably the second best room at 60 to escape milwaukee, most definetly their hardest! The room balances your misunderstandings of what the room -could- be and what it is actually, with lingering fears of what the rooms name actually has to do with the room itself (a very fun twist!). While a tad creepy it is deffinetly not scary. While some say the room suffers from having puzzles not feel directy obvious I think this is part of the charm and mystery the room holds. The only lacking part is the second to last discoverable part in the game- a fairly lackluster hallway, but beyond that the theming and set design is awesome as 60 to escape quality normally Is. Overall very good and hard room that I would recommend to any more seasoned enthusiast!

D.O.A. Room Escape

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

A pretty fun room for breakout! While the beginning was slow and a tad confusing with a door related puzzle, the interior was impressive! One puzzle I keep coming back to about how fun and unique it was, something I wish more places did. The rooms low lighting did not impact the experience but added to the ambience, and the addition of a piano was a fun prop to both annoy your friends and show off that you took piano lessons in middle school :-) A fun and not too spooky haunted mansion escape room that I would easily recommend to any escape room players looking for a not so scary haunted escape room.

Booby Trap Escape Rooms

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 β€œold 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

City 13

Fun starting room with some difficult lighting and puzzles mostly revolving around finding hidden things. Scavenger puzzles aren’t the worst for escape rooms but they felt a little over utilized in this room combined with the dark lighting. Some puzzles as well seemed a little confusing to discern what was a puzzle and what was a prop. I will say the confusing nature of some puzzles added to the mystery and difficulty of them, but I could see them being a struggle for new groups as this is marketed as the easiest to my knowledge. Despite this the set design is fun and I’ll always recommend city 13 to those in the Milwaukee area. I would recommend doing this room in save the city over on its own for those up for the save the city challenge.

Second favorite room from city 13 despite it being their easiest! Very fun theme thrown in to with a variety of puzzles for both lock and key enjoyers as well as room interaction puzzles! The puzzles mostly function out of the lack of light in the room which I won’t hold as a criticism but something that adds to the ambience and is used effectively. Our game guide was also incredibly nice in this experience, nicer than my guide playing the room the first time in save the city. I’ve found better experiences from the individual rooms rather than save the city, the 4+ hours of puzzles is probably equally draining to game guide as to the people playing the room. Would always recommend this room to people, especially those newer to escape rooms!
