Arctic Expedition60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLAnother great room from 60 to Escape. We did this as a group of 2-- my 19yo son and I. Usually we are group of 4 with my husband 16yo son, but did this as 2 since it is an easier room. It worked out very well. I enjoyed the theme of this room. Very cute. Everything worked smoothly.
Blast From The Past60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLThe clock wasn’t working so after 5 minutes the GM came into the room, made us leave, and then start up again from where we left off. A huge disruption to the immersion which is disappointing for as much as it cost. Also, this is one of their easier rooms, made even easier for our experienced group because we solved things nonlinearly just because we could figure out how to solve them without waiting to get to instructions. As a result, we got through incredibly quickly— broke the record for the year. It’s got great theming as all 60 to escape rooms do. This one is just a bit too easy. And lacks a big payoff at the end. We were sort of left with the “that’s it??” feeling. But it was a good enough room. We enjoyed it.
Cheesie's Pizza Party60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLAwesome room!! The theme was fantastic. Super fun. The puzzles fit right into the theme. Only 1 lock box. All the tech was awesome and executed so well. Staff was so sweet. Can’t wait to go back and do more of their rooms. We did it with our regular group of 4 and finished with 20 min left. The record is 24 min left. Although it was fairly linear there was enough to do for the whole room. In fact we all thought we were the ones who solved the most puzzles. 🤪
ClueBreakout Games - AshevilleEscape roomIRLSuper fun game that was very immersive and good use of technology. Our only problem with it is that we escaped too easily. We thought there were still a couple more rooms and a handful of more puzzles. So that was disappointing. Takes our rating from a love to a like.
Containment60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLThis was our first 60 to Escape at Gurnee. We've done all the ones in Schaumburg. We didn't like this room as much and mostly because you could hear people in the other rooms (unlike at Schaumburg) which takes away from the immersion. There are alot of locks in this room, but they totally fit with the theme. There is alot going at on at the same time which is good for our group of 4 that likes to spread out, but with the music and moving back and forth between rooms it was hard to keep track of what was done and what still needed to be worked on. Overall it was fine, but not our favorite.
Deep Woods CabinCopper Cat Escape GamesEscape roomIRLReally fun game! The puzzles are really well integrated into the room. Awesome theme-ing and excellent immersion. This is their hardest room and our experienced team (family of 4 with 50+ rooms under our belts) escaped with no clues in 36 min. Meaning, it wasn’t really that hard. But fun and flowed really well. I’d be willing to try their other rooms.
Dragon's SpellSherlock's Escape Rooms - Fort WorthEscape roomIRLThe room is too dark. We were allowed to use our phones for flashlights but that’s annoying. I don’t think being so dark added much value, esp for my old eyes. But the worst part is the first puzzle took a big stretch of the imagination and it put us in a bad mood for the rest of the room because we wasted so much time on it and it was so dumb. The room was fine. Not great. Not super slick. I’m bummed. We had hoped it would be better.
Fair GameRed Door Escape Room - Fort WorthEscape roomIRLWe did this as a free preview when the game first opened. We caught a few mistakes for them, so that was kind of cool. But did take away from the fun a bit. Overall a fine room.
Hidden Temple60 to Escape - GurneeEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room. The set design was beautiful. Very few lock and keys. Everything worked seamlessly. The only thing preventing this from going from like to love is that the game play was a bit too linear for our tastes. It was extremely clear what went next in order. And the puzzles were not too hard to figure out. We got the record for the month and didn’t even use a single clue or “nudge”. Nice room. We enjoyed it.
Invasion60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLWe drove in from Chicago for the day to do this and the pirate room having done all the games in Schaumburg and most in Gurnee. This room was super fun. Like all of the 60 to escape rooms the theme and set design were awesome. Super immersive and lots of fun surprises. My husband and 16yo got hung up in one area thinking they could solve it when they didn’t have all the info yet which left my 19yo and I to do a good portion by ourselves and it was much more fun that way. LOL. So those 2 didn’t enjoy this room as much but my older son and I loved it. Highly recommend this and all the 60 to Escape games. Worth the drive!!
