Lockbuster Video60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLI just love 60 to Escape. The theming is so good and the puzzles flow so smoothly. Great tech. This one was really easy. We went as 3 as our usual 4th (my older son) is off at college. We went slow and took our time just to enjoy it and still almost got a record— missed it by 6 minutes. The puzzles are linear and not difficult but still a fun room the way it unfolds. I would recommend no more than 2 experienced players.
The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLThe theme is very nice (different and cute). None of the puzzles were very difficult, but there are alot of them which is good. Like the UBoat room, alot of locks in this room. Which is fine, just not as fun as more high tech things. We liked our gamemaster, she was very nice, but were a little disappointed because we had just completed the U Boat room with the same gamemaster and she raved about what a great team we are and how we finished with more than 15 min left. After this room, she said she has the ability to make this room harder. She made it a little harder for us, but should have made it ALOT harder. What the heck? We finished this room with more than 15 min left also. So that was annoying. But to be fair, she showed us the 2 other puzzles she would have added and we would have also easily solved those. We were already looking at those pieces and knew what needed to be done.... but anyways..... if you want this room made harder for you, this is your warning to ask in advance!
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!!
Pirates Curse60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLWe LOVED this room. We solved all 5 extra games and had tons of time left. Our game master said it was the fastest and best she’s seen a group get all the extra games done (toot toot. that’s me tooting my own horn.). The room is not hard— we basically got through it in about 20ish minutes. But the extra games add a nice bonus. And the theming is awesome as in all 60 to escape rooms. Super fun and worth the drive.
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.
Mafia HeistMind Trap Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe’ve done almost 50 rooms as a family and this is easily one of our favorites. The set is over the top immersive. Really really well done. The tech worked well. The puzzles were fun. Solvable but not easy. We will be trying more rooms at this place. Worth the drive.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - The ColonyEscape roomIRLI’ve done almost all of TEG’s games and this is my favorite. The use of technology is on point. The theming was really fun and well done. Music was perfect. Some puzzles were challenging, others a little easier. My one son said he felt it was too linear but I thought it was perfect.
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. 🤪
Magic Heist60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLThis was our 3rd room at this location and we have loved them all. This one was very fun. Lots of puzzles to work on simultaneously for our experience group of 4. Theming is perfect as always with 60 to Escape. Puzzles were creative and fit with the room very well. I recommend taking some Advil before you arrive— can be very loud.
Montauk ProjectMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLAwesome Stranger Things escape room. The theme-ing was really great. Some good interactive puzzles. We really enjoyed it.
