60 to Escape - Milwaukee

A really fun take on β€œthe Sandlot” as a back drop for an escape room. The story telling and set were phenomenal, you can tell some love went into this room. With sooo many rooms it was impressive. The hint system here was unique and short of an unlimited hint system this is as good of an implementation Ive seen. Using pre-voiced hints with in game characters almost ensures a limited hint system though. From a puzzle perspective though it was pretty 50/50. Some puzzles were extremely unique in their execution. The opening puzzle in the second room was by far my favorite. Other puzzles felt tedious or didn’t work as well as intended. We spent entirely too long on a very obtuse puzzle with including β€œdog tags” which in the end would have been impossible for us to solve with how worn down the paint was for those specific puzzles. We ended up solving it with some brute forcing which I hate. This puzzle kind of built some frustration in my play group that soured the room slightly. I hope to find my way back to CHI/MKE to try another 60 to escape experience because I did really like the room save for aforementioned puzzle.

A wicked nostalgia trip with really fun sets. The final puzzle will surely have your whole team amped up. The best thong I can say is that the satisfaction this room gave my team was so sweet we immediately booked a second experience right after it. Pro-tip, our GM allowed us to use the Notes function on our phone for one particularly tricky puzzle near the end since they don’t provide a note taking device. Also if your team has 2 people and you want to do one of their larger experiences they will allow you to book it as a walk in for the price of two people instead of charging for the extra slot. (Assuming the game you want to play is open) One of the best meldings of good story and good puzzles I have ever played.
