    60 to Escape - Schaumburg

    Overall, the room is really cool! The set is fun and it has a few set pieces that are really impressive. Game play is decent, if maybe a touch on the basic side. The puzzles are fun, but none of them particularly stand out as overly original. In all, this is honestly a fun game. I would definitely recommend it, particularly if you have newer players in your group.

    This room has really good puzzle flow! The set design is simple, but effective. I have played the passage at twisted limits as well and honestly, from a puzzle standpoint, this was more fun. Really good room and I highly recommend it!

    This is a very interesting experience. It is definitely a mixture of an escape room and a play, which is pretty fun. The set design is fantastic, the actors were great and the story was a fun play on the musical “Into the Woods.” That being said, the escape room aspect of the room was not quite up to par with the other CU adventure rooms. The puzzles and puzzle flow could have used a little work. Many of the puzzles were either too simple, or too complicated with unclear objectives. Not trying to say this was a bad escape room, I have played many that are worse, but it definitely felt lacking compared to the puzzling masterpieces that are CU adventures other games. As for the play side of things, it was quite fun! It was cool to be able to interact with the actors and exist inside of the stage for the play. That being said, at times the story seems to lose its way a tiny bit, but that might also be due to the breaks in the story for puzzling. In all it was definitely an enjoyable experience and I am glad to have gotten one of the limited run tickets! Rumor has it that they might be extending the run, and if they do, I would definitely recommend getting some tickets. If you are a fan of plays, it is a unique and interesting performance. If you are a big escape room fan, it is a very story driven room. If, like me, you love both escape rooms and plays, it takes some of the cool aspects of both and combines them into a very enjoyable experience.
