Magic Heist

I was a bit disappointed in this room as I felt that a lot of the “puzzles” weren’t puzzles at all but rather a live game of eye-spy. Many if not most of the puzzles were more a reflection of your observational skills rather than your ability to solve puzzles. Some puzzles were time suckers either because it was difficult to hear or see, figuring out which door opened after solving, or because other parts of it were so distracting it took time to realize the answer part. I think that’s just lazy game making personally. The set was phenomenal though!

Magic Heist was a lot of fun with good use of technology. Game was not linear, so people could be working on various puzzles at the same time. Had a really fun time.

This is such a unique spin on regular magic rooms as it feels like you're in Houdinis office (but with references to the magician from the mystery manor room at 60 to escape). It incorporates every sort of magic trick you have seen in your life with clue solving fashion. The set is unbelievable and had me jaw dropped. I did this room with just one other person and we finished just on time with about 2 minutes left. I wish the ending was a bit different but the whole process was very cool. Steps are both linear and non linear as you can start with any clue in any order. If you are stuck on any one clue you can move onto another which is nice. I will say that sound effects were frustrating in this room and you should definitely listen, feel, and look at everything in this room to not get stuck.

60 to Escape continues to impress! We’re really sad that we’re about to move out of Chicago because we want to visit all the locations! Magic Heist had a great variety of puzzles, and the set was beautiful as usual! My husband and two brothers-in-law have a mix of different levels of experience, yet it was enjoyable for everyone! Our game master was fun and helpful and made our time enjoyable as well. We will absolutely make it a point to return to the area to play the rest of the new games opening soon as well as visit the other locations!

Awesome room and set design. Avi was a great game master. Lots to do in the room. We did it woth 3 but could see how there is plenty to do for groups of more. Def recommend all rooms by this company

Rating: 3.5/5 Great room overall, I really liked it. The set looked high quality from floor to ceiling, it had lots of tech and fun magic references. Basically all the puzzles were magic themed which is ideal. The lighting effects were theatrical and well utilized. The room is very non-linear so there's a lot to do in one area so it'd recommend around 4 players, we played as a duo and it was fine though you may need to use a few hints like we did. The GM was friendly and helpful. These minor nitpicks are why I didn't rate this a ❤️: *A few too many "find the number" and "figure out the order" puzzles for my liking. *Would prefer if there were fewer generic padlocks and number pads, especially in a room with so much tech already. *One audio puzzle was annoying, it was hard to hear due to the ambient sounds. *A set of items were used twice even though the intro video specifically said items were only to be used once, this caused us to get stuck. *I would prefer if there were more areas to discover and explore like their other rooms. *No real story beyond the intro description, it's basically just a "heist." *It feels mostly like just a big puzzle room. *Excluding the puzzles and magical props, the set itself was well made but not that interesting or unique like many of the other sets at this company. *No animatronics or fun characters to interact with like many of their other rooms. *They tried to do something funny with the ending but ended up feeling anti-climactic.

Blast From The Past 👍 7. Jurassic Outpost 👍 8. Arctic Expedition 👍 9. Magic Heist 👍

Another fantastic escape room at this location. I think I preferred Mystery Manor more because this room feels a bit less story driven and the setting isn't as elaborate. But the puzzles are fantastic, and I was very impressed at how well integrated they were into the room. They pack a lot of puzzles into a limited space, and it builds the tension quite well.

Very cool room with tons of unique on theme puzzles!!!! Some wow moments sprinkled with clever and physical puzzles that let you be a magician and create that elusive immersion factor. Word of caution that there is one loud puzzle for those with sensory issues, but you can move past it quickly with a hint.

the start was very unassuming but as the room progressed, the magic was in the air! we had a couple puzzles that stumped us but the eventual answers made total sense and was just us overthinking things. there is plenty to do in this room for larger groups for sure and most of it is non-linear too which was great for when we needed a break from one thing to just bounce over to something else. The puzzles were fun and challenging and the build up as you complete portions of the room has a fittingly epic climax that delighted us greatly.

Did this room as a duo and had a lot of fun. This was probably our favorite room out of all of them at this location. Very unique puzzles that were challenging and thought provoking.
