Magic Heist

An excellent room overall. All the puzzles flowed well, everything was applied logically, and it was difficult but not unfair. There are only two things I can detract points for, but -2 off a score this high doesn’t change much.

Magic heist was a fun, puzzle-forward room. The set dressing was very clean, and the puzzles shined as intricate, tech driven, and logical challenges. Extremely nonlinear, it was great for groups. The lighting also deserves a special shoutout for being they type of theater-level experience that escape rooms should strive to create. 60 to Escape is an extremely solid chain in the Chicagoland area, and any of their rooms are well worth the visit!

Loved this room. The puzzles where fun and a good mix of linear and non-linear.

The room itself is more than meets the eye. Super cool transitions and puzzles that make you overthink but aren’t to hard. Great atmosphere an overall fun room.

Very cool room! Great design!

We had a great time with this room. The set design was great, and if you are a fan of magic then you'll love the decor. Game play was pretty straight forward, and the puzzles fit the theme very well. . It had a couple of good reveals, but we were hoping for a few more big wow moments with the theme being magic. I would put this room in the upper intermediate category for difficulty. It is not super difficult, but new escape room players might find some of the puzzles challenging. Definitely a solid room and worth playing.

Magic Heist adds another great game to 60 To Escape’s collection. Although there is not as much story as other of 60 to escape’s rooms it more than makes up for it with a really good looking set and fun and original puzzles.

Fun, just pure Fun! 60 to escape has another winner on their hands with Magic Heist. The puzzles were the star of the show, delivering a buffet of enjoyable and non-linear puzzles throughout. The set was also of a very high quality before you even step into the actual room! Also, the room flowed great! They struck a perfect difficulty level that is enough to keep you engaged but not frustrated. Usually escape rooms have some dud puzzles that leave you saying “that’s a stretch”, but no puzzles of that nature will be found here. To be honest I expected some more surprises and shocking moments throughout just based on the theme, but you will still be entertained. It is a very well executed escape room, but it just feels like 60 to escape played it safe. This company is at their best when they integrate compelling storylines with memorable in-game characters. Minor nitpicks are the only negative thing I can say about this great game! It is a heist so it’s a little light on the story but it’s what they were going for so it works. Usually I think 2-3 people is perfect for an escape room, but here 4-5 could easily be warranted. Overall, a very good room and my highest rated 👍 on morty.

Spotlights please! This was an excellent room! I loved the magic theme, and by “magic” I mean magician and not wizard/Harry Potter. The room, which is much bigger than I expected, legit looks like an office that a professional magician would have. Props, spotlights, and tools of the trade lovingly surround the room. It also doubles as a heist room, but the true highlight is all the references to the magic industry. Kinda wish there were more sleight of hand “wow” moments that I expected coming into it, but what IS there IS well-themed and exciting, nonetheless. We barely escaped as a team of 2, but bigger groups will likely get through the tricky non-linear room more swiftly. The room is well-designed to help players understand what they should be focusing on. Some inputs were a little tricky to figure out, though. And there is a part that may be hard for some people to process. But that’s enough revealing magician’s secrets! Another hit from 60 to Escape at their new, exciting Schaumburg location! Veni vidi vici!
