Jurassic Outpost

Great room and lot of cool puzzles.

A lot of reviews say that this room is just okay. Honestly, I thought it was a great room with great puzzles. It has a great story and a great set design. The puzzles were tough. And there are a lot of them. And we did need a few clues. If you don't like using clues, I could see why you maybe wouldn't like this room. I personally really enjoyed it. Game Master Anthony was great.

This game was my favorite at 60 to Escape because of the ambiance, puzzles, and more. I believe I would rank the games as follows: Jurassic Outpost Lockbuster Video Cheesie’s Pizza Mystery Manor Magic Heist Arctic Expedition Midnight Heist Robbery of Vulture Valley We also had fun playing Putt Portal Mystery Golf.

Jurassic Outpost certainly earns it's place as the most difficult in the Schaumburg line up. While some of this challenge could be attributed to only playing this with my brother and I (although we are both pretty experienced and regularly complete rooms just the two of us), I think it would remain challenging even with a larger group. While we did have to ask for a couple hints and were provided some direction by out GM, we did make it out and complete a good number of the puzzles unassisted. I do feel like some puzzles leaned to heavily on just being complicated or time consuming rather than being difficult per say, but they were fun none the less. Like the other Schaumburg rooms, the set is great and the story is fun! I found the puzzle solutions to make more logical sense than those in some of the other rooms and this room focuses much less on item search mechanics than some of their other rooms. Definitely come locked in and prepared to start solving quick as there is a lot of puzzles to get through!

Jurassic themed rooms can often have simple story lines, but I loved that this one gave you a choice in how the story progressed. There was a lot to do in the space provided, but I think they used the space really well. I will always not be a fan of "get the machine running" manuals (press this, turn this, etc.), but that is just my preference. Overall a really fun and challenging game.

The fourth game I've played and this location and my least favorite but still very good. We had a group of six adults, some who had done escape rooms before and a few newbies, and we escaped with about 3 minutes left though we used a few hints. I'd agree this is very challenging - though the space was a little cramped it was good to be able to split up and work on different puzzles.

This room was hard for 3 people. Good room but we found some aspects overly complicated. It was also our 6th game for the day and we were exhausted, so that didn’t help! I would suggest at least 4 or 5 people.

Great set and vibes with a tough standout puzzle and an excellent ending, sadly brought down by an illogical counting puzzle which breaks the flow and breaks the immersion.

The last of the rooms at this location for us and we ended on a high note. Excellent sized room for two players, not sure if you'd want more than 3 players. Great solve feedback, excellent use of sound and lighting. All the bells and whistles that I like about these games, including the through line of the Castalof family. Incredibly satisfying puzzles that include tactile elements and actions that just feel FUN to do.
