Jurassic Outpost

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.

Great atmosphere. Amazing use of lights and many buttons. I hope we made the right choice for that dinosaur.

A challenging room for sure… lots of puzzles given to you right away without the ability to solve them until later, which can be overwhelming. Fun storyline that made several nods to Jurassic Park. Most challenging room 60 to Escape has to offer. Fun choice ending!

Really good room. Had great puzzles and atmosphere, loved it all around

So a heads up. While anywhere else, this would be a standout game, I was not very enthused on this one, it was my least favorite. It's not a must-avoid, in fact, I still gave it a thumbs up, but there were issues. First off, there's a lot to do. And it's thrown in your face all-at-once. Which is probably why the flow felt off. The game is semi-linear, but the best games let you discover them with one leading to another and so on. What's even crazier is that their other games successfully do this. The puzzles themselves were well themed, but not that intuitive. And without spoiling anything, the end felt very out of place. The whole game is based off of the Jurassic Park movies, yet it was as if they wanted to show off a random special effect that seemed a little too sci-fi for a game related to those dinosaur movies. All in all, things just felt clunky. all in all, things just felt clunky. 60 to Escape is one of Chicago's best companies (although it's a 45 minute drive from downtown, but worth the drive) and it's in a Mall. If you are there, definitely do Cheesie's and Lockbuster and throw in Arctic and Magic. Time permitting, add Mystery Manor, but I would put this one as the lowest priority. If you do do it, bring your crew. There's a lot to solve.

Jurassic Outpost was our final room at 60 to Escape Woodfield we needed to experience, and it was solid as usual. Jurassic played most similarly to Magic Heist, and there were little easter eggs to many of their other rooms and the original JP movie, which made searching fun. Jurassic is the hardest room at the Woodfield location, with a good amount of puzzles to work through, but we did not panic, finishing with just under 1 minute. Many puzzles were similar to the Woodfield location’s other rooms (which was fine) and we really enjoyed the skeeball puzzle. Although there were a lot of props and puzzles, the flow of the room was good as we seemed to always know what to work on next. There was lots of tech in the room and you had to pay attention to what you uncovered after completing a puzzle, as things sometimes open up slowly/softly. The final sequence in the room delivered a cool experience. Customer Service at Woodfield continued to be fantastic and our GM (Caroline) had great energy and provided us 2 nudges at just the right time, but we really did not need much assistance. I appreciate knowing that your GM at the Woodfield location will always be actively monitoring your room, as they are very quick to deliver a clue when you ask. Looking forward to experiencing the Woodfield location’s new room opening up in late 2025 or early 2026
