Bonus Fun Time Game Show Challenge

Best escape room ever, bar none!

Very nice room. Varied puzzles and plenty to do at any given time. Would definitely recommend a visit. My main gripe with this place is that almost all puzzles resolve to a key or combination lock.

Fun room. Mostly mechanical but still interactive and fun. One of those “solve multiple things at once” rooms. Loads of “game-show” puzzles… well it’s all it is. Had a good time. Game master Ben was fun, they’re in the room with you the whole time. Definitely avoid 5+ as it is a bit tighter.

Man we really felt like kids again playing this game! So many fun dexterity puzzles and it felt like being in a Willy Wonka factory. Our host was amazing even though it was a little awkward at first having them in the room the entire time. One of my absolute favorite games in Chicago.

Every time I come home to Chicago, I drag my family to an escape room. Finally my family was excited because they love games that you can find on the game show network as well as trivia. Your game master is in the room with you during the entire game. There are some dexterity puzzles (my dad excelled at these) but nothing too difficult. We each had a chance to shine individually as well as work in teams.

A solid room. Low tech but enjoyable. Theme was pretty good. Puzzles were on the easy side.

What a fun room!

A solid, fun room with several puzzles that can be completed at once (so good for larger groups!) Some fun physical elements. Would definitely recommend this company.

Bonus Fun Time Game Show does a great job of capturing the vibe of an era of game shows - it's an unusual, and (as promised) fun, theme. The set is great, and puzzles fit in well with the environment. However, if the theme doesn't speak to you, you might not see the appeal. I think a major reason I'm not rating this a "love" is that I would have had a better time with fewer people. I had been told this game was better the more players you have, but I don't think it's true - like most games, the more players you have, the less any player gets to interact with. We played with 5, and I would have preferred 2-3. Having said that, if you're looking for a fun time for a group, this would probably fit the bill better than many games because of the theme and because it's decently parallelizable.

I see why this room has won so many awards. The colorful set, the Game Show announcer in the room with you, and the fun variety of puzzles make for a great time. This room is fun for beginners to enthusiasts. There is something for everyone to do.
