Mark as done to rate

Bubba and his gang are collectors of some very, VERY valuable items. They’re hidden in his pawn shop and y'all’re gonna swipe the loot from his mob. If y'all're after that 'big score,' that 'retirement job'...then this escape room in Chicago is it. If your ragtag group of thieves can make your way through Bubba's shop, y'all'll be able to grab yourself some items that'll be enough to retire six-times-over. Be careful though 'cause Bubba don't take too kindly to strangers poking around where they don't belong. Get in, and get out, while all y'all still can...if you ain't careful, y'all'll end up in cement shoes.

A fun yet mildly challenging escape room. I completed this with my father and a wonderful duo of strangers. The set design was well-made, and the puzzles were neither too difficult nor too easy, however some could have been more challenging. The staff was incredible, however it is Luke, I believe his name was, who particularly stands out. Overall, a very fun and welcoming atmosphere with a well-made escape room. Wonderful time, certainly reccomend.

Some puzzles do depend on having a taller person with you, which as a 4'8" woman was expected however mildly unfortunate. Nothing is age inappropriate besides mentions of smoking, drinking, and a censored usage of the word 'shit'.

We got stuck on some items that were not relevant (Fishing in the wrong room, trying to go on the other side of the mouse trap…) The room was too heavy with locks and felt underwhelming compared to other games we’ve played.

This was a fun experience, though I give it an automatic points off for being a public room. There isn’t a lot of room for the 8 people crammed into tiny spaces. Besides that, the room had good puzzles, though it will probably be nothing you haven’t seen before if you’ve done a lot of rooms. I appreciated the variety of skills the tasks required, and use of voiceover and lighting was effective. Despite the name, there is no mafia or gang. The “mob” is Bubba’s group of pawn collectors, so the whole setting is a pawn shop. Would I recommend breaking in at Bubba’s? Yes if you want some good pawn shop themed puzzles and don’t mind strangers, then whatsamatter you, try it out! But if you don’t want to have a public experience for what is otherwise a mostly slightly above average room, then fuggedabout it!

Yes

One prop was a bit broken, which may be important for a reason. Also, I bumped into a sharp tack and caused a poster to fall because there is not enough room for 8 people at Bubba’s.
