Arctic Expedition

This was my 3rd 60 to Escape experience at Woodfield (completed Magic Heist and Lockbuster) and Arctic Expedition did not disappoint. We had 2 newer players with us today (6 total), and 6 was an ok amount due to the blended levels of experience. 3-5 is probably an ideal amount of players for this room. Lots of cool tech in this room with many different items that when situated correctly, create the desired outcome (and it feels rewarding when it happens with the lights and sound letting you know your achievement). Teamwork is definitely needed in this room to achieve a couple of the puzzles. This room had a couple of cool experiences that I have yet to experience…1 being a real compound that most people use everyday (and was perfect for this themed room, and super cool to interact with) and the other was very “video game” like, and really fun. We did not use any hints until the last 25 minutes and each hint we received allowed us to confirm what needed to happen next to move forward. Our GM, Robert, was super laid back and delivered great timely hints when we needed them. We have had a different GM each time at Woodfield and all have been great. Customer service is definitely amazing here. Overall, super cool sets, fun atmosphere, story, and we were able to get out with a little over 1 minute remaining, so we had a nice rush of excitement at the end. Can’t wait to do the next 60 to Escape room!

While I enjoy other rooms at this location more, this room still makes my top ten of all rooms and has a super different theme I've never seen before. Every clue is fair and pretty straightforward. The set is awesome as always at 60 to escape. It was also a good mix of techy and mechanical clues. Great experience.

Rating: 3.5/5 - Enjoyable room, but didn't love it, 60 To Escape has better rooms and I felt it was one of their more difficult rooms. Pros: *Some cool effects and tech interactions *Set was high quality and fairly immersive with lots of detail *They did a good job integrating the arctic theming into some of the puzzles *More than 1 room to explore *Minimal use of padlocks, but the ones that were there didn't feel out of place *GM was friendly and helpful Could be better: *No animatronics like in some of their other rooms (they set the bar too high themselves 😂) *Not much of a storyline *No big reveals, twists, or "wow" moments *Game didn't flow too well for our team, there were a lot of moments where we felt stuck or didn't know what to do next or didn't see what was triggered, more so than some of their other rooms *There was one puzzle that felt very unintuitive and made us a bit annoyed *Ending felt more cringey than exciting It's playable as a team of two, I'd recommend 2-4. My ranking of 60 to Escape rooms (all locations) so far starting with my favorite: 1. Cheesie's Pizza Party ❤️ 2. Invasion ❤️ 3. Mystery Manor ❤️ 4. Hidden Temple ❤️ 5. Blast From The Past 👍 6. Arctic Expedition 👍 7. Magic Heist 👍

Not the greatest from 60, but still good. The puzzles weren’t confusing they were just bland. You’d complete something and have a now what moment. Great props and a really amazing atmosphere.

Great arctic adventure from 60 to Escape! Loved the set effects, which is also for a theme we don’t often see. A lot of clever ideas are put together well to provide a wide array of puzzle clues and inputs. Prop designs are excellent, particularly one large one. The room is tricky, but will likely not be too long or difficult for escape vets. We totally got frozen up at the beginning, but once that all melted, the flow was smooth and fun! Haven’t been disappointed with a 60 to Escape room yeti!

The set design was great just like all other games from 60 to Escape. The puzzle design fit the theme well, but the flow took some getting used to. It was not the easiest and we struggled at the start. It did take us a minute to get going and find our flow with the game, but with the help of the GM we found our groove. This is a solid game, but I would put it as one of their harder games at this location.
