The sheer scale and production value of this experience is absolutely amazing. The puzzles are solid and thematic.

For an average team, this room should be 90 minutes to complete it. For an above average team, this room can be completed in the 75 minutes but you will feel rushed. Set design was crazy good. Special effects were on point. The puzzles felt within theme.

You can definitely tell that first and foremost, the people who built this game are haunt builders. One of the most interesting and immersive sets I’ve ever experienced, just like all the other reviews say. However, you can also clearly tell that they’re haunt builders because this game’s puzzles were mostly all bad. I think 80% of them were button pushing or entering a digit code into a keypad. Many of the puzzles had absolutely zero sense of direction and in the later half of the game we basically needed help with everything. There was also a red herring that sunk about 3 minutes of our time because it was obvious we should do something with it and then our game master told us to ignore it. There was a puzzle at the very end that was super cool, but again, no sense of direction to actually get the pieces to complete it. Clue system is done through a walkie talkie as well which I always hate, and we failed on the last puzzle and needed about 2 minutes or so to complete. (Which wouldn’t have been an issue without the clearly placed red herring) TLDR: extremely interesting and immersive set but really really bad puzzles.

We’ve done almost 50 rooms as a family and this is easily one of our favorites. The set is over the top immersive. Really really well done. The tech worked well. The puzzles were fun. Solvable but not easy. We will be trying more rooms at this place. Worth the drive.

An absolutely stunning room. The puzzles are solid, with some pretty interesting ones, but the set was the focus being enormous and dynamic. Hyper- realism was achieved, and sometimes it was a little too easy to disassociate from the puzzles and just waste time admiring the incredible set. That is a mistake because this room has a ton of puzzles and you will have to move efficiently to escape. The puzzles were well integrated, logical,and enjoyable (for the most part), apart from some puzzles that felt bland or just tacked on. The story was good as well. It is mostly linear, so I wouldn’t really recommend more than 5 people because there will be a lot of standing around. Overall, the best room I have done in the Chicagoland area!

This is an interesting room to review. It's a large labyrinthine of a room with some of the highest production values I've seen as well as some very unique aesthetics. However, for a larger group, this room is fairly linear and involved a lot of people watching one smaller set of people solve the individual puzzles. However, for the experience, it is one of the better ones I've done.

Mind blowing how massive in scale and fun factor this room is! Calling it just a “room” is a disservice to Mafia Heist because it feels like an absolute full adventure! The venue isn’t lying when it touts this experience as the biggest Midwest escape room. It spans a ridiculous number of rooms over apparently 2 stories. Which is NUTS! And I loved every minute of this 75-minute juggernaut! We went as a group of 4 and I don’t think we would have escaped with any less than that. The puzzles are no slouch, and require lots of logic, dexterity, and math. They’re mostly good, though there are a few annoying ones that maybe didn’t actually work as intended. The game kept surprising us around every corner. Honestly one of the top games I’ve ever experienced, and one of the top choices for the Chicagoland suburbs! Well done, you mad lads at Mind Trap! Well freaking done!

The room was large with some fun puzzles. We had to ask for a couple clues and the game master told us that “no body gets those and we have to give everyone that” Overall, happy we did the room. Good theming and fun puzzles.
