Magic Heist

This was our 3rd room at this location and we have loved them all. This one was very fun. Lots of puzzles to work on simultaneously for our experience group of 4. Theming is perfect as always with 60 to Escape. Puzzles were creative and fit with the room very well. I recommend taking some Advil before you arrive— can be very loud.

Super immersive and just absolutely gorgeous room. There’s just some really fun and clever puzzles that make you feel really accomplished and proud after you solve them.

Excellent theming. Love that a magic themed room actually uses common magic tricks in the puzzles!

The defining feature of Magic Heist is the theming of the entire experience. The quality of the set and the puzzles are top notch. Even when some of the puzzles frustrated us when we knew what to do (or thought we knew what to do) but couldn’t quite get there, solving them was very satisfying each time. Not once did a solution seem dumb or poorly thought out. Overall, this was a great experience for experienced escapers.

I was a bit disappointed in this room as I felt that a lot of the “puzzles” weren’t puzzles at all but rather a live game of eye-spy. Many if not most of the puzzles were more a reflection of your observational skills rather than your ability to solve puzzles. Some puzzles were time suckers either because it was difficult to hear or see, figuring out which door opened after solving, or because other parts of it were so distracting it took time to realize the answer part. I think that’s just lazy game making personally. The set was phenomenal though!

Magic Heist was a lot of fun with good use of technology. Game was not linear, so people could be working on various puzzles at the same time. Had a really fun time.

This is such a unique spin on regular magic rooms as it feels like you're in Houdinis office (but with references to the magician from the mystery manor room at 60 to escape). It incorporates every sort of magic trick you have seen in your life with clue solving fashion. The set is unbelievable and had me jaw dropped. I did this room with just one other person and we finished just on time with about 2 minutes left. I wish the ending was a bit different but the whole process was very cool. Steps are both linear and non linear as you can start with any clue in any order. If you are stuck on any one clue you can move onto another which is nice. I will say that sound effects were frustrating in this room and you should definitely listen, feel, and look at everything in this room to not get stuck.

60 to Escape continues to impress! We’re really sad that we’re about to move out of Chicago because we want to visit all the locations! Magic Heist had a great variety of puzzles, and the set was beautiful as usual! My husband and two brothers-in-law have a mix of different levels of experience, yet it was enjoyable for everyone! Our game master was fun and helpful and made our time enjoyable as well. We will absolutely make it a point to return to the area to play the rest of the new games opening soon as well as visit the other locations!

Awesome room and set design. Avi was a great game master. Lots to do in the room. We did it woth 3 but could see how there is plenty to do for groups of more. Def recommend all rooms by this company
