What people are saying.
"Really Great Escape Room!"
As advertised: a really great escape room! I’ve done a couple and this was a great puzzle and a lot of fun to figure out. We only needed a few hints.. A great place to go with the family!
"Best Money Spent In Chicago!"
The kids were so happy with the first experience that we immediately booked another one a half an hour later. We did both the game room and the library which are the scavenger hunt version and it was perfect for the kids. Best money we’ve spent in Chicago so far!!! Thank you!!!!
