Escape Artistry - The Railcar, Chicago

Gadget was our instructor and did a fantastic job of guiding us into the game. He made it comfortable for several of us who had not participated in one of these before. Really fun and a team effort. Found out how important it was to talk things through out loud. Would definitely do it again!!

I've done around 140 escape rooms, and did Railcar while visiting Chicago for work. The set is as-advertised, with a Chicago vibe, which is one of the main draws of this room. The set in combination with the story actually made this room more immersive than average, and the puzzles were reasonable and somewhat integrated with the story. However, a couple issues made this room disappointing: it didn't feel like there was a logical progression through the story, the ending seemed abrupt, and I felt that there should have been more movement between rooms to make better use of the space. Overall, a decent room and worth doing if you happen to be in Chicago and craving a room, but not worth going out of your way for. I'm giving this company a 5/5 because Railcar was a solid, fun game.
