The Escape Game Chicago, Chicago

My first escape room and it definitely exceeded my high expectations! I did Mission Mars for my birthday this weekend with a room full of my friends. We all had a blast and it was very exciting each time we solved each step. The puzzles are dynamic and challenging but very fun to solve. We escaped too! They even dropped in a birthday pin for me with one of the clues which was awesome! I definitely want to try the other rooms now!

This was my first escape room, and it was a blast!!! All of the rooms are themed, and we did the Mars mission. We were all amazed by the intricacy of the clues, and how much we had to work to escape. There were multiple spaces to find clues, and not only was it difficult, but it was ingenious. Everything had a purpose and if you were stumped for a while, they were happy to give small clues. There were multiple people in our party that had done them at other places, and they said this was the best one they had done. The only caveat I would say is that after 40 minutes or so, it started to get warmer in the room. Still comfortable, but noticably warmer. Our group had 7 people, which was the perfect size. Any more than 8 would make it hard to move around or to communicate between us. And I only came in knowing 3 of the group, but it was still a lot of fun. Would definitely go back!
