A Prison Break that Brought us Closer Together - My wife and I visited The Escape Game Chicago last week and escaped our prison with just one second left ‼️ It was the perfect mix of thrill and challenge, and our game guide, Nathan, gave excellent clues that kept us on track without making it too easy. Afterward, the staff surprised us with thoughtful anniversary and birthday cards (which we had mentioned beforehand), signed by Nathan and Julez. Such a classy touch. This was easily the best escape room experience either of us has ever had ☃️🎆

Amazing experience from game to staff - Absolutely loved this escape room! Great experience and worth the price for the ticket. I went with a group of friends and the rooms were equally challenging and doable making it a good challenge that didn’t feel impossible. The girl assigned to our game, Sydney, was very helpful and friendly and all of us enjoyed talking to her after the game. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely have to go back to do another room!
