What groups say about us
Reviews specifically from birthday parties, corporate events, and group outings in Chicago
“Friendly, helpful staff. Fun game in the Gold Rush room. Will go back to try more! We've been going to The Escape Game every year for the past few years, my birthday treat. It's ALWAYS fun, staff is great!”
“Our team has a tradition of going to an escape room together every quarter during our onsite, and The Escape Game Chicago has become our absolute favorite spot. We’ve already completed three of their rooms, and I’ve booked our team sessions here in the past because the experience is always consistently great. We’re looking forward to trying the rest of the rooms next!”
“I booked this spot for my friend's bachelorette outing and we all had an amazing time! The staff was so kind from booking over the phone to our room host!”

Our games are family-friendly, with fun challenges for all ages. Some puzzles will be tricky for younger players, and a few themes—like escaping a prison or stopping an attack—can feel intense. But don’t worry! There’s no adult language, crude jokes, or anything gross—just exciting, immersive fun.
