Operation G.R.A.N.I.E.

We had so much fun, and the energy was so uplifting that it made the experience unforgettable.

The experience was a highlight of our time together, filled with laughter and positive energy.

We couldn’t help but smile the whole time—it was the kind of joy we all needed.

A delightful experience that lifted our spirits and brought the group closer together.

The energy was contagious, and it made the whole experience a lot more fun for everyone.

We had a group of 4 for the G.R.A.N.I.E. room, including a 10 year old. We had a blast and thankfully we had Jace helping us on the camera/microphone! Great room that is appropriate for any age!

We really enjoyed their GRANIE and Pirate room! Had a group of 8 and escaped both with just a few minutes. Our agent was super helpful and nice.

We did the G.R.A.N.I.E. escape room and it really was fun! We were a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids ages 10 and 12). This had a variety of puzzles and and rooms. We did need some hints but overall it didn't feel impossible or too easy. We finished with just about 1 min and a half left. This is the second room we have done with this company and that was also a positive experience (The Railcar). I hope to come back here in the future. The puzzles are fun, creative but not ridiculously frustrating. Our family had a memorable and enjoyable time, thank you!

Did the Operation G.R.A.N.I.E. Escape room and it was very well set up. There were a ton of puzzles and overall experience was well worth the money. Would highly recommend this room for anyone in groups of 4 or more!

Wonderful experience! We did operation Granie with two adults and four kids ages eight to eleven and everyone had a blast! We live in the city and just wanted to do a staycation this spring break and this was definitely a perfect activity for the week! I definitely recommend it. We went with one other family and we definitely will do it again.

We had my son's 12th birthday party with Escape Artistry and had a great time in Operation G.R.A.N.I.E. The kids worked so well together and with the guidance of Agent 'A' and her crew we (nearly) tackled the challenging room! It was awesome and we are already planning our next visit!

I had family visiting from out of town and looking for something different to entertain three teenage boys, parents and grandmother. This was perfect! We did Operation GRANIE. Only two in group had previous escape room’s experience. Agent Bjorn gave the right amount of hints when we needed it without making us feel like idiots (even though I think we were some of the time. Ha!) We got out just in time and had great family fun. Will definitely be back for another escape!

8 of us had a great time yesterday doing Operation G.R.A.N.I.E. With Rosie and JR guiding us, we managed to beat the clock and escape. This was our second escape room with Escape Artistry and we plan to book another. These have been fun adventures with family and friends during the Covid-19 lockdown.

We are two experienced players with 30+ and 150+ rooms under our belt. We played "Operation Grannie," which was a fun, clever, cute room with some unique puzzles we'd never seen before. Plus our game master, Jayce, was one of the best we'd ever had. She was enthusiastic, attentive, and good at giving nudges.

If you're experienced players, 2 is a sufficient number to complete the puzzles and feel like you've gotten to experience the whole room. For beginners, 4-5 people would suffice; any more than that and the room gets too crowded in my opinion.

Fun! We enjoyed Operation G.R.A.N.I.E. with four adults and two kids. The operator gave us a good blend of help when we needed it, so we were able to squeeze out a victory for our 9-year old's birthday.

We did the Operation: G.R.A.N.I.E. escape room. I've been to a few escape rooms before, and we had a group of four. Staff stayed in character and were a little punchy, which might not always be for everyone but we enjoyed. Kids in particular would probably get a kick out of it. Puzzles were solid, though one of them didn't quite work correctly, but the staff came out and fixed it as quickly as they could. Overall it was lovely and I plan on going back with some friends who really love escape rooms!

Imaginative production design and well-executed! My top choice for escape room in Chicago. I've played 3 of theirs- Operation GRANIE being my favorite so far.

NicoleJanuary 24, 2018

Fantastic environment for groups. Came with close friends and had a great time. Difficult puzzles for the GRANNIE room but definitely a must. Good for groups. Definitely show up on time.

SallyJanuary 24, 2018

Perfectly challenging and exciting. And the staff is truly passionate about the experience. I booked the whole hour block for me and my 9 friends, and it was a blast. It's a good blend of word puzzles and math/engineering puzzles. There are so many puzzles and gives everyone a chance to shine.

JamieFebruary 6, 2017

This was our first escape the room experience. Loved solving the riddles and puzzles and finding clues to complete the granie mission! It was pretty hard and challenging but we all had a fun time! Can't wait to try another one soon!
