Description:

Some say that a building can retain memories and imprints of emotions. If that’s true, 1000 W Spring Street is more haunted than most.

An outpatient center for nearby Elgin State Mental Hospital in the 60’s, was shut down for unauthorized experimentation on patients.

Following this, it was converted into an academy for troubled youth… That is until an entire class and teacher disappeared in 1978, ruining the reputation of the school and leaving the building abandoned and untouched to this day.

A recent string of disappearances have caught the attention of the public, and now it’s up to you to discover the secrets hidden within these decrepit walls…

This place has the nicest staff in the NW suburbs! I've played at a lot of escape rooms in Schaumburg, Chicago, and near North Side. Love the twist!

Recommended to use this website from Panic Escape Room. Great room to play and the staff is kind. Fun work outing looking forward to another location that Panic is opening! Split does not play like a normal escape room and thats what I loved about it!

I host a once a month escape room meetup! We enjoyed this game very much! If you guys have any more recommendations, let me know! Split was so much fun! We had 8 people play this game and it was perfect! Not too creepy/scary, the right balance.

    After partially successful exorcism, the house was left abandoned…the house is set for an auction to be sold but there is still a dark presence in that home that must be felt with before it inhabits another victim.
