Latest reviews of escape rooms in Chicago with public ticketing
This was great escape room. This was my first one and I loved it. I definitely would recommend it!
GabrielleMy wife and I are enthusiasts and have done about 30 rooms throughout Chicago so we figured we'd explore Evanston and some of the outlying suburbs. Lock Chicago did not disappoint! The puzzles and theme were spot on and the employees working were very helpful and friendly. We liked how Malfunction had two different options to "win" and while we didn't complete the entire room we did just enough to get on their wall of champions! Thanks Lock Chicago for a fun time and definitely recommend checking these guys out for anyone in the area.

Close proximity to Northwestern and the public transit so was easy for us to find their facility.This was the 2nd escape room I did at Lock Chicago's location in Evanston and one of my favorite rooms in the area! I went with my coworkers last month and did their Sunburn room which we loved so I came back with my family to try Matsuri and it did not disappoint. It was slightly easier than Sunburn was but we were still able to escape with 2 minutes to spare. Conveniently located right in downtown Evanston I work at Northwestern so it made it super easy to check these guys out. Highly recommend!
EmilyOne of our favorite escape rooms in the Chicago area! We actually went and did Malfunction in Lock Chicago's original space when they first opened in Evanston and were amazed at the new changes they made to update it. The staff and owners were kind enough to invite us in and give us a tour of the new facility. My family and I are Escape Room fanatics and look forward to doing their newest room soon!
RogerThe best escape in the area bar none!
