Latest reviews of escape rooms in Chicago with public ticketing
I brought my students here for a team building event/field trip and they absolutely loved it! We did 2 rooms, Matsuri and Sunburn back to back and they were a fun experience for our class to do as a group. We didn't get out of Sunburn but the staff were nice enough to allow us to finish since we were so close.
Alyssa PThis was our 3rd escape room in the Chicago area and it was a blast. The staff were very friendly and did a great job explaining what to expect in the room while keeping it a surprise. The kids were raving about it and we’re already planning birthday parties to go back and try their other rooms. Located very close to Northwestern’s campus in downtown Evanston so lots of good restaurants and food options nearby too.
Eric RippinMy friends and I did Lock Chicago's Sunburn and Malfunction room back in 2016 when they opened and absolutely loved them. Naturally we couldn't wait for them to open their 3rd room which we did last week and IT WAS AMAZING. The owners were nice enough to show us the updates and changes they made since they moved to the new location in Evanston as well. The puzzles were a little easier than their other 2 rooms but still challenging and we were able to escape with just 3 minutes to spare. Definitely recommend checking this room out first at Lock Chicago!
TaraWe had so much fun!!!
CarrieThe wife and I tend to try an escape room or two where ever we go on holiday. This is by far the most fun room we have played. Two teams must work together to escape. So we'll themes and reasonably hard to escape. Really immersive environment. Everything flows very well and pretty logical. Keep your clues till the end....you'll need it.
hmltnangelThis escape room was one of the best rooms we have done!!! All of the challenges really made you think which is something you look for when praticapating in an escape room! Our family had a blast!
