FAQS ABOUT ESCAPE THE
ROOM IN CHICAGO, OAK BROOK

WHAT IS ESCAPE THE ROOM EXACTLY?

Chicago’s Escape The Room raises the stakes and excitement to reinvigorate players’ love of games in a number of different themed escape rooms to find the right game for you. You and your friends can choose between The Submarine, Three Mile Island, The Dig, Jurassic Escape, The Clock Tower, or The Theater at our Oak Brook location. Once you’ve successfully escaped one room, we hope you’ll try your hand at the others in Oakbrook Center.

WHAT IS AN 'ESCAPE ROOM'?

Escape rooms are a real-life gaming experience where players have full control over the outcome of the game. Escape rooms are designed to lock players inside until they are able to free themselves. Your escape depends on your ability to find hidden objects, clues and solve puzzles to earn your freedom. Uncover the room’s secrets before time runs out!

HOW DO ESCAPE ROOMS WORK?

Teams will have to work together and combine their wits to successfully free themselves before time runs out. While you will essentially be locked inside a room, know that you may ask to be let out if you or anyone else feels uncomfortable for any reason during the course of the game. Your safety and comfort are among our highest priorities.

HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF AN ESCAPE ROOM?

Once the room is locked, you have 60 minutes to uncover clues and solve puzzles. It’s up to your team to crack the code in time! No cheat codes and no unfair advantages will be given by our team!

HOW CAN I PLAY ESCAPE THE ROOM?

Gather your friends, coworkers and book the room of your choice. Each room offers its own immersive atmosphere. Escape rooms are the perfect chance to delight your brain with puzzles and clues while having fun with others (away from laptops, computers and the daily grind).

Think an escape room would be a great couple’s activity? No problem! You don’t need to buy all the tickets available for a room to play. Buy as many tickets as you need and your group will be added into a game with other teams that want to play in that room as well.

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT MY GROUP IN AN ESCAPE ROOM?

You can actually book an entire room for your group. To do so, you must find a date and time that is completely available and purchase the entire block of tickets.

WHERE IS THE CLOSEST PARKING TO ESCAPE THE ROOM?

We recommend customers park for free in the Oakbrook Center orange and blue parking garages.

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR ANY OF THE ESCAPE ROOMS?

Though all of our puzzles are designed for adult minds, we welcome all ages. However, if any member of your party is 14 years of age or under, there must be at least one adult chaperone to accompany unless you have booked the entire room (though we still encourage having an adult present). If any member of your party is 10 years or under, you must purchase all tickets for a room to ensure it is a private game as a courtesy to our other customers.
