FAQS ABOUT ESCAPE THE
ROOM IN CHICAGO, OAK BROOK

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!

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.

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!

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).

3) Hand sanitizer will be readily available for both staff and patrons.

4) We will provide masks and disposable gloves for any player requesting them.

5) We have added additional time between games to make sure we can thoroughly clean and sanitize the rooms after each and every game.
