Why Escape Rooms for Team Building?

Traditional team building activities feel forced. Trust falls, icebreaker games, ropes courses — they check a box but rarely build real connections. Escape rooms are different. Your team faces a genuine challenge together, and the only way to beat the clock is to communicate, delegate, and think creatively as a group.

At Escape The Room Chicago, we've hosted corporate events for companies across the Chicago area — from small startup teams to departments of 100+. With 7 rooms available simultaneously, we can split your group into teams and run a competition-style event where everyone competes for the fastest escape time.

The result? Your team walks out energized, connected, and with a shared story they'll be talking about at the office for weeks. Plus, we're inside Oakbrook Center with free parking and easy access from the Loop, Naperville, Schaumburg, and beyond — so logistics are the easiest part.

We Handle the Details

Your dedicated event coordinator sets up the rooms, splits teams, and creates a competition bracket if you'd like one. You just show up.

Compete & Collaborate

Do you offer group discounts?

Yes! We offer custom pricing for team building events based on group size and the number of rooms booked. Contact us for a quote — the larger the group, the better the rate.

Can we run all the rooms at the same time?

Absolutely. We can schedule all 7 rooms to start simultaneously so every team competes at the same time. This is the most popular format for corporate events.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance for team events, and 3-4 weeks for large groups (20+). The earlier you book, the more time slot options you'll have.
