The Great Escape Room Chicago Introduce

Welcome to The Great Escape Room Chicago, located at 160 E Grand Ave #400, Chicago, IL 60611, USA. As a highly-regarded escape room venue listed in the Theme Park Directory, The Great Escape Room offers local users and visitors engaging and entertaining puzzle-solving adventures suitable for various group sizes.

Based on customer reviews, The Great Escape Room Chicago is known for its excellent staff and enjoyable experiences. One visitor appreciated their host, Rooney, who was not only great but also allowed their group to start their game early and was very helpful with the game rules. Another reviewer highlighted Tommy as a fantastic, funny, and helpful game guide.

Success and enjoyment are common themes in the feedback. One group of three even set a record for the "Mountain Top Murders" room as of March 16th, completing it in approximately 42 minutes with only one hint, expressing their excitement with a resounding "Hells ya." The general sentiment is positive, with a clear recommendation for others to check out the venue.

A group of six who played the "Haunted Hotel" room had a particularly fantastic time. They found the puzzles to be challenging in a fun way and appreciated that the puzzles were non-linear, allowing different members of the group to work on separate clues simultaneously, avoiding crowding. The staff was described as super friendly, and their game master, Andrew, was attentive to their game even though they didn't require any hints. He helpfully pointed out when they had unknowingly triggered something else in the room after solving a puzzle. This group rated their experience a perfect 5/5 and stated their intention to return for more rooms.

We had a group of 6 that did the Haunted Hotel and it was so much fun! The puzzles were challenging in a fun way, and they also weren’t linear meaning that we could work on separate puzzles at the same time so we weren’t all crowding each other over the same clues. The staff was all super friendly and while we didn’t need any hints from our game master Andrew, he was still attentive to our game and chimed in once when we completed a puzzle but didn’t realize it had triggered something else in the room which was nice. All in all, definitely a 5/5 experience and we will be back for more rooms!

This Sherlock Holmes Experience was so much fun! We came with our kids ages 9 & 11 and we all had a blast! We wanted to thank Chris for an amazing time and all of the great clues to helping us solve the case.

First time for myself, son and husband. My son and I enjoyed it but my husband got frustrated w the lack of lighting and some of the locks being difficult to open. It’s good you get unlimited hints! Our room was difficult. It was just us 3 and it would have helped to have more people to think it through. The folks working at the Chicago location are very friendly and helpful. I forget the persons name who was our guide, but they were very sweet and helpful.
