The Escape Game Chicago is located just off famed Michigan Avenue, close to countless entertainment and dining options. It’s easy to make an evening of it by pairing an escape room with dinner and post‑game drinks. Local favourites such as Big Bowl Chinese, Gordon Ramsay Burger and Pizzeria Duo are all within walking distance of the venue.

Inside, you’ll choose from five unique themed rooms. One is the cosmic adventure Mission: Mars, and the most difficult option is Prison Break. Each family‑friendly game typically accommodates up to eight players, spans multiple rooms and delivers a highly immersive experience. As you move through the rooms, you’ll follow clues and solve puzzles together to complete your mission. Their escape rooms have won awards, and staff will support your group as you play.

    Additional information

    Suitable for all physical fitness levels

    Games are recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger players are allowed, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. An adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.

    You will be in a room with a locked door, but every door is equipped with an exit button. Should you feel the need to leave the room, you are welcome to do so at any time.

    Each game is designed for one hour of intense fun! Plan to spend 15 minutes prior to each game preparing and briefing for your mission, and 15 minutes after each game to debrief and take photos.

    The Escape Game experiences are very different from what you typically see in other escape rooms. These games aren't scary or dark. They are exciting, adventurous, and something all guests can enjoy.
