Don’t let your claustrophobia keep you from experiencing the fun! For the safety and enjoyment of all players, a participant may exit escape game at any time if things get too real.

You’ve probably heard something about escape rooms by now, but are still not sure exactly what it is. The concept of escape room games started in Japan as the online game “Takagism” In 2007, it was first brought to real life as an escape room game. By 2015, there were over 2,800 escape rooms in the world. Imagine the escape room as one large puzzle made of multiple smaller puzzles, riddles, and clues that you need to solve together with your team. Each escape room has a unique theme and goal. It is also a fantasy. In the game, you become a world traveler, a detective, a bank robber, someone in big trouble, or someone who will save the world from nuclear disaster. The themes and possibilities are endless. The final goal is most often to escape the room but it could be any other fantasy goal (like finding the hidden key to a safe, solving a murder scene, or disarming a bomb) before the one-hour timer runs out. This exciting new concept brings the popular online game into real life and gives players the opportunity to use their wits, teamwork skills, and intelligence to accomplish a unique and challenging task. Escape rooms are often mistakenly assumed to be games for kids, but the reality is that it is fun for all ages. It is often used as a team-building activity for corporate customers, birthday parties, it is a great bachelorette party idea (or bachelor) and other celebrations or events. (Our escape room in Naperville has 3 different rooms and can accommodate up to 26 players at a time.

“Old Tavern” is slow paced game, but it is still quite challenging and will require whole team to discuss and share information to be successful in the game. 

“Witch House” involves lots of trickery. It is a quite difficult room and it is not about being scary. It is about interacting with objects in the room and finding the ways to outsmart the witch.

“Prison Escape” is what you would experience in real life prison escape. Team work is essential in this room. Your group will be separated into different cells and will have to communicate and exchange objects to progress in the game.
