Top Illinois Escape Games

I had great customer service from bren he was soooo sweet so welcoming I loved my experience

Easy to book and a really fun hour in a well presented escape room. High production level with good intro and helpful tips with great videos and story twists. Good chat with Danny, a fellow Brit on the front desk.

This was such a fun way to spend an afternoon! Four friends and I (all in our late 20s/early 30s) spent the day figuring out the game and had a blast. It was such a fun way to spice up a Sunday afternoon, especially as a local. I saw parts of Old Town I didn't know existed before and overall it was a great experience. I got my roommate the game for Christmas and would highly recommend giving it as a gift!

We recently did the Escapely Fulton Market tour with s group celebrating my daughter and her fiance. We divided into teams and had the best time. The biggest problem was that the air quality was supposed to be horrible that day (Canadian fires) and we were afraid we were going to have to switch to a way to do it indoors. The way this game is set up, we could have done that- not nearly as much fun as running around finding things in person- but doable. Luckily, the weather cleared and despite some rain, we had so much fun. I really appreciate the detail they went into and the way they make it so people of all different levels could participate. Plus, we were able to have an easy pivot that we didn't need! Funny thing, as we were starting our teams off, we saw another group- a bachelor party- doing the same thing!

My husband and I had an amazing time! I ordered the box to be delivered, and we waited for a nice, free weekend day to head over to Old Town to try it out. The puzzles were creative and engaging, and there was a nice story to move things along. We were able to move at our own pace, and there were hints where we needed them. It was a great way to spend some time exploring this part of the city! They also do a great job of keeping it up to date; there was one puzzle which referred to something that isn't present anymore, but the web app was updated to show a picture of what would have been there. A couple of the puzzles really stumped us and we needed to use hints, but most of them were just the right level of difficulty. It took a couple of hours; it's great for locals, and if time permits, I think it could be a fun activity for those visiting the city as well.

Clever and fun puzzles with not too much walk but enough to explore the neighborhood!

Directions need some work. Mapquest or google maps , whichever Cool Destinations uses, missed the mark quite often. Without the photo clue it would be tough to follow.

This was so much more than I expected for the small cost! Someone was extremely patient and helpful to allow me to get this going on my phone. Then the clues, the areas we needed to find, and the comments and questions were all loads of fun! This was a highlight of our 3 day get away to Springfield!! We are 76 and 81 years of age. The walking distance was just right for us. We may have been slower than most, but it didn't matter. We finished. Thank you!!

We played Legend of the Yeti, one of the company's newest rooms and we enjoyed it a lot. Sydney, our game guide was fantastic!

Really nice staff, including Nathan who hosted our room. He gave good hints and was the right amount of helpful. The room itself was high quality, with great sets and props, original puzzles, and a good story. We had a ton of fun, and wished we had time for another room!

We did Escapely's "Escape the City" ghost-hunting adventure around Old Town and had a blast. We played it to celebrate Touch Grass Day, and it was the perfect excuse to get outside, walk the neighborhood, and disconnect from our phones and screens for a while.The puzzles were clever and varied. My personal favorite was listening to the witness statements about where the ghosts were spotted and deducing who was telling the truth to uncover a name, a really satisfying bit of logic. Someone else in our group loved the teacups puzzle toward the end. The whole thing struck a great balance of challenging without being frustrating.We'll definitely be recommending Escapely to friends and can't wait to tackle our next game, whether here in the city or somewhere new. Thanks for a great time!

It was a blast! The best part was arriving at the History Trail just in time to see the vows of a wedding behind the Chicago History Museum -- we love the way Escapely boxes allow for that serendipitous kind of moment. In the game itself, we really enjoyed the recorded "ghost sightings" along Wells Street --- they were really well-written and recorded and made for a fun interactive puzzle.

We had a great time with the game. First experience with escapely and it won’t be the last. Great packaging and great riddles and clues. Well thought out. Keep them coming!

I did this escape adventure with my 10 year old kids and my parents. Despite the cold weather, we all had a great time! We especially enjoyed the final puzzle, which we solved while eating donuts at Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken.

This was a ton of fun, I have visited Springfield off and on for my whole life and didn’t realize how much of the city I was actually missing until this tour took me there - we did the driving option.

Had a great time playing this detective game . Would Def recommend to anyone looking for something to do as a couple or group . Can't wait for more scenarios.
