Five themed rooms including The Heist, Gold Rush, and Prison Break deliver the chain's signature formula of gorgeous sets, approachable puzzles, and outstanding customer service. The prime Ontario Street location makes it a natural addition to any River North outing.
Escape Artistry in Wicker Park is Chicago's original escape room and still one of its best, with deeply narrative rooms rooted in local history and culture. Highlights include Roaring Dan's Pirate Dungeon (set on Lake Michigan in the early 1900s), Detective vs. Dillinger (a Prohibition-era chase), and The Dollhouse (a genuinely unsettling 1982 serial killer mystery). The 2019 BBB Torch Award winner delivers storytelling-first experiences that feel uniquely Chicago.
Room Escape Adventures created the viral 'Trapped in a Room with a Zombie' concept and continues to run it from the historic Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue. A live actor playing a chained zombie adds a uniquely thrilling physical dimension as teams race to solve puzzles before the chain reaches its full length. Additional themed rooms and a 90s nostalgia room round out the lineup.
