We did the Sherlock Holmes room and had a fantastic time! My son, his girlfriend, her dad and myself are all escape room veterans (we’ve done 10+ rooms) and I can honestly say that this was one of our favorites. It wasn’t the hardest one we’ve ever done but we knew that going into it. So if you’re looking for a place to start in the world of escape rooms, definitely give the Sherlock room a shot! The puzzles are challenging, but not impossible like some we’ve encountered at other places. The staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Can’t wait to come back and try Area 51!

Absolutely had a blast tonight celebrating my birthday here and escaping Area 51 with less than a minute to spare! This was my family and my's first escape room experience and this sets the bar extremely high! It was definitely challenging and we needed 3 clues when we were stumped, but what a thrill to solve the puzzle! We can't stop talking/laughing/smiling at our fun time tonight! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great thing to do!

Our group of 6 tried out the Sherlock themed room. It was such a blast! The puzzles were creative and challenging. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room had many unique twists and surprises! We loved it! Only 1 of us had done an escape room before, but this exceeded all of expectation. We will be trying out more - including coming back here for the other Area 51 themed room they offer. Seriously, check this place out!

The room and owners were great, I was a little late with my arrival and they were totally accommodating. They offer two rooms that were well designed. After completing the first room, we had so much fun we were offered to do the second room, they were well past closing but offered that to us anyway. We had just as much fun in the second room, anyone looking for a fun night Out with some friends I highly recommend escape story

Do yourself a favor and go! Great place, well organized and so much fun. We did the Sherlock room. It was our first escape room and we were not disappointed. We took our 17 & 13 year old. Everyone took part and loved it. Now organizing a trip to do Area 51!

Our family of 6 (including 3 know it all teenagers) came together and we did wonderful for our first experience. So much fun! The guys who run it are fabulous....Explain things great and are quite encouraging. I would highly recommend this place! We are looking forward to trying another room.

I went for my boyfriend's 21st birthday, i wanted something for his amazing brain to work through so it couldn't be to easy....this was absolute perfection! both of the people there were so kind and inviting, it was the most fun i have ever had! We were one clue away from escaping the sherlock holmes room it was put together really well :)I went with my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend, and my bestfriend and her boyfriend...the six of us had a blast :) we could not stop talking about it! i cant wait for them to open more rooms! Go to this place!

Escape Story Chicago is an exemplary escape room! We have done 20+ rooms, and this company is among my favorites. The puzzles are out of the box and fun! The staff was friendly and their clues when asked for were on point. They didn't just give answers but gave helpful direction which we appreciated. The room design was awesome and very engaging. We did the Sherlock room and can't wait to try the Area 51 one as well!

Great way to have fun with friends. 4 of us did the Sherlock Holmes room and we enjoyed the chalenge. The front desk guy was very nice and helpful when needed.

Very well put together rooms. Original themes. Area 51 is harder than the Sherlock room in my opinion, but both are super fun to do. The owners are very cool to deal with.
