The clock is ticking. You’re locked in a room and debriefed on a mission. Will you find all the hidden clues? Can you crack the codes before time runs out?  Do you have what it takes to solve the final puzzle and find the way out?

That’s the thrill of entering an escape room with a group of friends where only one outcome is guaranteed: you’ll have a great time.

There are a number of imaginative escape room locations in the western suburbs that are sure to put your skills to the test. Here are a few tips to consider before booking your adventure:

  1. Group Size – Escape rooms are created to hold a variety of size groups. Put together a group of friends and reserve a room just for your party. Or, sign-up for the room of your choice and work in conjunction with people you don’t know. Trust us, you’ll become fast friends.
  2. Skill Level – Escape room locations generally provide difficulty ratings and escape rates for each room. Pick a level that matches the aptitude and experience of your group.

  4. Discounts – Before booking the escape room, check to see if they offer a discount on Groupon. You’ll need to do a bit of advance planning because Groupon purchases for escape rooms typically take 24 hours to become valid.
  5. Transportation – The escape room adventure is just one part of a fun evening out. Check out the restaurants and bars near the location and book suburban car service so everyone can enjoy the evening without worrying about who is going to drive home.
