7 geez.
some friends and i did a zombie one downtown, the zombie dude had to groan all day long that seems a pain. as time went by his chain got longer and if he touched you you dead. they said we were on track for a record pace around the 75% mark, although we got stuck for a while there. we had enough info that i could just brute force remaining permutations of possible unlock combos to escape, so i started doing that while people kept working on puzzles, got it the 2nd try.
while looking for things to do on some intl trips i'd see this fairly often and rated fairly high on tripadvisor, the chicago one is the only one i've done though. was pretty fun, would escape again ++

Vault Escape: #1 Rated Escape Room Game in Chicago, IL
Definitely worth the trip. We're thinking about going back to try the Mad Scientist room and/or the two other rooms they are currently constructing.

The one that [MENTION=750]RICH17[/MENTION] mentioned was an absolute blast. Went with like 10 friends to this really weird building where one of the rooms was set up to look like a train car was parked in it. Right off the bat, I was skeptical because the thing was built with scrap plywood, corrugated roofing material, and other various scraps. We step inside the train car and it looked a little better, but at first glance, it pretty much just seemed like an empty train car. Once the timer got started, you start to realize that just about literally everything around you is a subtle clue. This one in particular was REALLY well executed because the controller/host person can deliver hints as they realize you are getting stuck. I think they always aim for you to be able to complete the mission but give you an idea of how many hints they pitched you at the end. Since then, I've been wanting to do another one real bad. They are a whole bunch of fun.
my wife took me to Mastermind in Schaumburg for my 30th birthday, we had about 12 people and it was a blast!!! Iirc it had a 30% success rate, we didn't figure it out but we were soooo close when they gave us a clue at the end.

we did the bank heist one, I had a good time, felt stupid at the end because we overlooked a couple of easy things.
