Best Escape Rooms for Families in Chicago

Alexandra F.:  All the rooms at this escape room in Forest Park are private, with various challenges accommodating up to 10 players at a time, including a vintage game show set, a treehouse, and a spooky graveyard. Families are welcome and kids ages six and up can participate, though game difficulty makes them most appropriate for ages 10 and up. Rooms with kids ages 6-14 must have one paid adult for every 3 kids.

Sarah D.:  No Escape offers challenging, interactive puzzle games in the form of rooms - with only one hour to escape! But don't let the name fool you, the experience is far from scary - it's an intellectual challenge for your child to use their wit and problem-solving skills to escape the room; there is nothing that "pops out" at you. This is a chance to have fun with the whole family! Escape room birthday parties are available, too. As part of the clues, they can even hide a birthday gift or two.

Escape rooms are a fun way to enjoy family time together, especially with older kids who will better appreciate the challenge! Participants are given a mission with 60 minutes to "solve" the room - to escape! Mastermind is a national company committed to innovating thoughtful escape concepts. Themes can rotate and vary in difficulty, but Mastermind can help your family members enjoy an age-appropriate challenge. You can also watch a preview of each online.
