I have always wanted to do an actual escape room, rather than playing the board/card games. I…read morefinally got to experience it for the first time for my birthday and it was such a wonderful and amazing time! With the pandemic happening, we weren't sure what to expect. I was in a group of 4 with the youngest person being 10 years old. We all had our masks on and we were greeted by the hostess. She and the other people working there also had masks on. We were given the option to take our masks off once we entered the room to start the game. Before we were shown to our room, they played a small video to teach players the basic rules and guidelines, such as no climbing on furniture and no cell phone use during the entirety of the game. Once that was over, the hostess explained a few more rules to help us understand parts of the game. For example, the function of the different locks. Another useful thing they told us was that we are only given 3 hints to ask, but throughout the game, there is a display that'll have directions to sort of help us get on the right track! The theme we played was called, "The Quest for the Throne" which was a 3.5/5 for difficulty rating. Now, we're not allowed to say anything specific about the puzzles so new players can experience them. But we enjoyed them a lot! Some of them were challenging, others we figured out immediately. There were two puzzles in particular that ate up a lot of our time, and we ultimately failed. Though if we had completed them, we only had two puzzles left before we could escape. Overall, the party and I really enjoyed our time there!! Definitely a place for people of all ages. The facility was nice and clean, and the people working there were super nice. I really hope this place stays for a long time! We already can't wait to try out the other themes!

We tried "The Passage" room and I don't want to spoil it, but there were multiple rooms and even a water feature built in. You could tell that they put a ton of work into the room(s), from the build quality to the complexity of the clues. Joe, one of the owners, was very generous with clues and talked to us afterwards about the new rooms he will be setting up. This was one of the coolest escape room experiences we've ever had.

My first escape room experience, which I found to be about the right amount of challenging as our…read moregroup did the Arkham Asylum room. I liked many things about this spot like the parking wasn't too difficult, the attendant was very nice and helpful, and the overall quality of the room I thought was good. There was a considerably amount of red herrings here that prevented the room from being solved too quickly - definitely promoting better communication and teamwork, and great attention to detail in order to successfully solve the rooms. I liked the wide variety of different puzzles available and the vastly different feel to each room. Overall, fun experience and although not cheap -- I feel the effort put into designing the room justifies the cost. I would do more experiences here again in the future with more friends.

We had low expectations from the start but it was Amazing. The doctor won't steer you wrong. 5 stars

My husband and I went to try our first escape room together at Odyssey and I thought it was pretty…read moregood! It's located across from Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, in the 999 plaza next door. There's plenty of parking which is always a plus. As soon as you walk up to the entrance you'll see a sign for Odyssey. We came 15 minutes before our reservation time. During this time they just want to review the safety guidelines with you before they taken you into the room for your game. We did the "Towering Inferno" and unfortunately did not make it out alive. The rooms are clean and the staff are all friendly. I don't have other places to compare to but in my opinion I can say this place is low key in technology. When we first entered the room, a staff member gives you the plot by reciting the story. I guess I wanted a more dramatic storyteller but it felt like a low key lecture I guess? 2 people can definitely solve it but it would've been better if we had at least 3 or 4 people. For this challenge, I would say about half of it is solved on computers. The other half are lock combinations. At the end we were told the last bits of info of how we could have finished and escaped. They will take a picture for you inside the room at the end and also offer a group picture with signs in front of their Odyssey sign in the main lobby. I felt like this was a pretty good experience. Again, the space is clean and I am interested in coming back to try their other escape rooms. Don't try to walk-in, make sure to make a reservation on their site! Google for a discount code before you reserve a room. I also saw people mention something on Groupon for deals.

Second time here! First was for the mystery mini golf, second for an escape room. The mystery mini…read moregolf was brand new at the time I went. The concept was unique. In addition to playing mini golf, you're trying to solve various riddles at each hole to solve a mystery. I was hoping the prize for solving would be more interesting than a sticker, but it was still a pretty good time. I'd probably stick to Puttshack next time I wanna play mini golf, though. For the escape room, my boyfriend and I did Mystery Manor. With the additional price of unlimited hints (I think this helped), our price for two was around $100. I thought it was pretty expensive, but after the experience, I do think it was pretty worth it. There were many nuances to the escape room, which included various rooms and additional spaces you unlock by solving each part. At the end, they offer to take a picture for you and give you a little envelope to open (if you get out). Overall, positive experience! I'd return for the escape room.

After escaping the room (with only 46 seconds left...*pants), I was blown away by how creative and…read moretechy this place was. Out of maybe the 5 or 6 different places I've been to for an escape the room (some out of state, some around the area), this was my favorite one. With only 3 reviews seen on Yelp, I was a little hesitant to choose this place over so many others in the area. Groupon gave us a good price, so we went with this, and I'm glad we did. We did the "my crazy ex" room, which was great, and I hope to be back for the high school reunion, which the owner said had some scary features added to it. He said he used to work with haunted houses too, so I'm pretty interested in seeing what that one is like. It is similar to other escape the rooms where you find clues and input it in the locks to unlock the various locks in the room, but this was was so techy that they used other creative tactics to unlock boxes, drawers, etc. To be honest, I at first thought it was a little lame because I thought the person watching us just opened things with a press of a button when we did different actions, but I asked later on, and he showed us how different things worked. Hard to describe without giving spoilers of the room, but I'd have to say I was seriously mind blown about how creative things were and how fancy the technology was here. I loved this factor added into it. They have a 10 minute game that's only $5 a person on certain hours of weekdays, so we will most likely be back for this too! I definitely was hesitant at first to come here due to a few things (barely any Yelp reviews, homemade looking winner/loser signs/a few things that made it not look as professional or techy (the Hotmail email address :D....sorry, break escape for throwing you under here), but after experiencing their room, I'd really have to say there is a mastermind here who made these and put these rooms together. Not sure how this place only got 3 reviews, but I'd highly recommend coming here and I'll be back for sure! Thanks break escape!
