Had a GREAT time for a family member’s birthday. Ty was a great game master and made the night really fun. He gave just the right amount of encouragement. Highly recommend the Kong room!

Lock Chicago has a great set up for the escape rooms. It is fun for beginners or they have a room that is more advanced. They have 3 rooms in total. The rooms are themed well and it was a lot of fun.

The Kong room was super fun, immersive and cleverly designed! The host Ty was lovely and welcoming. Very family-friendly room too - we did it with 4 adults and 3 kids and there were plenty of hands-on puzzles that the kids could solve. Highly recommend!

Incredible!! We went for my Uncle’s birthday. It was the first time for all of us. When you first get in the room it can be a little intimidating. We took a hint right off the bat. Ty, the game master, gave us great hints throughout. The theme of this was to open a treasure chest to bang the drum of peace. Which we learned was unique to usual escape rooms. We loved it and definitely recommend 10/10!!

We had an amazing time at this challenge room! Our group of four had one hour to solve multiple puzzles, and we loved every minute of it. The puzzles were well-designed, interesting, and kept us engaged as we searched for clues and worked our way through the challenges. The Japanese theme added a fun and immersive touch to the experience. The staff was friendly, upbeat, and very helpful. If we ever got stuck, they provided hints that were perfectly tailored to our progress, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys escape rooms or puzzle-solving adventures! Shout out to ty for being a great host
