Our family of 5 (ages 8 - 43) enjoyed the escape room as part of a family birthday celebration. It was the first time for all of us and we had a blast! The rooms are engaging, the sets intricate, and the owners super-nice. Such a treat to have this in downtown Wilmette. Fun for all! We highly recommend.

The rooms handle 12 people. We had 6 in our group. Another group of 6 joined us. We were a good fit for each other. This was so much fun!!! It was challenging and very interesting. We loved it and will be back.

This is the best escape I have ever done! It was challenging but not too hard. Most importantly the owners are super nice and you receive great customer service. We had a group of 11 people ranging in age 13 to 50 years old. Every single one of us had a blast.
Even if you dont live around the area, it's well worth the drive!!

Brand new. Had two groups of about 7-8 fourteen year olds do this. Some had been there before but the clues and puzzles change. Well worth a visit. They all had a blast.

A ton of fun!! I have been to a few escape rooms around Chicago but this was theonly one that had me engaged for the entire hour. The puzzles and story are "refreshingly" original and challenging but not so much you're pulling hair in frustration. Afterward my wife and I went down the block to the Valley Lodge Tavern for dinner where we talked about the room for another hour! I definitely recommend!!

It was a pleasure, we're excited you had a great experience. We are building new puzzles and rooms as we speak, come back and try to escape our new rooms as we roll them out.

I came into Chicago from Phoenix Az . and got together with family and a few friends (11 in all) and went to Outatime Games. We had such a GREAT TIME!! I got there a little early and down the stairs entered into a
beautiful lobby. They had some fun little puzzles to play with and had some interesting books based on the themes of some future rooms and on the current theme. The owners were very friendly and welcoming.
They have one room right now called Escape the Whitechapel Club based on Jack the Ripper. My family and friends were of mixed ages (22-58). The room was challenging but the puzzles were so much fun that everyone got a chance to participate. Since most of the group are new to the whole escape room concept they were still able to figure puzzles and clues out making it fun for the entire family. I have gone to escape rooms before and the puzzles at Outatime Games are very creative and unique.
We had such a GREAT TIME and were able to take pictures with fun little signs at the end for a keepsake of the night which was fun in itself.
Great fun for families, friends, or co-workers to do together! Can’t wait to come back!

SO MUCH FUN! I have never done an Escape Room challenge before and WOW, what a great first experience! I was amazed by the detail and cleverness of each puzzle; it was true to theme and allowed you to really immerse yourself in the experience. We were part of a group and there were several puzzles to work on so no one was ever waiting for something to do. When we solved a clue and opened a door to the next room, I would jump up and down like a little kid - it was so exciting!! We "escaped" with moments left to spare and the adrenaline and excitement stayed with us all night. I highly recommend Outatime Games for a fun and different group activity. Perfect for team building or a fun family night out. Can't wait to go back with more friends!

In my opinion, no it's not. The puzzles are too difficult. Teens and adults are the target audience I think
