I am still marveling at how entertained and into it the kids were from start to finish-their attention span never waned. Seaogh was our game master and he was awesome through and through. He knows how to keep things rolling and engaged with the kids in the most endearing way. They gave him hugs when we left! Really a great birthday for my son and while escape rooms were not on my 2026 to-do list I'd certainly go back. Thanks Escape Factor!

We had friends visiting from out of town who love to visit escape rooms. This was our first time at…read morethis location and we did the Game Show room. 3 adults and 2 twelve year olds. It was the perfect sized group for the size of the room and puzzles involved. We all had a blast and were overall impressed with the puzzles. Not too easy, not impossible, all interactive and fun, especially for the 12 year olds. Our Gamemaster, Seaogh, was engaging, funny and gave hints that were not too obvious when we needed to use them. We would come back and try another room next time they visit!

My only beef is the limit of 8 people is probably too high. We had 8 people in our game, and it was hard to not trip over each other and some people felt left out.

PanIQ Escape Room Chicago never misses!…read more My fiancee and I were in Chicago for a memorial. We had done one of the PanIQ Escape Rooms with him and went in his memory. We chose to do The Red Wire. The room itself was very well put together. Upon entering the room, you're transported to a small street in London and the game is afoot. We found all the puzzles fun and a bit challenging. There were a couple of times we needed hints, arguably we were trying too hard. Our game master could tell we were seasoned "operatives", and actually made us work for one of the hints. We enjoyed our interaction with them in this way. Overall, the room was great. We got out in time and felt like we did our buddy proud. 10/10 recommend
