Did the prison escape room and it was super fun and very well done! Jamie was great definitely will be going back.

Awesome games , owner was very friendly and accommodating my daughter cake cutting at the lobby area . Very friendly and highly recommended.

I recently had the chance to visit Riddlebox Escape Rooms, and it was honestly one of the most enjoyable escape room experiences I've had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere immediately set the tone for a fun and immersive challenge. The lobby was clean, well-organized, and had a cool puzzle-themed vibe that got everyone in the right mindset before we even started the game. One of the highlights of the entire experience was our host, Jamie. She was incredibly welcoming and did a great job explaining the rules and the story behind the room without giving anything away. Sometimes escape room briefings can feel rushed or confusing, but Jamie made everything clear and engaging. She had a really friendly personality and made our group feel comfortable right away. It felt like she genuinely wanted us to have a great time, which made a big difference. The room itself was very well designed. The puzzles were creative and challenging without feeling impossible. I really appreciated that the clues flowed logically from one to the next, so when you solved something it felt rewarding rather than random. There was a good mix of different puzzle types too--some that required careful observation, others that needed teamwork, and a few that really made us stop and think. It kept everyone in our group involved instead of just one person solving everything. Another thing I liked was the level of immersion. The set design and props were high quality and made the whole experience feel like you were actually part of the story. Nothing felt cheap or out of place. You could tell a lot of thought went into creating the environment and making sure the puzzles fit naturally into the theme. Jamie also did a great job monitoring the game and giving hints when we needed them. The hints were helpful but not overly obvious, which is exactly what you want in an escape room. They helped keep the game moving without ruining the challenge. After the game ended, she took the time to talk with us about the puzzles we solved and the ones we struggled with, which was a really nice touch. Overall, Riddlebox delivered a fantastic experience. Between the creative puzzles, immersive room design, and Jamie's excellent hosting, it was a memorable and really fun activity for our group. Whether you're new to escape rooms or someone who has done a lot of them, I would definitely recommend giving Riddlebox a try. The staff clearly care about making sure guests have a great time, and that effort really shows. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying another room read more

Came for a friend's birthday party and did the witches' room. It had fun puzzles and was able to work together as a group. The inside/waiting area is a little cramped. There was another group ahead of us doing a different room, so lots of people were in a small area. They had lockers in front of your belongings. There is plenty of parking out front. I would recommend as a fun group outing. read more

Super fun!! Jamie was a great supervisor. We had an awesome time in the prison room! Lots of math so bring your logical friend. read more

RiddleBox Escape Rooms - Escape Games Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Can't really share any photos since I don't want to spoil it for anyone. It's an odd place for an escape room. I didn't even know they had one here in this area. They have several rooms with different themes. Some of the rooms accommodate larger groups. We had 8, but a smaller room. They recommended 5, and it was crowded in the room. Some of the equipment was outdated, and the room monitor didn't work (they had to speak over the intercom). Also, some of the decor was worn and hard to read and decipher. The puzzles were elaborate and required quick thinking. The staff was friendly. read more

Jaimie was great! Awesome experience! Definitely would return and get the other rooms! read more

Went here for a date night and while it's located in an odd spot - we had a great time! We appreciated that even though there were only 2 of us, we got the room to ourselves and as we were close to finishing at the hour mark, the staff let us stay a bit extra to solve the entire room, which was nice so we didn't miss the cool ending! I would say check it out if you live in the area but if you are an escape-room connoisseur, this place may be rated more basic than others you have been. read more

Great time and Jamie was super helpful! We didn't escape but we the room was well done.

I'd like to give this a 4.5 stars because I enjoyed the puzzles so much, but the site doesn't allow it, I guess. My boyfriend and I did the prison break room (and escaped with less than four minutes to spare). The puzzles were clever and really fun -- we really enjoyed the whole process of solving the puzzles and escaping! The only downsides were: 1. A few elements of the room needed touching up (non-spoiler examples: a number was hard to read and the monitor had to clarify for us; a flashlight was a bit dim; other things that would be spoilers) 2. The staff seemed overworked -- our monitor was monitoring two other teams at the same time, which meant he wasn't as quick as he could have been when we asked for clues -- this is a timed event! 3. Other escape rooms have props and a photo opp when you are done...a big deal is made when you escape or even if you don't. None of that here, just "Okay, you're all set, thanks for coming in." Not very warm, excited, or (I guess) eager for me to post pics on social media. read more

Just completed the Prison escape room with my family. Really fun and elaborate setup. The host was very patient with us and really helpful. Room was clean and well laid out, yet complex in a fun way. Looking forward to trying another one in the future. read more

Getting into the room was a little hectic. It's pretty clear that they're a newer or smaller business and had a hard time accommodating multiple groups at once. Two other groups came in at the same time as us, and it was a little complicated. Once we were in the room, however, it was AWESOME. I've done a few escape rooms, and this one is up to par. We did the prison room, and started off in different cells. It was detailed and a great experience. No false clues or anything. There were a couple of details that were messed up. A closet that was supposed to be unlocked with a keypad was already unlocked when we got in the room. Overall, I definitely recommend this place. I can't wait to see them grow and improve. read more

It was SO much fun!! Honestly, one of the most unique and technologically advanced escape rooms I've done. The puzzles seemed like magic when you solved them and I was so impressed that the owner makes the rooms himself. Really awesome experience! read more

We took a college soccer team here and they LOVED IT. The staff were great and took care of a big group with no issues. Would recommend highly! read more

Pretty cool place. I've never done an escape room challenge before, so I don't have anything to compare this to. Here's what I can tell you about this place. There's only 1 room option right now. They said they will have a second room soon. Because they are a smaller company they make it pretty easy for you to go. We called a couple other places first, and many of them wanted you to reserve the room and pay in full over the phone before you arrive. Other places also had a higher minimum player amount. This place only required you to pay for 1 person up front and the rest when you arrive. They also only required a minimum of 4 people. So, it made it a lot easier for us because you really never know if everyone will make it. There was 1 guy working there who was probably the owner. At first glance I would have guessed he was in the military / Marines. He may have been, but he had a thick accent... sounded a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Really nice guy and he helped us along the way. I definitely recommend trying this place. read more

Just completed this escape room with 5 other coworkers as a team building exercise. Everyone had a fantastic time. The puzzles were fun and involved and some good challenges and surprises. Would highly recommend this location. Excited to find out they are in the process of putting in several more rooms. read more

We went there today. The set up is really nice, but the experience was the worst out of the 6 escape rooms I have been in. We were schedule to start the escape room at 2:20. The only worker there arrived at 2:20 and things were not set up. The wrong thing was on the computer screens. Atmosphere was nice, but our host was not prepared at all. I felt like I wasted my money. The worker did not even explain things to us. Just told us to read the screen and start. In other places the workers were enthusiastic and talked to us before and after. Set up is amazing, customer service and being prepared was not that great. read more

I went to Riddlebox with 5 of my close friends which we booked online. It was super easy and you are able to choose the timeslot you want. A few of us have been to escape rooms before and some this was their first time. The place is easy to find and lot's of parking available. We were greeted right away by the owner and he even let us start earlier since we showed up 30minutes before our timeslot. Right now they only have one room but are in the process of making a second. The room was full of detail and we had a blast solving all the puzzles. I liked how there was a storyline and theme for the room. There are multiple puzzles so all 5 of us were always working on something which I liked. We were able to escape at the end! Overall I would recommend checking this place out. The owner was super friendly and you can tell he enjoys designing the rooms. I would come back for the second room design once open. The only thing I'd suggest is maybe having props at the end saying you escaped or didn't escape. I know this is often used at other places. They did have a snapchat filter but was not able to get to work when we were there. read more

Had a great time. The owner was really helpful when it came to us asking for clues. Would definitely go back again! What I really like about RiddleBox is that they do not require you work with strangers, the room is completely private for your group. read more

Went here back in January for my birthday on a sporadic decision to go to and escape room and I was not disappointed. I want to say I was absolutely blow away at the level of detail in the room and the level of actual intelligence it took to complete this room. We finished with 1:17 left and it was heart thrilling all the way through. The owner has a real trend touch with his rooms since his/ families experience with escape rooms come from Europe where the trend originated. All in all, I cannot want to visit RiddleBox escape rooms again after collage to see what the new rooms hold. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 10/5 stars! read more

Quite possibly the most fun I have had in a long time. They helped me plan the most beautiful surprise for my partner. They were extremely fun and extremely accommodating. A unique and fun experience to leave you with plenty of memories:) read more

Very well done escape room in which you have to use 4 Senses to figure your way out. The room transports you back in time to a tavern several hundred years ago. There were 6 of us and it took all of us working together to figure out all the clues getting out with only a few minutes to spare. One of the best rooms I have done thus far. You can tell the owner cares about what he does and wants his customers to have a great experience. read more

RiddleBox Escape Rooms - Escape Games Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Friendly owner, clean, and well organized escape room. Can't wait to try the next one he is building.

RiddleBox is the perfect name for this exciting & crafty escape room!! It is based in a one of a kind setting - an authentic looking European tavern, which felt so real like we were transported into another era. The clues were very innovative and clever. My teenage sons nephew & niece were captivated by the creative challenges & progress made toward finding the life-saving antidote. Overall the one hour flew by and it was a great experience for all involved. The staff was extremely inviting and helpful. We would definitely return for another RiddleBox experience - highly recommend this place!! read more

This experience was gifted to me for my birthday. The four of us never have done escape rooms before so we didn't have any expectations. We came out taking about it the whole ride home how fun it was! It was amazing to go through piece by piece and some riddle solvings were unexpected but we made it through. Everything was orderly too like each section had its own riddle to move on the next which made me appreciate it more now as I did another escape room that was more clue and word solving. Also the room stayed to its authenticity which was really unique, like the clues didn't have paper cutouts or things specifically from this century. We all agree to come here again when there's a different theme. Best birthday present ever. read more

Incredibly high quality escape room with a friendly host. It was our first time and we were lucky to have had such a wonderful experience. The tavern room is excellent, all furniture and props appeared authentic along with music that enhanced feelings of suspense and urgency. Clear instructions, helpful clues displayed via monitor when requested. Easy to book online. Great way to have fun with friends and family. read more

This was so so much fun for our family! There were 8 of us and we were able to solve the room. Each one of us contributed to the solution and I was glad to have so many people. We all loved how immersive the experience was- the whole room is decorated so well, you really feel like you're in a tavern. The clues were so varied, and involved several of your senses. There were a few times our group literally screamed and jumped up and down because the solutions were so creative and surprising. As far as logistics, this room was very easy to book and only required a small deposit. The location was easy to find. We loved it and definitely recommend! read more

What an amazing time we had at The Old Tavern! My husband and I took our 12 year old daughter, 2 of her friends and our 6 year old son yesterday. It was our first time doing an escape room and...WOW! Did we have a blast!! The room itself is so thoughtfully planned out and really transported us into that scenario. The kids had a great time working through the puzzle- although we just missed figuring it out... womp womp womp. So close! The kids are already asking to go back and try more rooms when they are available! Super friendly staff as well! Thank you! read more

We throughly enjoyed our experience finding the antidote and escaping from the Tavern at the RiddleBox Escape Rooms in Naperville. This was our family's first time at an escape room with our 12, 14 and 18 year old kids. The puzzles were challenging and inventive. With a little guidance via a screen that also displayed the countdown we were able to work through clues without getting too frustrated. Everyone had fun which was our goal! The web site gives a good explanation of the room concept and European influences. We received helpful reminders ahead of our reservation via email as well as an aerial photo showing where we should park. This is a new business having opened in the last few months. We felt that the owners were friendly, helpful and committed to providing a quality experience to their patrons. The business did not yet have exterior signage but the address was clear. We definitely recommend trying RiddleBox Escape Rooms! I'm looking forward to visiting again when their next room is ready. read more

My mom and I were looking for something fun to do on a Thursday night in Naperville. We immediately saw Riddlebox, called and Matthew was very accommodating. Together we've done about 20 escape rooms and we were very impressed.with the creativity and uniqueness of the room. Can't wait for the next one to open! read more

One of the best, if not the best escape room my wife and I have ever done. Amazing tricks and tech, unlike we've ever seen before. Can't wait for more rooms to open at this place. This one is a MUST. read more

I have done a lot of escape rooms and this one is in my top 2. Very creative and well done. All the clues make sense and it is challenging but not impossible. Can't wait for their new room to open! read more

This was by far one of the best escape rooms I've been to. There were 4 of us and it took everybody working until the last second to escape. It's not typical in the it's one clue after another, there are many things going on simultaneously and you have to work to escape. Will definitely come back and try the new room when it opens read more

This was our first time trying an escape room. It was such a fun activity for the whole family! The old tavern room was very cool and clues were clever. Will definitely be returning for another riddle to solve. read more

We had an absolute blast!! This was our first family experience (kids ages 10 and under) in an escape room and we all enjoyed!! It was nice that RiddleBox Escape Rooms was completely private to our family. We can't stop talking about how much fun we had and what a great experience it was. They were so friendly and we look forward to going back to this location again as different scenarios open up!! Thank you for a great experience!! read more

My boyfriend and I booked The Old Tavern last minute as our first escape room. We didn't know what to expect but were very satisfied with the setup of this room. You use all 5 senses to solve the riddles, puzzles and combinations which is very clever! Cannot wait for RiddleBox to come up with another room!! read more

My first time doing an escape room and it was amazing, if I could do this room again I 100% would! So much fun to do in the group I was with! read more

Our whole family went and had a blast! Lots of surprises. Very kid friendly! Highly recommended!

i came here with my friends and we went into the witch's room, it was really fun and i would come here again

I was leary if escape rooms because I tend to get frustrated easily. I went as part of a girls day and this was SO FUN. It's challenging and thought provoking (in a fun way). We had a lot laughs in the process. Definitely go do this! You will not be disappointed!! read more
