During the course of a 60 minute escape room experience at Team vs Time, you and your team will explore unique environments, find interesting objects, and use clues to solve a series of puzzles in an attempt to reach your ultimate objective. Your adventure awaits!

We typically offer at least 3 different escape game experiences. Each adventure offers a completely unique team challenge, with a varied theme and level of difficulty. You’ll solve puzzles ranging from finding a lost book of magical spells, to unearthing a plot to overthrow the queen, to a period when the mafia ruled the streets. You’re in for a daunting challenge – do you have what it takes to escape the room?

“Few months ago I came to Team vs Time for my first ever escape room. Since then I had played few different escape rooms in Chicago and came back to Team vs Time for their newest game “Save The Queen” and it was awesome! From all the escape games I have played I had my best time solving Team vs Time’s puzzles.”

“We’ve now done every room at Team vs Time and I can safely say this is one of the better (and more consistent) escape room places in Chicago (our group has done 40+ rooms in Chicago alone). The puzzles here are non-linear, challenging without being impossible, well executed thematically, and satisfying to work through…”

“This was my first time to an Escape Room…. so I’m only judging on this one experience… but the experience was fantastic. The service was great and they did a great job of explaining the whole process to us. The puzzles and riddles were interesting and challenging.  It was a great time, I think it’s a fantastic way to enjoy an evening with friends.  ”
– Craig J., Yelp
