Have you ever wanted to jump into the boots of Indiana Jones? Or how about dawn the deduction cap of Sherlock Holmes? Maybe you've always wanted to sit in Captain Picard's chair. The Quandary Escape Rooms in Chicago will give you the experiences you've always wanted.
The Quandary is an independent, immersive escape room. With stories that will make you feel like you're in a movie. Open now at the Clark/Belmont intersection in Chicago.
An Escape room is a team-building adventure game. You are placed in a themed room and have to use the clues and hints peppered throughout the space to solve the main objective, whether that be actually escaping the room or something else. Book now to start your adventure!
Yes, our rooms are kid friendly with our most family-friendly room being Left At Home, but our recommended age for players is 10 and up (with adult participation).
No, we require adult supervision for children under the age of 18. We ain't yo' baby sitter!
Our games have a time limit of 60 minutes. ...or longer if you get stuck in there and can't find your way out, but we've only had a few groups to be lost for all eternity.
That could mean a couple different things:
1. At times, our staff is "on-call." So in order to have happy and not super-stressed employees, many of our bookings close 1.5 hrs before start time. There is a chance that a happy staff member may be present at the facility, so you can call and see if a slot is available.
2. The booking is completely full and you'll need to book for another time.
Most of the time, no. But sometimes if a staff member is around and no booking is going on, we may be able to squeeze you in.
We don't have dedicated parking, but the pay-to-park street parking out front on Clark is almost always available.
No. All of our rooms are private! You will always just be with your buddies and pals.
Yes! You can subtract players for a refund up to 24 hrs before your booking. You can always add players at up to the time of your booking.
Yes, we do allow up to 2 extra players upon request to make a total of 10 players in Left at Home and Escape the 90s, and 8 in Lab of the Lost. However, be aware that the quality of the rooms may be altered due to playing with more than the recommended players. You may book the max amount of players, and then add the extra players at the time of your booking.
