Went on a trip here with my co-workers from Escape Factor. We did two rooms, Duck and Cover and Roaring Dans Pirate Dungeon. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! We all had a blast. & This is WOMEN OWNED

My first visit to an escape room and it didnt disappoint. Gutted to have not finish the tasks but had an amazing experience with my friends.We had 60 mins to uncover 2 rooms in the 1980s theme for the DollHouse murderer. We were a group of 4 and had a great help froma one Ms Pepper(staff). We were atleast 2 people short since the 6 is the optimal to uncover the clues more efficiently but dont want to give out any excuses there. The escape room itself is wonderfully themed with the 80s feel.The only downside to this experience we had was that we didnt know which location to reach at and went to the wrong location(which later we were told happened to a lot of them the same day). We were told later that if we didnt reach the new place in the next 4 mins(we reached before the 4 mins since we ran) wed have to pay a fine(which we didnt). Since we were all young and in our mid 20s we could run from one of their locations to the next, I dont think the same would apply for small children and elder people. They should have been more clearer about it in one of their confirmation emails.

Took my little brother here for a fun afternoon. We were both first timers and this was such a great experience for us. Rosie was our Time Travel Agent and she did an amazing job of really selling the experience from the moment we opened the door to the moment we left. I feel like that truly made it an awesome experience, just that little bit of enthusiasm and committing to the role and overall theme made the experience better than if youd just walked in and talked to some customer service person at a front desk that took you to a room. Will definitely be back to try the other rooms. We definitely recommend the Pirate room here!

Mission Specialist Rosie was the best!! We had so much fun working through the puzzles and etc. Way to go Team Martina. Will have to return for other rooms! Highly recommend

Rosie was amazing! Her delivery and themeing to the rooms was awesome! The actual escape room was fun and campy with just a touch of scary! Definitely coming back!!!!

Had a lot of fun. We did the Duck and Cover room. Rooms are designed for up to 10 people but our room was just our foursome. We had to wait a few minutes before someone greeted us, but they made the experience fun and it made up for any delays from our arrival. They gave us help when we needed it and any technical issues with the room itself were quickly resolved. Definitely a fun experience and worth the price of admission. Great for all ages.

Great room. Love for details. Much better than some other rooms Ive been to. Very friendly and attentive staff. Sweetheart / Dennis was great. Will definitely be back.

Great escape room. The guys stay in character and they know their stuff. It was, even sometimes a little too challenging but it was and it was a really pretty space. There are two locations so be sure to find the right one depending on the escape room you choose. I think they have two or three locations that are a couple of blocks from each other.

Escape Artistry is one of best immersive escape rooms in Chicago. I have done dozens in the area and this one was so much fun! They have a wide variety clues that require different types of reasoning/skills while still remaining true to story. Our game master, Doc, was wonderful. I cannot reccomend this place enough!

The overall experience of this place was amazing. Tons of fun and worth coming back multiple times. Our mission specialist Sweetheart did an amazing job!

Always a lovely (and challenging!) time solving historical-based puzzles with friends. Escape Artistry consistently creates tough rooms with adorable backstories that are a lot of fun!

My group has done nearly 50 rooms and Roaring Dans Pirate Dungeon is one of my favorites. Escape Artistry is neat from the moment you enter (big fan of the decorations!) and theyve even managed to make all the repetitive yeah, okay, this is a room with locks, dont break stuff fun.we did the room as a group of 5 -- 4 of my usual & one newbie. we did need one hint, but escaped successfully. all the puzzles were fun & functional & extremely satisfying, and everyone in my group had nothing but compliments once we finished. it seems like a solid choice whether youre a new group or one that may play a little too often ;)we arent local, so we only had the chance to do one room, but I would gladly go back and 100% recommend trying them out.

Excellent them to the place with the employees keeping the theme. Its a bit odd at first but is endearing overall. The room that we did was excellent and had a interesting theme that fit into the the background of the place plus its other rooms so it would be best to do some of the other rooms as well. Had an excellent time and was able to finish the room with time to spare.

Went with the kids. This is their first escape room experience and we all had fun. We did the Pirate Dans Dungeon and there were lots of puzzles. Awesome adventure and Bjorn was the best host ever!

At this point I would count myself as a seasoned Escape Room Enthusiast, with 80+ rooms under my belt I feel I have a pretty good grasp on what constitutes a good room.This group of people FAR surpassed my expectations for game masters. I want to thank Mondo, Mars, Ren, Doc Brown, Sweetheart, Bjorn, and Bandit for a FANTASTIC birthday, and a wonderful escape expereince.From the second you walk into the Time Gallery to the moment you leave, youre immersed in a story unlike any other escape room in Chicago. Where most venues have a plethora of themed rooms, not many have any coherent story or connection between them. The Time Gallery gives you a well thought out story, and each room feels connected. You see easter eggs in every room, and there is always a way to relate the puzzles. The Mission Specialists at this venue are some of the best Ive ever experienced, and I would recommend to ANYONE they spend some time here. I unfortunately finished all 6 of their rooms, so it will be a bit before I can return, but I look forward to that day and staying in touch with the staff.

One of the best Chicago escape rooms, well done and well facilitated. Thank you!

Great place! Had lots of fun working through the puzzles (which were just the right difficulty), and the staff is so friendly and amazing. The theme and story line is tight and cohesive, which is something I really appreciate. We had a phenomenal time!Would highly recommend!

Bandit was great. Very funny. I wanted to tip her, but i spaced out like dummy. Sorry bandit. Ill recommend my friends to you and make sure they tip you. Thank you for the fun time.

Great staff, challenging escape rooms. Went with a bunch of 12 year olds for my sons birthday and it was excellent.

I LOVED this!!!! We had a blast with the crew to get us to time travel and shout out to Scooter for making the adventure 100 times more fun!!

Really fun escape room. Scooter was great host!

I tried their newest room -- Duck and Cover. The rooms are stunning -- the detail is amazing and the puzzles are well done and the secrets are well hidden. I love that the whole building has a unifying theme. Agent Tiny was our guide and she did wonderfully. I met the owners as well and they were so kind. Great experience all around! Cant wait to try another room!

Barely escaped! Time Gallerys rooms are innovative and challenging, we had a large group of 20-somethings that we divided among two rooms and we all had so much fun and stories to swap when we were done. Ive not been a big fan of the escape room trend, it seems like there are a lot of half a**ed operations out there trying to capitalize on the fad, but I was impressed at how thoroughly thought out and developed Escape Artistry is - they truly have treated the thing like an art. Also Sweetheart is great and we all loved him.

5 amazing escape room + party room all in one place

Loved our experience! The staff was energetic, kind and engaging. Escape room was in great condition and the puzzles were engaging. Space is inviting and clean. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an escape room experience!

Awesome time. Thank you Bjorn

This was my first escape room. Our group was about 8 people, and it was a blast! Our mission specialist was a lot of fun and very helpful--he had to give us a couple clues but did a good job of giving us just enough to get unblocked, but not too much.The room itself was really well decorated, the puzzles were interesting and challenging, and there was always something for each person in our group to do--no one was left standing around. Highly recommend!Visited August 2017

Fantastic escape room! We had a blast and Bandit was amazing.

Melissa Schlesinger and the crew at Escape Artistry have created a fully-immersive experience for anyone who ever wanted to star in their own spy or action movie. Ive always wanted to think my way out of a locked room puzzle, and I cant wait to redeem myself the next time I go.

Very enthusiastic guides! Gadget was our person for the day, and he made it a really great experience. We definitely has to put all our brains together to get out though. Im definitely hoping to try out their other escape rooms.

Fun time, my first escape room. Really was a good team building experience.

Been there 3 times and its been always high quality - good story telling, amazing set designs, and the puzzles are difficult but not impossible. Go.

Had a really great time, Scooter was super friendly and a great host. Would definitely recommend for anyone

One of the best escape room locations Ive been to. Theming is amazing, puzzles are great. You can tell a lot of effort went into setting up this place, and the guides are super friendly.

Great place. Great staff. We didnt organized well and we finished with 2 minutes left!! We received small help from the staff.

The staff was fun and engaging! Did two scenarios. Used local history in both. Challenging- we beat one with 19 seconds left but just missed the buzzer for the other.

Great rooms. Puzzles and theming are so well thought out. Scooter is a fantastic game master!

Great imaginative escape room! The Time Travelers Trap is just hard enough to challenge you butler definitely solvable. Great service! Cant wait to try the new Game Room!

Amazing staff and diverse well thought out rooms to explore!

We had a great time. Got stuck once or twice, but Scooter was able to give us just the right hints to get us un-stuck. Ive done a lot of escape rooms... These ones are really well done: clear clues, good atmosphere, not too easy.

This place is so much fun! The employees fully take on their cheesy roles and get into character. Scooter is a funny and entertaining guide!

Best find in Chicago, best time Ive ever had in an escape room

Staff was very energetic and helpful and clearly love what they do. Ask for Sweetheart to give your experience double the fun. Definitely coming back!

What a great way to start a Bachelorette Party! The puzzles were challenging and fun. The employees were enthusiastic and friendly. Plus, they are within walking distance to great restaurants and bars.

So much fun. We did one room and enjoyed it so much we had to do another.

I did the Dillinger escape this weekend with my friends, it was so fun! The hosts clearly enjoy what theyre doing and did a great job making this challenging and engaging. Highly recommended!

This was my favorite escape room, bar none.

Not the regular boring escape rooms. Challenging.

Super Fun! The guides were great at keeping the game going whilst staying in character.

Awesome place! Bandit was the best!

Staff is fantastic, the room themes are great, and the puzzles are just hard enough to keep things interesting. Only downside is Im running out of rooms!

Great Theme! Great Staff! Great Story! Great Location with easy access to public transportation and plenty of bars and resturants!

So much fun! Really great escape rooms!

A great time! Challenging puzzles, wonderful staff.

Fun, well thought out puzzles

Awesome! The best escape rooms in the city!

Amazing time Bandit was an awesome Commanding Officer

A+++

Pretty fun

Cool place, challenging adventures, and friendly staff!
