Really fun! We managed to get out of Alpha lab due to our kindly game master being generous with hints. The room is really cool!! Definitely worth the trip

Cool place for a work event (what I did) but come prepared to think laterally or you might burn through all your clues! High quality rooms with a good amount of puzzles to solve. Hope to be back soon

Alex, the manager, is a super cool guy. I did the Italian Job room and it wasnt bad. It was just me and one other person so it was perfect for the two of us (not too hard, not too easy). Its pretty low tech compared to rooms Ive done elsewhere but Id say its a solid experience and average quality.

A little linear, but staff was great! We had a great time. If you had 8 people it might be a bit crowded.

We did the Italian Job and had a terrific time! The clues were not terribly difficult but challenging enough. Would come again!

Been to plenty of escape rooms. Enjoyed the Alpha Lab room. Challenging room, friendly staff and good location.

Seriously so much fun! It was true to the theme of the room. The staff was unbelievably awesome! Alex went above and beyond to help us! We had so much fun. It was a little crowded with 7 people but still really cool!

Team Chi-Square got the record time on the Midnight Train escape room. Had a good time. Sorry cant give any hints....

This was a great escape room, well thought out and not too booky. It was a fairly simply laid out room, and the staff were great. Did the Italian job room which was one of their newest ones. Just two of us were able to escape the room with just a minute to spare, despite a snafu with one of the objects being mixed up, the staff came into the room when they realized and fixed it, but didnt affect the experience whatsoever. If you are looking for a way to have some fun with friends this is it. I have done several escape rooms before and this was on par with my other experiences. Definitely recommend this place.

Omfg!!! This was so AWESOME AND SUPER FUN!!!! Thank you Alex for your help. This was our first ever Escape Room and I am looking forward to many many more. Ill repeat this Brigade Room again!!

A very wonderful experience, with super nice staff, a great challenge (but not too hard). Good for all ages. Highly recommended for tourists in the area and locals alike.Although it was kind of weird to find (with only a van with their banner on it to signify their location) it was still a really great experience and escape room. 5/5Thanks you guys for awesome experience!

Good atmosphere, cool story, great room set up, but the puzzles are very linear. The puzzles werent super fun, but there were a few very original ones. The building that the escape brigade is a columned building that seems more like a doctors office/fancy apartments, not a place for an escape room. Alex is very nice and super friendly. If we are in the area we will do the other room.

It was a lot of fun! It was well worth the time and value is great.

We went last night with a group of four. Escape Brigade is located in a convenient location with plenty of parking so finding it wasnt as issue. The Lab room is like playing a real life video game. The staff is highly engaging and created a very memorable experience. I would recommend having 4-8 people working on completing the room as the puzzles could be challenging and teamwork plays a large role of getting out of the room on time. The story line and the puzzles are very well developed and engaging with the right amount of challenge and clues. This is something I would do again as soon as they complete their second room. This is my third escape room and by far the best! Cant wait to come back!

I was skeptical because these kinds of puzzles arent my favorite things to do. That being said, the team work, comraderie, and well, fun... Made it all worthwhile. I enjoyed it so much, Im planning to take my kids to a couple that are local to where I live.

Its hard to find downstairs in the building. But we had a lot of fun. Jessica was great. We were thrilled that we solved the alpha lab just before time ran out. Will be back to try the train.

We had our holiday office outing here today and it was great fun. Would recommend 4 any group looking to test your problem-solving abilities. Our group got out with two seconds to spare! Whew

Fun escape room experience. It was was challenging/mind game. It was nice since it was BYOB and snacks. Hidden in a large office building- so there is a short adventure to find the room that you must escape.

Great place and challenge hosts!!

Done several escape rooms with 10 friends. This one was very well put together with a fun story. Owners were very friendly and very knowledgeable! Puzzles were great! Were all pretty experienced, so we challenged ourselves not to use clues!

Our group was people aged, 13, 26, 28, 40, and 66, and we all had a ton of fun. Equally challenging and entertaining for all of us. Really a great activity for a family, big fan. We want to return to do the other room for sure.

Went there with a group of friends few weeks back. Let me tell you - it was amazing! The story was interesting and all of the puzzles were carefully crafted to be challenging and at the same time interesting. Even though we did not get out of the room (we were so close) - it was tons of fun. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Very intricate puzzles and extremely friendly and funny staff. The top scores are really tough to beat, so try your best! We all had a great time.

Took 2 group of young teens for 2 bday party. Neither group escaped...might be too challenging for younger kids....whole event would have been ok... except one of the kids broke a $10 prop & had to pay for it.....left on a bad note and would not Go back to this one....I’ve done other escape rooms and this one had minimum invested in decor and overall appearance.

Lots of fun. Cant wait for them to finish the new room. Very friendly owners and had a blast. Good for small groups or large ones.

I was a bit skeptical going here, but went for my friends birthday. Its a little hard to find in the basement but one of the employees came out to make sure we found it alright. Our group was split up into two different groups and we each did a different escape room. At first it was kind of strange but after we all broke down what needed to be done it started to come together. As it went on I found myself getting into it more and it became more and more fun to try and solve the problems. We ended up getting out in time but it took us most of the time to get it and a few helpful hints. Overall I had a lot of fun and it change how I looked at escape rooms.

This is such a cool and unique activity to do with friends/family. It is both challenging and fun! I highly recommend this for anyone - especially if you havent done an Escape Room before!

Had an awesome experience here. Did both rooms and got out both times with a little help. Thanks a lot Alex, you were a great host.

The guy switched 2 locks on accident but that was ok

Fun! Bring your glasses for hard to see locks. Alex was terrific! We are all still talking about the experience!

Very innovative and creative. Had a lot of fun and our game master was great.

Awesome experience for our group of nine! The guys that run it are very friendly and helpful. Cant wait to try the new room coming in the fall!

Awesome escape room!

Loved it! Great game master and clever puzzles. Well definitely be back!

This place is legit! We made it out for our first experience! I would definitely say come to this place and try it the escape the Lab.

We Escaped!!!! It was so much fun and the two guys were really funny!

Great team building!

Such a fun team building exercise. Cant wait to do it again!

Fun! Great idea for a rainy day. Good outing with friends or family

This has been one of the best escape rooms in the area, definitely recommend trying this one out!

This was my first escape room experience. As a newbie to this industry, i didnt know what to expect. My group of 4 had a blast. In order to escape the room in time, it requires quite a bit of teamwork so i would definately recommend doing it in groups of no less than 4 people. This is a great idea for a corporate team building event or just something different to do on a weekend. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a fun, unique time. It is located conveniently 10 minutes from OHare and 5 minutes away from the Rosemont entertainment center with plenty of parking. You wont regret spending your hard earned money on this exciting, new business in the Des Plaines area

Cool idea for a group of people who want to spend a nice time and play in game

This was a blast. Nephews birthday party!!

We went during normal working hours and door was closed. They didn’t open because we didn’t have a reservation. They should have put that in the website that they only open under reservation even under their normal business hours. Very disappointed.

First timer for escape room, actually quite challenging but fun and redirected if ever asked for help. Must go!

So much fun! Did the train one.

Was a blast!! Very challenging barely made it in time!! Good luck to all!

Awesome experience! Bring your friend for their birthday!

It’s great and intense

More challenging than I thought but a lot of fun!!

Friendly staff! Fun Puzzles!

Work function, was interesting to do

One of the better escape rooms in the area.

Very fun!! Great for birthdays, cant wait to go back!!!

Amazing experience great hosts.

Lots of fun...do it

Fun and exciting escape game that kept us puzzled to the end

Great team building activity!

Fun birthday, great for groups
