    Escapely Fulton Market is a MUST!

    We had a great time with the game. First experience with escapely and it won’t be the last. Great packaging and great riddles and clues. Well thought out. Keep them coming!

    Great daytime date activity!

    My husband and I had such a fun afternoon exploring the West Loop with the Escapely outdoor escape room. It was such a fun and unique activity to do, and would recommend to anyone who enjoys games and either exploring a new or familiar city! The clues were challenging but very doable.

  • Justin E

    Great game for an afternoon of fun!

    Fantastic experience exploring Fulton Market and seeing what this great area has to offer. The location choices were perfect, and it took us all around the area!

  • Hector A

    Amazing experience in Fulton market-Loved being part of the community

    Great time connecting with other colleagues and visiting a really cool part of Chicago all because of Escapeley! Enjoyed the time outdoors.

    Great Teambuilding Activity!

    We had a BLAST with Escapely. The blend of movement/walking between clues hit the perfect ratio – it was enough to feel like we were exploring the area but not too much where it was a bear to get between locations. The furthest walk between clues was 4 blocks.
    The clues were GREAT, incredibly engaging. While we were in the alley by Trivoli Tavern yesterday, two gentlemen stopped and asked what we were doing (it was clear it was some sort of scavenger hunt). We showed them the Escapely box, the website and told them about the murder mystery scavenger hunt we were on, singing your praises as we were all invested in winning! They took a picture of the box and said they were going to reach out for a team building activity that they had coming up.

Yes, but it is not generally recommended unless you’re a serious escape room enthusiast. It’s like playing an escape room with the same storyline and similar puzzles but with different clues available. In the Chicago escape room, the clues are integrated within Fulton Market, so the clues are different from those found in Whodunnit games in other cities. However, the puzzles will feel familiar. That said, we do have enthusiasts who play (and enjoy) the same theme in multiple cities!
An outdoor escape room is an escape room game played out in the real world. Unlike indoor escape rooms, you’re not locked in a room! Instead, you get to find clues while walking around Fulton Market and exploring monuments, murals, coffee shops, and other things you might not have noticed before. Teams hunt for clues, solve puzzles, crack codes, and tackle challenges to win the game and escape. It’s a themed puzzle experience that will get you out of the house for an exciting adventure! This outdoor escape room combines the best elements of an escape room with a fun scavenger hunt experience around the Windy City.
Your game box contains most of the clues you need to solve the escape room adventure. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled to find the rest of the clues hidden around Fulton Market! When you find a real-world clue, you’ll have to think creatively and compare it to what’s in the box to solve the puzzle. When you have the solution, enter it on the app to advance to the next stage of the outdoor escape room.
Fulton Market is perfect for a Chicago escape room because of its active entertainment scene. There are endless food options nearby, many of which are stops along the escape room route (so be sure to arrive hungry!). Once an industrial warehouse zone, the area now features vibrant murals that are perfect for hiding clues. Fulton Market is also conveniently located and quite walkable. After completing the escape room, you can stick around to explore the place further. There are plenty of galleries, a video arcade, shops to check out, and more food options if you’re still hungry!
It is both! In a traditional escape room, you must solve puzzles that lead you through to the next escape room, and sometimes more. In Escape the City, you will have to do that, plus solve interconnected puzzles using clues in the real world. That makes this immersive activity one of the best things to do in Chicago!
We suggest parking near N Peoria Street and W Lake Street, as that is where you will start the game. Fulton Market is a small enough area that anywhere in the vicinity will work. If you prefer public transportation, you can take the Green Line to Morgan Station, the Blue Line to Grand Station, or the Halsted bus (8) to Fulton Market.
Yes. In our Fulton Market escape room, several clues are located within businesses. You won’t need to interact with staff or make a purchase to play, but you will need to enter to find the clues. However, some businesses along the way even give our players a discount!
This Chicago escape room is a self-guided adventure around Fulton Market for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in Chicago.
