The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

Escape Artistry - The Railcar

Chicago's Original Escape Games are built by local artists and tell Chicago stories for all to enjoy. The Railcar is Escape Artistry's Flagship escape room game, built in 2015, it has garnered attention from across the world of escape game enthusiasts. Tucked into the maze of art that is the Flat Iron Arts Building, The Railcar itself is an art installation with a twist. Modeled after the EL cars you can see from the studio's windows, The Railcar is built out of recycled materials and is approximately 3/4 the size of a proper CTA train car. This puzzling adventure is a hit for corporate teams, families, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, and rainy days. Can your team escape in time?

Our group of four managed to escape the railcar with just over two minutes to spare! None of us were first-timers, and this is my favorite escape room I've tried so far. The train car is a pretty unique setting with a cool story and theme. Big shoutout to our "conductor" Scooter for being welcoming, funny, helpful, and generally a great host. We love you Scooter! The puzzles were interesting and there was a lot of variety between them. I really like that they provide a dry-erase marker so your group can take notes on the train windows. (They ask that you don't bring your phone into the railcar.) The space is smaller than escape rooms I've done in the past, and I feel like it may feel crowded with a group larger than ~8 people, although there are plenty of puzzles for everyone to work on and they're well-distributed around the train car. We would definitely try another one of Escape Artistry's rooms!

My wife has been wanting to try iFLY for a good while now and we finally where able to accomplish that this past weekend. I unfortunately could not do it since I have previously dislocated my shoulder but she had a blast. iFLY simulates skydiving without having to jump out of a plane. Victor our instructor was awesome, he did a really good job of explaining the technique needed to get the best experience, and he just was a genuine nice person. The instructor (Victor) stays in there with you the entire time and makes sure you stay safe but also helps you maneuver around and have fun. Great experience and my wife already purchased a voucher to go back when we are back in town.

Great for a group of friends, the instructors are friendly, patient, and a lot of fun. Our instructor, Cody, lead us through the basics, and then helped us to organize into teams to go axe-to-axe in several exciting competitions. Would recommend to anyone, and am going back this week myself!
