2. 60 to Escape
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 276 reviews
The rules here are so simple that they're laid out right in the business's name: 60 to Escape. Small groups of friends, family members, or coworkers are locked in a room, where they have only an hour to use problem-solving skills and teamwork to escape. Players can select from a variety of scenarios to challenge themselves with.

We’ve gone twice. The first time we went with all my siblings & their Significant others for a “Sibling game night”. We did the hidden Temple room. It was so much fun. There were 7 of us in the room so we were a little cramped in the beginning when we were trying to get out of the 1st room but then we were able to spread out. It was amazing. Room after room. So much to do and see. We loved it. We were able to make it out of the Hidden temple with 5 mins. Left. Loved it so much we had to go again with our kids. We did the mystery manor with our 3 kids (17,15,&8). They loved it. Because we had an 8 year old we were able to have to room to ourselves and not have to buy all the tickets. We were able to get out of that room too with 8 mins left. I can’t wait to go back and do another one... we really love going and we hope to try them all. They are so well done and so fun!

Gurnee Mills is the second largest shopping mall in Illinois, after Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg and ahead of Oak Brook Center in Oak Brook. While purists might argue that it doesn't have as many big-name brand businesses on the marquee, they would have to agree that visitors to Gurnee Mills will find more entertaining attractions and savory restaurants than its more celebrated rivals. Located at 6170 Grand Avenue in north suburban Gurnee, at the intersection of I-94 and Grand Avenue (Illinois Route 132), Gurnee Mills features nearly 200 stores, including Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue and Dick's Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. The property also includes a movie theater, Gurnee Marcus Cinema, an indoor miniature golf course and laser tag at Tilt Studio. At this time of year, the indoor facility is crowded with children in a back-to-school mode. They make shopping at Gurnee Mills an all-day experience with shopping, eating and watching a movie. Other stores include Bed Bath & Beyond, Forever 21, Tommy Hilfiger, Adidas, Nike, Marshalls, Kay's Jewelers, H&M, Gap, Crocs, Foot Locker, American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Loft Outlet, T Mobile, Sunglass Hut, Disney Store Outlet, Lens Crafters, Victoria's Secret, Polo/Ralph Lauren, Movado and Zales. Ready for a coffee break? Stop at Starbucks. How about lunch? Try Subway, Burger King, Portillo's, Rainforest Cafe, Chicago Woodfire Pizza, Buffalo Wild Wings, Kelly's Cajun Grill, Charleys Philly Cheesesteak and Jamba Juice.
