Every round offers a different kind of gameplay
Each round of Great Escape Game Show in Chicago features a different mini-game. Take a peek at a few of the mini games:
SHAKE IT, BABY!
Get ready to shake! Each team lines up, grabs the giant hourglass filled with jewels, and shake until every jewel moves to the other side of the hourglass. Then pass it to the next teammate. The first team to finish wins!
BLIND BALL TOSS
Do you trust your team? Toss balls toward your teammates and hit the designated targets. The catch? You must be blindfolded. Your team will call out directions, but don’t let the other team’s voices distract you.
HANDS OFF!
Need a helping hand? One by one, players must move balloons toward the goal and through the hoop using only the hands provided. Don’t let it touch the floor or your turn is over. The team with the most balloons through wins.
CHOPSTICK MADNESS!
Keep your hands steady! You have two minutes to use your chopsticks to transfer candy between dishes as fast as possible. The first team to finish or the team with the most candy when the time runs out wins!

GREAT ESCAPE GAME SHOW: Chicago's NEWEST LIVE-ACTION EXPERIENCE
Chicago plays for keeps — so does Great Escape Game Show. This isn’t some quiet, low-stakes activity; it’s ten rounds of full-contact competition where the smack talk starts before the first buzzer even sounds. Wrestle giant hourglasses against a ticking clock, go dart-for-dart in a Nerf showdown, or try to steer balloons using absurdly oversized foam hands while your teammates lose their minds laughing.
Every round plays out like the real thing: you’ll take your place at genuine contestant podiums, locked in under bright stage lighting, with working buzzers ready to settle every dispute instantly. A live host runs the room with the swagger of a true game show emcee, and booming live sound turns every win — and every brutal loss — into a moment the whole place feels. Cosmic Drop, Brain Feud, and Gunfight at the So-So Corral bring the heat, and every round is built to separate the champions from the pretenders. Gather your crew — coworkers, friends, total strangers, doesn’t matter — because by the end, everyone’s rivals. This is Chicago’s new favorite way to settle the score.
