MISH MASH Adventures

We had so much fun! I like that you can change the difficulty and do the rooms as many times as you like!

This could be a lot of just need a few more details in the games / rules. For example - telling people what they are earning points for. That was never explained to us until we couldn't get into a room because we didn't have enough points. We are pretty good at escape plans and get the concept of being in a room with no info but some of the rooms could benefit from a little more info. I'm on the fence on whether I would try again.

This place was super fun! It's kind of like a bunch of mini escape rooms. The price comes with a 2 hour time block and I thought that was the perfect amount of time. My group went at 10AM and it was less expensive and not crowded at all! There was only 1 other group going at the same time which made it nice to not have to wait for any of the rooms. You can have a group between 2-6 people. Some of the rooms are more intellectual and some are more physical. Some of them have a very clear objective and some you have to learn by trial and error. The workers are willing to help out by giving hints if you're struggling though. Additionally, they have lockers and a coat rack since they advise not bringing anything in and it tends to get warm back in the rooms. I highly recommend this place for team building or if you just want to have a good time with friends!

My daughter loves escape rooms and this one looked pretty special so took her and a friend for some fun. You have an option of an hour or two hours and we booked the hour.

It's located in the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, which is a lot further than I thought from Glencoe so this is likely a one time visit. However, it was a very fun visit! It's different from your typical one room escape room. There are several rooms with different mental and physical challenges. You put in your code to get in any of the open rooms and try to pass. In our case we mostly failed, but we still had fun! Some examples of our challenges:
- crawling our way out of a ball pit filled with exercise balls
- following a secret code maze to get from one room to the other

There were a lot of tweens and teens running from room to room and I saw a big group of kids enjoying pizza/cake. It's definitely a fun stop for a bday party, although think it would be difficult for any kid under 10. I, myself, found it challenging in my 40s.

An hour was plenty of time to experience the fun, although if you expect to pass the majority of the rooms you probably need the 2 hour option. Not sure if I'd make the long trip back to Aurora, but I'd definitely go back if they opened a closer location and recommend to others in the area.

Brought the family here for a birthday, it was awesome because it has different options than a traditional escape room.

Not worth the price.

My boyfriend and I enjoy doing these interactive, fun escape rooms, but this was not one of them. First off, pretty expensive for just a meh experience. Just for the both of us was already in the $70-80s range. Some of the rooms were alright, but a good amount of them were rooms that were out of order or not working properly. Some of the rooms were similar in challenges, and some just did not seem.. finished. It was pretty disappointing to say the least. We had high hopes for this place, seeing that it was advertised differently from what it actually is. We'd much rather spend the $30+ on an escape room.

I had a great time had with all three of my (12, 15 and 17 year old)kids at MISHMASH. Almost all of the rooms were working, even though they were busy we were easily able to get to try all of them.

Had a blast. If you like challenging, timed puzzles and riddles, this is the place to be. A great date night destination, team building, or just want to challenge yourself. Check it out.

We went yesterday as a group of adults and kids from 10-17 years old. Used a Groupon so very affordable. Fun for everyone!!! The physical challenges were harder than I expected but such a thrill if we completed. Sometimes you had to use your brain instead of your brawn to complete. Kids had a blast. Wish they had one in SF where we live. Highly recommend.

Overpriced experience in my opinion. Two hour time slot was way too much time for 10 year old boys, they lost interest after about 45 minutes. We thought it would be cooler than it was, honestly.
