We are a uniquely family-friendly escape room with the ability to adjust the challenge level of our puzzles to meet your party’s needs. Elementary school children love our immersive, interactive puzzles and seasoned escape room veterans can request mind-bending cryptic clues. You and your team have 60 minutes to untangle the evidence, draw conclusions, and defy the odds to claim your victory. If you’re ready to start the clock, book now!
Rooms are limited to 2-10* participants and are private bookings at this time. In other words, your group will not be paired with strangers to fill a room. Walk-in groups may have availability but online reservations are highly encouraged. Children younger than age 13 MAY NOT be alone in our escape rooms and must be accompanied by a paid adult.
*2-10 players for Save Sherlock! and 2-8 players for Captain’s Quarters

Our Escape Rooms
Save Sherlock!
To the esteemed colleagues of Sherlock Holmes,
It would seem that the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated and your detective has found himself in a rather precarious situation. If your powers of observation and deduction are truly keen then you’ll be able to find the code that can save him. Prove yourself to me and I will release him, you have my word.
-Professor Moriarty
Difficulty: Standard.
Captain’s Quarters ~ CLOSED
This room is currently closed. Look for an all-new adventure in spring, 2023!

Directions & Parking
There is ample free street parking around Elmhurst Escape Room.
If you’d like the peace of mind of a parking garage, there is a free-for-4-hours parking garage just around the block from Elmhurst Escape Room. Point your navigator to Addison Parking Deck 135 N Addison Ave in Elmhurst. Take the elevator in the Northwest corner of the building (to Addison Ave) down to the street level. Now you’ll head around the block! First, turn right out of the garage. Then take a right on 2nd Ave. Finally, take another right onto York Ave at Starbucks (open until 9 p.m.) and Elmhurst Escape Room is the door just before the movie theater.
