PanIQ Escape Room Chicago (Logan Square)

Really nice and fun escape room! Kudos to Jim and Vanessa for being our game masters!! I did the Wizard Trials escape room with my friends, and we all had fun! Out of most of the escape rooms that I have done in the past, I feel like this escape room takes the cake. One thing I liked about the Wizard Trials escape room are the wands that we got to interact with certain puzzles. It made it feel special and unique, and Ive never played an escape room with this kind of feature. Definitely the best escape room, and Id highly recommend booking this escape room as a beginner!

Jim was a delight! We did Red wire, it was super great. Highly recommend. Definitely get into it if you go! Its the most fun if you go with the silly stuff, I promise.

My friends and I did the medieval madness and were told it was expert level, when we booked we didn t know that, it was challenging because we had to do everything in the dark but they gave us torches so it gave us some source light. It was literally puzzle after puzzle after puzzle. You had to figure out one thing to get to the next but in small increments. We ran out of time but our game host gave us more time due to the cancellation of the group after us. We really appreciated that! Super fun!! Definitely can be done by anyone, don t let the expert level scare you!

We had a wonderful experience on Friday (with Jim as our guide). My wife and 13 year old daughter and I had a blast in the Red Wire room, and loved the transformational surprises that are part of the experience! Puzzle difficulty was perfect for us as a group of three with some escape room experience. Thank you!

JIM was an amazing game master! Very friendly, energetic, and played along with the theme of the rooms. We did the Wizard Trials and Red Wire back to back and had so much fun. The rooms are well maintained and have a lot of different puzzles. Not your typical 5 locks to unlock rooms.

Did the wizard room with some friends and it was a blast! The room was stunning and Alex was super helpful and wonderful! Highly recommend and I can t wait to try the other rooms. Hope we can snag Alex next time as well!

Jim was a great host. Explained the rules well and helped get us up to speed quickly even though we were late. Very enjoyable puzzles and he gave hints that were appropriate for our time left and skill level. Enjoyable experience!

Jim and Jaden were excellent game masters! We had a blast. Very fun elements within the room, and the level 4 difficulty gave a satisfying challenge.

6 of us went to Paniq Room with no prior escape room experience and did the Wizard Trials. We didn t know what to expect but ended up all having a blast. The puzzles were just the right amount of challenging and when we needed a hint, the Game Master was super helpful! We completed it with only five minutes to spare. Tons of fun. Would recommend it to friends/family!

Jim was just lovely! Highly recommend both him and this escape room. Red Wire was great, Im sure the rest are amazing as well. It was a great time for a duo, we escaped thanks to some help from a great GM! Thanks Jim!

We did the Wizard Trials which was a super fun experience! The technology in our room truly made the experience magical! Shoutout to our game master Jim for being so helpful!

We have done several escape rooms around the country but absolutely LOVED PanIQ rooms. We completed 7 and found then all to have a great variety of unique tasks and puzzles. Never felt forced or repetitive. Star ratings really matched the difficulties of the rooms. All in great condition and we had great game masters,Alex and Zach. Would recommend to escape enthusiasts and first time escapees.

As a family we ve done around ten escape rooms across the country and this one is by far the best. Zach was very friendly at check-in and helped us get situated without feeling rushed. The game itself was a nice challenge but doable

We had an amazing experience at PANIQ!!! The company overall is great at the design aspect of the escape rooms, not Mom-and-Pop whatsoever. We saw some new mechanisms and tech, which is always a bonus for experienced players. Our game masters, Vanessa and Jim, were very attentive and were just the right amount of helpful without giving away the answers. Their positive feedback was very much appreciated, encouraging us to move forward without panic. Thank you so much!!!

Absolutely loved this place! Did the Wizard Trials (think that s what it was called) and truly enjoyed it. Vanessa & Jim were such great help along the way. Have been to the Paniq Room in Fulton Market (which was fun) but i think i enjoyed this one a litttttle more ! Def recommend doing with either your significant other for a fun date night or with a large group or friends!

Have previously been to PanIQ with my daughter for Wizard Trials and loved that experience. Returned with my daughter to tackle Onyx Tower - the perfect escape room for newbies, its ideal for 2 people and includes a ton of fun and challenging puzzles/tasks. Our Game Master Zach was clever with hints and made it an extra enjoyable experience. Enjoyed Onyx Tower so much that we stayed to book Red Wire directly afterward, very glad we did! You become immersed in the backstory and theme while you play...
Read full review, and the puzzles/tasks are super creative and clever. Much to accomplish for 2 people in 60 minutes but by no means impossible - its a large enough environment for up to 6 people. Props to Zach our Game Master, he stayed in character the whole time and was careful and strategic with hints when we needed - hes also a super nice human overall! All escape rooms in the Logan Square location are must-tries for newbies or enthusiasts. Will be back with a larger group to conquer Medieval Madness! \m/ \m/

Onyx Tower. Super fun 45 minute mini room. Linnear. Some fun new tech. Really fun! Jim was the best game master. Followed up w Medieval Madness. One of the best rooms we ve ever done! Very cool, very tough. Jim crushed again!

What a fantastic experience! Came for my bachelorette party and finished the medieval room with Aleister! We loved it so much and came back the next day to do the Wizard room with Jim and Vanessa. Two great adventures. 10/10!!

Great escape room, we did the Red Wire and escaped. It was a challenge but still doable! Also shout out to Jim, he was very welcoming and explained everything really well! We are definitely going to come back and do another one!

Everyone was super nice and helpful. They made the experience a fun and entertaining one for us all. Will definitely come back for another room theme.

Ive been to so many escape rooms, but this one was by far the best! The Medieval Madness room had so many unique puzzles. I highly recommend it to escape room junkies and anyone whos tired of repetitive puzzles.

Excellent birthday outing for a group of 12 years who love to play brain games. We did the Wizard Trails and everyone had a blast! Will definitely be back.

One of the best escape rooms in the Chicago area!! We did Onyx Tower and Medieval Madness and both were amazing. The game masters were also on point and very helpful. We will for sure be back.

Our group had a such wonderful time we came back a week later. Jim and Vanessa are great host!

We had the BEST time with Alex as our Game Master for Wizard Trials! I will definitely be back to try all the other rooms!
