Crack The Code Room Escape Tinley - Tinley Park, Illinois

Rose Wilton

Our family has been to many escape rooms across the U.S. Our experience at Crack the Code in Tinley Park was by far our worst experience to date.

We love going to escape rooms to force us to really use our brains and try to solve puzzles. Some struggles are good and give us a sense of accomplishment. That didn’t happen here because the host told us how to solve every puzzle without us even requesting help. She literally told us how to solve every puzzle. Hints are ok but not solutions when we didn’t even ask for hints.

We love the sense of escaping with a few minutes left. We escaped with 26 minutes left and that included a “bonus” round.

We booked our reservation about 20 minutes before the scheduled time. Upon arrival, the store front was closed and we had to call to ask if they were going to open for us. I should have known it was going to be a bad experience when the host showed up frazzled.

Definitely not worth $24 per person ($78 for the 3 in our party). I would love a refund of some sort.

Unfortunate experience to say the least!

Came to this escape room in late September of 2021. We got the plant themed room to ourselves and were given an hour to complete the puzzle. It was an engaging and well thought out room with details that I enjoyed. I did like that the game attendant made very clear to us what was NOT part of the puzzle so that we didn’t waste out time looking in places we didn’t have to.

I only had two gripes with my time there. One was the price. For roughly $25 a person it’s a very short experience at only an hour max. Secondly some of the small details that were meant to help us were not maintained. The flashlights in my case. We were instructed not to use our phones but one of the two flashlights we were provided in the room died as soon as we started our escape.

We had a family outing and here and we had a BLAST! This was fun for all ages. Crack the Code was very accommodating and helped set up the whole event. We got a group rate price which was generous. It was very simple to make dinner plans after because there are so many restaurants on oak park Ave and 171st. We will be back!

The owner, Laura, was great! She is so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. And it is such a cute space. We did the Written in the Stars room, which is the hardest room known to man, but as my niece said, “jokes on you, we are women and we got out” (lol, just joking). In all serious, this is a tricky room but not impossible and a must if you like astrology and/or astronomy. This was an awesome experience and we will definitely be back!

Laura, the owner of this place, is truly a wonderful human being. I hosted my daughter’s birthday party there and Laura was so helpful in answering my questions, helping me make the reservation, and even offered a discount code. But even more than that, I made a mistake in my reservation and almost had seven disappointed 11 year olds, but Laura helped save the day along with some other very nice patrons. The two workers there that day were fabulous as well, and the girls enjoyed their time so much in the escape room. Support this local business and you won’t be disappointed.

Had a really great time at Crack the Code! Game master was very into the room and added to the overall experience of escaping. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun time with friends or family.
