Unleash Your Inner Detective: Explore Woodfield Mall's New Escape Room Adventure!

Are you in for a creepy pizza party with a few mysteries to solve? Then you might want to book an hour at the new escape room at Woodfield Mall.

When I was a kid, I basically lived at Woodfield Mall. I grew up seven minutes away and well, there wasn't all that much to do in the 90s except walk around the mall and pretend like you're going to buy things for three hours until your mom picks you up.

These days, there's a lot more for kids and teens to do, including even more at the mall!

In the past few years I realized how much I love escape rooms. They're really that one activity that I get sucked into completely when I start. Forget talking to me about anything else, I am going to solve this mystery!

Over the holiday season last year, I realized my oldest nephews also liked escape rooms, so we went to our first together in January,.

This story is not about that escape room, because well, it sucked. Sorry, not sorry.

However, this past weekend, my nephews and I tried one more time and we most definitely had a better time at the new escape room at Woodfield.

If you remember where the McDonald's was near center court (I know, I can't believe it's gone either!), it's two doors down, one away from the Cinnabon.

This escape room is called '60 to Escape,' and it's filled with a handful of different rooms that you can try with your friends and family.

Grenning, Harrison and I took on 'Cheesie's Pizza Party,' and we escaped with one minute and 34 seconds to go!

It is a little scary at Cheesie's, but aside from a few jump scares and Cheesie making his first appearance, we were ok. I wouldn't recommend taking any kids under 12 to this one.
