History The Quandary Escape Rooms was founded in 2018 by a group of friends with a shared passion for puzzles, games, and problem-solving. The company’s first escape room, the Vex Room, quickly became one of the most popular and beloved escape rooms in Oak Park, and the company has since expanded to include a range of other escape rooms, each with its own unique theme and storyline.
Design and Theme The Quandary Escape Rooms offers a range of different escape rooms, each with its own unique theme and storyline. These include the Vex Room, a futuristic-themed room that challenges visitors to solve puzzles and escape before time runs out, and the Contagion Room, a medical-themed room that requires visitors to find a cure for a deadly virus and save the world from destruction.
Each room is designed to be both challenging and immersive, with a focus on teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Visitors must work together to solve a series of puzzles and clues in order to unlock the secrets of the room and find their way to safety.

FAQ's
CAN I BRING MY CHILD?
Yes, our rooms are kid friendly with our most family-friendly room being Left At Home, but our recommended age for players is 10 and up (with adult participation).
CAN I JUST DROP OFF MY KIDS TO DO THE ROOM?
No, we require adult supervision for children under the age of 18. We ain't yo' baby sitter!
HOW LONG IS THE EXPERIENCE
Our games have a time limit of 60 minutes. ...or longer if you get stuck in there and can't find your way out, but we've only had a few groups to be lost for all eternity.
WHY DOES A TIME SAY CALL TO BOOK?
That could mean a couple different things: 1. At times, our staff is "on-call." So in order to have happy and not super-stressed employees, many of our bookings close 1.5 hrs before start time. There is a chance that a happy staff member may be present at the facility, so you can call and see if a slot is available. 2. The booking is completely full and you'll need to book for another time.
DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
Most of the time, no. But sometimes if a staff member is around and no booking is going on, we may be able to squeeze you in.
WHAT ABOUT PARKING?
We don't have dedicated parking, but the pay-to-park street parking out front on Clark is almost always available.
