Hidden Barn Escape Introduce

Welcome to Hidden Barn Escape, located at 122 3rd Ave E, Milan, IL 61264, USA. You can contact them at (309) 558-1739 or +1 309-558-1739.

Hidden Barn Escape, featured in the Theme Park Directory category, offers escape room experiences. Customer reviews present a mixed picture, with some praising the complexity of the puzzles and others criticizing the facility's condition and the quality of the props.

One customer reported having a "blast" with the "Interrogation" escape room, noting its complexity and the fun they had while trying to solve the mystery. They expressed a desire to return and try other rooms.

However, another customer, who had experienced over 60 escape rooms across the US, expressed significant disappointment. They described the facility's interior as being in "serious disrepair," with missing floor tiles, holes in the walls, and broken or flimsy props. They also criticized the quality of the puzzles, comparing them to a "kids' birthday party escape room kit."

The customer also noted issues with the clue system, which involved using a walkie-talkie with unclear communication. Additionally, they highlighted the facility's policy of locking up customers' phones during the game, which they found unusual.

The overall sentiment of the negative review was that the experience was not worth the $30 price, especially when compared to other escape rooms in the same area. They also criticized the random photo props provided at the end of the game.

Key features and services include:

  • Escape room experiences (e.g., "Interrogation").
  • Unique puzzles.

Areas of concern noted by customers:

  • Facility in disrepair.
  • Poor quality props and puzzles.
  • Unclear communication via walkie-talkie clues.
  • Phone lockup policy.
  • Random and unrelated photo props.

Hidden Barn Escape offers escape room experiences, but potential customers should be aware of the mixed reviews and the reported issues with the facility's condition and the quality of the experience. It is recommended to proceed with caution and consider these factors before making a reservation.

We did the Interrogation Escape Room and had a blast! It was complicated, in-depth and we had to use a few clues but we had plenty of laughs together while trying to figure out the murderer! We will absolutely come back and do another escape room!

We have done over 60 escape rooms in various states across the US, and unfortunately this was not so great. We made our own fun with our friends, but frankly I was embarrassed that I had made the reservation for our group, given the state of the place when we walked in. It's a cute building on the outside, our receptionist / game master was very friendly, and some of the puzzles were unique (hence two stars instead of one). However, The state of the building on the inside is in serious disrepair. There are floor tiles missing, there are holes in the walls, the props and puzzle pieces are super basic and several of them were broken or falling apart. One of the locks was just duct taped to the wall. I honestly would have been embarrassed if I had created this room in this space. ⁷ It looked like they ordered a kit for a kids' birthday party escape room and put that in the space. That is not a $30 experience. I paid $20 the next day at another location in the same town and got a lot better production quality! Also be aware, the way you get clues is by asking on a walkie-talkie which is unique and seems fun but we couldn't understand what she was saying on the other end so that was a bummer. Please note, at this facility they will have you place your phones in a box that they will lock up for you while you play the game. I've only encountered this a few times where you have to put your phones in a locker of some sort (95% of places just tell you not to use your phones to Google stuff or take pictures ) so if you're not comfortable with this, just leave your phone in your car. I'm glad I had mine after the game so I could have her take a picture on my phone and didn't have to go hunting for it on Facebook. Side note to the facility owners, please provide a larger table for folks to place their puzzle pieces on and work on during the game (we played Interrogation). Also, most photo props that people use at the end of the game have to do with the theme of the game. These props were just the kind you would use if you're having a photo booth at a party. They were completely random. Again we made our own fun with our friends but not worth $30.

I came here with my boyfriend last month for my birthday and had a lovely time. This was only our second escape room ever, but the owner was super nice and helpful. We did the jail cell room. The puzzles were challenging, and we had a blast! Definitely recommend!

Wish I could say we had a great time, but all we did was lose money. My wife booked a same-day escape and put down a deposit but never received a confirmation that the booking was on. The deposit cleared the bank a few days later so my wife asked for a refund. After three weeks and a few emails, the owner responded that deposits were non-refundable and didn't make any effort to re-book or solve the problem another way. Buyer beware.

We had a GREAT first time experience at the Hidden Barn Escape LLC My son is a HUGE The Office fan and was a great asset, but the riddles are definetely well thought out and can be solved with just attention to detail... we worked together (like never before) to solve the clues and had a FANTASTIC time! Thanks for the reccomendations and l agree is a 5-star attraction, we will look forward to checknout on our next visit! I also appreciate accommodating us to bring our younger daughter who wasn’t playing & needed to tag along!
