It is the year 2024 but the world as you know is not the same. In this alternative reality, coal and steam power the world. As a result the technology that you are accustomed to simply does not exist. No computers, bright lights, or lasers. And the reason for this lack of progress is not an accident. Greedy and influential masters of the coal industry suppress any inventions that challenge the power of coal. Inventors vanish mysteriously before their groundbreaking ideas see the light of day. It's up to you to bring the world to a brighter future and get the blueprints of this new invention out of the lab of your scientist friend who was arrested when rumors about his new invention started spreading. You have one hour to secure the blueprints of a new, clean electricity generator. Act quickly, before sinister forces intervene.

Escape rooms for large teams: how to play with ten people

Most escape rooms are limited to 4–6 players, so finding one for a large group is a classic organizer's headache. This page features rooms in Chicago that can actually accommodate 7, 8, and even 10+ people: large multi-room sets, duel formats where two teams compete, and venues that run multiple rooms simultaneously.

For corporate events and birthdays, call the venue after booking: many offer party rooms, championship formats across multiple escape rooms, and group discounts that aren't even listed on the site.

Practical tip: in a large team, appoint a "captain" to gather findings and keep track of time — with 8 pairs of hands, the bottleneck isn't the complexity of puzzles, but communication. Duel rooms solve this by splitting you into rival teams.
