About 815 Escape

815 Escape is a family-owned escape room venue in Rockford where visitors work together to solve puzzles and find clues while racing against the clock. Players are locked in themed rooms and must match wits with the game designers to secure their freedom before time runs out. The venue features three distinct escape room experiences: The Illustrious Flat, where players become descendants of Sherlock Holmes investigating a mystery in London; The Costello Suite, set in 1920s Chicago where teams dismantle a bootlegger's criminal empire; and The Time Keepers Lair, where visitors uncover secrets surrounding a vanished inventor. Each room emphasizes teamwork, creativity and critical thinking as groups work through step-by-step challenges. The escape rooms suit birthdays, families, friend groups, classmates, work teams, dates, reunions, corporate team-building events and wedding parties. The venue regularly updates themes and alternate endings so repeat visits offer different experiences. Reservations are recommended, though walk-ins are accepted based on availability. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
