Chicago Southland Adventures

Need a break from the family after Thanksgiving? Come join us and have some fun as we help Scooby and Friends solve the mystery!

The town of Crystal Cove and the surrounding areas are being terrorized by monsters and ghosts. You have 60 minutes to solve the crime before midnight! (7/10 difficulty). This is a team event and communication is key to success.

The cost is $38 per person, which can be paid upon arrival (no cash is accepted, so be prepared with debit or credit). You will also need to sign a waiver form to participate, which you are encouraged to do ahead of time. Once you sign up for the event, I will forward you the email with the information and link.

The escape room experience starts strictly at 4:20. You should arrive at 4:00. The game will end exactly one hour after the start time. Latecomers will not be able to join once the game has begun, so plan accordingly!

After using all that brain power, we can decide afterwards if folks want to have dinner and/or drinks.

Join us for Brunch & Art this Sunday! You might find the perfect handcrafted gift along with a delicious brunch. We will be there from 11-1, although the event runs until 5 pm. I’ll grab a table so look for me!

According to the Patch:
“The free, family-friendly event offers something for everyone. Enjoy handheld and dippable delights from The Scratchmade Kitchen, including brunch options, and explore a diverse range of artisan creations while savoring Hailstorm Brewing’s renowned craft beverages.

Shoppers can choose from robust stouts, crisp pilsners, non-alcoholic brews and more to enjoy as they browse.

"This Flurry Market is completely free to attend and carefully curated by the Streetz Artz Alliance," said John Streetz, head of the Streetz Artz Alliance. "I take great pride in bringing together an eclectic mix of local artists, high-quality artisans. I sincerely hope our patrons enjoy this incredible event."

✨The Beverly Arts Center YTC -Youth Theater Company is producing just four performances of Elf, Jr the Musical based on the hit movie. The Youth Theatre Company produces full-scale productions featuring students ages 8-18. This show will sell out quickly.✨

The musical tells the story of “Buddy, a young orphan, who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity.”

I have purchased seats A107 and A108 in the front row. Please purchase a nearby seat if you can in order to sit with our group.

🎟️ Please post your ticket number in the comments after you have purchased your ticket so we know where you are located.
