Our Story

Just Escape Room first opened its doors in 2017, bringing the very first escape room experience to the La Grange area. Starting with four original rooms The Attic, Split Personality, The Secret, and The Closet we quickly became a local favorite for immersive, puzzle-filled adventures that challenge the mind and spark the imagination.

In 2023, Just Escape Room entered a new chapter under the ownership of Jordan Couch, a lifelong escape room enthusiast whose dream was to one day open a place of his own. Jordan brought with him three years of hands-on experience working with Escapology, the world’s largest escape room franchise, where he learned the operations at their Orland Park, Illinois location. (You can read more about Jordan’s journey under the About the Owner tab.)

In 2024, we began re imagining our lineup of rooms. The Closet and The Secret were retired to make room for our latest creation: Floor 66, a high-stakes, story-driven room that has already become a breakout hit with both new players and seasoned escape artists.

With a growing community of puzzle-solvers and a passion for building unforgettable experiences, Just Escape Room continues to evolve always keeping one step ahead to deliver the next great adventure.

  • Hello, my name is Jordan and I’ve been an escape room enthusiast for about 6–7 years now, and a haunt enthusiast for even longer. When I started my journey at Escapology, I did so with the dream of one day opening my very own escape room.

    After years of hard work and a lucky opportunity, I was offered the chance to take over Just Escape Room. I stepped into the business with the mindset that I knew what escape room players wanted and liked but I had no idea how to actually run a business.

    Slowly but surely, I found my way around and have grown Just Escape Room into what it is today. I’ve been lucky enough to design and build a room of my own: Floor 66. Since opening in August of 2024, over 2,000 players have taken on the challenge.

    I’m self-taught when it comes to building and running escape rooms from making props, setting up lighting, to managing the software that powers our games. I’m a fast learner when it comes to things I’m passionate about, and I hope to one day bring many more escape room experiences to players across the country.

    And hopefully, one day soon, I’ll bring a haunted house experience like no other to the Chicagoland area.
