Hide Seek – New Pop Up in Chicago

August 13, 2021 by Chi@glance

HideSeek is Real Life Recess for All
Canada’s favorite immersive experience starts US tour in Chicago – and continues to bring childlike wonder to life.

HideSeek, an immersive pop-up experience inspired by childhood nostalgia, is headed to Chicago this summer. After two successful exhibits in Toronto and Montreal, HideSeek is embarking on a US tour, with its first stop in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood.

Taking over a 10,000 square foot location at 1620 North Wells Street in Pipers Alley, the exhibit opens to the public on August 14 and with tickets on sale now. Until October 31, experience a transformative space of multi-sensory adventure designed to let guests of all ages feel like a kid again.

HideSeek invites guests to rediscover their inner child as they explore 15 immersive installations in a pop-up world, all designed to create delight! Every corner of HideSeek is guaranteed to excite in person and impress in photos, with rooms bursting with bubbles and floor-to-ceiling slinkies that have a life of their own. HideSeek is today’s real life recess – bringing childlike wonder to life and evoking the timeless sensation of nostalgia.

Local charity, Center on Halsted will be the Grand Opening charity partner that HideSeek will donate 100% of proceeds from the charity kiosk at the entry of the experience. Any purchases made at the charity kiosk will specifically be donated to the youth mission of Center on Halsted. Throughout the experience duration, HideSeek will partner with various charitable organizations to bring awareness to local causes that focus on Chicago’s youth.

“We are so excited to welcome the Chicago community to our playful pop-up to bring a sense of wonder again and celebrate the joys of childhood” says Lee Davis, founder of HideSeek.

General admission tickets to HideSeek are $35.00 plus taxes and fees; children’s tickets (ages 4-12) are $27.00 plus taxes and fees. Free admission to children under the age of 3. General admission tickets are available for purchase via https://www.gohideseek.com/pages/tickets. Private bookings available.

To protect staff members and guests, HideSeek will follow all COVID-19 safety protocols from the CDC and local government officials.

The HideSeek team has made significant modifications from past exhibits to ensure the safety of visitors, but also have enhanced the experience with new rooms and immersive moments for Chicago. With timed ticket entry and limited tickets sold for each time slot, guests can feel safe and enjoy the experience without being packed in a crowd.

I had such a good time @Chicago_Gourmet Grand Cru I had such a good time @Chicago_Gourmet Grand Cru second session last night hosted by @Chefsarahjayne and @Cshepherd13.

Grand Cru is a world class tasting tour for the true food lover, and this year the rhythm is global dance. Award-winning chefs brought a high energy pulse to every plate. The culinary dishes were paired with a masterclass in premium wines and spirits for a refined, rhythmic journey across cultures and cuisines. My FAVORITE bite of the night was @Johnsfoodandwine Murasaki Sweet Potato Brûlée. I got in line twice for that! 

Last call! Do you have your tickets for Rise & Shine Gourmet today? 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑻𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒃𝒖𝒅𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆.

I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was in I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was invited to an exclusive meet the artist event at Michelin Star @Esme_Chicago with acclaimed, Chicago born contemporary artist, @Hebrubrantley. The event was presented alongside @artehausstudios and @Framechicago.

The meet and greet was in celebration of Esmé’s newest menu transition and multi-sensory dining collaboration with Brantley. (Once and Future exhibition) Favorite dishes from throughout Esmé’s history have been reimagined through the singularity of Brantley’s narrative driven work and are utilized as a canvas to further spotlight his multifaceted ideas and powerful cultural commentaries. 

The restaurant is transformed into an immersive, pop-up gallery space, showcasing a selection of Brantley’s paintings and sculptures peppered throughout the dining room. What a fun way to mix art with food! Thanks to Chef @jennertomaska and team for the yummy cocktails and bites. 😋 Make your reservations on Opentable!
