Gen Con 2025

Critical Putt returns to Gen Con 2025!

This 90-minute real-life adventure combines minigolf with escape-room-style puzzles and RPG theming to craft a unique (and ridiculous) experience!

King Parthur has again summoned heroes to defend the kingdom of Parcadia! Armed with…unconventional tools (that look suspiciously like a golf ball and a putter), your group sets out to defeat the encroaching evil.

More than just a series of putting challenges, Critical Putt features character creation, puzzles, and performers to create an RPG-style adventure that uses minigolf to tell a fantastical story.

For those of you who played in 2023 - we heard your feedback and are excited to show off our new adventure in a larger space! You may see some repeated (and improved!) golf holes, but we will also be bringing completely new holes, puzzles, and challenges.

Based in Champaign-Urbana IL, CU Adventures hosted escape rooms at Gen Con from 2016-2019 and Critical Putt in 2023. Known for immersive sets and award-winning gameplay, we return to Gen Con with this new/improved experience.

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions about the event. You can email us at info@cuadventures.com or message us on Facebook. Watch this space for news and additional information about the game as we get closer to August!
