The Detective's Office was designed by Chicago artists to mimic a lounge/office from the 1930s. Utilize this stylized space for your next film, music video, or photoshoot for a film noir edge! Located in Wicker Park, this unique space has a neighborhood to match. The Detective's Office is within walking distance of Wicker Park's best restaurants, bars, cafes, and the Damen and Division Blue Line trains. The Detective's Office is available 7 days a week. Two hour booking minimum, $85/hr. VACCINATION OR NEGATIVE COVID TESTS RESULTS AND MASK REQUIREMENTS: As of January 3rd, Chicago will be issuing a vaccination mandate. Our space will be following this mandate. All guests must show PROOF OF VACCINATION OR NEGATIVE COVID TEST RESULTS upon entry — either your physical vaccination card or a photo of it with an accompanying ID. We will accept medical and/or religious exemption for renters or members of their crew, but this MUST BE COMMUNICATED PRIOR TO YOUR BOOKING. We require a minimum of 24 hours notice. For the safety of public health, renters are REQUIRED TO WEAR FACE MASKS at all times, with the sole exception of talent while on camera. By renting our facility, guests acknowledge that they are using a public space at their own risk, and take full responsibility for their personal health.

Easy space to work in. Very accommodating and flexible with last minute details.

10/10 would recommend -- the set and staff were wonderful! Rosie was quick to respond & super easy to communicate with, and Delia at the front was very accommodating when we entered and helpful with any questions I had. I love that the space as a whole is meant to be an escape room, but each studio/room can be used for individual shoots. The detective's office was the perfect background for my Velma/Scooby Doo photoshoot, and I can't wait to try out the other rooms! Thanks, Rosie & team!

The location boasts stunning aesthetics, yet it proves suboptimal for comprehensive film production endeavors. Its suitability is more aligned with video or photo shoots rather than extensive cinematic projects. Regrettably, I was not made aware of the multiple bookings on the day of my shoot until shortly prior to the event, and even learned of a second booking only on the day itself. Throughout our filming, the auditory distractions stemming from conversations, laughter of other patrons, and intrusive ambient noises were evident. Additionally, disruptive noises, notably emanating from the upper floor where a yoga studio presumably operates, significantly compromised audio recording efforts. This acoustical challenge lies beyond the scope of even the most skilled sound technicians to rectify. These variables, which could have greatly influenced my decision-making process, ought to have been disclosed proactively, or minimally, included in the space's description. With foreknowledge of these considerations, I would have undoubtedly pursued an alternative location. My two-star rating is attributed solely to the managers' earnest attempts to accommodate our needs amidst the multitude of setbacks. Unfortunately, their commendable efforts cannot reclaim the considerable financial investment and time expended on today's production within this less-than-ideal venue. It is disheartening to note that even before the cast and crew's arrival, the restroom facilities presented unsanitary conditions, compounding the challenges encountered. Will not be returning.
