Escape room was pretty mid. We did the home, 2nd part of the escape room made no sense. The solution was very prone to user error and was overall sloppily designed. There was a prop that looked like part of the room which we needed to dislodge, which took us a long time to find. The puzzles had too many red herrings. There were several props and details in the room that looked like they were supposed to mean something, but they were actually just useless. And finally, the room looked nothing like the pictures online. Too many red herrings, sloppily designed solutions, and an escape room that was very sparsely decorated. It was a fun time solving it with my group, and our host Q was very nice and let us hold props in our group photo at the end. Escape rooms with people you like will always be fun, and this place is certainly an escape room. That being said, there are much better options in NYC.

I loved my time here! (Ps- Becky is awesome) Edit: I had such a great experience last time, I had to come back before flying out. This time, my friends and I did Quizboxing. This was just as good, if not better than the escape rooms! The game was separated into 5 rounds and it was a free for all gameplay. Make sure you ask for Becky Zhang as she took great care of all players. I’d highly recommend coming by for a visit, and I will definitely be back soon!
People Also Ask
How do escape rooms work?
Escape rooms are designed to immerse players in a locked room where they must race against a 60-minute clock to uncover secrets and clues to earn their freedom. Success depends on observation and logic.
What happens if I only want my group in an escape room?
All games are open to the public unless you purchase the 'private experience' option. You can upgrade to a private booking by buying out unbooked slots at a 50% discount. Otherwise, you may be paired with other customers.
Are there any age restrictions for playing?
While puzzles are designed for adults, all ages are welcome. An adult chaperone must accompany anyone 14 or under. If any player is 10 or under, you must book the entire room for a private game.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
Cancellation protection is available for $3 per ticket. With protection, you can cancel for a full refund or reschedule without charge up to 48 hours before your booking. Bookings within 48 hours are non-refundable.
What happens if I arrive late for my booking?
For private games, we can hold the start for up to ten minutes, after which your 60-minute game clock begins. For public games, the clock starts on time, and entry is not permitted after 15 minutes have passed.
Can I bring food or drinks into the room?
Food is not permitted inside the rooms. However, beverages in sealed bottles, such as water bottles, are allowed.
