What travellers are saying
- David BBrooklyn, NY1,747 contributionsWe were so close to escaping the room. We had the clock tower and it was really cool. We brought our soon to be 9 yo daughter and thought it was really fun. We did have some difficulty but almost finished but time ran out as you only have 1 hour to complete.Written 24 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Navigate031715988071 contributionI'm not really someone who writes reviews, but as someone who has done well over 50 escape rooms, I have to say the Escape Game has never been topped. The Special Ops: Mysterious Market is probably my favorite escape room of all time (story wise, immersion wise, puzzle wise, etc), and I've found all the rooms to be such a rewarding level of difficulty and cleverness. I've now done all of them at the NYC location (most recently the Only Murders one, which was VERY unique and fun), and I've also done some of their rooms at their other locations, such as Mission Mars, which was another top room of all time. The design and care put into the rooms is unmatched, and I can't recommend them enough! The workers are friendly and understanding as well, and it's a great time!Written 18 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura6 contributionsWe loved the the End of Days room so much that we also tried the Carbon: 3708 later on the same day. Carbon was really challenging and we needed extra time and lots of hints to escape (and we are experienced at escape rooms.) End of Days was just the right amount of challenge. Staff was super friendly. Great location. We would like to return to do the third room.Written 10 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dr Beth W2 contributionsMy husband and I are in our 60s and wanted to do something fun with our son (in his late 20s) who was visiting from LA. We had an absolute blast. We escaped with about 3 minutes to spare .It is the perfect mix of adrenaline rush and use of intellect. The Witch's Curse was beautifully designed and felt like an expensive movie set. Our game master Frida was terrific in helping us with clues and guidance. We were shocked to learn that she was practically brand new.Written 7 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heather HBrooklyn, NY1 contributionThe best escape room we've done to date. We did this for my daughter's 15th birthday party and it was awesome, exceedingmy expectations. The setup is brilliant.

- Paisley NLondon, UK1 contributionGreat experience! We enjoyed playing the online game . I enjoyed these puzzles because they were innovative and challenging. The interface worked well and we were able to easily join two other players in different locations. I highly recommend itWritten 4 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- zam (veneer's version)World1 contributionIt was amazing! I really liked Poppy and DJ Suki. I wish they added Velvet and Veneer because they carried the entire franchise, but it was a really unique experience.Written 22 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CrumbysmomNew York City, NY98 contributionsSimple fun that is great for all ages! My 6-year-old was invited by a friend to celebrate his birthday. I had never heard of this place before so I didn't know what to expect but it was amazing! We were greeted by Hyum who couldn't have been nicer. He let us hang around until his friend arrived and gave us all the info we needed to get started. It's very easy to understand and to jump right in. My son spent 45 minutes jumping and running with his friend. They had a blast and they even did a special birthday show with the lights. Hyum is super nice and provided us with excellent customer service, fun for all ages, free lockers to store your stuff, beverages for purchase, and good music. My son asked to go back the moment we got on the train. This would be a perfect place for a rainy day activity! We will be back.Written 4 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Steve SNew York City, NY71 contributionsWhat an incredible experience. We went to a different VR experience and to say this one was better is an insult to Tidal Force in that TF is on another planet. The VR is so immersive and so realistic and worth every penny. It is certainly more expensive that others, but if ever "you get what you pay for" comes into play, this is it. We met the creator of the games and he is so cool and friendly and we got to try his newest game. If you enjoy VR then you must do this in NYC.Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KhristinaNew York City, NY9 contributionsvisited the playground twice with my 1, 9 and 12 years old and EVERYONE LOVED IT
it was really hard for us to find some nice indoor place for summer with such a HUGE area, but all of my kiddos loved and killed every inch of it. ngl last time we spent almost 3 hours there with having snacks and trying out all the new fancy things they’ve got.
as for parent i love the location and the cleanliness, all the other aspects you can check on my kid’s faces
LOVED LOVE LOVED IT!
ps: Thinking about getting membership cause doesn’t look like my kids will ever get tired of this place

- Julián M3 contributionsThe staff was simply perfect. The guy with the "Real Betis FC" socks made my day when he revealed his joke.

- Jenna P3 contributionsThis is an excellent and fun escape room! The puzzles were intricate and challenging. The entire room was very well done and made for an excited hour and a half. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this kind of challenge!
We did The Penitentiary which is the hardest of their three rooms and even though we didn’t quite make it out we still had a blast while doing it! I’m very excited to come back and try their other two rooms!Written 17 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
