Escape Room Experience

Pros:

  • "Great escape room experience, real challenging and encourages the cooperation of groups."
  • "Challenging and super fun."
  • "It was my first escape room experience and it was a blast!"
  • "Fantastic experience trying to save the world from mutant dinosaurs!"
  • "The room itself was incredible and we loved that we were able to really challenge ourselves before receiving clues!"
  • "The games were lots of fun and pretty long, well worth the money."
  • "The submarine puzzle room had great details."

Cons:

  • "I felt that the storyline of the Clocktower didn't make as much sense to us."
  • "It was a little crowded at times, however, we managed."
  • "The little computer game that was incorporated began to feel repetitive and slow at one point."
  • "Some of the essential items were missing."
  • "One thing i however didn't like is how there is a major fee to get the room to ourselves, like you would get at a pretty much a normal escape room. You basically pay extra for the room capacity."
  • "The puzzles are so linear and must be done one at a time. Nothing felt rewarding and the set wasn’t inviting."
  • "Compared to other escape rooms in the city this one is on the weak side in my opinion."

Clue Masters & Staff

Pros:

  • "Drea made the experience great to set us up and the beginning."
  • "Our cluemaster Sileye was great at helping us when we got stuck with was quite a lot."
  • "Luke was a great guide and extremely helpful with clues during the game."
  • "big thanks to Clue Master CJ for being super fun and helpful today."
  • "Clara or Clair she was awesome and super patient with us."
  • "The Cluemaster John was extremely cool and helpful and he ENSURED that we won."
  • "@Greer D was the best clue master."

Cons:

  • "Save your money & do something else in the city, this establishment does not care about its guests."
  • "I’ve had some great experiences here but more recently had a game master who I felt wasn’t paying close attention to our group!"
  • "We were left in the room without any hints and were completely lost."
  • "Had to leave early because of inattentive staff & poor service."
  • "We started game little late because no one was taking care of us until the game start time."
  • "I also wish the staff had a little more energy and helped you buy into the cheesiness of it all."
  • "I don't know why this place has great reviews, to be honest. Clues were disconnected, chaotic, didn't make sense, very quirky."

Recommendations & Repeat Visits

Pros:

  • "Would definitely try this again"
  • "I highly recommend coming here with friends or family!"
  • "I would definitely recommend and we would love to come back in the future!"
  • "High recommend coming here."
  • "Highly recommend and will def be back to try the other rooms!"
  • "We’ll definitely be back again to try the other rooms."
  • "I’m definitely going back. Buy that ticket absolutely worth it."

Cons:

  • "They did not incentivize for a 5 star review if my memory serves me correct otherwise I would remove a star."
  • "The Jurassic room had a bit of an anticlimactic ending - and not much dinosaur references."
  • "I found this one to be a little too easy and not very well-maintained."
  • "If you're looking for a more updated escape room make a trip to The Escape Game NYC."
  • "Did the “outbreak” several days ago. Game froze multiple times. Didn’t really feel like an escape room."
  • "They had 4 rooms available at 810. We were hoping to do it alone... They declined."
  • "I would say the clues were pretty decent, although one of them was almost impossible to get."
