I had a really fun time playing "The Heist" with my friends. We didn't escape BUT that's what made it fun for me personally. It was challenging and I definitely would love to take another crack at it and at the other 4 or 5 rooms they currently have set up. Good fun, especially during Covid! The facility was super clean!

We had such a good time. The staff was awesome and the "Escape Room" challenging... but we escaped with 7 seconds to spare. It was a great way to spend quality family time with our 22 & 26 year old sons. Just do it!

Did the Experiment escape room with me and 3 other friends. We barley made it out with 14 seconds to spare. It was very interactive and had amazing,helpful and friendly staff. Only had 1 problem with the room. One of the puzzles did not work at all. We had to get a staff member to come in and fix it. She could not get it to work so she just had to give us the answer. But other than that it was amazing and had great room design

Love these rooms! Our favorites were John Doe and The Experiment, but Detective Story and Outer Space. Fun, interactive rooms with great games. Love that you get private rooms too!

Three generations of our family tried the Detective Story Escape room here and really had a lot of fun. We saved a bit using a Groupon deal, otherwise it would have been a bit expensive, but we had a private room for the six of us, which made the experience more enjoyable. The location is deep in a basement; you'll need to walk down two flights of stairs. The basement location, in a way, sort of adds to the atmosphere.
The backstory for the room was a little thin, but the actual puzzles were enjoyable and just challenging enough for our group, most of whom were beginners. They recommend ages 14 and up for the room, and that's probably a good idea, although we had one 11 year old in our group who enjoyed it. A group of all younger kids, however, might have a difficult time with the puzzles.
Our family had only one escape room veteran, otherwise we were all new to this experience. We ended up needing one hint, but we did manage to "escape" before time was up.
If your looking to do something different with a small group of friends or family this is a great choice.

My family and I are escape room pros. We’ve tried over a dozen rooms (and I humbly add, we’ve escaped from all of them). We did “The Experiment” room here and we had a great time. This was a solid classic escape room. All of the puzzles are solvable. They were hard enough to please us veterans but doable enough not to frustrate the newbies who were with us. There were enough surprises to keep us interested. You enter a plain white room with a pleasing back story and the fun proceeds from there. FYI there are NO live actors in the room with you. The way some reviews are written it makes this seem like a possibility.

HI, I'm a tourist!
And I love to play escaping the room.
I played a lot of games in my country, korea.
I worried about that these games are too difficult to me because of my english skills.
If you think I can play the game,
Could you recommnd the room, please?;)

Hi,
I would definitely recommend our Experiment room for you. This room has more tactile/hands-on puzzles. I would also recommend our Outer Space room. There are some text-type clues in this room but not as many as in the Detective Story or John Doe. It also has many other types of puzzles that you would find fun.
Please let me us know if you have other questions.
Is there a room that is appropriate for just 2 people. Thanks!
Hi Shari,
Thank you for the inquiry. I can recommend The Experiment or Detective Story for two players.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

We are having my daughters 9th birthday party soon at the Leonard street location. Can you recommend a kid friendly restaurant other than pizza where we can make a reservation for lunch after our "escape" We are a party of about 12.
Hi,
There are a lot of great restaurants close to our location.
Here are some I can recommend:
- Bubby’s Tribeca: 120 Hudson St, NY, NY 10013, phone: 212-219-0666
- The Odeon: 145 W Broadway, NY, NY 10013, phone: 212-233-0507
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,

Is this appropriate for a 9-year-old? If not, are any of your games?

I think a nine year old would love it. You might have to "help" him uncover some clues because they are tricky. The John Doe room might not be the best because of the story line. Go with the UFO / alien room and don't be afraid to ask for clues.
