The escape rooms are awesome! Had a great time with the depths room and we liked it so much we ended up doing a second one, the timeliner. Definitely recommend this place for a fun night out!

The rooms were amazing quality and the staff were SO nice! We stopped here while we were visiting from our of state, but I wish we had one of these at home as well. It was absolutely worth the money, and if we find ourselves back in NYC we would definitely be back. Thank you for a great night!

Matt M. was the PERFECT game guide! We had a blast in the Only Murders in the Building room. We had to think out of the box and had a blast! 10/10 cannot recommend enough!

My friends and I booked a last minute room on Halloween and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Anthony was amazing and helpful throughout the experience and we had a great time playing the Timeliner room. This was the perfect activity for a chill night out and we will definitely come back again!

Did the OMITB escape room for my birthday with a group of girlfriends and we loved it! Our game guide, Drea, was awesome - very fun and enthusiastic, and when we requested clues, she gave us just what we needed to keep going. I've done 10+ escape rooms and this one was by far one of the best. The production quality is amazing - highly recommend!

Cool room, pretty intricate and combines many types of riddles and challenges. A 10/10 location. Sierra balanced amazingly giving hints vs letting us sweat. Recommend.

This place is amazing. Super kind staff and intricate rooms with lots of puzzles. The prison escape at a 9/10 difficulty is their hardest room and definitely worth the try. We came out with 4 minutes to spare and felt so accomplished. The Special Ops and limited-time OMITB room were also good challenges but definitely went quicker than the prison room. Also they wrote me this adorable happy birthday card while I was in the room and it was so sweet!! Recommend 10/10 and get the Groupon deal for your group for a nice discount!

This was my first escape room and I was skeptical at first but I ended up having an amazing time. My son has played some with different companies but said this one was the best he has ever played. I highly recommend coming here if you are into puzzles, especially to escape the summer heat. The rooms are beautifully made and very engaging. I was very impressed with how well everything was designed. Thank you to Alec, Raelin, and Vinny for helping us every step of the way.

We played the Only Murders in the Building room and we had a blast! The rooms were beautiful, so immersive, and the puzzles were very unique. I highly recommended if you are looking for a fun challenge. The staff were also SOOO incredible. Everyone we came across was so kind and attentive. We couldn’t have done it without our fabulous game guides: Alec and Raelin who gave such helpful clues and got us through! Thank you also to Vinny in the lobby for helping us out with our merch and reservation details!!:) We had such a great experience and we can’t wait to come back and tackle more rooms together!

Incredible escape rooms in every regard (production value, complexity, intuitive, fun)!!! The staff are amazing and the price is just right! Came into town for the weekend and ended up doing 6 rooms in 2 days. Out of the dozens (possibly hundreds) of escape rooms I’ve done, these 6 rooms were all in my top 10 of all time!! Highly recommend!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my group be playing with others?

While most games are private (your group only), others may join your game if all the spots aren’t booked. “Shared” games are most common on weekends, holidays, and during our busiest times. In “shared” games, teams get to work together, get extra help, meet new people, and sometimes come away with long-time friendships (seriously, it happens more than you’d think). But if you are in an experience with others and don’t have a stellar time, let us know, and we’ll make it right.

How many guests can fit in a room?

Playground: 0-12 Only Murders in the Building: 0-8 Gold Rush: 0-8 Special Ops Mysterious Market: 0-8 The Depths: 0-8 Prison Break: 0-8 Timeliner Train Through Time: 0-8

Am I really locked in?

Nope! You can step out of the game anytime you need to.

What games are located at Midtown Manhattan
