Reviews
First time here and it was absolutely the best time! Customer service excellent and reasonable prices! A lot of fun.
What a wonderful time. Star was a fabulous game master. She got us excited to be there when we arrived and stuck with us throughout. She was just as excited for us when we finished. Perfect person for this job. Thank you Star.
Star was the best game master! She helped us when we were completely stuck and made the experience fun and funny! Loved the pirate ship room, we will be back!
Neil, Jessie and Audrey were awesome and so patient! I wish we could of paid to extend our time another 15mins. We were beat by the clock. :( I totally recommend it for families with elementary children!
Pablo was our game master he was absolutely amazing. He made the birthday experience for my friend so fun. We will definitely be returning for future birthday.
We played Heist and it was an amazing game. Star, the game master had been amazing, cheerful and welcoming. And she gave the clues immediately, and was continuously supporting us. Super fun.
Star was a great leader and we had the best time. We also were the first group (all women) to get out of the escape room! This was my first experience and so much fun! Thanks!
Smaller rooms than dedicated escape room locations but very good for being in a mall. There’s plenty of great puzzles within the room to work through regardless of the space and the puzzles themselves can be quite challenging. Definitely would recommend trying if you enjoy escape rooms
This was loads of fun! We were close to getting out but the timer ran out. This is un acceptable!!! We will definitely be back to conquer this room as well as the others. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating to my fiance's disability.
I'm giving 3 stars because my rating for this place is just fair. When I go to places like this, I look for the little things that make them feel extraordinary and special, something that takes the experience and really makes it feel like it's over the top. I just felt like those little things were lacking. I found myself feeling both overwhelmed by the amount of things to solve and underwhelmed by how to solve them. There were too many things to solve, not enough time to solve them, and not much creativity used to craft the majority of the puzzles. Almost all of the puzzles were just solved by using textual information and brain teasers to open lock combinations. There were, however, 2 puzzles that I thought were fun and a bit more interactive. However, I can't justify giving this place more than 3 stars when a 45 minute room that was very tiny and a bit underwhelming cost $170 for just 3 people to use privately. Especially when places like Project Escape exist and are almost half the price of this one. If you're looking for an amazing experience, checkout Project Escape's Wizard themed room. All In Adventures needs to take notes from them if they wish to raise their standards.
If you’re looking for a thrilling escape room experience WORTH the price, do NOT go here. The rooms are just filled with a bunch of lock and key puzzles. The price of $50 per person is completely UNJUSTIFIABLE given the lack of depth, storyline, creativity, and genuine fun in the room. Me and 1 other person were able to get out from a level 6-7 difficulty room with 30 MIN LEFT. I left this room wishing I booked from a different place and we regretted spending in total $100 for one of the most boring rooms ever. Please safe your money and go somewhere else for this insanely overpriced rate!!
My boyfriend & I recently visited Tidal Force VR, and we had an amazing time.From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain how everything worked and made sure I felt comfortable in the VR world. We played the shooting game and the escape room, which were both exciting to play.The quality of the VR equipment was top-notch. The headsets were comfortable, and the graphics were stunningly realistic. I quickly forgot I was in a virtual world – it felt that real! Definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to find something fun to do in the city!
This is AMAZING! At first it looks kinda small (that's what she said) but when you start playing the games it's so cool!!! And this ain't something you can do on a regular oculus, this is something where u can actually walk around and fight drones and bully your mom for not knowing how the buttons work. The guy there was very nice and the headsets were comfy and everything about it was perfect!!!
Had a great time running The Heist! Definitely one of the best ones you can pick, each room was filled with puzzles that were actually interesting and satisfying to solve. The pacing was well done and challenging, the connections between each important item were fun to find and exciting. Huge shoutouts to the staff! Keke was our guide, she brought great energy that set us up for success and she helped us along the way with really well timed hints! All in all a wonderful experience, looking forward to next time!
so much fun, room was so cool, workers were even more cool, 10 out of 5 stars!! If you’re looking for an escape room with multiple rooms this is the place to go.
Had a great time here. The room we picked was so fun and pretty tricky. Everything was explained well to us by the employees and whenever we needed help with something, they did it with no problem. Super clean facility. Definitely will be back with our friends soon!
Great experience!! We did the candy room and surpassed all expectations, but made it out just in time! Shay helped our group out with hints when we needed it, and was fantastic guiding us through the story. Can’t wait to try the next room :)
Experience was amazing. The group i went with came into this completely blind and unaware of the difficulty levels. We chose the hardest puzzle and had a beautiful time using our brains to solve it only completing it with 29 seconds left. Matt was a great host he was lovable, huggable, approachable, and has a cute smile. His clues were amazing and helped a ton. Wonderful experience and would love to have Matt as our host again. Love you my guy!
May was an excellent game master! My family had so much fun. We only got through 50% of the game before we ran out of time and will definitely be coming back!
This room was absolutely terrible. My mom and I did the serial doctor, it was her first time doing an escape room and she couldn't be more let down. There was no story told before hand, no opening clue. Nothing. The dates and names in the first room made no sense and serve no purpose, you couldn't see the locks because of how bad the glare was. There was no sound or anything it wasn't scary in the slightest. The second room was just as bad, the things you have to do to solve the codes are so stupid and make little to no sense. If I could rate lower I would. Do not recommend. There is a plus the staff was very friendly and willing to help. Other than that I wouldn't recommend this room at all. There are far better options out there.
Jess and Megan were great hosts and helped us with great clues! So much family fun cool atmosphere and decor
Was hesitant at first to drop $130 for the four of us but it was completely worth it. Audrey and Neil were friendly and helpful. They explained how the game would go and prepared us completely. My 8 and 11 year olds had a blast. The whole family worked together and there was enough for each of us to do to be helpful in solving the room. We did a “hard level 1” (Black Ops) and we definitely used both our “phone a friend” clues (aka the attendants come in and help for a few seconds) BUT we completed the room!! Will definitely come back!
This was easily the greatest experience me and my 8 children have ever had. I am a single mother, and being able to give them a time to work collaboratively for once rather than hating each other was truly special. I hope I’ll see the game master, Joel again one day, he would be a great father as well. If you have kids bring them here!
Fun times! John was super polite and helped us on our way. The puzzles were complex but easy enough to figure out with some time. Bring a flashlight if you have troible reading small print 😁🤣
We did sugar rush as a party of two, it was so much fun! Highlights:
* unique puzzles - even though we’ve done maybe 30 escape rooms, there were new types of puzzles we haven’t seen before!
* well priced
* private games
* the puzzles were all interesting - no time-consuming gimmicks like counting
* good lighting
* great game master - gave a clue when we needed it without giving things away unnecessarily
* Walkie talkies for clues, instead of a screen - less misunderstandings and you can ask for clarification
Will totally be back again!

When we originally walked in we couldn’t imagine doing a full hour but ended up having so much fun! Jen was extremely helpful and guided us through the whole thing. Not only was she super informative but she was also such a joy and rooted us on plus gave us many tips and tricks on how to throw better. We had a great time 😊
Wow!!! I had no idea what to expect. I ended up having soooo much fun!! Thanks to Clara for being a great host and guide!
Loved it! We did the High Speed NYC game and it was a blast! Loved the layout and puzzles. Waiting area was also really nice and I liked the puzzles they had there as well. The service was also great and the employees were very friendly. 10/10 would go again
Very well organized place with detailed puzzles. I signed up for the Pierson's Mansion without knowing that it was the hardest of the rooms at the location. I got through a good chunk of the puzzles but unfortunately did not escape. Next time, I think I will start with one of the easier rooms.
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was clean. The decorations are fun and they have a lot of options for photos afterward. They gave good clues when we asked. The puzzles are challenging but solvable. It feels good when you solve one and get to the next step.
My one request is that the puzzle room difficulty should be listed on the website so people know what the difficulty is for the room they are selecting. The difficulty is listed on the door to each room but I could not find it anywhere online.
I will definitely be back!

CJ was a great host! This was our 1st escape room & we had an amazing time! Would come back again for more!
I went today with my 4 kids and their was this staff named Russel and he was a big help. My kids were a little disappointed because they thought it was gonna be a bigger room however He made the experience way better than what it was. He needs a raise for dealing with me and my kids lol 😂. Definitely will be coming back !!!!.
My husband and I came for date night and did 2 rooms - sugar rush and high speed train! Both were very fun and doable with just 2 people and we escaped both. I think 2-4 people is a good size.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We played it as a family of four with our teenagers aged 13 & 15.
I was pleasantly surprised by it inside. The staff were brilliant and professional. We played a game called the playground, 6/10 difficulty rating. It was still quite hard for us but we got lots of clues along the way. We managed to escape also. All in all. Lots of fun. You’ll need to book a game and you’ll maybe get assigned with other people also as they’re quite large games.

Excellent escape room experience! We did both the Gold Rush and the Special Ops and both are awesome! All the rooms are well decorated to make you feel immersed. The games are well thought and super fun. Some of them are challenging but you do feel great solving them. We all had a wonderful time. Our game assistant Kate was awesome and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Will definitely come back again! Highly recommended!
Kyle was awesome! We had a great day date here. Only thing is I wish they played music because it was quiet in there with just us.
Kyle was wonderful! Taught my son some techniques on axe throwing. Kyle was very helpful and welcoming! My son had a lot of fun. We will be back again!
Overall amazing experience. My boyfriend &' I was there for an hour. The employee working that day was so respectful &' engaged with us the entire time. Made sure we was alright &' provided some helpful tips to hit the target.
We had the best time at Escape the Room! John was a fantastic host, he was super friendly and helped us out when we needed it and gave us hints. The rooms are the perfect balance of challenging and fun and the themes are really well done. Thank you John for making it such a positive experience!
My boyfriend and I booked a room as a date night, and it was so much fun! D was our escape room master, and provided a few helpful hints as needed without ever giving anything away. D had great energy throughout, and overall we had a really good time!
Overall it was good. I did the science lab room, it was interesting. I would definitely recommend going with less than 6 people, best is probably 2-3, maximum 4. There is not that many things that people can work on at the same time so, that's why it's better to have fewer people. The puzzles were good, some of them felt too easy, some others felt like I would have never guessed this one, so there is a wide mix of things. The game master was nice, he gave us a few clues, probably we could've gotten out without most of them too if we had more than 1 hour available.
I almost escaped. ☠️ My 15 year old brother and I attempted Prison Break, we were the only two. It was so much fun! We had a blast, and all the employees were awesome. I would highly recommend stopping by here if you have an hour or so and want to have fun!
Fun date night idea! Came here and did the Special Agent room. Audrey was super helpful in assisting us with instructions when we got there & clues when we needed some help. Would highly recommend & can’t wait to come back soon!
Great staff, exciting atmosphere and awesome experience! We tried Prison Break which was crazy ambitious as it was our first ever escape room attempt. We didn’t escape but we had a lot of fun regardless. Shout out to Bernadette, our guide, for her special touch to celebrate our anniversary/birthday occasions! We would definitely come back and bring friends and family to try the other escape games. It was really cool and everything in the rooms were in great working order (nothing broken or scuzzy to make it more difficult to solve on your own). Thanks for a great time!
A 13 year old girl and her 49 year old Dad (me) signed up for an hour at Tidal Force VR on a recent trip to NYC, and we had a blast! We've played some VR games before, but this was definitely the most immersive.
The location is in a normal looking NYC building (look for the small sign next to the door). Inside the studio it's pretty sparse, but once you put on the headset it's amazing. For our games we didn't need a backpack...just a headset and a controller for each hand. The headset isn't wired to anything, it's wireless (haven't done that before). We had at least a 10' x 10' area to move freely around in (or at least it felt that large, much larger than other VR we've done). And it was amazing how we could see each other in full body spacesuits moving around (appreciated my daughter's victory dance!) We played one cooperative game and one "vs." game (I won the first match, and...well...let's not talk about the other ones).
If you're looking for a fun activity with friends, co-workers or your teenager. Tidal Force VR is highly recommended!

Overall a fun experience, but there were a few things that made the room escape less than stellar. One of the locks didn't work (they stopped the time for us) and the rooms were open at the top so we could hear the people next to us. Thankfully there weren't too many people there so we weren't distracted but I could see that being an issue if it was busier. Also in general the room we did had puzzles that you could only work on one at a time, which made it a little more difficult for a large group like ours to have everyone involved. But the staff were really nice and helpful so that made it a better experience for us. They also took time to explain how each type of lock worked beforehand, which was real nice!
Had an awesome time. Great staff. Alexander was our game master and was very kind, patient and good at explaining all of the rules & tips. We did Alcatraz and the puzzles were difficult enough to be challenging but easy enough that they can be solved. I would go here again to try other rooms.
So today we did "The Heist" which was quite amazing. The difficulty level was 7/10 for me. Would not have been able to complete on my own. We were joined by an awesome group of 5. "Happy Birthday Keke !!"
I went on August 4 with my friend and an employee named Brandon was nothing but great to us. He was very friendly, very inviting and funny as well. I definitely recommended this place to all my friends to make another visit because of his great personality. Having him as a host was definitely the highlight of our night.
Did the hardest room (Prey) with friends. All we needed was a minute more to have fully escaped. Although unsuccessful, the puzzle was detailed and entertaining.
We did Sugar Rush and it was really fun! You get to use all of your senses which is unique. Plus you get to eat your cupcake at the end. It was very doable for 2 players. The puzzles were linear and with the exception of maybe 2 were straightforward. Highly recommend for a good time!
My 12 year old son celebrated his birthday with a group of friends and had a blast. It's hard to find the perfect thing to do as they get older and this was the perfect fit. My son and his friends game online all the time and this was a new and exciting way for them to game together. I couldn't recommend it more. The team at Tidal were great and gave the kids a great experience. Thank you!
We did The Heist and really liked that we are trying to outwit criminals. The rooms are very well set up with very nice props and decor, clean, and interesting. Puzzles really good and extremely fun. Unlimited clues provide as much help when needed. But big part of the fun are the staff and really friendly game masters. We will come back and try more rooms for sure.
This venue was great. The rooms were really fun! I particularly enjoyed the subway room and the cupcake room. The subway room was probably my favorite, the cupcake room the most unique room I’ve ever played (26 rooms total so far). Will be coming back to do the rest of these rooms before finishing my vacation in New York! The staff was really nice too. Highly recommend!
This was such a great company! We did Sugar Rush which was such a fun room, and we reserved High Speed NYC right after it cause of rave reviews. TJ was a great game master getting us into their last spot of the night for our second game and helping us in the room. Highly recommend!
We had a great time as 8 adults solving a potential murder in the room. Good puzzles, fun clues, etc. it was a riot of an hour and I can’t wait to go again!
Super fun, immersive experience. We went with our two kids - 13 and 11 - to take out the drones and then do a little 2 v 2. While I needed a few tips from the kids, we all had a blast and are looking at when we can come back for the escape room. The 40 min session seemed much longer and was just the right length for us.
Always a great time here. Have done multiple rooms and they’ve all been executed amazingly. Our clue host Drea was amazing!
We took my son and two of his friends for his 10th birthday, and it was their first escape room experience, and they loved it! It was so great to see them working together, trying to solve the clues! So much fun and we would definitely come back. the staff is super helpful and so nice, we highly recommend it! By the way, the young boys were 10 years old and they escaped Alcatraz escape room, was easy enough and difficult enough for them to do with the help of two parents.
Very interactive and I love how we can ask for hints and have someone keeping watch. The room I did was the depths and it was very cool. Unfortunately i couldn't escape in time but it was a very nice experience!! The staff was very nice and we got the room to ourselves.
We've been to a few escape rooms recently, but unfortunately this was our least favorite. We played the Exodus room; the design of the room itself was a little rudimentary, but we did overlook it. There were too many linear clues that ate up a lot of time, and it stalled the progress of our game. There was even one puzzle that we solved correctly, and when given the clue, it only confirmed it. The gamemaster (who was very nice), also confirmed it herself, but the prop being stuck ate up at least 10-15 minutes of our time. I wish that at the very least, we would have been given an extra 10-15 minutes to make up for it. We, unfortunately, will probably not return.
This was a ton of fun. The room was a cleaver set up and it really took some brain power to solve the puzzles. Highly recommend doing this with at least a group of four.
Good place. We were in the candy room. At first set couldn't figure out what they want us to solve🤣 but the staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely will go again.
Amazing! We did The Heist and it was one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever seen. Creative, surprising, and very well made. We loved it so much, we’re coming back tonight to do another!
WORDLE in physical form. Absolutely loved it. I took 3 very jaded 14 yr olds here last night. By the end it was nothing but giggles, shrieks and insistence on “one more time!” Even ended up taking advantage of the 50% promo for our next future booking. Abe nailed it by … well, I won’t spoil the surprise but suffice it say he set the climate almost immediately. And Fred was more than generous with “hints” to help the girls beat the clock (that seemed to have defied time) - Highly recommend it and was not-so-secretly jealous I couldn’t join.
Next time!
Next time!
Honestly fun, will definitely go again. Brandon made me and my guest feel extremely welcome and comfortable. Assisted me if I needed any help. Clean setup and smooth VR setups as well. Clean and tidy and Quiet Area as well. Will recommend to others
The franchise, one of the most renowned in the USA, knows how to be catchy:
-Well-designed games with charming and witty introductory videos, featuring revisited and original themes, different levels of difficulty (considering that we played successfully even with players on their first Escape room experience).
-Public sessions that allow you to meet new people.
-Discount options that encourage you to play again (in fact, we had booked two rooms and ended up doing three).
-The staff is very courteous and friendly, and they made our experience enjoyable (thanks Frankie and Matt).
After more than 250 Escape Rooms, it was definitely a pleasant discovery. If we have time again, we will return!
PS: Spoiler, we came back!

We came here for my son’s 10th birthday. He loved it. Our tour guide was KeyKey. She was great! We’ll be back!!
Best escape rooms I’ve ever been to. Our guide for our room was Nate - he was awesome! The staff is always super nice and helpful, and the games are fun but challenging. We’ll be back soon!
We all had such an awesome time! What a challenge! Something we’d definitely do again! Ellie was great! If it wasn’t for her guidance in the background we’d still be locked in! Lol Thank you for such a cool experience!
Did the superhero room with my 10 year old daughter and her friend. We had a really fun time! The clues were challenging enough for them without being too difficult. They were able to escape and felt great about it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the great time, will definitely return!
My BFF and I have done close to all of the escape rooms in NYC. So, we were really looking forward to new company with different rooms. This was, by far, the worst room we have ever done. Now, we expect things to stump us, that's normal. But, to hear explanations/clues to some of these puzzles. There was absolutely no rhyme or reason in making any sense of it. Also, OME says their rooms are "high tech". This is so off base, and should be considered false advertisement. Everything was janky and cheap and there was NOT one thing to be considered high tech. For example, many of the speakers around the room, were basic computer speakers that you could get from Best Buy for $15-20. There isn't even a timer in the room, and you have to ask your game master how much time you have left. The staff was nice, but we are not returning here. And just to put things in perspective, when ny BFF and I don't make it out of a room, we don't let them tell us the answers because we GO BACK to actually figure it out. This place.....no, we will not be returning unless there is a major redo of all the rooms and some actual "high tech" options are installed. Major disappointment.
P.S. we did the Biohazard room

Our experience here was great! My husband and I booked early online with our Sightseeing Pass, and ended up doing our Prison Break room with another couple instead of the several people we were expecting. It was honestly SUCH a fun experience. The setting was cool, the items and clues were good, the knowledge they expected us to have was exactly reasonable, and it wasn't too scary or spooky. No jump scares or that type of thing. I also noticed all of their items were in fine working order so as not to be distracting, and the hints were reasonable without giving everything away. We did make it out, but with enough struggle that it felt like a real accomplishment. I'm a fan!
The escape we did wasn't particularly accessible, but we didn't have special accessibility needs. The staff was also incredibly kind, so I feel confident they would make every effort to accommodate specific needs in some way if you made them aware in advance.
Also, side note that right now there's construction on the street, and scaffolding almost entirely obscures the sign above the door here. We walked right past it and were almost too late for our time slot!
Over all, our experience here was fantastic. If we were local, we'd definitely be back!

I rarely ever leave reviews on anything but after my experience at this escape room I feel the need to. My group had the most amazing experience thanks to our host Gene. He went out of his way to make sure we had an exceptional experience. He also gave us great recommendations on nearby eats (which we thoroughly enjoyed)! I highly recommend this escape room! Thank you Gene!
We had an absolutely great time our game master was the best helping u with clues when we couldn't figure out something would definitely come back
Let me first say that this rating has nothing to do with the staff at Omescape - they were lovely and made the game as amazing as they could.
I went to the Room X with 5 other friends this Sunday and we played through in about 50 mins (we beat the monthly record for the game). I am a heavy escape game users - I went to ALL Omescape games in the Bay Area, probably went to over 50 escape games across the US, which is why I felt like we would get a high quality game in NYC - especially give how high tech, with great production value, the games out West are. I left feeling very disappointed at the state of Omescape in NYC, and not wanting to come again. Here are some of the issues my group faced (spoilers for room X below):
- A lot of the props were not well kept. I expect a level of wear and tear, but when things fall apart in your hand or you see visible signs of scratches, torn pieces of wallpaper and badly laminated clues, it leads me to believe there's very little care with the upkeep of the room.
- There was almost no technology in the room. In the past, OMESCAPE games have won me over not only because of the clever stories and high quality rooms, but also because of the level of technology involved in building the rooms. This was nonexistent in Room X, where the clues were mostly regular numeric locks, which made for a very repetitive and not immersive experience.
- A lot of the clues were not related to the story, and felt like mindless brainteasers to keep time. They were not especially themed, which really is a bummer given a lot of the escape room experience is immersing yourself in a theme.
- BIGGEST SPOILER, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK: the last 20 minutes of the game spent reading a manual that had all of the answers for the puzzles spelled out - essentially, it felt like a gimmick to make us spend time reading. It also meant there was not much for all of the group to do: only one person was able to maneuver the prop, while everyone else just watched.
All in all, it was a huge disappointment and didn't live up to the Omescape level of quality I was expecting. Maybe if this is your first time going to a game, it's worth it - but I will not be going back. Two stars given because of the staff, who were very nice and led the game as best as they could.

- There was almost no technology in the room. In the past, OMESCAPE games have won me over not only because of the clever stories and high quality rooms, but also because of the level of technology involved in building the rooms. This was nonexistent in Room X, where the clues were mostly regular numeric locks, which made for a very repetitive and not immersive experience.
- A lot of the clues were not related to the story, and felt like mindless brainteasers to keep time. They were not especially themed, which really is a bummer given a lot of the escape room experience is immersing yourself in a theme.
- BIGGEST SPOILER, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK: the last 20 minutes of the game spent reading a manual that had all of the answers for the puzzles spelled out - essentially, it felt like a gimmick to make us spend time reading. It also meant there was not much for all of the group to do: only one person was able to maneuver the prop, while everyone else just watched.
All in all, it was a huge disappointment and didn't live up to the Omescape level of quality I was expecting. Maybe if this is your first time going to a game, it's worth it - but I will not be going back. Two stars given because of the staff, who were very nice and led the game as best as they could.
Smart and helpful staff, fun and engaging rooms, what else more can you ask for? Highly recommend for a fun afternoon or evening in the city.
Had a great time with my co workers. The host Frankie was helpful with hints. We escaped the room Exodus with five minutes left. We are planning another fun night there again real soon.
Spring break! With the mission of keeping my children entertained during the spring break, we visited Exit Escape Room NYC. The employees were very nice and welcoming. There were train issues and they understandably updated our start time and I really really appreciated that! We had so much fun solving the clues in the Train Heist room. We would definitely go again!
Have done about 70 escape rooms but will definitely be avoiding the rest here. Even though it's advertised as "hi tech" it was anything but. We did the biohazard room with a new group and it was one of the worst I've ever done. Basic locks and button pushing, puzzles that weren't even puzzles (pipes in the first room had things written and could be spun but did nothing), had puzzles that could be skipped or guessed, and when we finished, even though it was multiple rooms, there was no feeling of accomplishment. It was just "Oh? That's it?" Just very disappointing room to do and I'm embarrassed I brought people who had never done one before that this was their first experience. The staff were great and the subway puzzle was fun though.
The staff were nice and helpful. The room was nicely themed but nothing fancy. The puzzles were challenging yet solvable. They gave just the right amount of clues at the right time. We had a lot of fun!
Christian really helped me and my brothers enjoy ourselves for their first time doing an escape the room. The best host and so very kind. Really good addition to the team!
Great place for a birthday party! I had lots of fun here and the escape rooms were very well done! Book your room now!!
Brought my husband here for his birthday and had an absolute blast thanks to Sam. By far the best game master we’ve ever had! Made our trip to New York that much better! Thank you so much Sam!
I had the chance to play the escape room with my friends thanks to an accommodation Jerome made. I’m super grateful that he was able to do this for us because we had a really great time! The puzzles made you think and the overall experience was unlike anything I had done before. We actually beat the game which he said only about 20% of teams do. We did only have around 20 seconds left before we ran out of time, but we did it! You really feel immersed in the game. I will definitely be planning to come back to play the co-op game and hopefully more escape rooms in the future! Would definitely recommend.
We visited this place to kick off a birthday celebration for our 16 year old niece.
We did the masquerade room.
Everyone had so much fun everything was very logical one clue lead to the next.
I highly recommend this with kids.
P.s. this place has an emergency exit button which was really helpful to those in our group who had an issue with the idea of being locked in a strange place.

We had a group of 10-12 people come in for the Penitentiary escape room. Gene was a fantastic game host and kept us entertained from start to finish! Highly recommend if you're looking for an escape room in the city.
Had an awesome birthday experience for my best friend here. We did the treasure island escape room and it was lots of fun for our small group. Would recommend highly!
Thank you Mecca and Alyssa for an amazing time!!
We did a birthday party and two rooms! (8) kids in one room/(6) adults in second room…
Teens aren’t interested in “little kid birthday parties but still like a birthday celebration! This hit the mark! 🥳
Staff - friendly, engaging, attentive and supportive yet kept the game challenging!!
Location - very convenient, plenty of parking
Atmosphere - fun and exciting and safe, love the photo wall and props! ❤️
Party room - simple and perfect for our needs, we decorated with our own supplies, brought our own cake, used their supplies for pizza party, refrigerator on-site for supplies cold waters and was able to keep our cake cool ( fondant preservation)
Overall - highly recommend
Keeping this on our list of top things to do! We’ll definitely be back again! 👍🏼

Amazing time here with a group of 9 family members. This is my 2nd time at a escape room and it was awesome. They have 5 rooms here I believe and we chose “wizard” and it was exciting and fun. It gives you 1 hour to complete and we finished with 3 mins remaining. It wasn’t too difficult but not a “walk in the park”.
Jesse- our host was amazing. She gave us good tips that made us work to solve the problem.
I would highly recommend this place if you’re considering trying it!

Overall this place wasn’t good. I’ve done many escape rooms and they are all very fun and if you don’t make it they will explain the way out. The clues didn’t help and they only gave us 2 clue before they completely just stopped helping. After an hour our time ended and I asked how to get out to where the guy said “I’m not too sure”. Came up from Denver for a birthday weekend and decided to do this one of the days and was very disappointing.
This by far was the best Escape room we have ever experienced . Staff was super nice and the room we chose was so fun. This is a must see if you visit Glenwood Springs! Highly recommended for a great, fun, and exciting experience!! We will definitely return!
We did the Serial Dr. and it was so much fun! It was our first time doing an escape room and now I'm trying to plan the next one lol. I was so impressed by how down to earth and inviting the staff was. You can tell they love what they do. It was also super easy to book the appointment online.
We tried to escape from an elevator that was rigged with s bomb and totally failed! We were given 3 clues in the hour we had and we thought we were close but at the end when we were told all the clues we were only halfway done. Very entertaining for 2 young teens and their parents. Great time had by all!
We (2 people) did the Elevator Room. Fun & pretty easy. Finished with 2 clues and 20 min to spare. There was 1 possibly misleading clue involving some math. There was a feature where you could fail - setting the bomb off - and the attendant had to come in to reset it (twice). A good room if it's your first time!
I had my 13th birthday here with a party of 11. 6 people went in the escape room and the others stayed in the gaming area. This place was very cool, funny, and surprising all at the same time. Me, my friends, and family had a wonderful time. Once we solved a riddle it was so exhilarating. I would recommend this for ages of 10+. Though the place could have better decoration and choices for the escape rooms.
I had a blast even though we didn't make it out. It's good way to see how observant you are and how good you are at solving puzzles. I would love to do it again with a larger group of friends. (My friends paid a extra to have a private experience...it was only 3 of us).
I would recommend this place.
