When we first planned the trip to NYC, this new-ish room was a maybe on our list. Eventually we agreed to give it a shot just because people were talking about it. We booked the second room almost immediately after completing this one. From the moment you walk into the space, things are designed to get you immersed into the story. The introduction to the game is done so much more creatively than just a standard video and really helps getting into the zone. Lots of places try to do the "different story endings", this is probably the first place where we would play it again. There's two main paths that have separate puzzles to complete - we really enjoyed the one we got. The actor did an incredible job, the use of a narrator enhanced the experience, and offering little "achievements" you could earn throughout the game really got us invested. We'd do it at least once more. Do this room. Then do the second chapter. These are great.
Great puzzles. Great progression.
Very immersive, detailed set design.
Great actors and staff at this location.

Branching narrative that actually works. Creates a scenario where you actually get to make a big choice that feels impactful.

We walked here from the subway and it was only about an 10 minute walk from the station.
