Customers can expect a couple jumps, and creepy moments aboard this haunted room! This room is not overly freaky but will give you a few adrenaline rushes! This Escape Room features an actual running train car that will not disappoint! In 1904 when August Belmont Jr built the NY Subway station at Astor Place it was top of the line! One night around 1am Belmont fired up his private subway car called the Mineola and headed down the tunnel. Hours later when the train came back it was traveling at a high speed and plunged into the wall at the end of the tunnel. However, no body was ever found in the wreckage. It was rumored that he was deep into gambling debt. Belmont had accrued a fortune and had it all locked away in a vault that could only be entered with a one of a kind key. it is believed he took his vault key to hide it somewhere in the tunnel the night the train crashed. Every night at 1am a ghost train arrives to make the same trip as in did in 1906 when Belmont vanished. Many have boarded the ghost train over the years, but none have ever returned. If you arrive at the underground Astor Place platform just before 1am the ghost train will arrive and you can board. This is a live or die trying situation, so come aboard if you dare to get the key and return to claim the Belmont wealth.

Gameplay was super unique and required a lot of thinking, definitely do not want to overthink it too much. I enjoyed the special effects a lot.

I hate to give bad reviews on rooms. We did not escape, nor did we expect to, considering a 5-8% escape rate. But here is why the negative review. A few puzzles in this room are very time consuming, which is less about solving the puzzle and more just spending a really long time solving something. You know the info you need, you just can’t get the info quickly, no matter what you do. If you mess up, you have to review all the info again. I would guess that’s the number one cause for not escaping. So less about brains and puzzle solving, and more your ability to quickly do math. Add to that, on one of those puzzles, the info was duplicated and we didn’t immediately catch that. So we were using ALL the info given, when we only needed half. I hope that’s cryptic enough to not give anything away. We have done 60+ rooms, and haven’t escaped just 2 others. Right before this room, we set the record at another place in their hardest room. So we’re not terrible. But this room didn’t feel stellar to us. Feel free to disagree! These are our thoughts. :)
