Loved the theme and story. Was really fun and unique.

We got stumped on how to start and begrudgingly had to ask for a clue and when we realized what to do we could have kicked ourselves!

Enjoyed the overall production quality of each room. Even if the puzzles weren’t too hard, I really enjoyed the look and feel of each room. Did feel technologically futuristic as it should be in a Time Machine!
Great production value overall

I liked this one more than I thought it would! It could’ve been more challenging overall (though there was one part that had us very stumped) but the tech on it was REALLY cool. Definitely recommend!!

Straightforward and easy, probably a good introduction to escape rooms. The storyline could use some work.

Story: 9/10 Theming: 8.5/10 Puzzles: 7/10 Bathroom: 7/10 We always have high expectations for the Escape Game and Timeliner didn't let us down! Very solid room. It was a nice mix of tech and physical props. There were some puzzles which we hadnt seen before and they definitely made us think. The only critique I would give is that I wish the intro video sound was a bit louder. Very minor. Great room and had a fun time!
Everyone was so nice and we love talking to the staff about all their other rooms in different locations. They're always very knowledgeable.

It is downstairs, but there is an elevator!

The scaffolding makes it hard to find if you don't know where it is. Unless you're looking for it, you'd walk right by it

It's downtown NYC. No parking at all

Definitely one of the locations and rooms I would recommend to others. It was so exciting seeing what each puzzle we solved lead to!

This is a mostly high tech electronic room. The room has a narrative which takes you on a journey. Although the concept of the room was interesting and everything worked, this room was not engaging to us. It felt like we were just going through the motions of doing the puzzles systematically without much stimulation.

The escape game rooms have been significantly declining as they release new gamers. Timeliner may be the worst of them all. Everything is becoming cookie cutter and fake looking and the immersion is not there like in gold rush and prison break which are awesome. I hope they improve and stop making such easily replicable games so they can install them at their other locations faster and cheaper to just make money.

Decent room. The puzzles were reasonably novel. Story and environment weren’t particularly amazing but if you’re around and have already done their other rooms, I’d tack this one on.

I really wouldn’t do it with more than 2. The room is relatively small and there aren’t enough parallelizable tasks for more people.
