The Dig: Tasked with unraveling an ancient mystery, we channeled the spirt of Indiana Jones to make our escape. Pros: The set design in this room was beyond excellent creating a fun, immersive escape room experience. The game master was enthusiastic and went above and beyond in her quest to make our experience a memorable one. The storyline was simple but sufficient. We struggled with some of the puzzles but found them generally logical and solvable. Cons: A few of the puzzles had some issues in design that created difficulties at time. Using bolder colors and visual markers to help players make links between puzzle elements could help clarify the process. A few overly convoluted puzzles also slowed our progress and required game-master intervention. We applaud Escape the Room NYC for setting a high standard and going above and beyond in set design. Nice work!

We really enjoyed the game. Besides the several tech issues we had we enjoyed the story and the atmosphere. The staff are great.

This Dig was amazing! Lots of turning of events that kept you on your toes. I do with there was a bit more light in the first room, but other than that. Such an amazing room. Design was fantastic, and puzzles were great!
Fantastic Design!

One of the harder escape rooms I’ve completed, and we would not have arrived at many solutions without hints…and the hints we received involved full diagrams in ways we could have arrived at, but given much more time. I don’t normally recommend bringing more players, but this one would benefit from at least 3 or 4 people as there are particular aspects to some puzzles that would be helpful to assign to specific people while other people work elsewhere. The decor of this room is super well done, and it’s surprisingly large! My partner was very frustrated by this room to the point of not enjoying it as much, but I didn’t mind nearly as much as he did Our game master Greer was great!

Game aside, hints were only visible from the front room, which meant a lot of backtracking to get help.

Very accommodating staff fit us in as a team of two with a phone call for a game within 30 minutes. The Dig starts off small but expands as you go. Easy to get caught up in the start setting and some final puzzles in plain sight. A room that builds in story, setting, and puzzle variety as you go.

This room is decently themed, but has puzzles that really take some leaps of logic and connection. One of the better rooms at this company, but like my other reviews for them, I just can’t support them after watching the way the Owner treated their employees. Go check out Mission Escape, Exit Escape or The Escape Game instead.
Great Game Master, horrible owner.
