29 escape rooms

An old room that's falling apart. They spent all their time and money on the atmosphere (oh look! our room rattles just like a subway car!) and none on, you know, actual puzzles. Second worst room I've ever played in 300+ rooms. So bad we had another room scheduled and we walked out without playing it. Customer service was horrible. At one point we were asking for a hint and they didn't respond to us for over five minutes. None of the (VERY few) puzzles chain together with any sort of logic. Important signs or labels are faded to nothing, making figuring out next steps impossible. The entire company seems to be dying.

Gameplay

Some of the worst gameplay ever.

Atmosphere

They think a rattling car is all they need for atmosphere. Horrible.

Customer service

Staff was fine at first, but ignored us once we were in the room.

Particularly interesting or different

No

I've had more puzzles in five minutes of good rooms.

Story

What story?

Difficulty

Expert

Impossible as labels were faded or missing and nothing made sense logically.

Game tech

Mechanical

And most of the mechanics didn't work.

Ideal number of players

Zero

Scary

Not scary

What's scary is that this place is still open.

Minimum age

Don't go. But kids won't be scared.

Was anything broken?

Yes

Live actors

No

Physically active

Not at all

Accessibility

There are two long flights of stairs to get to the game. I didn't see any ADA accomadations. I don't think anyone with impairment will be able to play. They are the lucky ones.

Easy to find location

Yes

Parking

It's NYC. There is no parking
