Pay Day Escapes absolutely blew us away. We’ve completed over 100 escape rooms across New England, and this one instantly jumped into our top 3. The level of immersion, set design, and puzzle creativity is top-tier from start to finish. There are multiple things to be working on so it’s not linear which gives it an awesome feel. The puzzles are challenging but fair, flowing together in a way that keeps the whole group locked in and excited. Nothing feels random or filler; everything is intentional and enhances the story. On top of that, the staff is welcoming, energetic, and clearly passionate about creating unforgettable experiences. If you’re an escape room veteran or even a first-timer, Pay Day Escapes is a must-do. It stands out not just in New England, but among the best rooms we’ve ever played. Highly recommended. On top of the escape room, they also have an amazing game space available to rent, filled with board games you can try out. It’s the perfect place to hang out before or after your game, or even host a small event.
