The 19 best escape rooms in Brooklyn & Queens

“My first game in NY! Super surprised that Soul Escape does not have more attention and reviews on the platform because this game was amazing! Story was clean and intriguing, actors were incredible and puzzles were engaging and challenging! The scare factor of this room is pretty high given that there are live actors and a low light level throughout the experience. This is also a place where if an actor “catches you” you are out of the game, so do be ready to run when the time comes…and it will. Will have to make another trip out here whenever I am back in town!”

“Very elaborate, high-tech set. Sticks to the theme well. Puzzles make sense in the context of the story. Some neat physical elements to the set. I’m surprised this company isn’t more popular — it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the nyc area 5/5”

“I would definitely recommend this to others. It wasn’t my favorite theme, personally, but that’s just me not being a fan a creepy. It was very well done and not like many of the other rooms we’ve done. It wasn’t difficult but it was very fun!!”

“This was one of the more unique rooms I have completed! The puzzles were amazing and very interactive. We were all working on different things and none of us were ever bored! It was a completely immersive experience! I can’t wait to try the other rooms!”

“We had a great time with this! The theming was really cool, and though it was mainly a lot of locks, the puzzles to solve them were super fun! The only thing I’ll say is the end was kind of lackluster in comparison to the buildup we were getting. But even still, an awesome room! Easily done with 2 people who’ve played a lot of rooms, at most 4!”

“I’ve played Beat the Bomb twice, and ended up covered in paint twice. It’s more frantic than a regular escape room, and I definitely recommend stretching beforehand, particularly if you are like me and your limbo game is weak.”

“This was my final room I needed to under The Escape Game brand for at least all of NYC and North Jersey! It was a great way to end. This room was an extremely well balanced room, with puzzles that can be accomplished simultaneously so you don’t necessarily feel left out of anything. I was particularly fond of the puzzles in the latter half, which I of course won’t spoil. But it was a great mix of traditional lock and key, as well as some nifty room spanning team work. And the finale is very video game-y in its conception and very fun’”

“I really loved this escape room for the nostalgia, interactiveness, and storyline. Compared to other escape rooms I’ve done, this one feels more immersive, and has a child like feel. Since I’ve done 70 escape rooms at this point, every puzzle felt similar to previous puzzles that I’ve done in the past, but for more novice players it will likely feel more unique/challenging. This room is also nice if you want to do it with a larger group. There’s a lot of room to move and it’s non-linear.”

“Loved this room!! Just as good as all other escape game rooms. However there is one particular puzzle in this room that technically can be done with 2 ppl but it’s MUCH harder and will take a lot longer than if playing with 3-4 ppl - I would recommend playing this room with at least 3 ppl because of this.”

“This is probably Mysstic’s weakest room but it’s still above average in comparison to escape rooms at other places. Loved the Stranger Things theming. It’s quite easy difficulty-wise. There was one puzzle that we overthought and had a “duh, obviously” moment after asking for a hint. Parker ran our game today. She was awesome!”

“This was such a cool escape room. If you like theater, especially if you like backstage, you will really enjoy this room. If you could take or leave theater but enjoy escape rooms, this one had some really cool and creative elements that you’ll enjoy. It wasn’t too easy, but not too difficult either. I wouldn’t play this room with more than 4 players. It was perfect for 2 experienced players.”

“A fantastic room. Must try when in ny. Every puzzle made sense. Unique puzzles. Only a couple of key locks and number locks. The rest were fun interactive activatable locks. Good lighting. Good vibes. 10/10”
