Amazing room, especially for anyone who enjoys theatre. There were several puzzles I had never seen before and I really enjoyed. There was one puzzle we got stuck on for a long time - we had the right idea, but there was one small caveat we kept missing, which wasn’t the easiest to understand based on the puzzle. After getting a nudge it was obvious what the solution was and I can see how we should’ve gotten there. The puzzles were all really interesting and unique. MyssTic definitely puts an emphasis into unique stories and immersion and it shows! I would recommend their rooms to anyone visiting NYC in a heartbeat.

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.

Gameplay

There were a lot of really unique puzzles that were very fun, especially if you like theater (and definitely if you’re used to working backstage)

A great room for two people, or 3 to 4 inexperienced escapers. Not too easy, but not too difficult, everything was very logical but still fun to figure out.

A mixture. There were still several mechanical locks, but a lot of really cool technical moments

Not too hard for kids. Particularly if they like theater they’d like this room.

There were a couple puzzles heavily based on color. Most of the doorways were pretty wide. It was dark in many places but they did allow and encourage use of flashlights.

Aaand that’s 100 rooms!!!!! This one was great! Very unique. I’ve never done a theater-esque room before. It had a concept that I’ve seen used once before in an escape room. It will never get old haha. The final sequence was very memorable. Second best room at Mysstic.

I absolutely loved this room and would highly recommend starting with this one if you come to MyssTic to play multiple of their experiences. The theming of this room is so well done and I even learned something about the room’s namesake from our incredible game master, Meeka.

Fun story that felt very New York— it’s no wonder this is one of the most highly recommended games in the city. The marquee set piece was a highlight of the entire location. That said, this room really suffered from poor lighting in some areas.

Tough for our group of two, but one of us had poor eyesight and wasn’t a very experienced player. The puzzles themselves weren’t frustrating, just a little hard to see.

Broken, maybe not. Two or three puzzles had delayed triggers that caused confusion, but if we had more than two players we probably would have had less trouble getting back on track.

Unique theme: a haunted theater. The story is interesting and the environment fits the story well. Puzzles are largely good. The final sequence is quite memorable. The unique story/theme didn’t quite click with me — this is actually my least favorite of MyssTic’s three rooms. (It’s still quite good though!) 4/5

Great Idea and Story, good decoration, riddles we haven't seen elsewhere. But the objects look used already a lot. GM was good. We liked it, but wondered that there are just a few really good rooms in NY.
