Definitely one of the locations and rooms I would recommend to others. It was so exciting seeing what each puzzle we solved lead to!

Very unique gameplay - fun, but easy difficulty

This is a mostly high tech electronic room. The room has a narrative which takes you on a journey. Although the concept of the room was interesting and everything worked, this room was not engaging to us. It felt like we were just going through the motions of doing the puzzles systematically without much stimulation.

The escape game rooms have been significantly declining as they release new gamers. Timeliner may be the worst of them all. Everything is becoming cookie cutter and fake looking and the immersion is not there like in gold rush and prison break which are awesome. I hope they improve and stop making such easily replicable games so they can install them at their other locations faster and cheaper to just make money.

Decent room. The puzzles were reasonably novel. Story and environment weren’t particularly amazing but if you’re around and have already done their other rooms, I’d tack this one on.

The Escape Game has the cleanest games and Timeliner was no exception. I think it was hyped up so much for me that it fell short of expectations in comparison to the other rooms. It does feel like they used every inch of space for either set or puzzle (and to that I say, amen). My favorite TEG rooms in order: Playground, Prison Break, Special Ops/Gold Rush (tie), Heist, The Depths/Timeliner (but they’re all amazing and all should be played!!!!!)!

Awesome and very unique theme, very smooth technology that was integrated really well with the room, and some cool puzzles

Best. Game. Ever. Been on my list of games I wanted to play for ages, WELL worth the wait in my opinion.

Timeliner is a crazy fun concept! A train that travels through time! We were sold on the description alone and the room delivered! I loved the concept of gathering tickets to jump to different time periods and solve puzzles related to the era. There is a bit of quantity over quality. There is a bunch of time travel, but the room flow is linear and only a few eras are expanded upon. I also would have loved to see Butterfly Effect shenanigans. All things considered, I still loved every minute and would board a real Timeliner to travel back and do it all over again! Wendell was a great GM! Highly recommend this for anyone in NY or at any of the locations this room is stationed in! All aboard!

“The Escape Game” has some of the highest quality escape rooms I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing! Timeliner is still a very good room, but feels less grand in scope compared to the other rooms I’ve done here. This one at least feels tight, and like an effort to use every last bit of square footage in the facility to create rooms (which I can support to be honest) But the story is clever in how it ties together very disparate themes together. It results in a more linear experience though, so there isn’t much use to dividing and conquering. You have to follow the flow Like I said, it’s a very good room! And I don’t want to give anything away. But by comparison I think Gold Rush, Heist, and Prison Break are all superior (and more challenging)
