PlaygroundThe Escape Game - New YorkEscape roomIRLVery fun room! None of the puzzles were particularly difficult, but there are a massive amount of them. The shear number of puzzles is what would make this difficult with a small number of players. The Escape Game always fills up spots with strangers and unfortunately the Monday afternoon we chose had 7 people added just before the game started. Their rooms are solid, but the experience is hit or miss due to this. We ended up with a couple people who weren’t all that great with teamwork and had “give me that” personalities, but we still had fun.
Montauk ProjectMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLGreat game with a unique set. Four of us escaped way faster than we wanted to, but that’s likely just luck. MyssTic really does a phenomenal job creating an immersive environment. Such a great experience.
The ArchitectSherlockedEscape roomIRLHad a great time with just two people! It’s a very nice large space. Solvable with two people who have a decent amount of experience. My wife and I went in expecting to utilize clues and prepared to not finish, since we’ve never done anything by ourselves. We were able to solve it with a few clues, however, our time ran out as we were on the last puzzle and our host let us finish, which was really kind of her.
The Clock TowerEscape The Room - ManhattanEscape roomIRLThis would’ve been great if everything were not broken when we went. It’s a really cool room with fun puzzles… if they weren’t all broken. It had to have been at least 25% of the puzzles with issues. We’d ask for clues and we’d keep getting them for things already solved, but the trigger failed. Many things ultimately manually triggered by the host and one of the last clues was “you already solved that, just reach up and behind this thing and pull it out cause it’s supposed to fall” They might have fixed things since I went in 2023, but I was pretty sad with the state of the room.
