My favorite room at Mission Escape. The soundtrack, the story telling, lights and effects and the sheer amount of puzzles make this room worth every dollar you spend here. Ideally you would tackle this room with at least 3 people but me and my wife finished this with under a minute to spare. As a futurist, this one definitely scratched my high tech itch.

if you’re looking for a game with little logical deduction but lots of object manipulation, you would enjoy this. although, that kind of game is not personally my style, and i’m a little shocked it was a TERPECA nominee.

A very challenging escape room with some neat visual effects and a ton of tech, though there's some cool physical puzzles (no padlocks, though). If you're really experienced with escape rooms, there might not be anything that's immediately unique, but it's a high-quality room for the NYC market. There usually were multiple things to work on at once so it's good for a large group of people.

Very nicely done, high tech room. Not just a room with locks/keys. Good immersion. Lots of puzzles. Good for a medium sized group.

This is a great high tech room. There is more than enough to do, we did it with 2 people and only made it out because the GM gave us an extra 3 minutes! It's possible with 2 people but you have to keep moving! The only negative I would say with this room is that it's too high tech. I like a blend of puzzles, some tech and some mechanical, this room is all high tech. It is done very well, everything worked and the GM was very nice and knowledgeable.

I really enjoyed this room! While it is not the most expansive or over the top room, the intricacy and multitude of puzzles within 60 minutes made this room a lot of fun. For a small group, this was very challenging. There were a lot of puzzles and we had to move pretty quickly to make it all the way to the end.

Gameplay

Personally, my favorite thing about escape rooms are challenging but doable puzzles and this room had so many of them! As an experienced group, we really enjoyed this room and found the flow to be really solid. If you are new to escape rooms, the gameplay of this room may feel more challenging than other options out there.

Atmosphere

The setting was fairly industrial but it made sense for the theme of the room. This room is relatively small and there aren’t an excess amount of rooms to discover.

Customer service

The game master was kind and helped us throughout the room. The digital hint board also worked well. Keep in mind that this particular room has a hint limit of 5 which is different from the unlimited hints at most other locations.

Particularly interesting or different

The dystopian/cyber theme for the room is similar to some themes I’ve done before but the gameplay and puzzles were unique enough to keep my attention.

Story

Even if I’ve seen similar stories before, this was still effective and enjoyable.

Difficulty

Hard

The puzzles themselves weren’t excessively hard BUT the multitude of puzzles within the room would make this game challenging for beginners or small groups. This difficulty level was amplified by the limited number of hints (5) and the fact that there are no writing supplies in the room so memory/communication is imperative.

Game tech

High tech

There were no physical locks in this room.

Ideal number of players

6

The space is large enough for a decent sized group. With our small group, it was challenging but doable to remember long combinations. Additionally, the types of puzzles vary a lot so it would be ideal to have a larger group.

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

12

This room is not scary but the level of difficulty should be taken into consideration before bringing younger participants into this room.

Was anything broken?

Yes

Nothing was necessarily broken but some of the technology didn’t work on our first try. There were a couple of times that we had to input codes multiple times in order to trigger the next stage of the room.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Not at all

At least one member of the party must be able to kneel.

Accessibility

The majority of this game takes place in a decent sized, open space. Some sections of the room are a bit more cramped but for the most part, people with mobility restrictions should be able to participate in this room (understanding that 1+ people in the group must be able to kneel and move within more cramped areas). Additionally, two puzzles used color. At the beginning of this room, there is a sequence of flashing lights BUT before the room began, the game master checked in with us to make sure that we were okay with it. I would assume that this portion of the room could be deactivated in accordance with the participants requests.

Easy to find location

Yes

If you check the email after booking the room, it gives you clear instructions about where to enter and where to go once inside. There aren’t any obvious signs outside of the building.

This escape room runs really smoothly and has a pretty good flow and rhythm to it. I personally am not as huge of a fan of the more cold and industrial setting and look, but the production values are pretty good. At one point, we solved a puzzle too early and it wouldn't trigger until we got further into the room which was frustrating since we thought we did it wrong. Outside of that, it's a pretty good standard escape room with some intuitive puzzles.

This room is very unique, featuring high tech puzzles with great variety and some unique elements. There are a good number of puzzles so even for experienced players, 2 people might not be able to escape in time. We really loved one of the element in the middle of the game that really elevated the level of the setting to the next level. Definitely recommend for players with some experience!

  • The set, lighting, and interaction design were among the finest ... the puzzle play was phenomenal.
