Rikers, 1932

As others have said, this was a very poor escape room. The set design was very good, else I have nothing to recommend it. Game play was completely linear, except you couldn’t know it, as you always had pieces of puzzles that you wouldn’t need for a while. So people spent a lot of time frustrated as they discovered they’d been working on a puzzle for 5+ minutes that was in fact incomplete and impossible to solve. Other complaints are that the rooms had no story connection to each other, 90% of the puzzles were just boring combination locks, and I suppose it’s worth mentioning this was by far the most expensive escape room I’ve ever gone to! I don’t understand the positive reviews and wish I’d read the negative reviews more carefully before booking.

Really great set. Flow was a bit confusing but some great elements.

Our room wasn’t reset correctly, which was not a great experience. Puzzles are fine, set is fine, but there’s not much of a narrative. If the room had been prepared, we might have liked it more. But as it was, we wouldn’t recommend.

Challenging and creative. Recommended

It was ok. Pretty hard and mostly padlock puzzles. Challenging but nothing you haven’t seen before

Worst escape room I’ve don’t yet. If you like rooms that make absolutely no sense, then you’ll love this. My only advice is to ask for hints the whole time because keys have absolutely no correlation to locks. It was so bad i wanted to ask for a refund on the way out.

The set was incredible, truly amazing set. But the puzzles/game were illogical—I don’t see how you could possibly escape without nudges, which is frustrating.

We ran out of time on the last puzzle. I think if this were played with fewer people we would’ve finished it, but there were too many conflicting feelings. The atmosphere was very immersive, the sets looked great, and it all seemed very promising, but the puzzles didn’t follow logic a lot of the time, making it frustrating. I still had fun, but I was expecting more.

The theming was great and with a spooky vibe

My new favorite prison game! Even after playing a lot of prison games this one was engaging and fun!
