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.

If you have impaired vision at all, this is gonna be tough. Color blindness will do you in as well.

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.

Great room - my first in New York City (Brooklyn). Has the vibe of the Man from Beyond (in Houston), but obviously isn’t that room (consistently ranked the #1 room in the US). However, it is a very immersive room - starting in the lobby and continuing into the room. Very impressed with the set design and effects. This is a room you should definitely visit!

Gameplay

Definitely novel - time appropriate puzzles and cool effects. Yes, there are a couple of combo locks and some conventional escape room puzzles, but they are the exceptions

Atmosphere

Great atmosphere - spooky but not scary. Beautiful design (a theater) and very immersive. Some really great effects, especially towards the end

Customer service

Parker was amazing and a really good GM. Definitely experienced and never violated the immersion

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Great atmosphere and unique puzzles

Story

Very well-integrated and a really captivating story. They shared afterwards that it’s based on a real life story/event

Difficulty

Medium

Medium, but with a good number of puzzles, including a few late that almost made us fail to escape

Game tech

High tech

A mix of tech and mechanical, with at least one old-school escape room puzzle

Ideal number of players

3-5, depending upon experience of players

Spooky

Successfully escaped with 3, which felt like a pretty good number of people to do this room. Theme and story was really well done and makes you feel part of the narrative, which imparts a sentimental/melancholic atmosphere that I have not experienced in an escape room. Puzzles were straight forward and stayed true to the theme. This is also a bigger room with fantastic set design. Highly recommend the trek out to Brooklyn!

This room was amazing! The set design is unbelievable. Very well designed and immersive. The story line was tied to the theme and the clues were very unique based off of the theme Moderate level of puzzles. Finished under an hour with 4 people Highly recommend!

Gameplay

The storyline was amazing. Very linear and unique ways to get to the next rooms that you don’t see in many other escape rooms. Flowed very well

Atmosphere

The set is the best part. Amazing decor, amazing props, very tied to the story line of the room

Customer service

Anna was our GM and she was very nice and helpful with the clues!

Parking

I think about this room regularly. It was so beautifully done, so immersive, so intentional. I wish I could forget about it just so I could do it again.
