Only Murders in the Building

Loveddddd the theming! If you are an escape. Room fan and a fan of only murders! This is the room for you! Really enjoyed the theming. I spent more time taking pictures than focusing on escaping just because it was so well done! Heads up if you've done their heist room, looks somewhat similar but the puzzles are different. That did throw us off since we just did heist not too long ago.

This was by far my favorite from ETG. Most of their rooms suffer from poor theming. Their other rooms didn’t even try to theme eg. submarine, train. This was different- I felt like I was inside the real apartment. The hidden surprises were actually surprising. Only issue is we went in with some semi seasoned enthusiasts, and left in 32 minutes. That part felt very unsatisfying. You feel like you pay for an hour of fun and you’re out in half that time. If you’re experienced, only do 2/3 people to make it last.

It was alright, probably the biggest downside is that they did stick some random people in the room with us at the last minute, which led to us not getting to personally experience some of the puzzles. This was a bit of a bummer since we are huge fans of the show and the people put with us were not, which led to us missing some of the Easter eggs to the show, which was disappointing considering how expensive this room is. The game play was fine, although I wish the plot of the room more closely tracked the “solving murders” premise of the show rather than tracking a B plot, especially since it didn’t make a ton of sense why you would need to solve puzzles to find some film rolls. We enjoyed it, but I really wanted to like it more.

The room had some clever moments, but a missing clue prop AND a non functional clueing device really spoiled the experience.

Fun game and great set as usual from TEG. The clues were challenging and a couple were a little vague. Not my favorite from TEG but still fun and a good atmosphere and experience overall.

What a fantastic room! Fun game, clever props and show related content! as a fan of the show and The Escape Game, I LOVED this room and found it to be logical, connected, and joyful (and I'm glad there wasn't another murder). only regret was that they didn't use more video of the cast, including the stars.

We love the show and had to do this room when we were in NYC. It is worth the visit for the easter eggs and immersion into the mystery. The puzzles were fun but nothing too mind boggling or new. Do this room if you love the show.

sooo fun, especially for fans of the show! So many great easter eggs! I thought it was great with two people (but we’re both good at puzzles), would recommend 4 at most. The puzzles flowed well, and were pretty straightforward but not too easy. Some cool tech too! I loved it. If you’ve played The Escape Game before it’s like a reimagining of Art Heist, but I liked this one MUCH more

Fun game! Plenty of puzzles to keep a bigger group entertained. We had a group of 7 and there was rarely a time when someone was standing around doing nothing. Some puzzles that required teamwork. Ending felt a little anticlimactic.
