My friends and I had such a good time here. We loved the Only Murders in the Building game. It was my first escape room and can't wait to return. Shout out to Maddy who was an amazing host. She was helpful, friendly and made the experience great.

We’ve played just over 100 escape rooms and always make a point to return to The Escape Game whenever a new room opens. The Only Murders in the Building room was a fun, fast-paced experience packed with both big and subtle references to the show. The gameplay flowed well, though don’t hesitate to ask for hints along the way. Even if you’re not familiar with the show, it’s still a solid and enjoyable room. The room is built on the same layout as The Heist, but about 90% of the puzzles felt completely different, which kept things fresh. So play both versions to compare for yourself! Our Gamemaster Cleon was friendly and supportive, and Vinny at the front desk gave us a warm welcome. Having played The Escape Game at multiple locations, we can confidently say their rooms are excellent for both first-timers and seasoned escape room fans.

Best escape room in NYC! Anthony and Samuel are both fantastic hosts & game masters and really enhanced the experience. 10/10 will be back to try the rest of the rooms. We did the Timeliner room and it’s one of the most technologically advanced escape rooms we’ve been in with cool interaction with touch screens.

This was my 23rd escape room and I can safely say it was my favorite one EVER. Our flight back home got delayed so we figured what better way to kill time than to do an escape room! My husband and I ended up doing the prison break room (their hardest) and we got out with 3 minutes left to spare! The game masters were AWESOME and gave us a goodie bag with a ton of snacks (like, so many snacks thank you SO MUCH) for the airport, water bottles, and the cutest postcard signed by all the employees! You guys put a huge smile on our faces and if/when we come back to NYC, we will definitely be back. Thank you for the kindness! 💛

I’ll keep the review short. Absolutely so fun! My friend and I always go here when we have time. We’ve done three escape rooms so far. There was this one time when a kid and his mom came to our escape room and did absolutely nothing but cause chaos. Thankfully, we got to have the choice to choose another room to play privately. Awesome!! Very beginner-friendly and amateur-friendly.
