The 10 Best Room Escape Games in New York, United States
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Escape the Room is a fun, real life game taking place in an office in Midtown, New York City. While it looks like any other ordinary room, it's actually a mystery puzzle. Find the clues and solve the puzzles to earn your freedom and "Escape the Room." You have 60 minutes, so be quick! Come with your friends, family and coworkers and have a great time.

After doing many room escapes around New York city I would say Escape the Room is my favorite. Pros: Many room escapes seem to cater to the masses but these puzzles are challenging even for experienced escapers. Most of their rooms have many twist and surprises making these rooms feel big and make the 1 hour feel longer. The newer rooms have upped the quality of the set design and are very high tech and well crafted. Cons: If you care about set design or atmosphere some of their older rooms have fairly basic design. Some puzzles can feel unintuitive but there are usually hints if you get stuck.

My group of four people had a great time here. The business was clean well organized and new. I highly recommend this escape room for the team building exercises and cognitive thinking that is need to escape the room. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. I can't wait to try the next few rooms.

You and your team get locked in a fully themed room. The clock starts as soon as you enter. You have 60 heart pounding minutes to solve the puzzles, find the clues, and get out. You need to think outside of the box and think fast. Can You Escape? Many will try, few will succeed.

Nine of us went into the Escape Room; none of us had ever done one before. Great fun, challenging, and each of us contributed something important to the overall progress. My only suggestion is that they should have soft drinks or something for afterwards-- everyone is so pumped at the end, and we wanted to "relive" parts or talk about what happened. We all went to dinner somewhere else after. They could do well to offer that there

Are you disappointed in your family? We all are a little, in some small way, outwardly admitted or not. Want to feel better? Do an escape room together! Whether you get through, or not, this thing is a blast. You’ll power through (or not) abstract puzzles, codes and ideas together and your mental cardio will be in overdrive - and after it’s done, and despite whether you make it, you and your group will have had a blast. Enjoy the experience. Appreciate everyone contributing and simply have a fun time together. And ideally walk away less disappointed with some things, surprised at the mental agility of others and have had a new experience with family or friends. ;) The people st the Ronkonkoma location are just wonderful. Keep up the great work.

Clue Chase is New York City's largest escape game center. Our mission-based play style, expertly crafted puzzles, and large rooms designed by actual film and TV set designers make Clue Chase the most exciting room escape center in New York City. You will become a spy during the Cold War, an archaeologist trapped in an Egyptian tomb, a real life Robin Hood stealing valuables back from a master thief, or travel to an unknown galaxy to prove humanity's worth to intergalactic civilization. Clue Chase is an exciting adventure to share with friends, coworkers, and family of all skill levels.

Such an amazing spot! I have been to all four of Clue Chase's rooms, and they are all amazingly designed and very challenging and fun. The puzzles in the rooms are very creative, and the rooms are definitely a great activity for people of all ages. The staff are all very helpful and friendly and will give you extra clues if you need help while in a room. They are also very understanding if you have a member who is running late (as this has happened to me on almost every occasion), and will let them in late or let you wait for them. I have done three of the rooms with groups, and one of them in which we were with people we didn't know. While it may sound daunting to be locked in a room with strangers, we definitely all had a great time. I definitely have to say that Alien Encounter is my favorite, as the room has a great design, and the puzzles require a lot of team effort. I actually did this one with a group I was in a play with, and we all had to act as our character in the show. It was a great character-building exercise, and I would totally do this room again! I also appreciate how there is a story connecting the rooms, unlike some other escape-the-room places. I cannot wait for Clue Chase to make another room!

Came with a group of friends and had a wonderful time. Shamari was our host/clue giver, and he was so nice! Didn't give us too many clues, but when he did they were really appreciated. I would recommend going to the bathroom before getting there. Once you buzz, the game begins! You walk up the stairs and right into the game. I really like this aspect, it made the room spookier to have no one greet us in person. (We met Shamari once we finished the room). I love escape rooms, and this one doesn't disappoint. Really great set design & overall atmosphere. We were a group of 7, but I think 4 might be perfect.
