My son and went while staying in AC for vacation. We did the Boardwalk Room and we had so much fun! It was just the two of us and I'd do another one here in a heartbeat. Definitely recommend if you're here with family and want something fun to do. read more

Super fun room worth a visit. Came to AC and had some time to burn. Signedup to do this room. Its located in one of the casinos. Room is clean and well maintained. Did just one room as we didn't have a lot of time. The casino cage was a well thoughtout casino themed room. With the casino theme I feel it could have been more hi tech but it was still fun. Puzzles made sense and were all solvable. Puzzles were a bit on the easy side, so maybe more approrpate for a novice group. Overall, a good solid escape room. If I'm in the area I would return. read more

Great time trying out the boardwalk escape room! We were able to walk in a book a time slot easily, there was still availability on a Saturday afternoon. We had to watch an informational video then we were lead into the room. You have 1 hour to escape and could request up to 3 hints to help you. Once you're finished in the room there is an area outside the rooms to take photos. We had a great time and were able to escape! read more

What a fun place! My second time. We did the Boardwalk this time . ( the casino cage last time) We loved all the different things to look for. It's hard , still yet have not escaped , but it's so much fun that it didn't matter. Great thing to do in AC , Adding to the excitement of a challenge. read more

Tough room but great experience. Zach and Kris were terrific hosts. Thank you for a fun night!

We were in New Jersey with friends and wanted to find something to do on top of slot machines and going down to the beach. We found Escape AC and decided to book a room. Super easy to find since it's actually located inside of a Casino. The staff members here are super friendly as well and we were able to use a promo code for 10% off. It came out to about $40.50/person. We originally wanted to do a different game room, but the only one available was the murder mystery one with about 5% success rate to escape. It made us a bit nervous since some in our group have never done an escape room before. I think the success rate at this location is so low because most of the other places I've gone to have allowed 1.5 hours minimum for a game room. Whereas at Escape AC, it is 1hr max to escape. However, our game master was super friendly and helpful. Instructions were given to us very thoroughly before the escape time started. And to our surprise, WE ESCAPED!!! Well, the caveat was that our game master was super kind and added an additional 2 minutes to the clock since we were extremely close at the end. The extra 2 minutes definitely made our experience that much more thrilling and enjoyable because our adrenaline was up when there was only 5 minutes remainder in the clock + the satisfaction of escaping. I highly recommend trying out their escape rooms if you are trying to find something to do in Atlantic City. It's a good bonding and team building exercise for sure. read more

First time doing an escape room, and would 100% go back. I was with a bachelor party, so we had to split into two groups, and our group of eight guys went into the Backstage, alas, we could not escape. The truth is, it didn't matter that we couldn't escape, we had an amazing time. I made the reservations over the phone; the staff was very accommodating and explained exactly what an escape room was. When we go there, same thing. Your group does a 5 minute orientation to explain to you exactly what an escape room is, and some general rules and tips to be successful. I won't spoil the room itself; all I'll say is, it was a blast. We had quite a large group in the room, and my personal feeling is it's easier to do it with big groups, but small groups can work too. Once we failed to escape within the 60 minutes, the employee who was watching us the whole time took our picture, and we met up with the other half of our party. Every single person was more then willing to do it again! The $39/person price tag isn't cheap, but totally worth it. I'm not sure if you need a reservation, or they accept walk-ins, but for sure, Escape AC is a must if you are looking for a good time in AC that doesn't involve a deck of cards or dice. read more

I really do enjoy escape rooms and was super excited when I was able to find one in AC! Came here with a group of eight on Saturday during Halloween weekend. Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that kept it from being 5-Stars. First, they did not clearly explain the object for our particular game to escape. Second, we had to "earn" 3 hints to receive help. Which I felt took some of the focus off of the main objective. Third, the overall price was quite expensive; ordering the tickets online for our group total to $315 with taxes and fees. Is it at the top of my list when I come to AC? No Was it fun to experience with a group? Yes Would I go back? Probably not read more

Amazing experience definitely would recommend to anyone that likes fun ! Taylor was a great game master and super awesome. Thanks for the fun! read more

My group of four had an AMAZING experience. Although we were late they were still super nice and understanding. Nick was our game master and the room we were in was the "Poker" room. This room has a 10% escape rate with a group of 10. Finding this out before beginning the game was a bit disheartening and so I didn't have much faith in escaping. 10%? But hey, it's not always about winning, right?? So once inside we each split up and before you know it guess who ended up escaping?! WE DID!!!!! We left that place feeling pumped!! So pumped we decided to try our luck inside the casino but that didn't end up with the same positive results HAHAHA! Anyways, would I recommend this place? Sure would!! read more

I didn't know what to expect prior to trying escape room. At first, it's a bit confusing because they lock you in a room and you literally have to find your way out by using clues in your surroundings. A bit frustrating a first, but once you get the hang of it, it turns out to be a really cool group activity. The staff here are great, and do a thorough explanation of how things work, and what you need to do. If you're looking for a cool activity to do with friends or family while in Atlantic City, I would recommend this place! read more

Awesome time! We did the backstage room and it was challenging! We didn't escape but would totally do it again if we are in the area. They estimated we finished about 65% complete. You get one hour from start to finish. Arrive 15 minutes before. We reserved our slot online. We did a group of 6, they recommend 10. Highly recommend! read more

Escape AC - Escape Rooms - Escape Games Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

ESCAPETHEROOMers first time visiting this location was back in July 2018. Since then we've been back and completed all of their 4 games. This escape room is located in the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City and tt was a bit tricky to find as it's in the lower level of the casino. The lobby is clean and has some comfortable sofas in the waiting area. Although "Casino Cage" is the smallest room there, it was definitely challenging with two people as there's a lot of puzzles to do. However, we were just shy of one puzzle from successfully escaping. I would say ideally four people would be a good number for this room. This room had a lot of linear puzzles with mostly locks, but there was a clear storyline which we liked that told the story of how a casino cage functioned and the set design was also pretty immersive. Everything was very well maintained in there. If you go with two people, they will be able to give you your three clues right away. But if you go with more than two people, you will actually have to solve puzzles to earn your clues which will take away some of your time from the actual game so just beware of that. If you have more people, someone should definitely work on earning the clues as the others search for and work on the actual puzzles in the room. We attempted "The Poker Room" next. One of us got the three clues on their own, while the others searched the room and started to tackle the puzzles. Although the 3 hints definitely came in handy, we wasted way too much time in the beginning and ended up completing only 50% of the room. I think the "Poker Room" definitely needs six people or more to be able to get close to the finish line. We felt that with the difficulty level of this room, hints should be just given from the start instead of having to earn them. This room only has a 5% escape rate so I definitely encourage the experts to challenge this. The design of the room was quite clever as there's always a surprise factor one after another. There were some red herrings in the room but they can be easily spotted. We really enjoyed this room and was hoping we can see the end but they do not reveal anything further in hopes that you'll return and attempt it again. We attempted to escape the "Backstage" room with our sister and two other people that decided to join the room w/ us. We felt immersed right away as if you were part of a show. The room was dimly lit which made a lot of the puzzles harder to see. There were a few cleverly used props and puzzles with lights which we haven't seen before and it definitely challenged our memory. We enjoyed this room as well as each of their room gave us a unique puzzle experience. The last room we attempted was "The Broadway". The puzzles involved not only mental but some were physical challenges too. I would say one of them actually needed a bit of luck as it was the one we spend most of our time on.We particularly liked how the puzzles were spread out so that everyone could keep busy on their own. From the minute that we entered, we felt like we were actually outside on the boardwalk. The decor and sound was on point. The room was well maintained. Although this room only has a 25% escape rate, we definitely encourage you to have four people or more. Searching every inch of this room is a must! *For more info, check out my Yelp profile. read more

Absolutely amazing place and friendly staff! it's a must when going to AC! My kids had so much fun. we will be going back!

Honestly, one of the BEST experiences Atlantic City has to offer. Located inside Tropicana, this place had my friends and I both stressed to the max while having fun. It's a little difficult to find, but if you just ask around, everyone is super nice and knows exactly where it is. We just had lunch at Hooters prior and it's within 5 minutes of there, which if you know where Hooters is, it's by the boardwalk. Basically, you're voluntarily trapped in a room and in order to escape, you have to solve the puzzle. They give you about an hour and with it being so difficult and detail oriented, we weren't able to solve it :( If you plan on coming, I recommend coming with 6-10 people. They have four different rooms with one of them dedicated to 6-8 people, while the other three are for 8-10 people, I believe. Details are listed on their website. My friends and I did Casino Rage and we had 6 people. With the nature of the rooms not really changing, I don't have any pictures and they also ask the same of everyone else. The best part is figuring it out yourself, so I won't say anything more on my experience. The only thing I'll say is that it was SUPER fun and coming with a pretty smart group (we're all in med school, grad school, college, etc) we still found it super challenging. Make sure to take note of everything and to stay organized because that was our biggest problem. Be gentle of their equipment (locks, keys, etc) because I can only imagine how often they break from careless individuals hahah. Another great part is their customer service. I can't recall the name of the receptionist, but we came on Monday (4/12/21) at 6pm, so whoever was working that day was amazing. She was so lovely and explained everything perfectly. The other person I remember that helped us was Taylor and he was the "game master," who's in charge of watching the cameras and providing hints while we were solving the puzzle. He provided helpful hints and made sure we were all safe in there. Great guy and I hope you have him as a game master as well. Anyway, I highly recommend this place to everyone. Amazing time! read more

I did the Poker Room alone and had the best time. It started when I walked in and asked Ariana if I could do a room alone. She made sure with her boss and was super helpful and sweet. My game master was Taylor and he was also great. It was a difficult room to do and didn't escape, but he said I got farther than most groups which made me happy. Will definitely come back again, hopefully with others next time! read more

OMG this was so fun! My coworkers and I are visiting AC for fun and we put our teamwork to the test here! Out of 10 of us only a few had ever done any escape room activities before, and I was a total newbie. We apparently chose the most difficult room out of the 4 choices and it was really cool. We beat the time with ten minutes left and when we escaped they told us only 1 in every 4 groups make it out of that room due to the difficulty! They praised our teamwork and made it fun. Thanks!! read more

Had a great time over the weekend escaping from the Poker Room. They do open bookings, so be prepared to work with strangers if you don't reserve all 10 spots (8 on the smaller room). Puzzles were of reasonable difficulty - my group of 8 frat bros that I was paired with may not have been the brightest bulbs, but being an experienced escape room player, I was able to guide them along and get us out with 4 minutes to spare. The design was good - some red herrings here and there, but for the most part, really enjoyable. Only 2 things I'm not a fan of - first is "earning" your hints. To get 3 of them, one or more people have to stop focusing on the room to answer three trivia questions. - second is a policy that is absolutely mind numbing... if you leave the room (bathroom, medical issue, phone call, etc) you are NOT permitted back into the room to continue the escape. There's no value to leaving, only lost time. Why not let the customer back in if they have to pee, rather than make them hold it or waste $35? Senseless. read more

Really fun time. Our game master Josh was fantastic. The Casino Cage was perfect for a first time, small group. Barely escaped! Already talking about going back for another room as we exited the facilities. Everything was also really clean and well managed. read more

I stop at the Tropicana at least 3 times a year and I used to always walk by the escape ac room and didn't think much of it because there would never be people inside of it. I decided to do it with my family during this stay and it was the most exhilarating thing i've ever done. It was so much fun to try and solve all the riddles and tricks. Our party of 6 beat the board walk with 27 seconds left on the timer. It needs to be advertised more around the hotel. I never see any advertisements for it and it makes sense because it never has people inside of it. It was amazing and will definitely do it again next time. read more

Escape AC is right at the top of the list of fun and cool escape rooms I have done recently. My girlfriend and I played the casino cage, my girlfriend and I were teamed with another group. While I won't spoil anything I'll just say they did a great job of teaming us up and explaining the room to us. This room was very fun and creative, it was different from a lot of escape rooms I have done recently. They made the casino cage very realistic and challenging. Escape AC offers 4 rooms that all seem very interesting and I am looking forward to returning and trying either the Poker room, Boardwalk or Backstage. Escape AC is great for a group looking to change up the normal AC adventure. read more

Signed myself and my love up for the Casino Cage experience to celebrate his birthday. Unsure what to expect, we ended up being locked up alone. With only a step or two left in the puzzle, we unfortunately did not make it out but STILL had an absolute blast! We were happy to know that despite the odds being against us (usually 4-6 people play this game, not 2), larger groups don't typically get as far as we did! Overall, a fun game where you can work together and use your brain to solve clues that eventually all hook up together into one giant live-action puzzle. We are officially hooked and can't wait to try some of the Escape Room locations back in our neck of the woods! Thanks to the friendly staff at the AC location for breaking us in. Definitely a fun activity whether you're 2 or 6! read more

Came in on a whim with my girlfriend, we were given a room with a 5% success rate when it was just the two of us! We had a blast figuring out all of the clues and our Game Master Nick was super helpful! Solved with just over 4 minutes left, we can't wait to come back and try out the rest of them! read more

My friends and I decided to make some last minute Saturday night plans. The staff was very friendly upon arrival.

Backstage room- multiple clues did not work, asked for hints, got no response for 10 minutes. Then given a clue to something we already completed. Asked for another clue, no response. Later (after we left the room) told the staff was calling the manager to see what was broken and why a clue wasnt working, despite the clock continuing to tick away, and we continue to struggle on the same steps. Love escape rooms, our small group had probably done 100 of them combined and this was by far the worst experience. read more

Our first time here and we will back if in the area and have time. The staff is super friendly the games and rooms fun. They have some tricks and locks that are different which I love because I've done a lot of escape rooms. Only drawback is that if you don't finish you'll never know how far you were or what you had left to complete the room successfully and the game masters are tough. It's a great location in Tropicana next to all the action. If you have time stop and get a strawberry daiquiri before. I had a great time. read more

If you're looking for something to do with a group of friends while in AC, I highly suggest checking out Escape AC. I went with a group of 6 on a Saturday night and from the online reservation, to being greeted at the door, and interacting with all of the employees - it was just a great and easy experience. We were put with another group of 4 and the 10 of us experienced (and beat!) the Poker Room. I loved the creativity and details that they put in the room. It was challenging and everyone was able to focus on a task which was great. Definitely will be trying this again on a future trip to Atlantic City! read more

Best escape room I've done yet! The room and clues were impressively and cleverly designed and put together, and I had the greatest time! I would recommend it to everyone who's coming to Atlantic City, it is a must do!!! read more

Great place really fun our gamemaster was great i think his name was nic or ryan he was really good

This is the second time I have done an escape room here. We escaped the "Back stage" room tonight. It was so much fun. The rooms are so elaborate and put together extremely well. The room is very committed to the theme, even having smaller items authentic to the time era the room is based on. Our "Game master" was Nick. He really made sure we had a great time. He gave us hints when we needed them but still made sure we had to over come the challenges largely on our own. We would highly recommend these Escape Rooms to anyone who wants to have a fun time with a few friends. read more

This was such a fun experience! We did the backstage murder mystery room which they consider the hardest! We didn't get to escape on time but it was so much fun and we would all definitely want to go again and try a different room! Chris and Jasmine were awesome! They made us feel welcome and comfortable and added to the fun! We will be back soon! read more

We have done 3 rooms so far and every time it is a pleasure. Taylor is awesome! He's friendly and helped to clarify many of our questions. So much fun and I'd definitely recommend. read more
