    My friends and I went out to dinner and decided to do an escape room, so during dinner we were googling nearby escape rooms. We found that this one had good same-day availability with similar affordable rates, so we made a reservation for one of their easier games. This was good because we had a couple beginners in our group, and I consider myself a bit more experienced but I love escape rooms of any level! The one we chose was called Quarantine, and the storyline was about stopping a mad scientist from releasing a bio weapon worldwide, which seemed fun to us! No spoilers for the puzzles, of course, but there were a wide variety of them, not just all locks and numbers, and there were a few puzzles that had very cool impressive mechanisms! There was one compartment that was already opened so when we solved the actual puzzle, we were confused why nothing happened, but it didn't hinder our progress in the end. It was also very fun because it was science-themed, and since we are all doctoral students, we had a very fun time with the biology and chemistry references! We finished the escape room with 21 minutes to spare, and the game master said it was the fastest time they'd had that week (which could be something they tell everybody, but it made me happy). My friends and I had a blast and when we were finished, they offered us a great deal for a discount on our second booking, so we immediately reserved that; and we'll be coming back again for another game. Can't wait!

    I've been to a few escape rooms now so I at least have a reference for other ones now. My first time at this location and it was a fun time. It's nestled in K Town not far from Herald Square. You have to take an elevator up once you get in the building. I don't recall the name of the room but it was scientist themed. It was decent. Lots of challenges and of course the keep an eye on you and you get and can ask for clues. I'd come back to try the other rooms as well.

    Great experience at this escape room. It is on the fifth floor of an office building in K-town. We tried the detective room and had 4 people in our group. The game focused on code breaking and had a very engaging storyline. The staff here are amazing and really attentive, they are clever about offering clues where needed without giving away the game. Definitely enjoyed the experience and would recommend. Prices per person are reasonable if you have 4 or more in your group and they also offer a 50% discount for repeat visits.

    We came here for my youngest daughters birthday, she loves challenging mind & physical games. We came at 4:00pm on a Friday and used the code 2023 for a 30% discount. We chose the room " Prey", which was pretty difficult (9/10 rating). I was totally lost & had no idea what to do but my daughters caught on pretty fast. Each party is assigned an employee/Game Master to give you instructions, help/clues, if needed and to watch over the room. There are 6 different rooms to choose from and you're allowed 1 hour in the room you chose to solve the crime or task. There were difficulty ratings posted for each room on the website before but I don't see them anymore. I remember Prey was 9/10 and Masquerade was 6/10 but I don't remember the other 4 rooms difficulty ratings THE PERFECT CRIME: Setting: Detective's Office (Story-driven) QUARANTINE Setting: Dr. Semias Vexx's Secret Lab (hands on puzzles) NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION Setting: Nuclear Power Plant (lights, sounds, buttons, technology) PREY 9/10 Setting: Lady Fleureau's Study (Scary) MASQUERADE 6/10 Setting: Ludovico Manin's Manor (Heist) EXODUS Setting: New York Museum (Exploration) We had a great time here and will be coming back. I recommend this to anyone that enjoys mind solving games I noticed the address wasn't complete above, so I'm posting the info here Escape Room Madness 38 West 32nd Street, 5th Floor, Ste 500 New York, NY 10001 Phone: (212)-239-8800 Business Hours: MON-THUR 12:00 PM-11:30 PM FRI-SUN 10:00 AM-11:30 PM

    My closest friends booked us the Apocalyptic Mission here as part of my 2018 birthday celebration last October. Our group was composed of 6 people and I felt it was just the right size to the room, or it would have already felt too small or restricting. It was cool and a unique way to celebrate my birthday. Loved how we all worked together to unravel clues etc and we were in fact commended that we didn't panic, get rattled, or started blaming each other. Wouldn't mind coming back!

    Great experience and wonderful staff!

    So much fun! I went for an office event and my team went to the Bloody Circus room. As a horror…read morefan, I appreciated the immersive details for this room. Lots of fake blood, creepy clowns, and even some jump scares built in. Definitely use your brain and think outside the box!! The puzzles were really unique. The only feedback I have is some of the puzzles were a bit wonky probably because a lot of people have been touching them so there are things that should be tuned up or fixed. Trying not to spoil so I'll try to be as vague as I can while giving feedback. So there's one puzzle where you have to smell things but everything smelled like the same rotten/rancid smell so my team members and I content differentiate the scents and had to randomly guess instead of actually solving the puzzle. There's another puzzle where you have to turn something but it was wonky from wear and tear and the tracks on them were worn down. Paul was our game master, and did a great job. He also said this room was the hardest one and the scariest one out of them all.

The commitment to the theme is impressive and consistent throughout. Some of the clues are definitely challenging and occasionally a bit unclear, but the overall atmosphere and storytelling make up for it. I've done both the Haunted Hotel and the Jail rooms, and both delivered a memorable, immersive experience.

The guys working here are very friendly and entertaining, and seem to care a lot about guests having fun and asked us for feedback near the end as well. Parts of the rooms do seem a bit dated, and there were certain puzzles that did not make much sense to us even after we solved them. That being said, I think overall they were well thought out and enjoyable to work through. I'm still not sure which room I enjoyed more. I think the laboratory had more interesting puzzles to me, and the penitentiary had a lot of moving parts/puzzles that made it a bit confusing in terms of chronology, but that's a part of the fun of a lot of escape rooms. I would come again if I'm in the area, and look forward to future improvements under the new ownership.

The escape rooms here at OMEscape are very fun, challenging, and a unique activity for a night out. You get 70 minutes to try to escape, and are able to ask for hints if you get stuck. This is one of the more intricate escape rooms that I have done, with unique puzzles that you probably have never seen before. Matt is very funny and plays a good character, and definitely makes the escape room experience way more enjoyable. The price is very worth it as you get 70 mins to escape, while most other rooms I've seen only give 60. There are multiple different rooms to try, so I know if I come back I will get an entirely new experience. Looking forward to coming back here when in NYC!

Ashley was our moderator, and she was so enthusiastic! This was the best experience I have had here, so they either upgraded their moderation systems, or Ashley is that amazing! I enjoyed our experience with The Witch's Curse. Everything made sense, and many of the puzzles tied into the theme. Like their other rooms, I like that they use a variety of puzzles, not just locks everywhere. Overall, I still stand by my previous review that I think their rooms could be more challenging. However, I would highly recommend Exit to beginners. I like that you can book a private experience, and the pricing is one of the more affordable in the city. The price decreases the more people you have, but a group of 4 is perfect for Exit because the rooms are on the smaller side, and the puzzles are not that complex.

I like that the rooms are private and the game masters asked us how we wanted our hints - we decided on no hints unless we directly asked, but if we were 'stuck' somewhere for 10mins they could give us a nudge. We did each room in about half an hour. We felt the puzzles made logical sense, were satisfying to complete, and didn't have any weird leaps of logic to solve. So while they were not the hardest rooms we've done, we found them very rewarding to complete! The room decor was great and immersive and the game masters were super nice. Very excited to do the other 2 rooms!

Sadly, this one was in my own backyard, and probably one of the most disappointing experiences we ever had together. Let me get something important out of the way. The person assisting us was very kind and helpful, so service was not the issue. The major problems lie in the quality of the room/puzzles, and most importantly, the fun factor. Fyi, we did the room for Guardians of Gotham. When they said that there would be no padlocks, I was somewhat happy. However, that meant way too many number codes and that sucked even more. It felt monotonous and tedious. The puzzles were okay but nothing super interesting. Overall, it just felt like we were solving puzzles, but the theme did not come into play one bit. My goddaughters were very excited about the superheroes theme, yet they said it was boring. I hate to say that I agree, but I do.

The clues were not too linear and it felt like our group could spread out and tackle multiple challenges. My main complaint was that there was a bit too much of a reliance on combination locks and it wasn't always clear why some panel would open up. "Did somebody do something?!" The clues were also sometimes too obvious or too vague. Difficulty: 3/5 (we needed one hint) Decor: 5/5 Tech: 3/5 Story: 4/5 Overall I would say this escape room was in the second quartile of all rooms. In NYC it was among the better ones. I also think this would be a great escape room for kids over 10 years old.

When we walked into the room itself I was already panicking as I did not see much to start the escape process in itself. Hardly any book shelf's, tables or doors to find objects. Everything had a lock on it so we knew we definitely had a mission. Also it was a bit confusing as some things in the room had nothing to do with the escape room. They do mark the items with a red x but it was very unfortunate. We seemed to have been in the corner room which had a real exit door and real elevator which is not the best for safety reasons. With all the fun and excitement someone eventually will try to open them. The puzzle was definitely a lot harder than we anticipated but it felt great when we worked together and figured it out! We did have to ask for clues along the way and they did a great job of not entirely giving it away and letting us decipher it amongst ourselves. This room is 1 hour but the last few mins is always the best. I definitely suggest a large group for these escape rooms they are so much fun. We escaped the exodus !!!!
