The rooms are clean and well maintained. The puzzles for the most part make sense and were solvable. The room used some technology and everything appeared to work correctly. Room was linear for a lot of it but did have sections where several activities could be completed at once. I'd say it was medium difficulty we asked for one hint and finished with 3 minutes to spare. I'd definitely return to try out the other two rooms at this location.

Probably paying a premium for the location but it's still a good time for a short collaborative group event.

I have done a handful of escape rooms in both NYC and Atlanta and this one really stood out. There were so many locks and puzzles to work through and none of it felt repetitive or boring. Angie took care of us and she was genuinely friendly and easy to talk to. She explained things clearly and kept the vibe light, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, this has been my favorite escape room so far. I would definitely go back and try another room.

The staff here are super friendly and the rooms are really fun but challenging as well. Nice cozy area to wait while you check in and you also have to sign waivers as well. Parking is street parking which isn't bad depending on when you come. You should also book ahead which you can easily do online.

Admittedly I was very nervous because I'm not a competitive person and I don't like pressure. I made a reservation for a party of 8 and the staff was so friendly. It ended up just being my group and another birthday party which was really fun. The announcer was very nice and the games were CALM AND EASY. Thank god. Everyone had a fun time & enjoyed themselves.

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.

I usually do an escape room in every city that I visit. While I have been to NY before, I finally…read moredecided to do an escape room here. 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!

General Notes: - There is no countdown/time tracking in the…read moreroom, which I did not mind. In fact I felt more immersed and it was fun to have absolutely no concept of time. - My friends and I did the "Hex of the Chinese Jewelry Box" room. We found this one to be very scavenger-hunt-esque of finding codes, keys, and objects. Few puzzles. - Cheaper on week day than weekend, at least from what I was able to discern from online booking. Cheaper tickets if you book with more people ($50 if less than 6, $45 if 6 for "Hex of the Chinese Jewelry Box" on a Saturday). With the fees, the $45 price is $49, so essentially it's $50 even for the cheaper group fare on a weekend. Pros: For at least the "Hex of the Chinese Jewelry Box", there were multiple rooms to run around in, which was fun and had more space for the 6 of us (vs. one main room). Cons: - There is a host but they go over general rules before entering the room. Once it starts, firstly the main door was kept ajar the whole game, which made it feel less immersive and I'm not sure if that was a mistake or not on the host's part. - There was an introduction audio once we began but it was barely audible to any of us so no one had any idea what was being said. It was the context to the game, and by the end of the game (don't worry, no spoilers) but we were confused if we solved it because we missed the context and the "objective" of what we were doing in the room. - Dim lighting which didn't personally hinder our experience, but I can assume that those with vision impairment could have a more difficult time I would come again if I can book with the cheaper fare and if I confirm there are more puzzles involved in the other rooms.
