Our game master was May, who was extremely kind and helpful. My friends and I came for a birthday, and we and I did the Tiki boat escape room which was actually lots of fun (don't want to give too much away ). I haven't done an escape room in a while, but I was genuinely impressed with how far some of the effects have come. All-in-all, highly recommend coming here to get your escape room fix!

Came here twice in one month. Nuts, I know…read more The first time we came here, we did The Cabin. When I first walked in, I was impressed by the decor and the vibe. I was NOT impressed by the size of the room. But after figuring out how to open a door that did not lead outside like I thought it would, I took back every bad thing I said about the size of the room. The second time we did Museum Heist. This was harder than the Cabin in my opinion, but it's all subjective. I also recommend 4-5 players, not the 10 you can max out with. Can't really say much without spoiling anything, but it's not a bad way to spend an hour.

Eric, our game master, gave them a good introduction and started the room. The flow was different than many rooms I've been in. Most rooms have a few quick wins so you get your momentum going. This room was challenging from the start. No matter, we used a couple of hints and moved through the room pretty well. There were definitely times that we felt completely stuck and then all of a sudden two or three things clicked at once. I'd go back to try their other rooms. I think we may have a new Black Friday family tradition for next year. Oh, the first puzzle? Recognizing that the front door isn't locked, just really hard to open! :)

The two of us went to the Amazing Escape Room in Green Brook for the first time. It's located in a shopping plaza on Route 22 with plenty of parking available. They have 5 different rooms to choose from with varying levels of difficulty. All rooms are private so it's just you and your party - no strangers. You book a room and time slot on their website. It's $33 per person with a maximum of 8 people. There's a $3 booking fee per person as well as state tax. One major con is that they have a 4 person minimum on weekends (Friday 3pm-Sunday 3pm). You can still play with less than 4 people, BUT you're going to have to pay a flat rate of $132 no matter what. I'm not a fan of that at all. Our reservation was for 5pm on Saturday. We were greeted by Erick, who was also our gamemaster. He checked us in and explained all of the rules. We did the Illusionist (magician theme), which had a 40% escape rate. You have one hour to escape. The room wasn't anything fancy or high-tech like some other ones, but still very creative and challenging. It was dim, so we had to use our phone flashlights at times. Erick was very helpful, patient, and had great communication with us during the entire game! You get 3 clues that are provided on a screen. He gave us bonus hints when we were struggling, which we appreciated. He even extended our time by a few minutes. For the most part, I thought that the puzzles and clues flowed well together. We wasted too much time on one puzzle that could have been executed better, but oh well! Sadly, we did not escape... we were 3 challenges away :( It was still a lot of fun! They do offer 50% off if you want to try the same room another time as a redemption. After you play, you can take photos in front of their backdrop with funny props. If you're looking for a fun team-building activity, I definitely recommend escape rooms! Just choose the right people and don't lose your cool ;)

Pros: -quite a few different challenges in the room -they provide the clues on a screen which is helpful. Some rooms verbally deliver clue and I can't always hear -lots of parking Cons -they have quite a few things that look like clues but are not part of the game (like padlocks that serve no purpose). They do tell you upfront that stuff which has a pink sticker is not part of the game but we all forgot that by the time the action started, so we blew a lot of time

We did the Dragon Castle and in the first ten minutes there was a puzzle solution that is now #1 on my list of neat physical solutions to a puzzle! The rest of the room was excellent quality. The entire room sucked you into the theme very well. The quality of props, puzzle pieces, and decorations were fantastic. The pacing was just right, the puzzles were the perfect difficulty. You were never overwhelmed with things you didn't need to use yet. I think the best part was that this was not just a room of keys and locks, there were physical puzzles which were outstanding! We were a smaller group, my two pre-teens who had a few escape rooms of lesser quality under their belt, and their newbie Grandma. Everyone had a blast! Can't wait to try the other rooms.

I would title this review "Mansion room: Not for the olds or newbies. Bring a magnifying glass and…read moreleave your sense of fun at home". I went with a group of 8 (2 of whom had never been to an escape room before). My husband and I have done about 10 escape rooms, we've made it through some, not made it through some, but we always have fun. Very little fun was had here at Escapology Holmdel. The mansion themed room left me disappointed, frustrated, and with a group of friends who will probably never do another escape room night out again. The first challenge was that my group is all in their early 50s and we are all starting to need readers. We all brought them but the type on everything was so tiny and wee, and the lighting so dark, that we spent a large part of our time just actually trying to read the clues vs. solve them. I like a clue that is difficult because you have to think around corners and you get that jolt of excitement that you figured something out, not difficult because you're doing a bunch of math and you transposed a number or you have to read through tons of lines of print. We had unlimited clues but our game attendant's clues were so rarely helpful (because we were making math and reading mistakes trying to read off endless lists of numbers) that we just gave up. We took up a huge amount of time thinking we hadn't solved a puzzle, when on two separate occasions we HAD but the instructions on the math were unnecessarily confusing and the person trying to read the words we needed got ONE wrong out of like 12. 40 minutes in I was done and just wanted it to be over. I get the impression that this room is for the escape room die hards that do lots of escape rooms and Hunt a Killer, and are very familiar with all of the tricks and cryptic codes so the creators had to add in a lot of extra work to slow them down and stump them. If you are not one of those people, mind the difficulty levels. If you are not under 40, bring a magnifying glass and a headlamp.
