    Just finished their new outdoor escape room. Had a ton of fun!…read moreWe had a team of 4 and about 10 minutes before our selected start time, I got an email to share with the three others. Spent about 90 minutes and only had to use the clues twice.

    An escape room created by passionate escape room enthusiasts? YES, PLEASE! We had decided to check…read moreout Hour to Exit because they had decent reviews and we were trying to make the most of an "upstate" NY trip. We did the Elude the Illusionist room with no expectations and left thoroughly impressed. We booked an 8pm game on a Saturday, so the positive for parking is that it is ample and free. We freaked out a bit because the streets before the intersection were pretty crowded, but when we walked near the room, we realized that we had more options than we thought. Elude the Illusionist is created by Duane, one of the co-owners, who has done so many escape rooms. The room is appropriately challenging and the puzzles were enjoyed by even the most experienced escape room enthusiast in our group. I liked that the puzzles utilized a variety of skills and "lock" types (magnets and locks). The puzzles also matched with the magic theme, which is also more enjoyable. I have two minor critiques of the room. They have two puzzles that are based on lengths of things that are not the most obvious differences. Fortunately, there are other ways to solve those puzzles, but I think it could be a little more clear. Second, a previous reviewer mentioned that the room was not linear, but I think after the first major task, it does get linear. This is not the biggest issue because they allow private games, but that means a smaller group will work better! Honestly, the best thing about this room are the owners, Duane and Brittney. If you are an enthusiast, you NEED to do this room and speak with them! They are incredibly experienced and offered us a lot of other suggestions of rooms to do. We plan to come back and do their new room Robbin Tiffany's, but we hope that they are able to create another room similar to Elude the Illusionist in the future as well.

    We tried Escape from the Madman with our ten year old nephew and it was just the right level of…read morechallenge for all of us. The puzzles were varied and the rooms were meticulously arranged so that everything mattered if you could just figure out how and why. They gave us just enough hints to help us not stay stuck but only when we asked for them (be sure to let them know to only offer hints when asked if you want that). (Hint: Look for their dedicated entrance with a sign since it's an otherwise nondescript office building.) Sadly we didn't finish but it was still a lot of fun anyway. Highly recommended.

    Such a great time at this Escape Room!…read more I went with two of my best friends and we did "Abducted: Escape from the Madman". This is where you are abducted and you wake up in a stranger's closet, which you have to escape from! I thought the storyline was awesome and our Puzzle Master (not sure that is the correct name but the person that gives you clues when you are stuck!) was great. She knew exactly when to give us clues especially when we were so close to finding the answer. I thought this multi-room escape room was awesome and challenging. We managed to get out with 2 minutes to spare and will definitely check out some of their other Escape Rooms if I am ever back in the area. Also, the place is a little tricky to find as its in an industrial area so just keep circling and you will find it!

    ESCAPETHEROOMers visited this location in July 2018. This is location is upstairs of the Palisades…read moreCenter Mall. We had a group of six and got to the place right when it opened. The game masters were very accommodating and started us right away and there was no wait in between each rooms. The lobby is an open area with just the entrance to the three rooms. You enter into the same hallways but get debriefed at a different door each time depending on the game you are playing. It's definitely a more fun experience if you attend with people that you know share the same momentum and goal. Purchasing all 3 games is the most worth it, but when it gets busy you may have to share the room w/ random people or have to wait in between rooms. We're glad that we decided to try all 3 and receive the full experience. As for the rooms, if you like Disney rides, you are going to love these! The high tech quality of the props, storyline, and surround sound system implemented were all state-of-the-art. One minute, you'll feel like you're in an Egyptian tomb, the next in a futuristic spaceship, and then entering a hundred year old castle. The puzzles were not hard, some were actually pretty much geared towards kids. This is not your typical puzzle-heavy escape room. You are really here to experience a movie set and immerse yourself into it like an actor on set. We enjoyed all 3 rooms, but if we had to pick a favorite, I would say the "Tomb" is up there. They will give you a score at the end, pending on the time you spend in there, how many errors you've made, and if you used any of the clues or not (the clues are "voluntarily" given pending on the time you spend at a specific location because remember these are 30 minute rooms so the game will push you along and will not let you be stuck at a place for too long). Check out our proud scores below. Maybe not the castle one.. *For more info, check out my Yelp profile.

I wish it longer and let us try for a little longer at some of the challenges I felt like it wasn't enough time to solve a few of them since it was just 2 of us playing.

    This is a tough review to write. We just went with my daughter and her friends and they did the…read moreTreasure Island Escape Room. They had a lot of fun, the workers were very nice, attentive and accommodating. But the place itself seemed lacking in the decor and props. For the price we expected more intentional and well thought out decor to give the ambiance of the place an air of mystery and a cool atmosphere. Everything seemed cheaply decorated, like a pop up might be. But the staff were great, and the tasks for the escape were clever and well thought out. I would say if they invested more in the furniture, finishes and props this place would be 5 stars for sure

    I've only been here a few times, but have always had good laughs and a fun experience. Yes, solving…read morethe puzzles can be frustrating, but you try. It's really a team building event or fun outing with friends. I've never had to wait long for a room and had a reserved room ready for a large group. On that note, I'm not crazy about the idea that they could group strangers together if your room isn't full. Most people come here to play with their own group and don't want others in the room. Prices are pretty good for what you get and they may still have a rewards system. They do change over some rooms now and then too, which keeps it interesting for regular returners.
