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.

Overall the staff member was very nice (and didn't rush us) and we had fun bumbling around, but the…read moreactual room (Sherlock) was one dimensional in many ways. We didn't solve the puzzle in the hour time and used 4 of 5 clues. And there was no A/C so there was a loud fan in the room the entire time. On a Sunday morning we were the first early bird group to arrive. Located on the third floor by Bath and Body Works, the doors opened a bit before official store opening at 11 am. There are various bookings throughout the day/evening and you'll be prompted to sign a waiver. The actual story could have been more direct and clear especially when you only have an hour for the experience and you're trying to maximize time and accommodate different reading levels. And they had an overemphasis on needing to unlock various locks. The room and mystery lacked depth and it was confusing which clues applied to which lock. It would have made more sense if the clues had been more sequential and only applied to a specific lock in the vicinity. Some of the clues also seemed a little silly. They could also have designed the experience to use props or walls in the room more. I'm guessing all the rooms are designed in this way. Pricing could also have been more clear; ordering online includes an online ordering fee so you should probably call. There's a slight discount for 4 or more people and for veterans. And if you sign up for their rewards program you save 10% but each person has to sign up, and they have to ring each person up separately to apply the rewards so then you don't get the volume discount. While they do have locations in various states, I can't imagine visiting 5 times in a year to qualify for one free visit. Their automated purchasing system just wasn't very customer friendly.

Okay... I read the reviews beforehand and still decided to give Alcatraz a try. Honestly, I wish I…read morehadn't. The room is SO small, extremely hot, and basically just one room with what felt like 20 locks. There's no second room or much of an experience beyond solving the locks. To make matters worse, the rooms are separated by what appears to be a very cheap divider, so you can hear the other groups the entire time. The other team was so loud that we could barely hear the clues and instructions coming through the outdated tablet. It completely took away from the experience. We ended up winning with 20 minutes left, which honestly says a lot about how simple the room was. Save your money and go to Puzzle Parlor in White Plains instead the experience there is SO much better. The one positive thing I can say is that the employee working there was absolutely wonderful. He was so sweet, helpful, and genuinely kind. I honestly felt bad for him having to hear all the negative comments about the place because he was such a doll and did his best. Other than the amazing employee, the whole place felt old, worn out, raggedy, and in desperate need of an upgrade. Then there was an almost $20 credit card fee, which made the experience even more frustrating. Unfortunately, I really can't recommend this place. Not worth the money at all.

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.

I'd definitely return to try out the other two rooms at this location.

Had never done an ER and had no idea what to expect. I can't believe the level of attention and detail they put into these rooms. Since our veteran had done every other room, leaving ONLY the absolutely most difficult rooms left, I was kind of astounded at the complexity and probably wound up saying "oh, that's clever" or "I'm stupid" about five hundred times. We initially did a lost hiker room, and then later the new two hour room that they had recently opened up. Both were extensive, with multiple linked rooms, including "outdoor" areas (that aren't) that were immersive, with attentive staff that both sold their roles and kept the clues coming when we were confused. The two we did had horror themes, particularly the second one, that might have scared young children, but some of the easier rooms seemed to have less frightening themes. Again, I can't stress enough the level of detail put both into the clues, the experience, the sound system, the decor, it was all pretty amazing. On our first one, since there were no parties after ours, we were allowed to continue thirty minutes past our "deadline" since we hadn't quite solved it yet. I'm looking forward to doing some of the easier rooms too!

Escapology Escape Rooms Haunted House Review: Haunts and…read moreHorror Reviews We were able to play the newest Escape Room at Escapology in Danbury, CT called Haunted House. This one has a backstory and atmosphere that is darker and more ominous than a basic scary mansion theme. It is an immersive experience of being in an old house that is haunted and tormented by evil spirits and the tragic end of the family that lived there. It packs a lot in a small space with some jump scares and it is probably best for a group of 4 to 6 people. Some of the puzzles can be challenging so it's good to have help. The final stages of the game really elevate the experience as your time ticks down and urgency increases. The tasks to be solved become more sinister in nature but also were the most fun part. The detail and atmosphere really put this one over the top. Highly recommended if you enjoy spookier types of games and experiences.
