What are the best New York City escape rooms?

What are the most affordable New York City escape rooms?

Prices for New York City escape rooms vary depending on duration and inclusions. If you're looking for escape rooms on the lower end of the price range, these are the best to book now:

Are New York City escape rooms worth it?

Yes, New York City escape rooms are worth it—they make for a challenging, yet entertaining, activity. Outdoor escape rooms (more like scavenger hunts) are a fun way to see the sights and make memories while playing games and going on missions against iconic backdrops like Central Park and Times Square, while indoor options are ideal for rainy days.

Per one customer who booked The Escape Game Brooklyn: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in City Point, "Great experience. The rooms are set up with a wicked high production value and game masters Martin and Sam are great at dropping hints at just the right moment to keep us from feeling completely stuck."

What should I know before booking New York City escape rooms?

Before booking New York City escape rooms, read the escape room description and requirements: some aren’t appropriate for kids, others require a certain level of fitness, and booking at least a week in advance may be necessary if you want to receive your kit in the mail as opposed to picking it up at a predetermined location in the city. Don’t read the reviews unless you’re OK with possibly seeing a spoiler or two.

What are the best tips for enjoying New York City escape rooms?

To fully enjoy New York City escape rooms, make sure your phone has a decent charge, as many games require an app, and you’ll need to be able to scan QR codes and text your game master if you need a hint. If you’re doing an outdoor escape adventure, dress in comfortable clothing that allows you to cover a lot of ground. Most outdoor escape room activities and treasure hunts take place in Central Park, and while there are a few places to seek shelter, you may be out in the elements for two or more hours.
