Do you have what it takes to put clues together and solve puzzles? Well I’ve got just the place for you! With just 60 minutes on the clock you will be placed in a room (the theme of your choice) with various clues that you must solve in order to find the key to escape!
Yesterday I visited “Escape the Room” located in Midtown Manhattan (25 W. 31st.) where I was locked in “The Home” (the theme of the room) with six other people and our premise was, as I mentioned before, to gather multiple clues that were inside of “The Home” in order to find the key and ESCAPE! Even though the people I was paired up with were complete strangers, I have to say, our team work was on another level! We all worked together as if we had known each other for years! Every time we found a clue everyone screamed out of excitement and our adrenaline kept rushing as we started to get anxious to find the next clue which would hopefully lead us to the key.
With just six minutes and 24 seconds left on the clock we made it out of the room! Yes we ESCAPED!! Shockling, only 20% of people make it out! Crazy huh? This was such a great experience and I recommend everyone to go! You don’t need to be a brainiac either so don’t be discouraged!
If you’re interested, they have many different themed rooms. As I mentioned before I was locked in “The Home”, but in the Midtown location they also have “The Office” and “The Agency” themed rooms. Their second location is in Downtown Manhattan (107 Suffolk St.) where you can get locked in a “Theater” or an “Apartment”! How great is that!?
I will definitely be returning with a group of friends! Although I am unsure which theme we will choose, I know it will be fun and exciting regardless!
I chose to do this not only because it was an interesting and unique thing to do but also because I’ve come to realize that us New Yorkers take advantage of the City that we live in and how many great things there are to do here. You don’t always have to go to the movies or out to eat even though that’s all that seems to be around.
So expand your horizon, next time you and your friends are bored, go check out “Escape the Room”!! You won’t regret it!
I will definitely be checking this out. I love fun activities like that. And you are right. Over the past few years I’ve noticed, that there are so much things you can do in NY other than the regular movies, parry scene.
Yes! We have so many great resources that we don’t make use out of like Google! I just searched “What to do in NYC” and “Escape the Room” was one of the top rated “things to do” on Yelp!
Sounds interesting!! I found it really amazing how you were able to work with strangers as a team to complete the task.
How much was admission?
It was $28. Not too bad. You get your moneys worth I can promise you that!
Not bad for a place located in Manhattan!!! It is cheaper than many other places in NYC that are more commonly visited like Madame Tussauds Wax Museum or many others. I will definitely think about going with my family when we are not busy.
I know right! … You definitely should go with your family. Can’t wait to hear about your experience!
Now this seems extremely fun
It was! You should check it out!
That’s sound really fun! Anything that is fun and makes you workout your imagination while meeting new people, is a must!
I totally agree!
