Top Escape Rooms in New York

If you're a first-timer, I recommend trying the 'Gold Rush' room. It’s super immersive and not overwhelmingly difficult, so it sets a fun vibe without being frustrating.

Book your room online in advance, especially on weekends. I saved a good amount because they often have deals for early bookings. Plus, you get to pick your preferred time slot!

After your escape, check out the nearby Gramercy area for some great food spots. The game's in a cool location, so take advantage of it!

Consider doing a room that matches your group's experience level; we went for a challenging one and, honestly, it was too tough for us! A little more fun would have been nice.

My advice is to arrive 15-20 minutes early to get settled and hear the instructions. We almost missed some key info because we were a bit late and rushed!

I think it's a good idea to check for discounts on weekdays. We saved a few bucks by going on a Tuesday and it was less crowded so we got more time to think and explore.

I suggest booking your spot online in advance to snag the best time slot. We walked in hoping for a room, but ended up waiting for an hour! Totally not worth it, trust me
