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. Room was linear for a lot of it but did have sections where several activities could be completed at once. I'd say it was medium difficulty we asked for one hint and finished with 3 minutes to spare. I'd definitely return to try out the other two rooms at this location.

With our wits and the help of our game master Mike. We were able to escape. He was amazing. The only thing is some of the hints and puzzles were hard to see and or figure out because of either wear and tear or just the way it was structured. Things being rubbed off and the flashlights not being bright enough. Major Con: The only thing I don't like is all experiences most likely will be shared. I get it from a money aspect but you should be able to have an option for a private experience and pay a little extra instead of having to pay for all 8 spots. For me and my boyfriend we made it a tradition to do escape room the hardest ones actually. And having to possibly do it with other people and it depends on everyone to escape is just not our preference. The people who work there are really passionate and helpful.

So you reserve a room at a specific time and it's a public room so anyone can join the room I believe up until it starts. You might end up playing with strangers depending on the size of your group. Either way it might be a good thing. I was with a group of 3 and it was just us and it was a blast. The room is set up like a game show with buzzers. There are other props that come into play depending on the game. Theres a live hostess and Daniella was awesome. She made the games fun. There's a video screen that picks the games and then the hostess walks you thru the games. There are a bunch of different games to choose from and they range from trivia to building blocks and everything in between for game shows. Awesome and fun way to spend an hour or so.

This way you don't have to play the same games over and over. The hosts are always energetic and make you feel like a real contestant. Quinn at the Jersey location has made all my experiences memorable with top notch service. I've gone on two different holidays and I highly suggest you book in advance if it's a holiday. Even on a busy day Quinn the manager never made us feel rushed and allowed the total experience. Derek at the manhattan location is wonderful as well. I prefer the Jersey location because Quinn has always been so helpful and I appreciate that in a company. Highly recommended doing this for any occasion or just a fun time.

Reserved our time slot on their website the day before and the whole process was easy and straightforward. For reference I booked Thursday night for the next evening, Friday a 7 PM session. I was nervous the place would be sold out but they had about 4 rooms available Opted for the "Witches Revenge" which is their hardest room. We found parking on the side road but I can definitely see how it can be challenging in this area. Upon entering, we were greeted right away by a very friendly gentleman who explained what to expect and encouraged everyone to use the restroom since we had a couple of minutes to spare, and the session would be 1 hour. They also have a blank wall with props where you can take pictures before or after showing off your escape room experience. It was a little scary, but super fun. Definitely complicated but thankfully the staff is watching from afar and are there when you need help and will communicate with you while you're in the room. Can't wait to return and try a different room.

I am a huge fan of escape rooms and have done several dozen of these. This one was okay…read more No Spoilers below. We did the "Lost in Space" escape room with two people and escaped with about 15 minutes left. The room was nonlinear, which I liked. This means that there are multiple things to do at once so it is less likely for you to have everyone stuck at a bottleneck with one unsolved puzzle. The decor of the room was very nice and they did a good job setting it up to look like the inside of a spaceship. There was no real introduction to the room - the introduction was that we were taken into the room and told not to touch the orange dots. We also actually legitimately escaped the room leaving a whole set of puzzles unsolved. And there was also one point where we solved a puzzle and it gave us a sheet explaining/hinting how to solve a different puzzle that we had already completed. There were also keys that fit into and unlocked multiple keyholes. All of these things add to confusion and should not be possible. We told the puzzlemaster we only wanted three total hints. We only actually asked for one but we were given five, probably because the puzzlemaster noticed how we were confused by these things. So, all in all, room was nice, but could be a little better organized. See the image for the ranking of puzzle difficulty. It's not on their website.

The clues were intricate and fun - there were multiple different kinds of puzzles and clues, which kept the game fun. Didn't add that 5th star because I wish there was a timer in the room and sometimes we had trouble figuring out if a cabinet opened or not, so wish that was more obvious by either popping open or a light turned on. Overall so much fun and totally recommend!

So as not to spoil anything, some of the puzzles required very difficult insights and others required you to fiddle around in one location for quite awhile. Our puzzlemaster agreed that one of the puzzles she tried to solve on her own and it took her a good thirty minutes (even knowing what she was supposed to be doing). The process by which to find and enter the building was thematic but felt excessive. Our puzzlemaster seemed to agree because she texted us a picture of the door we were supposed to enter prior to the escape room.

It ended up just being my group and another birthday party which was really fun. The announcer was very nice and the games were CALM AND EASY. Thank god.

The guys working here are very friendly and entertaining, and seem to care a lot about guests having fun and asked us for feedback near the end as well. Parts of the rooms do seem a bit dated, and there were certain puzzles that did not make much sense to us even after we solved them. That being said, I think overall they were well thought out and enjoyable to work through. I'm still not sure which room I enjoyed more. I think the laboratory had more interesting puzzles to me, and the penitentiary had a lot of moving parts/puzzles that made it a bit confusing in terms of chronology, but that's a part of the fun of a lot of escape rooms. I would come again if I'm in the area, and look forward to future improvements under the new ownership.

The escape rooms here at OMEscape are very fun, challenging, and a unique activity for a night out. You get 70 minutes to try to escape, and are able to ask for hints if you get stuck. This is one of the more intricate escape rooms that I have done, with unique puzzles that you probably have never seen before. Matt is very funny and plays a good character, and definitely makes the escape room experience way more enjoyable. The price is very worth it as you get 70 mins to escape, while most other rooms I've seen only give 60. There are multiple different rooms to try, so I know if I come back I will get an entirely new experience. Looking forward to coming back here when in NYC!
