Happy to jump on the bandwagon. Got the recommendation from Reddit. So far after trying one of Myss Tic escape rooms, I am really impressed. They knock the competition out of the park. 8 of us did "Montauk" and it was outstanding. Easily the #1 escape room in nyc and nationally in the top 10%. The degree of immersion and the thoughtfulness of the sets are a big win. Also minimal use of combo locks and the rooms did not feel linear, with people making progress on different puzzles at the same time. The mood is also fantastic with 1980s vibes and stranger things fans will appreciate some of the design elements. The tech was very creative and challenged your senses and forced coordination and teamwork! Puzzles 5/5 Tech 5/5 Immersion 5/5 Difficulty 4/5 Great neighborhood with awesome restaurants across the street. read more

What an amazing experience. My husband and I went for Halloween and had such a fun time solving all of the puzzles in our 1 hour time slot. While we didn't solve everything, we left feeling super inspired by the story and the design of the escape room. The mystery was so layered and cool! Gah, can't wait to go back! read more

I did the Ghost Light room a few years ago and did the Montauk room today, and both were so fun! Great rooms with unique puzzles at a good price :) read more

Had an amazing experience here! I'm honestly not great at escape rooms, but our game master Parker truly pulled us through and made the whole experience so fun. Their energy and vibe were fantastic and really added to the excitement of the game. The storyline was amazing and the props were super well done--it felt really immersive from start to finish. We did The Bird room and had a great time solving it together. Overall such a fun experience, and I'd definitely love to come back and try the other escape rooms. Highly recommend! read more

Went here on a Saturday night and got to the place around 9:45 and the staff was still willing to let us continue (we did call ahead and gave them a heads up). The game master was very nice, gave clear instructions and set up the story quite nicely. Compared to my prior escape room experiences, I really enjoyed this. They gave us water, let us dry from the outside rain and let us freshen up before we started and there was no rush. The game itself was a fun experience. I was surprised by the unlimited clues, and there quite a few puzzles,and surprise rooms that you don't initially think about. Some of them I would say are near impossible to (or at least I felt so) but with the clue whenever we were completely lost were still solve-able. I had a great time here. The vibes are nice and if it's above your skill level the game master will get on the mic and guide us (which didn't take away from the fun). I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their game rooms. Lots of moving pieces and hidden features that made me feel like this was one of the better escape rooms I have been to. read more

We did the room "The Bird" and absolutely loved it! My partner and I love escape rooms and this was only the second time we were attempting one just the two of us. It was a blast, the things to solve were clever and interesting, lots of storytelling, and beautiful set design. Highly recommend! read more

We booked the Montauk project. They try to make it realistic, and I loved the setup. There were a lot of vintage props. There is an agent watching who can give any needed hints. We had an hour to get through 3 sections. The hidden clues and triggers are interactive and make it more fun. The themes are a bit creepy, but I enjoyed that. They have a coat rack, a locker for personal items, and a bathroom. read more

Had so much fun trying their new room The Bird! The puzzles were not too difficult even for a beginner, and me and my partner had a blast. I would say though the room is pretty small, and puzzles are more or less linear; I would recommend small parties or else the room will feel a bit cramped. Our GM was so lovely too - forgot to get her name but loved her! read more

So I don't really like escape the rooms but I actually had such a fun time here and the room we were in (technically three) was so fun!!! We did the Montauk Project which was 4/5 difficulty. Without the hints I know we would not have made it but thankfully we beat it with 11 minutes to spare (you have one hour). I really loved the set design. It was a little spooky but so fun. There's a coat rack and also a spacious locker to put your items in. Jade was our guide and was so nice and helpful. Would def be interested in coming back! read more

We made our glorious return to MyssTic Rooms this evening to experience Montauk Project! Kat and Mika were phenomenal as our GameMasters, providing indirect direction that helped guide us down the right path while maintaining our autonomy to solve puzzles. This approach to hints was SO satisfying, as we never felt like we were just given the answer to a puzzle but rather led toward the solution. This room is so much fun and has something for everyone. The puzzles range in approach and skill, meaning each member of your team will be able to excel in a different part of the game, leading to a truly collaborative experience. I've now done 2/3 rooms and am both excited for and dreading returning for the third because it means another incredible experience in my future but the last time I'll be able to visit for a while. Do yourself a favor and experience MyssTic! Everyone is lovely, and the rooms are creative, engaging and, above all, FUN! Can't recommend this company enough. read more

Great puzzle. We did the ghost light room, and the puzzles were super fun to go through. Our prompter, Anna, was a big help in clarifying things for us, and the overall room was well put together with a nice and cohesive theme. Would recommend! read more

So so fun. Went with a group of friends for my birthday. A complex, well thought out room! Already chatting about when we'll head back.

Such an amazing time! Me and my friends are all theatre kids, and Ghost Light was perfect for us A special shout out to our game master Charlie, who kept our hints on theme and immersive (and who was also just a fun person). I'll def be coming back to do the Montauk Project! Thanks for a lovely birthday!!! read more

Had such a great time at MyssTic that we played twice in one night! The games were really thoughtful, had fun themes, great props, and fantastic multi-sensory experiences. Steph and Rory made our night phenomenal. Can't wait to come back! read more

We did Montauk Project. What an amazing and diverse set of puzzles to solve. Shoutout to Mika our game master who was an absolute gem.

I had a great time in the Montauk Project room (we had a large group with a mix of beginners and experienced escapers). The sets were well designed: thematic and appropriate for the storyline. The puzzles were not too hard but not too easy, good for a group of people to work together on. And the puzzles were also thematic with the room. read more

2nd time here. 1st time we did Ghost Light and this time was Montauk Project. Both were amazing! Thank you Game Master Rori!

Stopped here on the last leg of my vacation. It's a little out of the way but easy to find. We did the room called "Ghost Light" with 4 players. The room was very beautiful and flowed well. There were a couple elements I haven't seen before in other rooms too! There was one thing in the room that didn't work immediately and we had solved it, didn't move on, and kept looking for the solution. Our game master wasn't paying attention because later they said "did you try XYZ?" and we confirmed that we did and then I think they activated the puzzle solution? Only a little frustrating because it cost us time but it was ultimately a small hiccup. Overall, the game was not terribly hard but also was pretty enjoyable. I would come back and attempt some of the other games (the Montauk project and their soon to be released game) on another vacation to the area. read more

Gara was an amazing game master! The Ghostlight room was super fun! Lots of intricate puzzles and locks - definitely one of the better rooms I've escaped and a great way to collaborate with the team on our team building outing. Without any spoilers! The room we played was up to 6 players and I thought it was the perfect number of people to play. They said they're offering two more rooms so I will definitely try to come back. Yayyy so fun!!! read more

This was such an outstanding experience. My group took on The Montauk Project and had the time of our lives. The theming and props lend themselves to a very immersive experience. This is not your ordinary escape room -- there is more than meets the eye, and you will have to think outside the box to solve mysteries and find clues (instead of just entering code after code). Fans of a certain spooky and otherworldly TV show will find themselves cartwheeling back and forth and Upside Down with excitement over Easter Eggs hidden within the room(s). As a fan of immersive theater, this experience scratched the itch and exceeded expectations. Great work by the staff and game master who found a way to communicate with my team without distracting us from our mission. read more

Ghost Light was incredible! Amazing theming, satisfying puzzles, and our GM Anna was so supportive and helpful.

Mika is the best game master ever!! This was such a fun experience! My partner and I did Ghostlight and it was the perfect room for the 2 of us! We were able to get out with 2 minutes left! read more

I did the Ghostlight room. I have done a lot of escape rooms before and found this room was to be not too hard (we didn't need any clues to get out), but it had a lot of fun and unique features that was hadn't seen in other rooms. I also loved the storyline and the set; some escape room storylines don't make any sense or are vague, but I thought the story was clear and really enjoyed it. MyssTic has a second room, and I'd definitely come back and do it. read more

This was such a fun escape room. I can't wait to try them all. One of the better ones we have done. The ppl that work there are lovely as well read more

Ghost Light is our favorite escape room in NYC! The puzzels are so fun and its such a beautiful set. My husband and I completed it as a team of 2 - challening but doable! Group of 2-4 would be ideal. Montauk project is amazing for Stranger Things fans. This one was TOUGH as a group of 2, we were definintely panicking in the last room. I would reccomend a minimum of 3 for this game, probably 3-5. There are a lot of puzzels in this one that can be worked on at the same time. Both gamemasters were really nice! read more

We did the Ghost Light room and it was great! The puzzles were puzzling, production was proucting, and stories were storying! The production and effects were quite amazing! Julia was our stage ghost and she was really helpful when we got stuck! Overall great experience and would recommend! read more

This was my first time ever doing an escape room and I had more fun than expected! I was kind of afraid that I wouldn't understand the concept but it came so naturally. My boyfriend has done some escape rooms, and he said this one was by far the most intricate escape room he has done. I was not expecting it to be a three tiered experience! When we thought we were getting closer to the end, the surprises kept flowing. Laura was our host and she was so helpful, and so so sweet! She recommends having more than two players for this kind of escape room because of the intricacy. I truly enjoyed this experience and I can't wait to try the other rooms when I'm back in town! Thank you again Laura for your time! read more

Julia was an amazing game host! Really cool puzzles and a fun room! Very creative and really enjoyed it!

10/10 - one of the most fun, challenging, and well put together escape I've done in NYC

Excellent, fun immersive experience. Highly recommend! Charlie was very helpful and encouraging as well

This escape room was a fantastic experience! Eric was an awesome game master, and we had a ton of fun. I would definitely go back, and would highly recommend it! read more

Great place! Rori was a great host and game master! Did the Montauk project with Total of 3ppl. Great room, puzzles and narrative. Highly recommend for ppl who are into puzzle solving. read more

So fun and clever!! Well Produced! the operator (Julia) is great with kids if you bring one--i brought my 8 yr old! Will def do the one we didn't do soon! read more

My partner and I have been to Mysstic a few times now and absolutely loved our experience every time. Their "Ghost Light" room is probably the most aesthetically pleasing escape room I've ever done. :D This time around, though, we tried the Montauk Project - it was a lot more challenging than I expected it to be, but so much fun, and really familiar if you're a child of the 80's. Our host this time, Parker, was a delight and really fun to work with. We'll definitely be back! read more

My husband & I came here twice to do different games & we had a lot of fun. We felt like the games were challenging but not impossible for us to solve on our own. The storylines were really cool too. I've been to some escape rooms where every clue/solution was a 4 digit code to a lock... it gets repetitive! Without any spoilers all I'll say is these games had variety. The puzzles and solutions made sense with the theme too. Apologies I forget the name of who our game person was the first time, but for the second game it was Julia & she was super friendly & helpful. I will definitely come back for another game! read more

My fiancé and I have played both of their rooms and we love them. They're well designed, interesting and overall just enjoyable. The rooms are intricate and everything is well-matched for the room and the time period. The staff is also welcoming and are super supportive giving clues while you're in the room. read more

My 12-y-o and I did the Montauk Project room. It was a very well-crafted and elaborate room with an engaging storyline, and the puzzles were clever and innovative. We needed a handful of hints for some of the more challenging puzzles, and finished with 5 mins to spare. Agent Julia was awesome. Highly recommend! read more

We had a ton of fun. our guide Julia was fantastic! We solved the puzzle with 42 seconds to spare!

my wife and I had a wonderful time completing the escape room together, the tasks are very straight forward and challenging to an extent. definitely recommend going with a group to have more fun! read more

We played Ghost Light and it was EASILY my favorite room I've done in NYC (and I've done a lot). This room is so worth the hype, and our GM, Gara was amazing!!! I can't wait to come back and play the other rooms! :) read more
