These rooms are challenging enough when you're sober, but trying to use "margarita logic" to solve puzzles? Complete and utter failure. ​We didn't even come close to escaping, but we had the absolute best time. The staff was great and the room was super immersive (even if we were just wandering around confused for most of it). If you're looking for a hilarious night out with friends in White Plains, this is it. Just don't expect to actually win if you hit the bar first! FYI...​The staff kept giving us "pity hints," but we were too far gone to even follow those. Street (paid)parking and paid parking lot all around

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.

It wasn't busy while we were there but it was earlier in the afternoon. The waiting is big and it's nicely decorated in a way that fits and adds to the vibe. The room was good and our game master was decent but it little bit too intense. I'll be back if they change out some rooms.

Overall the staff member was very nice (and didn't rush us) and we had fun bumbling around, but the…read moreactual room (Sherlock) was one dimensional in many ways. We didn't solve the puzzle in the hour time and used 4 of 5 clues. And there was no A/C so there was a loud fan in the room the entire time. On a Sunday morning we were the first early bird group to arrive. Located on the third floor by Bath and Body Works, the doors opened a bit before official store opening at 11 am. There are various bookings throughout the day/evening and you'll be prompted to sign a waiver. The actual story could have been more direct and clear especially when you only have an hour for the experience and you're trying to maximize time and accommodate different reading levels. And they had an overemphasis on needing to unlock various locks. The room and mystery lacked depth and it was confusing which clues applied to which lock. It would have made more sense if the clues had been more sequential and only applied to a specific lock in the vicinity. Some of the clues also seemed a little silly. They could also have designed the experience to use props or walls in the room more. I'm guessing all the rooms are designed in this way. Pricing could also have been more clear; ordering online includes an online ordering fee so you should probably call. There's a slight discount for 4 or more people and for veterans. And if you sign up for their rewards program you save 10% but each person has to sign up, and they have to ring each person up separately to apply the rewards so then you don't get the volume discount. While they do have locations in various states, I can't imagine visiting 5 times in a year to qualify for one free visit. Their automated purchasing system just wasn't very customer friendly.

Okay... I read the reviews beforehand and still decided to give Alcatraz a try. Honestly, I wish I…read morehadn't. The room is SO small, extremely hot, and basically just one room with what felt like 20 locks. There's no second room or much of an experience beyond solving the locks. To make matters worse, the rooms are separated by what appears to be a very cheap divider, so you can hear the other groups the entire time. The other team was so loud that we could barely hear the clues and instructions coming through the outdated tablet. It completely took away from the experience. We ended up winning with 20 minutes left, which honestly says a lot about how simple the room was. Save your money and go to Puzzle Parlor in White Plains instead the experience there is SO much better. The one positive thing I can say is that the employee working there was absolutely wonderful. He was so sweet, helpful, and genuinely kind. I honestly felt bad for him having to hear all the negative comments about the place because he was such a doll and did his best. Other than the amazing employee, the whole place felt old, worn out, raggedy, and in desperate need of an upgrade. Then there was an almost $20 credit card fee, which made the experience even more frustrating. Unfortunately, I really can't recommend this place. Not worth the money at all.

Escapology Escape Rooms Haunted House Review: Haunts and…read moreHorror Reviews We were able to play the newest Escape Room at Escapology in Danbury, CT called Haunted House. This one has a backstory and atmosphere that is darker and more ominous than a basic scary mansion theme. It is an immersive experience of being in an old house that is haunted and tormented by evil spirits and the tragic end of the family that lived there. It packs a lot in a small space with some jump scares and it is probably best for a group of 4 to 6 people. Some of the puzzles can be challenging so it's good to have help. The final stages of the game really elevate the experience as your time ticks down and urgency increases. The tasks to be solved become more sinister in nature but also were the most fun part. The detail and atmosphere really put this one over the top. Highly recommended if you enjoy spookier types of games and experiences.

Myself and my boys had been to one other escape room experience (in Albany, I believe), but this one was above and beyond our previous experience. It reminded me a little of the MagiQuest at a Great Wolf Lodge, but better. We were two moms and 4 teen/tween boys and us moms enjoyed it as much as the kids. We started with the easiest adventure - Dragon's Curse. We had an hour and we completed it in about 40 minutes. We will definitely be back to experience some of the more challenging options!

The game masters were very accommodating and started us right away and there was no wait in between each rooms. The lobby is an open area with just the entrance to the three rooms. You enter into the same hallways but get debriefed at a different door each time depending on the game you are playing. It's definitely a more fun experience if you attend with people that you know share the same momentum and goal. Purchasing all 3 games is the most worth it, but when it gets busy you may have to share the room w/ random people or have to wait in between rooms. We're glad that we decided to try all 3 and receive the full experience. As for the rooms, if you like Disney rides, you are going to love these! The high tech quality of the props, storyline, and surround sound system implemented were all state-of-the-art. One minute, you'll feel like you're in an Egyptian tomb, the next in a futuristic spaceship, and then entering a hundred year old castle. The puzzles were not hard, some were actually pretty much geared towards kids. This is not your typical puzzle-heavy escape room. You are really here to experience a movie set and immerse yourself into it like an actor on set. We enjoyed all 3 rooms, but if we had to pick a favorite, I would say the "Tomb" is up there. They will give you a score at the end, pending on the time you spend in there, how many errors you've made, and if you used any of the clues or not (the clues are "voluntarily" given pending on the time you spend at a specific location because remember these are 30 minute rooms so the game will push you along and will not let you be stuck at a place for too long). Check out our proud scores below. Maybe not the castle one.. *For more info, check out my Yelp profile.

We did the drive through corn maze and and haunted houses. So much fun! (All adults here 30+) and we all had a great time. You first arrive to the drive through 20 mins prior to your selected time- wait just a little while which i liked because everyone goes in one by one and this is cool- plenty of space between cars!you tune your radio to the given station and drive through the attraction. Awesome set up- awesome actors - awesome experience. Lights off windows down and non stop spoOkiiness!! Following that you are directed Into a parking lot- park and you can enter the haunted houses. They are all little individual " panic rooms" very cool! All different themes in each house separated by a corn maze. After all of that you are led into a little village where there is a stage and they do magic performances- along with some food stands and the cutest little trinket store where we got some cool vintagey Knick knacks! I have to say, for an adult this was a lot of fun for our group of 4. There was no " bumping " into other people's groups or little kids ruining the time for us. The lines look kind of long but with social distancing implemented it's really not and you move right along! Not like haunted house ma use to be years ago when it was just chaotic and lines were insane.. The set up was so smooth and easy to follow ensuring you don't miss a thing ! From one attraction to the next just smooth transitions. It was definitely worth the hour ride! They did an amazing job with all of the decor and set ups you can tell they put a lot of work and care into their scare factor. Will definitely be back !!!! Great job & Thanks so much!!!!

The large space houses 2 escape rooms. They are related and tell a story so there is a sequence to what room comes first. This first room was challenging but not impossible. An early mistake sort of locked us out of moving forward for a few minutes which messed us up in the end as we did not escape. The challenge to the room is partially because it is not linear game play. This automatically makes things more difficult (or at least for me!). The story line is detailed and intriguing. The puzzles are unique- you're not going to find a ton of locks and keys. These are interactive, interesting and higher tech puzzles than just about anywhere else we've been. I won't say more because I don't want to ruin anything for potential players! I highly recommend giving this escape room a try!
