This was so much fun!! We did the Freakshow room and it is HUGE!! The clues were the right level of difficult so we didn't fly through but felt appropriately challenged. We love escape rooms and this one is definitely in out top 5 of all time. Highly recommend. read more

A great escape room at a great price! It is definitely made with love. We did the immersive actor experience called Raven Guild. It was very very spooky. The puzzles are solid. And the host are amazing. The live actor has an extra element that you don't get in the traditional escape room. Go support these guys their local and they're super cool. read more

Disappointed. For $44/person, it was very underwhelming. This was probably our 15th escape room... and it was our least favorite and the most we've ever paid for one. 1) They allow up to 15 people to do one room. But since the entire escape room has to be in sequential order, there's only 1 puzzle that can be worked on at a time. Only about 4 people could work on it and everyone else just had to stand around. If they're going to allow that many people, more puzzles to solve at one time is a must or it gets boring for everyone else. Too linear for such a large group. 2) The clues were not very creative, most of the time the code was written right next to it. There are more creative ways with that many people to gather clues for the codes. 3) Clues were smeared which need to be updated so you can actually read it. 4) It was so hot in there! And I'm usually cold every where I go for reference. 5) When a door would unlock there was no sound or indication it was open which was frustrating because we were doing the right thing waiting for a door to open but no idea when it finally opened. A sound effect would be nice. 6) Speakers need to be updated, they were blaring and hard to hear 7) The tips given were what we had already solved 8) No countdown clock to know how much time we had left. 9) No signs or place to do a photo op at the end. Usually these places have signs you can hold up like "we escaped" in x amount of time. Typically the employee will take a photo and make it fun. If it were $20/person I think I'd be less irritated. It was the probably the largest escape room I've ever seen. Could easily split the room in half, and offer more escape rooms with less people in each. Basically just 1 puzzle per room felt like wasted real estate. Could have been so much cooler with the size of their escape room. Our group of 6 left not saying much. Any time I've gone with groups people are talking about how fun it was. It was just an awkward exit. read more

Awesome immersive experience, the raven room was incredible, the actress Bri was really great, the experience felt super real and the puzzles were great and had us running around right up until seconds before the end!! We felt challenged the entire time and loved the experience overall. A+ would definitely recommend! read more

It's cool, but not that hard if your looking for a hard one. The front desk people are very nice. I do not like the fact there are a lot of hints. Take a couple hints away and it should be good. read more

I've been to the Morristown Trap Door location twice now. I've lost the Witch Hunt room and won the Freakshow room (with a little over 2 minutes left!). I had a lot of fun in both rooms, even though some of the clues seemed a little over the top difficult to get. My group and I definitely needed help in both rooms, and you can't really ask for help, they offer it to you when they see you struggling (which was a good amount in my case, haha). Both rooms had great theming with a mix of video and obviously tactile clues. Some of the clues in Freakshow were a bit hard to figure out because you really had to listen to the audio in the videos and it was hard to hear certain clues when there was super loud audio all throughout the different rooms. Overall, we had a good time, but without the help of the moderator we would have never made it out in time. Some of the clues just felt impossible to interpret, even with the whole group helping out. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and welcoming and an escape room is sometimes just what you need for a different and fun experience. read more

Had a great time! A group of four of us did Witch Hunt. The intro was cool and the room was well set up. We finished with 24 minutes to spare and didn't use any hints so we could have used a bit more of a challenge, but it was super fun none the less! Great rainy day activity. Our host was awesome as well read more

Never been to an escape room prior. So I didn't know what to expect. Had a group of friends try the freak show room. It was a very challenging room and hard to figure out what the clues were. If it wasn't for the moderator or staff telling us overhead what to do after many failed attempts we would be still stuck in that room now lol. The on screen video in the beginning was useless too. Didn't find it as exciting and thrilling as others have commented. read more

Not a good experience. The instructions weren't audible and it took away from our time in trying to solve the puzzles. Have been to amazing escape room in Bloomfield and this didn't compare. read more

Played three games here including Witch Hunt, The Greatest Freakshow and the Day of the Dead games. All of them were good quality with reasonable puzzles and good effects. Gamemaster Sean was awesome as well and took the time to really interact with us. We will plan on booking at other locations! read more

My husband and I and another couple we are friends and have done escape rooms in the past with booked the witches room. As we had previously done two rooms at another location, I was excited to try a new one. We showed up and just as we were about to check in, the guy at the other desk just walked away. No, "give me a minute," just walked away. I understand he was checking on a room for another group, but all he had to say was "give me a minute." As we were only four people, and it's an eight person room, another group of four friends were able to also book our room. When the front desk guy came back, he said our room would be ready in ten minutes. When our guide came in a minute later, she said our room was actually ready now. Great! Only, it actually wasn't ready (more on that later). We were led into our room and our guide explained a few things to us, and one of the girls (the bossy one) in the other group (2 couples) asked about the levels. Apparently there is a competitive level or a "just for fun." As a group, we chose the just for fun. Bossy pants wanted the competitive level, and I should have realized then she was going to be the worst one. We entered the room and watched the video. This is something I don't understand about escape rooms who do the story on the screen - if you are going to do the story on the screen, also give us clues on the screen instead of all muffled through a loud speaker. After, we went about searching for our clues... well apparently one of the doors in the room was supposed to have been shut and we were supposed to figure out how to unlock it, but the door had been left wide open. I guess more time had been needed to set up. So, we had to leave the room and figure out how to get back in. Another issue was, we asked for a clue like 5 times before actually getting it... and then it was for something we had already opened/figured out. We managed to figure out the step we were trying to do without a clue. Also, we were allowed to use our phone flashlights. I had a love/hate feeling towards that. In past rooms I've been in, they have provided flashlights, and while they kind of suck, the phone thing sort of ruined the ambience for me. Maybe give us four lanterns instead of one. Normally, I wouldn't say this but, our group of friends figured out most of the clues and did most of the leg work. The pregnant girl in the other group was actually nice and stuck around trying to help me. Her bossy friend clearly never graduated past kindergarten. She actually grabbed clues and things out of my friends hand. More than once. Then she would get bored and move to another room. I honestly wish you could score your teammates if they are strangers, because she should have been labeled "doesn't play well with others." Clearly she spells "teamwork" with an "I," and she didn't even figure out anything! We did get out of the room in record time, despite bossy mcbosserson, who actually kept insisting we do the last clue her way (her way was very wrong), and had issues listening to others ideas, including her own friends. Just want to add - the other players did not impact this review. read more

What are you doing tonight? A dull dinner or drinks? A boring night of bowling? Try something different... get off the couch and get your ass over to Trap Door. Enter this Morristown store front and be transformed to another world.... A crime has been committed in the game that me and three friends played. After sitting through a short video explaining what has happened and what we need to do to solve this mystery we entered "the game" Locked doors... puzzles.. hidden clues... with an hour to solve the mystery we were challenged to work together to brainstorm, decipher riddles and open our minds to think outside the box in an alternate reality. When we were stumped or heading in the complete wrong direction, we were fed clues through mysterious disembodied voices to help us on to the right track.. We all had a blast doing something completely new. The place is well set up and maintained with cool effects.. secret doors and I wont say anymore to spoil your "game". Give this place a try for fun and games that will challenge your wits. read more

Trap Door - Escape Games Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

This was originally a rather negative review of the new Ripper room. While I stand by not enjoying the room, I spoke to the company after posting this and they explained the story behind some of the issues we experienced happened because it was a brand new room, and assured me they would not recur for most people. This seems a reasonable explanation to me and hopefully others will enjoy the room more than we did. read more

AmaZing time !!! Alyssa was phenomenal! Would definitely recommend a double header and come back with all your family and friends. We love it here read more

Trap Door - Escape Games Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

This was terrible. We weren't given clues, the members of the company kept sneaking up on us. The instruments that were supposed to be released for us to complete the room didn't work. We were left to look like idiots for 1 hour while this company sat on the money we paid and didn't help us fix their broken game. Will never come back here or an escape room ever again. read more

Great place, very challenging there was a great host Was really i treating and unique room

I wish I could give his place 10 stars. This is by far the best Escape Room I've been to and I have been to many rooms(over 40 and still going strong). First of all, I'll start by saying I've been to this location twice for both of their rooms. I would urge anyone who is new to escape rooms or escape artists to come here, it's a must do. There sets are the most realistic I've ever experienced. I don't want to give anything away but the game really BRINGS YOU IN. You have no problem immersing yourself into the plot because you become the plot. The game masters interaction is unlike any I've seen, very unique and bring an added value to this company. I can't remember their names but both times we've visit the game masters have been nothing but accommodating and knowledgeable. Trap Door has another offer were you and your friends can complete puzzles for prizes of wine (ummm can you say PERFECT). I can't wait to try. Their F5 is the most live and interactive and realistic game I've ever encountered. F5 will probably be the most memorable experience I've had with escape rooms. I will be back definitely to visit their other location in Redbank, NJ (almost an hit away from me) and new rooms at the Morristown location :) read more

Our family has done a handful of escape rooms, this was the most fun. What made it the most fun was the fact you weren't just set in one room and you some physical challenges/obstacles. We called before we booked to see if the course would be good for our family - boys 8 & 12. Our 8 year old had a great time - but we had to keep him on task - I would suggest calling to see which course is the right fit if you have younger children. Staff was friendly too! read more

Definitely different than any other escape room I've done (at 20+ and climbing). F5 is the only physically challenging room I've done. The theme was carried out well, puzzles were challenging and we all had a lot of fun. Great room. read more

For anyone booking tickets, the minimum amount of people is two. So book two in case anything happens to your party because there are no refunds. This is my only negative about this place. Sadly my aunt was hospitalized on December 24 and I had bought tickets for us to go on Monday the 27th. She was still in the hospital so her and her daughter obviously weren't going and the escape room didn't care. Their policy is No refunds. Well my aunt is coming out of the hospital today with a brain tumor and we're out $80. Now besides that.. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by my escape room experience (witch room). Well done, multiple rooms, but the workers don't give a hoot if you've lost your arm. Just buy the minimum tickets and pay more when you get there. read more

Had a fun time and liked that the rooms were sequential! Definitely recommend this escape room. Not TOO hard and not too easy

Stole our money, they let us go through the entire hour knowing we didn't have the proper equipment to even begin the puzzle. Gave us unhelpful clues and accused us of breaking equipment. I've done a number of escape rooms, this was far and away the worst one I've ever done. Unsure if it was because of the employees at the time or if this is a pattern. DO NOT waste your money here. read more

Just left there with my daughter & her best friend, we played Witch Hunt & it was AWESOME! I've done a few other "escape rooms" but none were like this! Trap Door fully submersed us into the story & is not your typical solve a few puzzles move to the next room & your done. They take escape rooms to another level & we cannot wait to go back and do their F5 escape. Thank you for a memorable time! read more

Trap Door - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - Escape Games Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Played their new Freak show room. Hit a preventable game master error that the owner Anthony couldn't have been more accommodating about. I've done all of their rooms and have to say their story and attention to story details is like no other. It's nice to know the owner stands behind his work and I'd say it's worth the price point. 2 hours was so nice and really let them create a unique experience. Cant recommend enough, great rooms and service beyond any other company. read more

A horrible, horrible experience. Many pieces of the game were broken and we were blamed for the damage, as well as given hints that had no connection to the game we were playing. Unprofessional and disappointing. Will never go back here or to another escape room, ruined the experience for all. read more

This review is for the Freak Show room. When we were led into the room, we were told to watch a video on the rules and then there would be another video and our time would start. When the video of the rules came on, there was no sound. Eventually it sort of came to an end and we wondered if that was it. There was no timer to indicate the time had started, or for that matter, how much time remained. I do not want to give away specific puzzles but we found just about everything to be an experience in frustration and futility. When we answered something correctly (I assume it was correctly?) a sound bite would begin to play in another area. Once it played, we didn't know how to make it play again, so if we missed it (and we frequently did because all of the parts of the room were very loud) the clue was now gone. Since we found ourselves increasingly with no idea what to do without being able to hear the clues, we requested a clue from the game master. It did not come. We spent several minutes waving our arms and asking for a clue. Eventually we were given one but we found ourselves back in the same spot of not even knowing what we had just achieved by doing the puzzle "correctly." Eventually we got to a point where we needed another clue. We waved our arms. We yelled for a clue. We called the game master by name. Nothing. At this point, we were completely frustrated and did not know what to do next, so we walked out. As it turns out, we had 17 minutes left but we had no way of knowing that. I have completed nearly 100 escape rooms and have never been so frustrated that I simply left without time running out or solving the room. If this was my first experience with an escape room, it would've been my last. I am hesitant to leave a terrible review but this was really not a fun experience at all. read more

My group bought out a private play of the Witch Hunt room and it was fantastic! I also proposed to my long time girlfriend while playing the room. I want to personally thank Austin for working with me to set up a perfect moment to use a clue to set up the proposal. She was a fantastic game master and really added to the experience. The room itself was creepy especially considering how close it was to Halloween. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

This is a really awesome escape room! I did the Witch Hunt experience which was a lot of fun. The ambience was spooky and the puzzles were just the right amount of challenge. We finished with 1 minute left. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We had a great experience there today with the Witcher Hunt game. The rooms were very well themed, puzzles were at a challenging but reasonable difficulty, and the employees were friendly. This was my first experience at the Morristown location. I've done three games at Red Bank, and I recommend either for a great time. read more

Trap Door in Morristown is AWESOME! We've been here 4 times and can't get enough! Thaddeus is always super friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back again! read more

Had fun with the Family doing The Greatest Freakshow room and the Witch Hunt. Definitely coming back and doing Day of the Dead here as well!

Awesome escape room! Had a blast and was challenged more than adequately. Also loved the game master Emma! We got out with 8 minutes left and the hints were awesome!!! Will be back, already booked! read more

Great! We've been to a number of escape rooms and this one is by far the best we've been to so far. Would definitely recommend to a friend or stranger alike. read more

This was a great time with challenging puzzles. Would highly recommend to anyone curious to try it.

Emma was by far the best game master. She was helpful, knowledgeable, funny, and very comforting. She is by far the best game master/god ever (for escape rooms). read more

Probably the best one I've been to, and I've been to a LOT. Most escape rooms make you stay in a room or two and solve some puzzles, but this one actually has you running up and down things, crawling, etc. Its the most interactive one I've done. It is a little challenging though, and I'm not entirely sure a young kids would be able to get the puzzles, but teens and up are sure to enjoy their time. read more

First experience doing an escape room. It was awesome-challenging but able to be solved. It was larger than I expected with more than one room. Clues were helpful. Highly recommend it. read more

We decided to try one of these out for the first time and I'm so glad that we came here!! Excellently constructed room, very immersive environment, and really fun stories/challenges to complete. Team "Horse Lovers Anonymous" read more

Fun immersive experience with challenging puzzles and storylines. Puzzles and Corks changes every month and is always a great time.

Did Puzzles and Corks for my friends birthday and it was so much fun! The game was fun and original, hard at times but you can always get a clue. The only time I want to "work" for my wine! read more
