    I feel like this 5-star review was earned simply because we beat the clock and escaped the room…read morewith only 4 minutes to spare . The excitement alone probably boosted the rating lol. All In Adventures is located inside Crossgates Mall in Albany. It's easiest to access by parking near the JCPenney entrance and taking the escalator up to the second floor near Zara. The space itself is a little unassuming from the outside, but the real razzle-dazzle begins once you enter the rooms. You get to choose from about 9 or 10 escape room options, and our team chose Black Ops, which I definitely recommend. Our host, Zach, was friendly, informative, and did a great job explaining the rules. One thing I really appreciated was that they don't actually lock the rooms because they care about guests not feeling claustrophobic. I thought that was a really considerate touch. As a team, and with a few hints lol, we successfully completed the mission. I had an absolute blast. Also, this was the first escape room I've ever successfully escaped from, so that was definitely another win for me lol. After the room, your team can take photos in front of a green screen. I will say this area could use a little improvement because the props were a bit lacking, but honestly, outside of that, I have zero complaints. So yes, five stars... partly for my ego's sake lol.

    I went here with some friends and it was great I don't understand the reviews it's not like 5 wits…read moreyou are in a room and you spend the time solving clues which help you unlock locks throughout the room I recommend

    My friend I completed the "Serial Killer Sleuth" room last night and had an amazing time! We were…read moreextremely impressed with the props, clues, and our interaction with the member of the staff that was supervising us. The challenge level was perfect (a bit of a challenge, but not frustratingly difficult) and we enjoyed that we could work on tasks both separately and together instead of having a linear progression of clues where you work on just one task at a time in order to move on. My experience with Tru Escape was so much better than with another escape room that I went to recently and I can't wait to return to try a few of the other rooms!

    Came to Tru Escape with high expectations from previous escape rooms. However, I was very…read moredisappointed. Previously, when visiting escape rooms, the host was very enthusiastic when telling the introduction to the specific rooms. This host was not that enthusiastic however. We were visiting the "Outbreak" room and the host just gave a brief intro and said you're looking for an antidote, your time starts now. Not only was the host disappointing but the room overall. It was a small room with terrible clues, and in order to get a key out of a test tube you were supposed to use something just anything, the host later said girls use their hair mostly. This was disappointing as most escape rooms have some sort of object that leads to finding the next object. The locks on the doors were also not very good as we had the correct combination but the host had to come put it in bc the lock was so tricky. Overall, this escape room was a disappointment and was not worth the $25/person it costed. Would not recommend!!

    I had never done an escape room before, and honestly had no interest to the point where I was…read morepassionately against it when they became popular several years ago. I truly love me some puzzles, but you want my people-hating, claustrophobic self to PAY to get locked in a room with people??? No, thanks. Then a couple of months ago, my coworkers bullied me (lol) into going to an escape room with them. I honestly didn't know what to expect, and was dreading the entire thing for days leading up to the appointment. Escape Time doesn't look like much from the outside - I was extremely unimpressed. But as soon as you step inside, you realize the true meaning of, "it's bigger on the inside" (iykyk). The front desk area is pretty spacious and had some interesting and fun decorations. I appreciate the little best times/high score board. I think if I did more rooms, I'd love to get my name one a high score board somewhere. The staff was very friendly, and we met our game master (it's been a while :( I forgot her name ). She was honestly kind of amazing. She gave a thorough introduction, and she was great at reading our group throughout our game. She kept hints to a minimum as she could tell that we wanted to figure things out for ourselves. I have to say, I was extremely surprised by how much fun I had. The puzzles were nothing at all like I expected, and there were a lot of nifty surprise elements. I really appreciated how they paid attention to small details and crafted those details into the story/puzzle. I ended up having such a fantastic time, I went back a second time last weekend. We had a different game master this time (Liam), but he was also just as great as the previous one. I don't know how Escape Time finds these employees, but they made both experiences incredibly pleasant and smooth. For my second visit, I walked away feeling the same sense of appreciation for all the fine details. I'm obviously being vague, but that's to save from ruining any of the fun surprises in store for you at Escape Time! Honestly, if you never thought you'd do an escape room, I'd check this place out. I think a lot of it has to do with who you go with too. Pick a couple of people you don't hate collaborating with, and give the place a chance - I was personally very pleasantly surprised, and excited to come back to try all of the other games here.
