• We stumbled upon 59:59 while looking for something to do in Manhattan. The lines at TKTS were way too long and we didn't want to walk too far. Their Harold Square location (right near Empire State Bldg) was very convenient.
  
  This was a first time experience for us all and we did the Dream Experience with our family of 5 and another group of 3. And everyone loved it. WE DID IT with 20 minutes to spare and felt elated! We all felt it surpassed our expectations and have not problems recommending.
  
  I must say that at first I felt it was a little hokey, and the "set" design a little low budget, but it was the experience and challenge we came for it these were top notch. The puzzle was well designed and the game master good at providing clues without making it too easy or having us get too frustrated.
  
  The booking experience was easy and the staff was excellent. I had an issue booking online where it looked like there was not enough spots for our party in the room and after calling (yes they answered the phone!!!) they helped me reserve it.

• We had a really fun time here. 2 15 yr olds and 2 20 yr olds with parents. We were in the dream themed room and would never have left without the helpful hints on the tv (as she saw we were stummped) It may even deserve 5 stars but it went so fast. All in all a fun new adventure and the hints help avoid any frustration.

• My squad had so much fun with their Dreams themed room! Although the room seemed very challenging on first glance, the puzzles were very well thought out and actually makes sense all the way through. We escaped with about 5 minutes left!!! I liked their method of communicating hints, which was typing them on a screen. It's better than using a walkie talkie that gives you a choppy and scratchy feedback. I've done a few escape the rooms in the city and this place is by far, one of the best! :)

• Very accommodating staff! Completed the Chamber of Dreams with lots of time to spare. Great option to spend a night out with the squad!

• I organized a team outing at 59:59 room escape. There were 16 of us and we played at two rooms, the Sherlock Holmes and the three pigs. Starting from the reservation process, the staff was very helpful in arranging the event and coordinating the time. He answered lots of my questions, recommended rooms and helped us to start two rooms at the same time (so we could have a competition!)
  
  The rooms were super fun. You need to solve the problems step by step. The questions are challenging but fun. You won't be scared by the problems but they definitely stimulate exciting brainstorms. For every 15 minutes or so, there will be a hint shown on the screen so you won't be stuck at one point forever. Teamwork was also very important in playing in the room successfully. We were lucky to have people in our team who are good at different skills.
  
  At the end of the game (either when time is up or you manage to get out of the room), the clue master will walk you through every puzzle in the room and tell you the solution. It was fun to look back and checked how you did it.
  
  Both rooms have very interesting designs. My favorite part was that the clues are somehow linked together, which will guide you toward the final solution. Also, some puzzles have multiple solutions. It was fun to see how the logics interweave together.
  
  All of us thought that the room escape was one of the best events in our department. You got to work together with your friends/colleagues and have fun together. The best moment was when your team was out of the room while the other team was not! We will definitely be back for the Christmas tree room!

• I was there a month ago and went back for the second time last week. Tried two of their three escape games and found both great fun, well-designed and thought provoking. I really like how each room has a theme and how puzzles were revealed. It is obvious that the owner gave lots of thoughts into his games.
  
  You will love this if you like riddles and enjoy a fun challenge. It is also a great icebreaker for someone who you have not met or getting to know deft no regrets and this will give you a sense of achievement if you are able to ESCAPE!!

• I went to 59:59 a month ago with a friend and we both had a great time. The clues are challenging, which creates a nice bonding experience with the group of people in the room with you. The game masters can also see when you're struggling with a clue and are great at giving hints at just the right time.
  
  Richard, Vivian and the whole staff do an awesome job of making sure everyone has a great time. The group pictures at the end are a nice touch.
  
  I definitely plan to go again with friends to try other rooms.
