Eight people is a reasonable amount of players for escape rooms. Everyone will find something to do: strategizing, taking charge, searching for clues, solving puzzles, cheering the team on, counting down the minutes, wandering from room to room or chatting up the game master. Book one of the rooms in Albany and find out what will your contribution be!
We recently visited the treasure island escape room. There was five of us of which two were young teens. It was something to do 50 minutes of not knowing what to do but we did manage to find all the keys and opened all the boxes. Our host was Janessa who was very nice and did explain everything to us. After being there I do have some suggestions -- if there was more pirate painting on the wall as in like anything affiliated with pirates and maybe when you open a chest there would be a pirate speaking like aha you found the chest matey just to add a little excitement to the process. This was definitely something to do that we enjoyed with our family with all that's going on in the covid-19 world. Hats off to Janessa as she was excellent at her job and very sociable and fun

My son had his birthday party at 5 Wits Albany and loved it. All the boys had a great time, their favorite adventure was Drago's Castle. Lexi was a great host!

This place is amazing. Did all three rooms with my friend and we nailed 2 outta 3. We are excited to go back and nail that last room that we failed at though!! These rooms are literally so much fun! I've never been more excited ever. The Deep Space one is by far my favorite. So excited to go back and do the rooms again. They also have an excellent staff on site. Very friendly and super helpful!

The Tomb was my favorite! The staff really helped us get into character for the escape room. It was so fun that after the first escape room we insisted on doing all three rooms. I highly recommend spending an afternoon with your friends or family at 5 Wits!

Did this tonight as a date activity with my husband. It was just the 2 of us and we had a great time doing the Tomb Adventure. We had so much fun we did Deep Space right after it and did really well (especially for only 2 people). Didn't have to join any other parties of people, which was nice since we left the kids with a sitter and wanted alone time. Very happy with the experience and will be back.

Just finished entering the Tomb of the Pharaoh with my 9-year-old brother. It really felt like I was in a tomb with Indiana Jones! You think you know what to expect but you go in there and you're always on your toes! We'll be back for another adventure for sure!
