Thriller City

The Gauntlet is a disappointing game, because it has so much potential and a visually engaging beginning. The set design for the first room is top notch, feeling like a gothic rock hideout, while the subsequent sets are far less compelling. The puzzles are the worst element of all, given the fact they are mostly quite confusing implementations of simple puzzles, which makes the game frustrating and unpleasant. I wouldn't waste my money on this one.

Went as a part of a staff workshop and had a great time trying to escape. I've done several escape rooms, and this one felt unique. The entire place had a cool feel, not just the rooms themselves. The room setups were really cool as well. We escaped the Penitentiary - loved the concept, but not the Da Vinci. Would definitely go back with friends and try the other two rooms.

The Penitentiary

New York

This is one of the most interesting challenges I got to do with my friends in the past year or two. They all had a blast, It's fun, it's unpredictable. It tests your intellect and intuition. It's just a great activity for young and old alike.

We did the DaVinci Escape Room. It was 4 of us. We were given 60 minutes and a clue at 30 minutes. It's totally safe and monitored by staff.

Come prepared with a small flashlight, to avoid cell phone use. Wear sneakers and comfy cloth.

Challenge yourself. Have fun!

Da Vinci

New York

We came with 9-year-old kids and they were absolutely blown away by how much fun it was! They were ecstatic. We did figure out how to get out of the Lost Treasure after grabbing all the gold from the chest. So. We, as parents, were superheroes for finding such a treasure of entertainment. They were heroes of their own, after all, they got to do the key parts of the puzzle.

Everyone had fun.

Game was a little challenging for some parts and very easy for other parts. A decent storyline and a good amount of decoys kept you on your feet. We were able to escape in 45 min, while the ending was a little anticlimactic, it was still fun overall
