Description:

Light-hearted, nostalgic, and playful, Playground is a favorite of both first-timers and enthusiasts. Your game will start in a classroom where you’ll have to finish all of your assignments before the end of the day, or you can forget about summer break. And these assignments are unlike anything you actually encountered in school. Playground was designed for up to 12 players and is an epic team building experience.

LiangyFebruary 28, 2025

2 of us played The Playground which anything under 4 people for that role is a Level 9 difficulty! We beat it with just under 2 minutes to spare and our game master, Drea, was AMAZING! She was so fun & encouraging. The room is SUPER fun & I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys escape rooms.

YeseniaJanuary 12, 2025

We had a great time doing the Playground room and would definitely recommend giving this place a shot! We did have a minor issue, but Alec, the manager, was super quick to address it. They really go above and beyond. A+ customer service!

KevanMarch 2, 2024

My family and I went here for my brother's birthday and we did The Playground, which was the most active escape room we did. everyone enjoyed it. we are most definitely coming back.

StephMay 17, 2024

We did the playground- it was challenging but so so fun. Had kids ranging from 11-17 and everyone was able to participate!

TammyJuly 12, 2024

Our family of 4 (kids aged 10 and 7) really loved The Playground escape room. It was challenging and we didn't finish in time, but everyone was able to contribute to solving the clues and we all had a blast. Everyone at The Escape Game NYC was super nice and helpful as well (especially when we had to reschedule our appointment due to an illness). Wish we lived closer so we could go back again soon!

MatthewJune 26, 2024

This place is brilliant, if you want to have fun doing an escape room with your kids, do the playground school one, it's challenging and distracting for the kids, so it frees the adults up to do the game.

JoshFebruary 5, 2024

Julia was a great host!! Playground was fun

KevinApril 8, 2024

Had a amazing time, everyone was friendly and incredibly welcoming. I escaped the playground with 3 of my friends. We were celebrating my birthday and the employees went out of their way to not only hand make a card but sign it as well. We had a lovely time would absolutely come back.

RayJuly 9, 2024

Wendel was fantastic with our kids on the Playground escape room great experience.

SpencerMay 29, 2024

Super fun! The Playground is a really awesome escape room and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

MichaelJune 21, 2024

This was a great time! We did the playground and could not have been more fun

FortuneApril 2, 2024

My wife, my teenage son, and myself recently did the playground. It was extremely fun, and required teamwork. I would definitely recommend this place.

arodApril 24, 2023

I’ve done almost every room here, and they’re ALL great, but the Playroom is my favorite. It’s fun and different. 10/10

MelissaApril 24, 2023

My friends and I did the rugrats escape room and while we didn’t make it out, we still had a lot of fun! Staff was also very friendly.

WilliamApril 24, 2023

The Escape Game is national chain with locations in many different states.

My family of 4 (wife, 10-year old, and 9-year old) just completed the Playground escape room. The children love the room because they were able to climb and run around. The theme makes you feel like you are in class again. There is a lot to do in the room so I recommend having a larger group. We really enjoyed our time there, and it is an excellent room so be sure to book early to make sure that you get your preferred time slot.

A final shout out to Alec and Anastasia and the rest of the TEG staff for giving us an amazing experience!

QuanOctober 14, 2022

We were 2 adults and 3 teens and did the Playground game. Though Covid is less of a worry than it was over the past 2 years, I was concerned about sharing an enclosed space with strangers so was happy that we had the ability to buy out session at a discount to make it private.

It's a great activity for different age groups / multiple generations to do together and have fun.

Everyone had a great time and we'll definitely be back to try a different game in the future.

JoanneAugust 7, 2022

I’ve done a ton of these and this room exceeded them all! I’ve done Playground and Gold Rush here and they are both excellent. Come ready to think and explore- but absolutely COME!!! You won’t be disappointed:)

SingerSamanthaDecember 2, 2019

My group did Playground. We are veteran escape room players. Absolutely loved the production value of this room. The puzzles were all unique and fun. I finished but wanted it to keep going. One of the best rooms I have ever done.

aaprice09November 11, 2019

As a first time escaper, I had no idea what to expect! Nerves got the best of me, but the TEG team instantly eased my worries. Their warm and inviting smiles made it easy for me to loosen up. We chose the playground room, and it was the perfect choice! All the colors, puzzles and games brought me back in time. The setting of the room makes it hard to believe you are not actually in a classroom. A lot of thought went into crafting such a cool room. It was fun to be a kid again!

jennyferssNovember 9, 2019

We have done over 100 escape rooms. The staff was amazing and complementary. Sam was our clue master and she was excellent. Playground was so much fun for a family with kids. Our twins 6 yrs old were able to be helpful for most of the room, and had things to do if they lost interest in clue solving. A variety of clues kept us entertained, and the setting and theme were so connected. It was rated 6/10 difficulty, and I found it both difficult and yet sensible. We purchased a bunch of gift cards afterward for 20% off to come back and do the other rooms.

Sage242424January 14, 2020

I was in a group of 4 people tackling the "Playground" room and we all had a great time finding our way through the puzzles. I really liked how they made you work together. Loved the elementary school flavor, and the board at the front of the room that does a great job keeping you motivated. We only needed a few hints and since we made it with 2 minutes to spare. Can't wait to try the rest of the rooms!
