Don't worry: this is not a history lesson, so you won't need to write a report about what happened in 1861 or remember the names of all British kings. In these escape rooms, you will be transported to a different era. A meaningful plot will make your heart race a little faster, and the atmosphere will stimulate the thought process. Will you change the course of history?
Latest reviews of historic escape rooms in New York
Did the Power Surge room today with three adults and one tween and it was fantastic. Very clever, well-designed, and challenging without being frustrating. We didn’t escape but get very far and probably would have finished with another 10 minutes. Can’t wait to go back to try their other rooms!

Went with one child and three adults just to try something to do. The reviews on here actually spurred me to be a little more excited than I otherwise would have been. It was a blast. The effort to get out of the room is not easy, but it is cool as heck trying to work it out with people in your group. You work together, have a great time, and have 'aha' moments when you figure some of the tougher things out. The people there couldn't have been nicer as well.

There were 9 of us in the room - all family and various ages from 21 to 63 and we had a blast! Only 1 of us ever went through an escape room before so we were definitely novices. Thank goodness for the game master because we might still be in there without the great clues she provided to us. And to our surprise we got out with about 1 minute to spare! We all want I do another one again soon!

We were a group of 6 64 year old women. This was so much fun. You may ask questions prior to entering the escape room. It is not claustrophobic at all. You do not need to have physical brawn but you do need mental brawn.
And yes we escaped!
Fun Fun Fun!

This was the first time I went to an escape room. I loved it. It was so fun. We made it with three minutes to spare. We had a party and the guy was super nice. I strongly and highly recommend.

I went with a group of 10 teachers, and we escaped with 24 minutes to spare. The puzzles were not too difficult, and at no point were we frustrated that we weren't making any progress. We didn't even need to use our 3 clues. But the puzzles were still interesting enough. If you have 10 people be sure to call for a code to discount the price (cheaper than groupon). Would definitely do another room at this location.
