Latest reviews of immersive escape rooms in New York
Alien Encounter is the only game that I played at Clue Chase, but I have played many other escape games before. This room was one of the largest I've ever been in. The hint system is really unique and the puzzles are definitely imaginative and tech forward. My biggest problem with the room was that the clues were sometimes really vague and the game flow was almost all linear. So while the room can physically fit 12 people, there aren't enough simultaneous activities to keep that many people engaged. It's probably best with a total of 4-6 players.

Had a wonderful time as a family. We played Operation Dive and did it as a private event. For 3 people it was priced competitively to have only 3 players. The room was very challenging and the Game Master did an incredible job of keeping the movement and the flow going. There was some minor damage in our room from the previous group. The Game Master negated this challenge and make that "gap" seamless for us. The game was engaging and the staff was incredibly friendly. Don't let the lobby fool you, there is an incredible amount of thought and time put into this experience.

In our group of 6, half were experienced, half were first timers. We chose John Doe because of the unique theme, despite the high difficulty rating. Definitely creeped out by the dim lighting (your smartphone flashlight is a must), background music and creepy props. We did use all 3 clues, and escaped with 9 minutes to spare. A good challenge, for sure. And Adam was a great host. Highly recommend this business and this room.

The staff were very professional and I was very pleased with their service. Originally we booked the detective room but we wanted to switch to this one in the last minute. The concept was good but the execution was poor. Puzzles weren't difficult but they were extremely frustrating because their machines were extremely sensitive and there wasn't much of an indication if anything was opened. The game also lacked some sort of flow. You didn't really have to work together to solve anything so if you're looking for a group building experience then this wouldn't be my top choice.

One of the better escape rooms I've done and I have done 10+. The Operation Dive is their newest and most techy room. It was a great design and very immersive and challenging, with unique puzzles. Highly recommend it and I will be back to try others.

Went for a team-building event and loved it! We had a group of 9 which was full but fit for both the subway and submarine rooms. Our group had a mix of some with experience with escape rooms and other first-timers.
The rooms are very well done and challenging but fun! We had so much fun with the subway we decided to take on the submarine right after. I wish they had more rooms. Loved the “high-tech” aspect of the rooms. One of the best I’ve been to.
