Latest reviews of prison break escape rooms in New York
I am an alumni of probably 30 rooms by now in several countries, and this one is not among the good ones on my list.
A good puzzle should be challenging, because it requires creativity, intelligence, etc. A bad puzzle is a puzzle you know how to solve early on, but waste a lot of time due to technicalities, reliance on luck, or ill-execution. This room had one or two good puzzles and too many bad ones in my view. I agree with other reviews that the set is well executed, but I'm afraid it is not enough.

My first time doing an escape room, and I LOVED it! I had honestly never been interested in trying one before. I imagined that I would be standing around useless, not knowing what to do, and not enjoying the time, but it wasn't like that at all! We did the Jailbreak. It was REALLY HARD. There were 3 of us, and we were all working really hard the whole time, we thought we were solving so many clues and getting so close, but in the end we were pretty far (probably not even half way!) from solving it. But that didn't really matter to me, it was a really fun activity, and I would totally try another one.

My friends and I came here for the last game of the night on a whim. We did jailbreak and it was really fun! You're split randomly into two groups and placed in two adjacent jail cells. You need to use your wits and work together because there will be clues in one cell that is used for the other cell and vice versa. Teamwork and communication is especially important since not only is there a time constraint, but you don't know what clues you have that may be helpful to your teammates.
They also have a special discount if you decide you want to try another room the day of! I would've loved to do that, but unfortunately there were no more games the night I went since we were in the last slot =(. I can't wait to come back here and try the other escape rooms!

Tried out PanIQ Escape Room since it was new and I was not let down! Having done over 30+ escape rooms, it is definitely going down as one of our top favorite rooms. Everything is well thought out and detailed. Props to the game masters for making the experience even better.
We tried Jailbreak and Perfect Crime. Perfect Crime is their hardest room and Jailbreak is a bit easier. Nonetheless, we will be back to try the Wild West and Insane Asylum! This place is a MUST! You won't be disappointed!

Did the Prison escape with a group of four. They let us go over by seven minutes to finish because we’re so close even though we had technically failed. So grateful they let us finish. It was amazing. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to try another!

The best escape room! I would say better than some NYC escape the rooms. The staff is amazing amazing, so nice and friendly and really root for you to exit the room. We did the Disorderly Conduct, which was hard, but we had a blast. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning and going to the other rooms!
