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?

After work on Friday evening, our office group decided to give a try to Game of Stones. Initially, we were skeptical about it. But as soon as we entered, we found the most astounding decor. It seemed as if we were inside our computer game and this brought back all our childhood memories!
The Tasks which they had planted were exciting and unique. One of them needed physical work and could be done only by proper teamwork. When we entered, we saw a prison cell just like an old castle dungeon. The Stone walls, large wooden doors having metal-barred windows took us to ancient times. The hints were difficult but the staff hinted at a few clues. This brought in more enthusiasm into us to complete the challenge! Everything inside the game room seemed exactly similar to the game of stone theme which is Kingdoms and medieval lore. It did not have the rise of the living dead part.
The hints are said through audio and also narrated in the exactly same character voice. This got liveliness in the game.
Our office group made the best decision to visit Gotham escape room. We have already booked our next month's Friday evening for it. Definitely willing to give a try on the new escape room. We are excited and looking forward :D

This was our first room at Gotham Escape Room. To say we loved it is to say nothing! It's pretty challenging and we wouldn't have escaped without all hints the staff provided. I also took my family to this room after that so I've played it twice :-)

My favorite escape room in Philadelphia. This escape room cleverly uses a 150+ year old building to create the most immersive ambiance I've played in a long time. With over 50 games under my belt, this room ranks up near the top of my list because the story-driven puzzles that lead to a satisfying "wow-moment" ending. The decor took my breath away. There was a moment where I just wanted to stop playing the game and just examine the antiques.
If you're a scenery snob, this game is for you. It's perfect for group of small enthusiasts, or a larger group of newer players. Either way, with unlimited hints, and thoughtful game mastering from Brooks where he really gives anything away, but allows you to enjoy those Ah-Ha moments by nudging you in the right direction, this room has such great flow, I will never forget it. We will be talking about for days, months, years.
Highly recommended for corporate team building because of the HR-friendly content, unlike some of the other escape rooms in the area that are rate R (or worse) and wouldn't be appropriate for work-related events.
