Description:

The word around Chinatown is that they're hiding drugs inside fortune cookies and planning a big exchange at the Chinese New Year parade. Sources say it's going down at the aptly named Chinatown restaurant. This unit has a brief window after they close to find some evidence before it's spread all over town. So get in, get some dirt, and get out unseen. When Chinese New Year begins, what will your fortune say?

Reviews of escape game "Chinatown" 4

Years ago we did the Diner, and this weekend we completed The cabin and Chinatown. All of the rooms here are clever- they have interesting clues and great themes. We have done literally hundreds of rooms all over the country and these rooms are so fun. They are difficult for two people(we only escaped because our game master helped us in the final seconds). But we love the difficulty and interesting puzzles. Can’t wait to come back to try The Speakeasy.

Truly a blast! I have only had experience with one escape room before - my office did the whole "team bonding" thing. Anywhoo! This time I got a group of friend together and the room/experience by far exceeded the first.

A few points to highlight...

The room - the room itself was very well done. The decor and space. Something I didn't love about the first escape room was how small and crowded it felt. We did the "Chinatown" theme and they did a great job giving a restaurant feel.

The clues/ puzzle pieces - what really set this place apart was the clues! Again, comparing it to my last experience, there were far less obvious clues which really made us think and work as a team. More importantly the type of puzzle pieces they engineered were phenomenal and extremely creative. Not to give anything away, but you really have to exercise all options with everything in the room touching, aligning, and pushing. Nothing came too easy with this room!

Customer service - the girl who assisted us was polite and sweet. Plus, the few times we did have to ask for hints, she gave us the perfect nudge in the right direction.

All in all a great experience. I will defiantly be forming a new team and heading back soon!

Such a great time! 3 of us did the Chinatown Room and it was so much fun! We barely escaped but I think it would have been better if we had a couple more people. The 3 of us had done a few escape rooms before, but this was by far the most fun. The room was decorated in a way that made you feel like you were really in a restaurant in Chinatown.

The owner Greg was also super accommodating as the same afternoon of our reservation we were going to run late. He was really nice and put us in at a later spot, which was still open. He didn't have to do that, so we really appreciate it. Staff was also very nice. The clues were also really helpful when we needed them.

Can't wait to come back to do the other rooms!!

    It's the height of Prohibition and speakeasies are all the rage. You don't recall much about the other night, but you do remember putting up your prized Babe Ruth signed baseball as collateral for your tab...

    You spent nearly every school break in the 90s at your family’s cabin. When you weren't fishing, skiing, or raising your Tamagotchi, you and your cousins were playing Nintendo.
