ABOUT US

THE NEW YORK ORIGIN STORY

Escape The Room’s seven midtown escape room experiences, including New York City’s original room escape: The Office, are filled with secrets and mystery. While we love to share our story and our passion for entertaining people from all over the globe, don’t expect us to share any of the secrets that will help you get out of one of our escape rooms.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

New York City’s Escape The Room first offered participants a new social gaming opportunity in October 2013. We call New York City home, as the Big Apple was the first city in which we opened our exciting escape experience. What better place to try a new interactive thought-provoking game than the city with the best culture, an unmatchable tourist scene, and some of the most unique entertainment experiences in the world? New York City is the perfect place to launch and grow our puzzle room escape.

FUN FACTS

FUN FACTS

While we have expanded our opperation all over the country to cities like Chicago, Dallas, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington DC to name a few, the only place you can play the original is right here in New York City. No other location offers The Office, which was the first room we opened back in 2013.

We’re also proud of the fact that we’ve had the honor of hosting some amazing celebrity players, including cast member from popular movies and shows like Star Wars and Stranger Things! Madonna, Hugh Jackman, Michael Cera, and Tina Fey have also tried their hands at our rooms. That being said, very few of those players have succeeded in escaping. Think you and your friends can do better?

OUR ESCAPE ROOMS

OUR ESCAPE ROOMS

We have seven unique escape rooms: Jurassic Escape, Outbreak, The Dig, The Clock Tower, The Submarine, The Agency, Cartmans Escape Room, The Office, and The Home. Each room brings a different theme, storyline, group of puzzles and escape route. Each room locks you in with 60 minutes to escape. If you don’t mind taking a trip into the heart of the earth, The Dig offers the perfect ambiance. See how quickly an ordinary residence can become a claustrophobic yet perfectly decorated domicile of doom in The Home. Stop an evil corporation from releasing dinosaurs on the populous in Jurassic Escape and save the world from a deadly virus in Outbreak. You may be able to escape from work every day, but it won’t be so easy when your time is limited to an hour in The Office. Looking for something a little more wild? Stop the mole from releasing important secrets in The Agency, get stuck in a crazy time loop in The Clock Tower, reach the surface before you run out of air in The Submarine or return back to the fourth grade and try to escape from the worst place ever… SKOOOOOL in Cartman’s Escape Room.

PERFECT FOR GROUPS OF ALL TYPES

It will be a social opportunity they’ll never forget. Escape rooms are also ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, wedding parties, and anyone looking to host fun out-of-the-box events.

“We did the room and it was lots of fun. We were with 4 strangers but it didnt take away from the fun. Everyone got to know everyone and we all worked together. Definitely a great experience and we will absolutely be booking another escape!”

Randy Bailey

“I’ve done Escape the Room twice, once at their Midtown and Downtown location. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Both times were so much fun. I am happy to say that we escaped both rooms. I can’t wait to try the rest of their rooms out. They are very organized and great at what they do!”
