Escape rooms are a great way to get out with your friends, celebrate a birthday, or bond with your co-workers. But with so many escape rooms in New York City, it’s hard to know which ones are good. And while it may seem scary to get locked into a room with nothing but your wits to save you–even worse is getting locked into a bad escape room with broken clues, sketchy set design, and an apathetic gamemaster. Quit worrying and check out our list of the top escape rooms in New York City.

#2 – I Survived The Room
Long Island City
This escape room in Long Island City isn’t messing around. It’s not your typical escape game: these guys have upped the ante by creating a game with puzzles all cleverly linked to a central storyline and incorporating a cast of professional actors, lighting, and effects. They pride themselves on offering a fully immersive escape room experience that is theatrically driven and totally creepy. They’re currently rocking a Sanatorium-themed room and offer a wicked Zombie experience on Friday nights. Looking for a private experience? You’ll need to buy the whole room. And heads up, these rooms aren’t for the faint of heart.
