Me, my wife and another couple came to Escape Garden State to celebrate our respective anniversaries recently. This is me and my wife's second time coming here. The facility is always clean and the staff is absolutely amazing and friendly. The escape rooms are a blast. They offer the right amount of challenge. And even when we were stumped at a few spots, we never stopped having fun. And the staff nudged us in the right direction without giving away the answer to a puzzle. This first room we tried was Boardwalk Blast and the second visit was Power Surge. Both rooms were very thematic and engaging. We can't wait to come back and try the other rooms.

Came here for my birthday to do the Devil’s Den room. It was challenging but we escaped with a few minutes to spare! The room setup was great and the staff was extremely helpful and kind. I had such a great time that I recently came back to try Boardwalk Blast which was a little bit easier but still fun! I’ll definitely be back to try out the other two rooms and would recommend this place to both beginners and experienced room escapers 😊

Best escape room experience! All the rooms are fun and are true to level of difficulty. If you can choose a game master, ask for Emily! Whoever came up with the sequence of game play made sure to make them equal parts fun and challenging. The rooms are clean and don’t have a lot of the wear and tear some of the other escape rooms we’ve been to. It deserves all five stars!

Our family of four (two seniors and two 30-ish adults) did the "Power Surge" escape room, one of Escape Garden State's easier rooms. This was the right level for our second escape room ever. Our first was in Baltimore and we failed. We prepared ahead of time by watching some general best practices on YouTube. This time we escaped just in the nick of time, thanks to hints from our wonderful game master. These hints were just enough and only when we needed them. We didn't even have to ask for them. We totally enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it. Our room was nicely decorated as Thomas Edison's office. There were a variety of puzzles, locks and hidden items so our different strengths and abilities were useful. Great job by our game master who was very nice and guided us masterfully!

While I've done escape rooms at other places (including failing to escape more than once), this was my first time at Escape Garden State, and it was a blast. It was easy to book, staff was really helpful and friendly. I went with a group of 7 (4 adults, 3 teenagers). We did the "Jersey Devil" escape, an "intermediate" difficulty. It was excellent, the right amount of plot, puzzle, and difficulty. The twist is that the group is divided into two different rooms, and has to work together from different rooms to solve puzzles before coming together as one group. When we were stuck, a hint arrived at just the right time to keep it moving forward. We escaped with 4 minutes remaining. For me, the best part was that all three teens really got into it and enjoyed it. Totally worth doing!

We’ve done two of the escape rooms here and thoroughly enjoyed both. We loved the Jersey themes and found the rooms to have really good production values with nicely varied puzzles - not just locks. Our game masters were great and super helpful with timely hints when needed.

We went here for a birthday and it was very enjoyable we did the Boardwalk Room and we liked that it was a few different rooms and it was mental and light physical (skillful physical not overly physical) Gamemaster gave us just enough of clues to avoid getting stuck without revealing everything to us. We will be back again.

This was our 2nd time at Escape Garden State, but this time with our two younger ones. We did Boardwalk which had lots of arcade game-focused puzzles which were challenging, but yet not too hard. The staff was great and timely with the hints. It looks like they expanded their physical space since the pandemic as well. Definitely check them out!

So fun to do even with as little as 3 people. We chose to do the highest difficulty level but it was still really fun to try and figure it out. Staff is very kind and helpful for those who need it and everything is very clean.

Have gone here and now completed all 4 rooms with a friend. We had Emily, who was an awesome game master for us. Clean place, great NJ vibe, very challenging rooms. I'd go back again if they had more rooms!
