    We had such an amazing time doing The Gold Rush room! Right after, we booked The Depths, for an hour later, and that one was incredible too!! So fun. Thank you!

    It was a very fun experience. My group and I recommend this location very highly. We did The Depths escape room. Also, our game master, Cher, was the best. She added to our great experience and made sure we were progressing well.

    Staff was super friendly!! Nataly was amazing, funny and friendly. We went for my brother’s birthday and she got him a birthday card signed by all the staff and gave it to him after we finished our escape room, how thoughtful of her! She then gave us previews to other escape rooms in case we wanted to do another one, which ended up with us booking another escape room on the same day! I wish I could remember our second game master’s name who was also very nice and helpful, thanks for all the help we would have not won the last escape room we did with 13 seconds left if it wasn’t for him! We will definitely be coming back!

    The Escape Game was an amazing, thrilling, and puzzling experience! Make sure to go with a group, as many minds will help you make it through the clues. If you ever get stuck, you can ask the game master for extra help. Our game master Emerson was specially helpful as we had to ask for clues a couple times. I recommend the Gold Rush room as that is the one we did. Staff are really friendly. 10/10 Game time is 1 hour. Good luck!

    Very interactive and I love how we can ask for hints and have someone keeping watch. The room I did was the depths and it was very cool. Unfortunately i couldn't escape in time but it was a very nice experience!! The staff was very nice and we got the room to ourselves.

    We did The Depths escape room as a group of 3. The rooms are advertised to accommodate up to 8 people but my feeling is that the best number of people is 3-4. I've done plenty of escape rooms and our experience here was definitely one of the better ones. The room was themed well and the puzzles were challenging but not obtusely confusing. The props were also high quality (ie, not just laminated pieces of paper). The price is more expensive than other escape rooms I've been to, but I suppose it's the premium price for being in the American Dream mall.

    We did the Playground room and had a blast! There were only 3 of us (and the third was my 9 year old) and we ran out of time after we solved the last puzzle but before we could finish. Excellent room design, and challenging but accessible puzzles. You needed to use your brain and just a touch of dexterity. The game master gave great hints and if we had asked for our first hint 2 or 3 minutes earlier, we would have escaped. We will definitely be back!!

    We did The Depths room & it was so fun! Elie was a great game guide & helped us just enough to get out! We went for my birthday & they put up a banner to celebrate in the room. That was so unexpected & greatly appreciated! Cant recommend these games & this location enough!

  • 5/5 Crys R. 7 months ago on Google
    so much fun, room was so cool, workers were even more cool, 10 out of 5 stars!! If you’re looking for an escape room with multiple rooms this is the place to go.

  • 5/5 Eileen C. 6 months ago on Google
    Me and my friend came here last night and tried the playground room. We had the best time! Michelle our clue master was so sweet and helpful! We would not have escaped if not for her!! The room itself was really cool and well planned and organized. Probably better for a bigger group and definitely kid friendly! Be prepared to be like crawling around looking for clues haha. Thanks so much to everyone there for making our night special!

    We had an awesome time! The rooms are much more involved than you may think and we weren't able to escape, but we had fun figuring out the puzzles nonetheless. Our host Chris was awesome and very friendly. Definitely going to return!

  • 5/5 Evan G. 6 months ago on Google
    Awesome place! I took my wife there for her birthday and everyone working was so welcoming. They gave my wife a laminated happy birthday sign with all signatures of the workers and a coupon for a free tshirt since we escaped the room on her birthday! Will definitely be back soon. You can definitely tell the employees enjoy their job! They gave us a tour of the other rooms as well! Love it!

  • 5/5 Hailee B. 6 months ago on Google
    Just finished the heist! It was so much fun. Staff was great, and the room was so creative and great. We managed to escape with 2 minutes left. Will be returning again! Sydney guided us through and she was so awesome. Thank you for a great time!

  • 5/5 Joana A. 7 months ago on Google
    Chris was very helpful, nice and charismatic he explained everything. He showed us how some of the escape rooms looked. Also recommend which rooms was good for beginners! The lady cashier was also helpful, explained how the experience works because it was our first time. (I forgot her name) I’ll definitely recommend. we were given clues and help along the way! Thanks for the experience we will be returning soon!

  • 5/5 Gerald E. 9 months ago on Google
    We did The Heist and really liked that we are trying to outwit criminals. The rooms are very well set up with very nice props and decor, clean, and interesting. Puzzles really good and extremely fun. Unlimited clues provide as much help when needed. But big part of the fun are the staff and really friendly game masters. We will come back and try more rooms for sure.

    I had an amazing time! My friends and I planned this for my birthday and the entire staff signed a card for me and decorated the room. The room itself was awesome. Incredibly detailed and lots of great puzzles. Tasha was our escape room guide and did a great job with explanations and hinting at things when we needed it. Excellent experience and I would have another event there.

  • 5/5 Charmaine G. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here with my cousins and we had a lot of fun. We did the prison break but I’ve also done the special ops before. Both were so much fun but I think prison break was a little harder! I highly recommend trying it out with your family or friends. Loved the challenge and seeing how everyone processed every piece of information. Would definitely go back and try the other rooms!!!

  • 5/5 Philbert T. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome escape room located in the American Dream Mall. We played the Special Ops Mystery Market and had a great time thanks to our game master. The room was well designed and the puzzles while challenging were a blast to solve. I would definitely recommend and can see myself coming back to try out the other rooms

  • 5/5 Delicia T. 11 months ago on Google
    We all had such an awesome time! What a challenge! Something we’d definitely do again! Ellie was great! If it wasn’t for her guidance in the background we’d still be locked in! Lol Thank you for such a cool experience!

  • 5/5 ALANA D. 11 months ago on Google
    We came here for my son’s 10th birthday. He loved it. Our tour guide was KeyKey. She was great! We’ll be back!!

  • 5/5 Amber C. 11 months ago on Google
    Best escape rooms I’ve ever been to. Our guide for our room was Nate - he was awesome! The staff is always super nice and helpful, and the games are fun but challenging. We’ll be back soon!

  • 5/5 Beth L. 1 year ago on Google
    Super fun time at The Depths with Scott as our host! As 2 exhausted moms with 3 overly competitive kids after a day of wondrous mall fun, we needed just a little "kick" to save the day and come out as heroes. Scott was able to give us just the right amount of help to not take away our sense of accomplishment but also keep us on the right track. We had a great time! Thanks, NJ escape crew!

  • 5/5 kenneth l. 10 months ago on Google
    Had a great time at this escape room. Firstly the staff was great and very polite. Our moderator Cher, very a sweet person and very helpful too. The room itself was very fun. My party and I did the Spec Ops room, it was a really captivating narrative and fun to role play as CIA agents. The decoration for the rooms are great and the room had plenty of interactive puzzles that were great. This room we did was the second toughest and it was hard but not hair pulling. Overall I had a great experience I recommend.

  • 5/5 Scott C. 1 year ago on Google
    This Escape Room location is part of a national chain with top notch and very challenging rooms. I have done 50+ rooms, and this brand never fails. Why I love this place. The rooms are designed like movie sets and quickly transport you to locations like prison, a submarine, a spice market amd many others. The props feel authentic. The locks and puzzles vary in difficulty. This location does not heavily use combination locks, but instead the puzzles involve other things that require codes. The puzzles don't feel forced and are always in line with the story of the room. Although the rooms are in my opinion some of the most challenging I have encountered.. You can get as many clues as needed to get out. This is because the staff is excellent attentive and focused on you having the best time possible. If an escape room is in the plan this location must be the destination. Some recommendations. Make a reservation, this place Is busy. If you want to do the room with just your friends and family, you should have a team of a minimum of 6. You will need that many people to get through all the puzzles to escape. Good luck.. Have a blast. I have done 5 of the rooms here, all are good but prison break is my favorite

    Very fun experience! The rooms are very well set up and decorated, this is a quality escape room. Organized a company outing and the escape room was always easy to talk to. Staff at the location was also very cheerful and helpful; we will be back for more!!

  • 5/5 Steven L. 1 year ago on Google
    We completed the Playground and had a blast doing it! Multiple rooms, fun activities, great reveals, and infinite clues. Logan was a great help and was pretty much our 3rd teammate with all the hints ❤️ would not have won without him Will definitely be back to escape again!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth J. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great staff, exciting atmosphere and awesome experience! We tried Prison Break which was crazy ambitious as it was our first ever escape room attempt. We didn’t escape but we had a lot of fun regardless. Shout out to Bernadette, our guide, for her special touch to celebrate our anniversary/birthday occasions! We would definitely come back and bring friends and family to try the other escape games. It was really cool and everything in the rooms were in great working order (nothing broken or scuzzy to make it more difficult to solve on your own). Thanks for a great time!

    The place was great. The receptionist was an absolute delight and made it very easy to book. My friends and I did The Heist room and Chris was such a big help and gave us the best positive energy before we started the game. Booking again soon with more people!

    Had a great time running The Heist! Definitely one of the best ones you can pick, each room was filled with puzzles that were actually interesting and satisfying to solve. The pacing was well done and challenging, the connections between each important item were fun to find and exciting. Huge shoutouts to the staff! Keke was our guide, she brought great energy that set us up for success and she helped us along the way with really well timed hints! All in all a wonderful experience, looking forward to next time!

    We took our young son here and I'm not sure who had more fun - him or us. Keykey was in charge of our room and she was so kind with him and had a great energy. It was our first time at an Escape Room and we'll definitely be going back. We did the Playground and the it was challenging enough to keep us on our toes, but the clues were helpful and kept us engaged when we got stuck. Definitely recommend. We went during the week so ended up being the only ones there.
