About this tour

Step into a Midtown Manhattan storefront and trade the city’s busy streets for a mission built around clues, puzzles, and teamwork. The Escape Game New York City offers seven immersive themes, including the challenging Prison Break, just a few blocks from Times Square and the Empire State Building.

Choose an adventure and work together to solve puzzles across multiple rooms. Most games accommodate up to eight players, while Playground can host up to 12. The game itself lasts one hour, with 15 minutes beforehand for a briefing and preparation and 15 minutes afterward to debrief and take photos. These family-friendly experiences are designed to be exciting, not scary or dark. Unless you reserve every spot, other guests may join your team.

Located on Madison Avenue near East 41st Street, this Escape Game NYC adventure makes a lively addition to a day exploring Manhattan. Pick your theme, gather your team, and see if you can complete the mission.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.1. Top 3% in New York City means it ranks in the top 3% of tours in New York City by this score.
