Exodus Escape Room

Old and worn down. Some puzzles are okay but some are impossible because of the condition of the equipment.

I am a fan of escape rooms and have done quite a few of them. This was not my favorite location. Spread across two floors the location is quite easy to find. Booking is simple and the rooms are private which is nice. Tried two rooms here (Masquerade and quarantine).

Both rooms had okay puzzles. Most of them made sense but some equipment was so beat up it was hard to make out letters or sounds. The room was pretty old school and lock based and the few pieces of cool technology were so run down that the person had to give us the answer because there was no way we could solve it (trying to to give away the answers).

Overall, the condition of this room wrecked the experience. It made puzzles hard to do and destroyed the ambiance of the room. There are certainly better rooms in NYC.

A group of 5 of my friends did the escape room themed: Exodus, based around an Egyptian exhibit in a museum
We had no one else in the room with us so it was fun to be able to work together to find all the clues. I highly recommend doing it that way versus doing it with other people that you don't know. It's easier to work together to find clues to get out

There was one unique clue that kinda scared us a little but it made for a more fun experience!

We didn't realize the difficulty levels before booking the room which in hindsight would've helped us choose which theme would have been better suited for us. Exodus is the easiest, The Hounds is second, Masquerade is the hardest.

The host was very casual that we didn't know when the game had started and when she was actually being serious about what was a clue and what wasn't, though I guess it was all part of the game, so pay attention!

Regardless, we had a great time and got out of the room in 40 minutes!! I love escape rooms and would definitely do a different room!

SO MUCH FUN!! The escape room "quarantine" was challenging and exciting! Our escape room was super hands on and so much to see!! I def recommend

I'm in NY for Christmas with my in-laws and wanted to do something fun. We went to this escape room and I'm sooooo glad we did. Haval was the first person we met and he took care of us the entire night. It was 5 of us in the Exodus room and only 2 of us have experienced an escape room. Fast forward to the good part! WE ESCAPED THE ROOM!!!!!! (The crowd goes wild...in my head lol). I have had my fair share of escape rooms and have never escaped. It finally feels good to get out with 9 minutes to spare.

Would we go back? Absolutely! We had a great time. Thank you Haval for the outstanding customer service.

This room was amazing!! We had a Groomsman party and know the creator of the room so we thought we would give it a try. The room was nicely decorated when we showed up and you couldn't even see the many clues we eventually found. There were several different kinds of clues that we had to solve. One by one we solved them and made it out of the room with time to spare.

I highly recommend Exodus Escape Room if you are looking for a fun activity for an hour. Lots of fun and it makes you think.

Get a small group together and try it out!!

Played two rooms here. The first one we did is "Exodus". It is a pretty easy room for experienced players, but still a good room. The second one we played is "Masquerade". This one is a hard one. The puzzles in this room are pretty well designed.
Overall, great staff and great experience.

I want to emphasize that three stars on Yelp indicates that the venue was A-OK, which is exactly how I felt about Exodus. Our party of 5 opted for the Masquerade, which was marketed as the hardest room they had available.

Don't get me wrong - we had a great time, but for the price we paid and the expectations going in, I regretfully wished that the room would be exponentially harder. We ended up clearing the room in about 30 minutes without needing hints, which was a stark contrast to rooms we've cleared with barely enough time even after asking for clues.

Had this been a mid-tier room in terms of difficulty, I would have ample reason to return, but for the time being, I think there are better options in the city.

We thoroughly enjoyed working together in the Hound adventure. It was a short family trip but this excursion made it a little more fun. We arrived 30 minutes early and was able to grab a bite at the local Panera. This location is in Korean Town (K-Town) so there are several cultural food options nearby. The walk from the train was 5 to 7 minutes, depending on how slow you walk. When we arrived on site we were offered water and an assortment of puzzles and brain games to get ready for the challenge ahead. We were given instructions about how things work for solving the adventure. There was also a plea to avoid damaging items that have no relation to the puzzle. After a last minute change to use the restroom, we entered and given a place to put our personal items.
The room was very atmospheric and made us feel like we were in the time period of the story, including furniture and lighting. To know more, you have to go and try the Hound challenge. Our next visit to NY will have to include a different escape room change. This was great!

I've now done three room escapes. 59:59 wasn't the best, but it certainly wasn't the worst. It was smack dab in the middle. Did the Hounds/Sherlock/Detective room for a large group (it can accommodate up to 10), and there was definitely enough things to keep everyone busy, even though it was a bit all over the place (spoiler alert: there was even a secondary room).

The puzzles themselves were alright, but it was hard to find a logic for putting a lot of them together. Luckily, there was this big brother-esque TV screen in the corner that would give us clues based on what they heard us saying.

Other than that, it was a fun time. Be sure to come with a large group, because they'll put you with randos if there are smaller groups.

We came to 59:59 to celebrate a surprise birthday and engagement party. This place Rocks!!! What a blast we had at this place. I contacted them as I was planning a surprise birthday party where I was going to propose to my girlfriend.

I have to say that the entire staff was amazing from the beginning. Vivian and Richard were great. They accommodated 20+ people in two rooms and worked with us to make it very special.

I wanted to do something special. I didn't want to just go to a bar and drink all night. This was a great choice and strongly recommend it. The entire group was extremely excited and had a great time. At the end of the game, I gathered all of our friends and family to wish my girlfriend a happy birthday and the end I proposed to her. Yes, she said YES.

I strongly recommend doing something like this for a great time with friends and family, but more importantly do it at 59:59!

Thanks again!!!!
