Tomb

5 Wits Nyack in General: this company makes a big deal out of making sure you know this is “not” an escape room. But I actually think they do themselves a disservice that way! I’m a very avid escape room escaper, and I was VERY taken by 5 Wits! The immersive nature of each themed adventure here is extremely high quality and well done. This approaches Disney theme park quality, and that of my favorite escape room company: The Escape Game. The staff is great and I appreciate the reveals in each adventure as well as their cute intros, and that you get a score at the end (which for me helps keep it competitive even though you always technically “escape”) This room: I’ve been to the Valley of the Kings and I was extremely impressed with the final room’s walls. This is the most immersive “Egyptian tomb” themed adventure I’ve ever done. I always loved how the puzzles here incorporated teamwork. This was a very smart room and the “best” ending involves a very gorgeous reveal. I can’t recommend this enough

I would recommend going to 5 Wits and doing all three escape rooms to anyone who is in the area and able to - you will not find rooms with as amazing of set design as this company. Their puzzles are very family friendly so they aren’t super challenging, but the immersion factor really makes up for it.

Final challenge didn’t register as success despite us being successful. “It’s a bit finicky”, they said. Still enjoyed most of it.

Current versions of Tomb don’t have the same magic of the original from the 2000s, but are fun nonetheless. More of an immersive experience with puzzles/challenges than an escape room. Good atmosphere.

5 Wits is not like a normal escape room. It maximizes put-through which can feel a little like you’re being railroaded through. It feels a little like a Disney park walk-through experience that way. So if you’re looking for a challenge this isn’t the right room for you. But if you want to just be entertained, they’re great.

Top notch theming of any room I have done! NOTE! This is not really an escape room, but more of an adventure room. So you do solve puzzles, but there are no locks and everything is pretty self explanatory! Otherwise, great room! But very creepy! To those who are a bit jumpy, enjoy with friends lol

I mean I’m going to be honest. These are “Escape Rooms” for people who don’t want to do the work. Not to say the puzzles aren’t difficult (barley are) but there is only one puzzle per room- 3/4 rooms. They also will straight up complete the puzzle for you, if you are not doing it in the time they want. Many many technical errors with this one. Ruined most the experience. Cool theme but you forget it really fast. And that’s sad.
