The Clock Tower

An incredibly immersive room where each member of the team felt like they could shine.

I loved the story line, I loved the unique themed puzzles. Even the lobby and hallways of this place are amazing. It's a great stop. The puzzles need some care, but most worked really well and we had a great time.

Very difficult for 2 people

Super fun - good variety of puzzles. Not the best one at this place, but really good. Definitely recommend

Exceptional room. Definitely one of the better experiences at this venue, along with Cartman.

This is definitely the best room that Escape the Room has to offer. Love the Steampunk atmosphere, and the puzzles are the fairest at this venue (I find the rooms at this venue all require very large mental leaps with major puzzles in ways that don’t always compute…this one is still guilty somewhat, and it only frustrated me here because I otherwise loved the room so much) Some math involved by way of time…goes without saying!

Overall I was disappointed with this room. I did not understand the flow of the game AT ALL. It seemed disjointed thus making it difficult because we solved one thing but had no idea where it lead us and most times we didn’t even know when we had solved a puzzle as there was no sound or anything to indicate it had been solved. Definitely not in my list of top escape rooms in NYC.

Very bad because stuff didn’t work right and the flow wasn’t great

normally i’m easy to please. give me a fun game and i’ll have a fun time. this was the first game where i genuinely had a sour taste in my mouth leaving. where do i begin? first off the first room was right next to the lobby, so all we heard was chatter the first 15 minutes. no biggie. the lack of any sound in the room amplified this. the puzzles made no sense to some capacity. some of them did make sense! and there was plenty of room for this adventure to be great! but it wasn’t. i feel like the room had SO much potential, but due to lack of upkeeping and improper game mastering, it fell extremely flat. speaking of game mastering, it was clear they were not watching us. we waved our hands like crazy, to no avail. furthermore, popping stuff open is NOT game mastering. when a puzzle is done correctly, a group should not have to wait 5 minutes just to solve a puzzle. the final cherry on top; our host (who we actually presume was the manager), accused us of cheating the game, rushed us through the broken puzzles, and left us with no thank you or goodbye. overall, if you charge $41, i should receive a $41 experience. accusing your customers of cheating and then basically pushing them out is not how to get returning customers.

I was so excited to do this room, I looked forward to this day for a bit of time, but after walking out, I’m just disappointed. This was a surprise birthday present for me that slowly turned for the worst. The room itself was not the best, and some puzzles were just open or were opened by itself. We were rushed through this game and I felt I didn’t get a chance to really take in the room. If I pay $41 to do a room, I expect to have an incredible experience. My experience was much less than incredible. *UPDATE* The manager called our party after we sent an email and made things right. He shared his frustration with us and was very nice and respectful. The manager offered us a free game and will be having us back in the future so that we can give them another shot which our party is willing to do.
