Our New Jersey location boasts 7 immersive escape rooms, featuring our latest game, The Depths, and our most challenging adventure, Prison Break. Each escape room can accommodate up to 8 players, with the exception of Playground, which can host up to 12 players.
These adventures provide a unique, premium experience. You'll follow clues and solve puzzles to achieve your mission as a team. We are known for our exceptional escape rooms and responsive customer support. Discover why our escape rooms consistently win awards.
We offer shared experiences, meaning multiple groups can book the same game. To guarantee a private experience, ensure you book all available spots. If the number of available spots doesn't match the game's capacity, it indicates that another group has already reserved spots in that game.
