Such a great experience! The staff was super friendly (they even took pictures and videos, edited them and sent them to us!). I wish I could remember the guys name who helped us (Nov 7th @ 8pm). He was awesome! Definitely would go again!
We celebrated my sons birthday with a small group of his friends. They did the scary room and enjoyed it very much. We stayed for pizza and cake and the boys had a lot of fun. The staff was great. Thank you!
Such a fun place. Jeb was awesome and explained everything perfectly. If you want to do something different do this!
My friends and I did this escape room very last minute and wanted to do something fun and everything was planned out so perfectly, it was difficult to solve but it was very worthwhile and fun!
Rajaan was great and very helpful. We came to celebrate a bachelorette and had a smashing time!
Surprised my husband with a trip to the Rage Room. He had so much fun breaking stuff!
Without a doubt the best place and most unique place to go for a few hours with the girls and have an amazing time. We had the best girls night out here, they staff was great and you just cant find fun like this for grown ups, seriously! Kids arent the only ones who need to have fun, this place got it right!
Outstanding adult entertainment center, is that a thing? We made a reservation about a month ahead for the escape room and ended up doing the rage room which was crazy fun. I never though breaking stuff would be such a good time! They have those huge inflatable balls that you get in and so much more. A totally unique place unlike any other I have ever been to.
Wow! This place shouldnt be called just Escape Room as its so much more. The staff was amazing they are so much fun, they obviously enjoy their job and it really shows. We smashed stuff in their destruction room and then played with the big knocker balls slamming into each other. The escape room was really fun, well thought out and so much to do that our group of 10 never had down time. We escaped from the horror room with 2 minutes to spare.
When you call for the hackensack location they tell you they are sold out but when you just show up there is a bright orange sticker that says closed by the health department... the place looks discusting from the outside. They should really just list this place a temporarily closed if they plan to open a nearby location in the future.Additional disclaimer: went for a gift card.
Today I went with a group of friends to the escape room. We did the detective mode of the game.If you are a person who love to solve riddles, then this is opportunity you should take advantage of.If you are not good at solving much riddles. This is still an opportunity for you as well. You do not solve this by yourself you go with a group of friends. Overall I had a great time. I can see my self trying this again. It was an amazing experience. Shout out to Chelsea for being an amazing host. Very helpful, friendly, and funny. Thank you for making our experience much better.
SO MUCH FUN!! I did the detective story with my family and we had so much fun. We did although spend more time laughing then we did actually solving the case, but we had a lot of fun! Tony was a great host that helped us out during our case there. Highly reccomend every to come here!
My experience with Lucy, the store manager was amazing. She was professional, gave us a tour of the facility and was very detailed. She explained how everything works at the facility. She covered everything -parking, arrival time and different types of events, food, beverages etc. She was able to customize the event to make sure our needs were met. Thank you!
Celebrated my sons 21st birthday there today. Brandon was awesome! He made sure we all had a really great time! Games were lots of fun and it was easy to book and the price was great!! Wanna do my 45 birthday thee!! Time went way to fast though!! Highly recommend it to all!!
The staff is unprofessional and condescending. There is no sense of respect for their patrons. This is the worst escape the room in existence and I’m shocked that it is still open. DISCLAIMER: if you look at their highest reviews, a majority of them are all made using FAKE accounts. Not only that, you will see with some reviews that they’ve rated this place’s other locations the same way (5 stars). It’s sad to see how desperate this company is by having to make fake reviews. Also, I had fun reading your clever responses to some reviews and can’t wait to hear back from you.
We did good and almost finished it. Angel was the coolest person ever. We would have done so much better if that damn Dan’s handwriting was that of a 3 year old.Good time was had by all.
This escape room was so much fun! I went with my family and I would do it again if I had the chance! Our game master was named Tony and he was very helpful during the game. We almost got out I would definitely recommend coming! Ask for Tony!
Came her for a birthday party. Had Lucy as our game master and she was excellent!! I highly recommend coming here. Had a great time.
Chelsea and Tony were awesome! We were a group of 6 on the SWAT team. Unfortunately, a bomb blew up New York, but we had a blast!Definitely a fun time if you’re looking for a good time.
It was a fun experience throughout. The lady running it was super chill and very attentive to making it a good experience. We were able to sign up fast and even though we didnt escape we had a spectacular time and we recommend it highly
LOVED THIS ESCAPE ROOM!!! It was my first time doing it and I went with my fiance. Lucy, the game master, was TERRIFIC! We did the S.W.A.T room and we were 2 clues away from detonating the bomb. Unfortunately my fiance isnt the thinking type so most of it was on me. It was challenging with all the hidden compartments, thinking, numbers etc and was well worth the money. Definitely without a doubt going back.
It’s a great indoor activity that really gets the whole group involved! Richard was the best and even helped our not so native ax throwers succeed!
Experience was one of a kind, swat room was very nice and interesting. Lucy the head master was helpful and amazing definitely will recommend. Great service!
I went w two of my friends and joined another group of 5. We did the other side escape room and it was very entertaining and had a lot of helpful hints. Chelsea was very helpful and gave us a lot of encouragement.
Excellent! Loved it! I went with my 16-year old daughter on Presidents Day and we had the horror themed room to ourselves. I did not expect the escape to be as difficult as it was. Very very challenging and thought provoking. It was a great bonding and team building experience. Highly recommend. Will do it again in a heartbeat!
We went as a team building exercise. Our group was split in two and both our groups were able to find our way out of the rooms. We then moved to the lower level and worked together to accomplish 60 second tasks. We worked together and the groups bonded in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. I recommend this experience to anyone looking to team build or just a fun evening out.
We were given the swat room!! It was an awesome thrilling experience. The staff (Sha) was very accommodating, we went here without any prior appointment. Would definitely recommend getting this experience.
Yo Pierre was mad chill and welcoming. It was really a vibe and an experience. Shout out to Pierre, he really a great person.
Such a fun time! The clues were challenging but fun. Our host, Chelsea, was amazing! I definitely recommend.
Really well-done, well-thought out puzzles. We had a great time trying to figure the room out with the other group we were with. A fun night that ended up giving us some great stories. Easy to book and find the location; great owners. Would highly recommend. Would do it again.
Hands down the best escape room in New Jersey! My favorite kind of escape rooms have the puzzles that make you want to smack your forhead and shake your head as the answer was right there the whole time. We had quite a few moments like that in the swat team game.The girl running the game was super friendly and they even made sure we got our full time as we ran late getting there but they didnt have a group booked after us so they really went the extra mile.Cant wait to try the scary game!!
We had a great time at Escape Room NJ. The Otherside Room was incredibly fun and a little creepy! Chelsea was a fantastic room leader! Definitely will be coming back.
I went with 2 of my friends but got a public room and was joined by 5 strangers.Although it was awkward af first we were able to work together and complete the room.Chelsea was great and I had an amazing time
Mel was a really fun gamemaster! I enjoyed the detective room but it requires a lot of teamwork. Overall it was an exciting experience.
Have a great time here at the Escape Room here in Hackensack NJ. Chelsea was amazing and tried her best to help us get out of the room. Will definitely come back. Thank you
I have done many escape rooms and this was by far the worst for me! We would find a clue and then try to to find the next clue using the previous clue we found, we ended up using a hint and it had nothing to do with the clue we found. The clues did not tie in together and it was not in order. We did the SWAT room. I would not come back to this place at all!
Reviews dont lie! We picked this place based solely on the fact that they have the best escape room reviews and they did not disappoint. We played the J0ker and it was a perfect mix of Escape Room and Haunted Houe. No one touches you but they still find ways to scare the life out of you. They also have a RAGE ROOM!!! I cant wait to break stuff.
Mel was lit, definitely an awesome host. Although our team failed we had a great time! Would definitely recommend!
Had a really good time at my first escape room! I found the puzzles challenging and even in a public room, we were able to work as a team to escape. Well definitely be back!
My friends and I decided to take on the scary experience. It was a challenging experience . I loved it so much and the girl directing us was amazing and funny! Everyone should give this place a try.
Went for my daughters 13th birthday party. We had so much fun. The girls were really into it and the parents had a blast too. Cant wait to book an adults night. The staff was so accommodating and really made this experience awesome. So nice to go somewhere where the staff looks like they are having as much fun doing their job as we were experiencing it.
Riddler was amazing the staff was amazing and can you believe we had 25 people in one Game. We hosted a party for my husbands 40th here and from start to finish it was like the staples commercial EASY! I called in and spoke with the guy who helped me pick a package which included the Axe throwing and the Rage room with the Escape room. We ordered the food a couple days before over email and they were so responsive through email, I think that someone wrote back to me about 5 minutes after I sent and email it was something crazy like that, I remember thinking wow. Anyway, the staff worked really hard to make sure we were happy they asked me about a dozen times over 4 hours we were there if I needed anything, how everything was going and really exceeded my expectations.
My boyfriend and I did The Otherside room and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good puzzle. Tony was our game master and made the experience great.
Good experience and great escape room plus the promo at the end was clear but there was not a single sign between the inadequate steeet parking and the front door that reads for party’s. We struggled to find the place for about 20 min. If there was any sign for escape room anywhere it would be 5
Highly recommendable! It was our first time to an escape room and the experience was thrilling. Sha, our game master was fantastic and really helpful.
We tried this Escape room after our rage room here, and I admit after being in the rage room some part of me wanted to break through everything but I was totally exhausted and actually really liked the puzzles. I havent wanted to do these mostly because I thought they would be nerdy and require all sorts of knowledge that pertains to the game but they totally dont.The game is crafty and the staff as in the rage room are totally cool, involved and having fun with you. I cant say enough good things about the place as a whole. It is probably the most fun place in new Jersey. I still have to try their bumper balls and definitely going to do the axe throwing.
It was a great time! Challenging yet fun! Definitely fun time! Would definitely go back again! Chelsea was fantastic!!
Fantastic experience. Challenging and really well thought out. The employees provide a great experience.
Had a wonderful time with a group of friends. Mel, our escape guide, was super nice and made the experience very enjoyable.
Great time recommend to anyone.
The experience was nice. We tried the vr escape room which was cool, but the booking process was needlessly difficult and time consuming.The 5 times I called, no one picks up. I sent email requesting bookings and got some responses back, but when it came time to confirm, I felt I had to keep following up with them to confirm the booking and payment.
Had a great time with my nephews! The Other Side is great for younger kids, and challenging enough for adults. Will be back.
Just went to the escape room and had an amazing time! It was very challenging and really make you think. Thank you to our wonderful host Tony for helping us have a great experience and helping us through the course!
Had a lot of fun for a first time escape room experience. We did the scary one - I put that in quotes because outside of one extremely good scare, it was more focused on puzzle solving, but I really recommend it anyway. Definitely focused on teamwork!
My friend and I did the SWAT escape room and had so much fun! Sha was so nice and helpful the whole time! Def coming back :)
Had a corporate event here a few days ago and it was fun! They had two rooms that we could escape from and we also did Minute to Win It games. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room (the one I got to do) was challenging and I heard the same for the other. It wasnt too difficult where you needed great knowledge to do it, it was just... clever and I love that!
The next big thing! Seriously, I know escape rooms have been around for a while but this place has so much more. We played virtual reality games and did paintball while we waited to get into an Escape Room. Yes, at the same place! Definitely make reservations to come as they get super busy.
Amazing! Probably one of the best escape rooms in NJ! I had been to the other location in Pompton Lakes, and this one seemed more practical than the other one. Granted, they were both amazing, but I liked this one better. Our game master, Tony, was very helpful. Also, in the near the beginning, Tony complemented us saying that we are very smart. And as we left, we got the feeling that he really wanted us to escape. We made it out with only 3 minutes left in “The Otherside: Horror edition” We were very close to not making it out. Very fun experience. Will try last location, and maybe the S.W.A.T. Room next.
The horror escape room was very fun and well thought out. I would highly reccomend this place to friends and try the other escape room option.
I love coming here. This was my second time doing an escape room at this location and it was just as much fun as the first time. I gathered 18 family and friends to do the other side escape room for my birthday and they didnt disappoint. It was scary and a thrill and everyone enjoyed and had a great time !
Great experience. Tony was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Will def tell friends and come back.
At first we felt a little awkward because we got there a little late (around 10:30-11pm) and the place was fairly empty. But when we got into the room, we had a lot of fun and time really flew. The game master was really friendly and funny and we had an amazing time!!! Will recommened this place to all my friends :)
Great, fun experience. The game master Mel was very funny. Would recommend!!
Had a great time and our game master, Chelsea, was great help and super nice. Would definitely recommend.
Mel was a great game master! Had an awesome time with my friends would definitely return for the swat room!
Last minute came in for a booking and the room was really cool, something very different and unexpected. Didn’t know it was this close right in Hackensack. I enjoyed it!
Had an amazing time. Went with a group of 8 and all had a great time. Prompt response for scheduling, able to get the requested date, the host was fantastic and it was a great challenge. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out. Cant wait for SWAT room to open!
Came here with work and had so much fun! It is an amazing team building experience and Chelsea was a very helpful guide :)
Well put together game with lots of challenges, so much fun!
We had so much fun here for my husbands birthday. From the first contact to the end of our adventure, everyone at the Hackensack location was absolutely wonderful and made our experience fantastic. Wed definitely go again!
Great experience!!! Went with a group of 6 of us and was placed with another group of 3 people we didnt know. I was skeptical at first but it was easy to work together and build as a team. we did the detective room and didnt make it out but if you work as a team it really helps things clickStaff was helpful and straightforwardTheme was fun and differentClues were hard and interesting and not cornyPhone number provided on website is text accessible and made communication very easy when signing up for room.Overall amazing experience and will be back!
It was so fun! Sha was amazing!!!!! The SWAT room was challenging but so cool! Definitely coming back!
I booked for 10 people for my boyfriends birthday and we had a blast! We all enjoyed it and the other group that was with us were awesome too! We definitely recommend this for anyone that likes puzzles and can handle the pressure! We will be going back to try other rooms for sure!
The puzzles were pretty confusing and challenging, but you can tell they put a lot of thought into designing these rooms. Personally, my friend and I have tried the detective room but they have a room for people like scary experiences.
This was so much fun!! The staff is amazing and it’s not simply escape rooms it’s so much more! Loved it.
AWESOME PLACE! We had a party of 15 people and we did the SWAT escape room and Human bumper balls. Jeff and Danielle were very helpful and patient with me when booking this party and gave us a great package. The escape room was extremely well done and a lot of fun. However, our favorite part was the Human bumper balls! I dont know of any other place in New Jersey that offers this! It was a blast and the girls that helped us had an awesome playlist that really made the experience. I absolutely recommend this place to any one of any age! Cant wait for their new attraction can you escape your D.R.E.A.M.S?!
My friends and I have done both rooms and both were lots of fun. Our experience was great, the employees were very nice and I would definitely recommend this place if your looking for one of the best escape rooms around!!
Super fun. horror room was worth it. cool staff
Awesome place, great people leading the escape room activity. I am a teacher and I took my class there!! I hiighly recommend.....
The room was challenging but my family had so much fun. Tony was an amazing host and super helpful!!!!!
Positives:Awesome gamemaster, very involved and enthusiastic.Good game with lots of creativity.The only escape room I have ever seen that had axe throwing and virtual reality and paintball and other stuff to do on other floors of the same building.Parking LotClean bathroomsParty Room for foodNegatives:Indian restaurant next door was kinda smelly.There is tons of construction in the area.The sign is tough to see from the street.The whole group agreed this place is top notch and we are all going to come back and throw axes!
A very fun and intellectually stimulating experience. I first participated in the regular themed room and then the horrored themed room. Both options were held in the same room, but my experiences were still unique, as I went with two different groups each time. (ADVICE for first timers: if you plan to come back, dont ask for the answers at the end of your session). They also managed to give a surprise birthday gift to my friend after I told someone in advance that we were celebrating her birthday. Lastly, if you like Indian food theres a nice Indian restaurant RIGHT next to the Escape Room building, called Art of Spice.
Great place VR is crazy fun Axe throwing even more Pierre was awesome, same as everyone else
Thanks Elias it was a really wonderful experience really cool everyone should come and try it thanks
Professional,Organized, Polite is what I can use to describe the staff here. They make sure your good time is made to every single event one of the lovely ladies Lucy took care of us and really showed us a good time at our station and every other coordinator we bumped into just made it such a great time to every event. Then Shantae with signing waivers and escorting us offering water bottles during our game and making sure we were ok and also our game master and the game was well ran and yes it was hard but it was fun with the family. Thank you for the Experience!!
Best Escape Rooms HANDS DOWN IN NJ! Very well put together rooms and each theme is very cool. You can choose from S.W.A.T or a haunted hotel room called Otherside. Did Both rooms last week with a couple of close friends and we had a blast. We didn’t have have an appointment and they allowed us to walk in anyway which we appreciated the staff was so nice. We waited a half hour while current room was done and we were able to do it at a last minute request as we didn’t know about appointments or anything so kudos to the team for allowing us in last minute because we LOVED IT!! They are doing Virtual Reality & Hachet Throwing soon so we are super excited the Manager Said next week should be opening up!!
A group of friends and I tried the “Escape room Detective version”. We definitely had a lot of fun figuring out codes, puzzles, riddles etc. We get to work as a team and having so much fun at the same time with our awesome game master Chelsea she gave us really awesome clues especially when we were stuck. Definitely coming back for more amazing experience! #LoveThisPlacePros:Game Master Chelsea very enthusiasticShantae thanks sample Axe CleanOrganizeSo much more different activity to doPrice is reasonableCons:People say parking tough We didn’t have a problem at all!
I will admit I was concerned about this place being ok for my kids (9 &12 year olds) as they were each bringing a friend I also had to think about being responsible for what the other kids see and do.I was pleasantly surprised when our Game Master introduced herself and explained what we would be doing, she was very friendly. I think she must have sensed my hesitation and thus she really tried and succeeded at putting me at ease. The game we played was the not Scary Game, it was great the kids had so much fun and my husband and I were very surprised at how much fun we had. The hour flew by and we didnt escape, but we came very close and honestly wanted more time! Loads of fun was had by all and we cant wait to play the bomb game they have next. The other kids parents actually heard how much fun we had from their kids and we are going to get a private room for the two families to play together....I cant wait!
Liked the experience. You can write anywhere on the walls and the previous answers could be seen. The puzzles can be a little more challenging.
We do Battle of the Sexes nights and so we had a group of 23 people, all in their later 20s and everyone had a blast. Neither group got out, but the Escape Room peeps made sure they gave us both an equal shot and calculated by tasks who got further in the room so there was an actual winner! Although it probably betters your chance of escaping, I suggest smaller groups of people, as there is so much going on and it gets distracting.I personally was in the SWAT room which was pretty cool, and a good variety of clues to work out. The guys did the Horror themed room, and all had a good time.We will definitely be going back and swap rooms to prove to the guys were just better than them!!
Had a great time! Mel was so nice and fun!
This place is off the hook. The staff the service and the number of experiences you can choose from. Highly recommend it.
Chelsea was such a great Ledder. She was so amazing
It was a total blast. Some of the best 5 hours for the entirety of the events. An amazing price deal for friends who want to have a fun time. Its really worth every penny and Im looking forward to my next visit ^///^
The mystery is real, as well as the thrill of solving these puzzles. Wanna try my luck again
Probably the most intricate and fun escape room Ive been to. (Ive only been to four others) But only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is instead of easing our curiosity after failure, they just offer a 50% off discount to try it again at a later time.I like knowing what the clue I was working on relates to, but I can understand why they wouldnt tell us... So people cant cheat, I guess.Edit: Went back for their scary Other Side room, and it was great. Dont want to give away any good details but it was certainly a solid room. Had a way better experience this time but honestly I was in a better headspace with my group this time, so that was probably the reason.Ive been to 5 different escape rooms and this place is definitely the most technological advanced one.
Awesome experience! Had me stumped! Sha was great
A thrilling experience that makes you want to come back for more! Scary detective work in the horror escape room
