Let the grandkids give it a try with their dad. Took the time to talk with the manager and found him to be quite pleasant and fun to talk to. His staff were on the ball when it came to rules for covid and the interaction with customers. Worth while to spend time there if you like puzzles to solve. A little expensive yet worth it.

We only did the mirror maze which was fun. My six year old had fun. We did it forwards than backwards. Would like to check the other stuff out but its a bit pricey.

We went to 5 Wits for part of a bachelorette party and completed three of the four possible adventures. We had a BLAST. It was so much fun, and I cant wait to try more! The space one was the best out of the three we tried. The employees were very friendly and helpful.

It was by far a great time I loved it as did the family we all had a blast even my 1 year old

Very creative interactive game. I loved it. Highly recommend.

Brought my Friend who was visiting to try out all 4 of the 5 Wits experiences. It was loads of fun we spread over 2 days. Convenient and clean bathrooms. Exceptional visual effects and scenery. Better than any mystery room i have ever gone to

Lot of fun for all ages that are active. If you already like escape rooms and you enjoy puzzles, this is the thing for you. It tells a story with challenges to complete that are a lot of fun and not as simple as putting the circle punch into the square hole. Staff really gets into it which is really nice for the experience. 5 stars all around. Would do again.

Ive been at least 6 times, had a blast each time. Half the time I took my kids, the other with relatives in from out of town. There are different adventures- Deep Space (my personal favorite), Dragos Castle, Espionage and Tomb. They are interactive puzzle solving rooms, figure it out or not you still advance. Very detail orientated, very imaginative. You cant not have fun here.

Lots of fun. Some of the puzzles are genuinely difficult, even for adults, but most are fairly simple. The deal to buy all 4 tokens for one price was a steal.This is fun for all ages and the effects within the experiences were well designed and really immersed you in the stories. It took the better part of an afternoon to go through all 4 stories, and it says there are branching storyline.

Worth going just for the enthusiasm from the employees. These people love their jobs, and I cant blame them! Either that or theyre all great actors.Either way, if you enjoy puzzles, are looking for a team building exercise, or a great spot for a date, look no further!

We had 10 kids for a birthday (6-11) and two adults. Our host great! We arrived, we were taken right into our party room. We opted for the basic package with drinks. (they offer pizza pkg and supreme pkg). You can choose to have the party room before during or after your experience. We choose to have it after. The kids did two of the four experiences that Syracuse location offers (Adult chaperones went as well) All 12 of us fit into the rooms fine. Although I would split the groups up after having been in a room with 10 chiefs and no Indians! :) The tomb was a bit scary for the six year old. The others didnt mind it at all. We also did Espionage which proved to be to hard on this group. We were led back to the room at the end of the adventure where we had the celebration part of the party. Everything went smooth and in a timely fashion. Our host was great, patient and smiling the entire time! We would definitely return with a party again and gladly recommend it to others!

Did the four room package. All rooms were tons of fun. Four people was a good group size. Highly recommended

We always love going here! Its the same concept in each room with amazing themes and an adventure everytime.

Had a lot of fun! Did it as our annual xmas event. Would definitely go back again. Nicely run and no waiting.

A great adventure to share with family or friends! Each adventure is unique and challenging in its own way. Beat your time to improve your score. I highly recommend this place!

We did the pharaohs tomb and we really enjoyed it. Family of four, the children are aged 9 and 11. P.S. the kids enjoyed it so much we went back and did the spy one. It was also a good time! Cant wait to go try the other two

Five wits is an awesome experience and a great time with anyone if you with your friends or co-workers its just fun and makes you want to just do all of them the only downside is they are a little pricey but they are more than worth the money

Very fun and challenging team building activity.Weve been here several times and the experience never disappoints.My only negative about this location is that I believe the manager Rob should work more on his approach, delivery, and situational awareness in a more professional manner.

Loved our 5 wits experience. Even our 3 yo had fun tagging along with us. Our favorite was the space themed expedition. Great family activity and different than other escape rooms weve done.

Theres a lot to do in the summer for the family. Its a great place for an afternoon out and is always so clean.

Super fun! More directed and more physical than escape rooms but still tests your mind. The only reason its not 5 stars is once youve gone once there isnt really much else to do. The rooms are great but the novelty wears off once youve done them all. The staff has always been friendly and helpful.

One of the most immersive interactive experiences Ive had. The puzzles are diverse and unique to solve and not just padlock/combinations

Great production value! We spent a really fun afternoon here, solving all the puzzles.

Great Place for a Challenging good time, familys or just an adult adventure. We loved this place!

Have 4 people in your group because some of the puzzles actually need 4 sets of hands. Worth every penny.

Very fun place for families and friends of all ages. The Tomb and Deep Space challenges were my favorite. Id recommend doing at least two. Enjoy!

Super fun and novel. The rooms dont change so there are only so many times you can do it.

A continuous nonstop adventure you and your friends can enjoy, solve, and create new memories! 5 Wits offers great puzzles to solve which are themed around Egypt, Space, and more. Get a jumpstart into a new adventure today and experience something like never before! A gift shop area is also provided within the store. The staff are apart of the games and make the experience more real/fun for all ages. I highly suggest trying this out if you have not before. You will not regret it!

Had such a great time! The staff was excellent and very friendly and helpful! This is a very cool thing to try, even with just two people. We only did 2 of the rooms, and cant wait to come back and try the other 2. I would definitely recommend this place!

Such great fun! Its more interactive than an escape room, and the people working there were fantastic! I would definitely go back!

Its definitely something fun and different to do with a lot of friends.

Had a blast for my 1st time.Bringing my son soon!

When we came here on vacation, we were planning on doing 5 Wits once. We loved it so much that we did it twice! It really gives a grand sense of immersive adventure that made it an absolute delight.

Have you ever wished that you could be trapped in an Egyptian pyramid or Medieval castle and the only way out is to figure out a few puzzles? If so, this is definitely the place for you. It is a pretty enjoyable place, perhaps a tad on the scary side for younger children but for 10 and up this is a great family/group activity.

A great way to spend the afternoon. I do suggest getting as many rooms as you can afford. Its worth the experience. We had a blast learning to work with one another. It was challenging and fun. I highly recommend this experience over a mystery room.

This is a fun place for parents and kids. The spaceship quest is reminiscent of the game PORTAL. The mummy quest is fun and not for the faint of heart, I really was panicking when the ceiling was coming down to crush us. Volume levels and difficulty of puzzles are my only complaints aside from pricing.

Great time, these escape rooms are somewhat challeneging for the average person but fun nonetheless. The rooms vary in difficulty. They arent the cheapest but they are worth every penny. I will be coming back to go through the rooms again, I have to beat my scores! Youll have a great time doing them solo or with a large group.

Had an awesome time there and cant wait to do it again!

Lots of fun! Sadly they dont change up the attractions but if its your first time, its super cool!

5 Wits is an amazingly fun place to go. Even after playing all four adventures many times myself, Ive brought my friends and family through as well! Hell, Id even go again now.If you go, buy all four tickets at once. They dont expire and costs less than buying them four separate times.

Its pretty cool for something to do with your family. At $20 pp its a little steep for a few minutes of fun...but it is a good time.

This place is incredibly fun! The puzzles are hard, but not too hard! This is a great place to take kids, they love it! The staff is so friendly and helpful as well!

The best 5 wits out there, with four of the five Adventures available, and reasonably priced, this is absolutely one of the best things in Destiny USA, if you happen to be in the mall and have some time to spend, definitely check this location out you will not be disappointed.

Had the most fun ever. No matter how old you are, your guaranteed to enjoy yourself. Prices are very reasonable for all ages.

This place is fun and stimulating. Great places for a group event,and team building

We experienced the espionage adventure. We struggled matching up the missile puzzle, but nailed the rest. The best value is the buy all 4 at one time and go through the experiences you have time for or do them later.

To start, the staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. They stay in character and seem generally interested in making sure you enjoy the experience at all times. The place is clean and looks taken care of. The activities are fun, challenging and offer some excitement. Weve done 3 of the 4 adventures so far. I plan to do them all and then repeat!

Most fun Ive had in an escape room

My family and I did all 4 adventures. It was very interactive and lots of fun.

Im 29 and this place is so fun!. Wouldnt bring kids under 8 or so since some puzzles are complex. But overall really fun. Would def go back

So Fun & Amazing!! You really feel like youre on an adventure in another dimension!

It was fun but super easy. I was bummed out that in one of the rooms we got the puzzle right but something was broken and said we didnt do it. It wouldnt recognize the pieces being put in place

Knock knockWhom is it?You if you like fun...

I would have given 5 wits a 5 star if only they would make it more younger kicks a** pull my sons 8 years old yeah he had fun but I think he could a had a lot more fun if they could I take in the age group down just a little bet or even make the exhibits change every time you go back

I took my 5 year old son. It was challenging as a first timer/adult. Instructions for puzzles were tricky. I apparently sucked because i got a lot of hints to help me along the way. We did the castle one. The end was hard but scary and exciting for my son. Def plan to do this again.

Trip to NY and we decided to waste some time at the mall. This place is awesome. We had a party of 3 adults and did all of the rooms and were overly satisfied for the price we paid. Would 100% return on our next trip to NY!

Great fun!

Five Wits is basically an escape room type game that is heavy on the audio/video content and features very elaborate props and environments. Because of these elements the games are quite immersive--players are surrounded by the sights and sounds of the intended environment and cant help but feel engaged.The puzzles do tend to be a little on the simple side but are engaging enough to be fun for adults and teenagers. Of course, like an escape room, once a participant has completed a scenario they really cant play again since they know all the solutions.

Me and my boyfriend had a lot of fun. Each room was very well made and quiet interesting and we really enjoyed it. You are able to get lockers for a quarter, so its nice to leave your things behind and just enjoy yourself.

A great place to bring the kids or family, a bit of an expense but worth it to see the family happy

Been once yet it was amazing. Havent been to a better one. My husband and I went for an anniversary, and we had so much fun. It helped us work together and the whole time we had so much fun. It was fun, challenging, and truly well worth the money.

My son and I enjoyed going here to celebrate my birthday and although my son has Aspergers he felt very engaged and comfortable. The atmosphere in the ambience of the place created a suspenseful evening.

Weve been to 5Wits a couple of times. Its fun, but definitely not worth the $20-per-ticket price tag. We solved our puzzle in about 20 minutes, and I paid for five tickets. Thats $100 for 20 minutes of entertainment. To put that into perspective, it would have cost half as much to go to the movies, where wed have been entertained for two hours. Overall, the story was fine, though the acting was pretty silly. It was too hokey to be immersive. If youve got lots of spendable cash, its fun. But you might find yourself wishing youd spent your money elsewhere.

Working with Tia in Group Sales was an effortless and positive experience. She explained everything well and helped accommodate the needs of my event. The staff at 5 Wits Syracuse was also very helpful and accommodating. Not only are the adventures fun and exciting, working with the staff is a pleasure. Win-Win!

Crazy fun for all ages. Its wildly fun to do with your friends.

I enjoyed my time here when I went to visit my family

Never had a bad experience until today. Due to medical issues, I sometimes have issues and have had to exit early in the past. For this reason I can’t be grouped with strangers. Today after explaining my situation to an employee I was met with an eye roll but said it was possible.After an hour of waiting we were herded in with a group despite my situation and tears.HOWEVER the manager, John, was amazingly helpful and MORE than accommodating. I will return because of the excellent management and (usually) accommodating employees.Without the manager this would easily have been a one star day.

This place has multiple rooms you can pick from. Great for all ages. I felt the rooms were pretty short, but still fun. A bit pricey. The staff was very friendly and inviting.

My family and I loved it! Its best with smaller groups of friends - maybe no more than 6. Two people works, but 4 people is probably best!

What a great way to get out of the house and use your mind to solve puzzles.

Super fun and prices for all 4 rooms was a great deal!

What a blast to do with a family. The cost in comparison to other escape rooms is the best. The themes are different and great. Wish we had one of these in Ontario.

We kinda fumbled through and no one was around when we finished so ....

Really cool! Did the space one with my 2 buddies and got 88! Then we did the secret agent one and sucked lol. I guess it depends on your party... Fun for all ages!

The mirror in one of the puzzles is not very polished and some of the buttons in a different one are not very functional all in all pretty fun

Spaghetti warehouse is there, excellent food

This was awesome we had so much fun! Cant wait ti go back again!

Great place to visit. Fun and immersive puzzles.

Amazing immersive entertainment. Wonderful staff and the puzzle rooms are just so much fun.

It’s fun the 1st time you go. The exhibits don’t change, so the 2nd time you go through, it’s not very challenging. A bit expensive, but then again, all things are at Destiny.

Super fun...and challenging!

Very fun, a little expensive and Id say the puzzles are too easy/a drag for adults, but if you have kids or just want to kill an hour its a good choice if youre willing to spend. Great for kids

An amazing battle of the minds, heart pumping, laughing and using your mind! Great fun place !

Been here a couple times. Would highly recommend the Ancient Egypt escape room!

This place is incredible. So much fun to do each adventure and the staff is fantastic. Buy all 4, its the best deal and you can come back to do them later. The thing I was most impressed by is the superb production quality. It really felt like an attraction at a mega theme park, like Universal Studios. Cant wait to go back!

Great room experiences and wonderful customer service.

I love these types of mystery solving rooms where you gotta sherlock your way out with strangers or friends. Id reccomend it. Looses its pezaz after going through each a few dozen times but still fun!

Really awesome strongly suggest it. HAVE FUN!!!!

Went here with my boyfriend for our date and tried out one. It was pretty fun though somethings didny work as well as expected. Like when we had to reflect a light but it wasnt reflecting well off the tiles so it took a while just too get it too work. Even with the little things I still really loved it . I wouldnt take our kids here though just bc I can see mine getting really scared from being shut in a dark room, even with us right with them. I would glady do another room with my love! We were there earlier in the day so there wasnt a lot if people and we did have much of a wait.

This place was a lot of fun. Currently 4 different escape rooms are offered with vastly different themes. None of the puzzles were repeated from room to room. The staff was incredibly friendly. There is also a level of replay availbe in the rooms as you try yo beat your previous score or time, or try to find the secrets available in each location. Each room take a about 30 minutes. Tickets range from 18 for 1 room or 30 for all 4 rooms. Definitely a great place for parties, families or friends.

Fun place to have fun with the family going through the different mystery rooms

Fun escape room type activities with puzzles. Very modern.

Interactive and fun. Great bonding time!

This place is amazing and the attention to detail is perfection great for kids and young adults this is our favorite place to visit outside of the Museum of intrigue which is 4 stores over. We make it a game night between the two amazing stores!

A lot of fun for me and my friend before I had to leave.

Came in last night with my friends to buy a water, but was convinced by an extremely attractive, green-eyed, beautiful bearded staff member named Brian to try an adventure. We did Deep Space, and had way more fun than we thought we would. Will definitely be returning to try the other ones (and hopefully see that gorgeous lumberjack again).

Second time here and we were victorious again. Definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to have fun with friends and family.

My husband and I went with my parents and we had a blast!

Brings together a group of people to work together to achieve a common goal. Ive done them all!#Teamwork#Power#PowerToThePeople#Fun#Bonding#Friends#Family#FriendsAndFamily

Good fun, kinda expensive, and less fun to repeat
