Escape Artistry - Time Gallery

  Held an 8 year old birthday party. They were so flexible and all 12 kids loved it.

  Friendly staff but the quality of the escape room wasn't quite on par with others - and no AC 🙁

  It was ok; staff were difficult to communicate with and one of the locks was sticking. Despite there being a speaker in the room, staff would only communicate by slow... read more typing.

Staff member was angry when we arrived because we had planned to complete waivers on site. This was because we had someone international with us and wanted to confirm his vax card was acceptable. We left plenty of time to do so.

The room itself was ok, but staff member was unhelpful to the point of making the experience subpar.

  Fun! We enjoyed Operation G.R.A.N.I.E. with four adults and two kids.  The operator gave us a good blend of help when we needed it, so we were able to squeeze... read more out a victory for our 9-year old's birthday.

  We did this as a family, 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 9 and 11).  It was fun but a little tricky because of all the puzzles to solve.  We... read more barely finished but we did just in time, although we did have to get some clues for help.  I thought I read that this was one of the easier ones but it turns out afterwards we were told it was one of the harder ones.  The room decorations were fun and creative.  We had a good time and that's what we were hoping for!  Other than the idea of a train blowing up, there wasn't anything scary about it for kids.  I would recommend.

  Had a great time! Such a great set up and they were so kind and encouraging (even if the kiddos didn't want it!!) would def come back again!

  I went with my girlfriend and another friend couple and we've been to multiple escape rooms both together and separately. I will definitely say, this one was a great change... read more due to how unique the escape room is compared to others! Unfortunately we didn't escape, but it was definitely a great experience and I highly recommend trying it out for newcomers and veterans to escape rooms. Our enthusiastic host was also amazing as well and helped us along the way!

  My family and I did the Railcar!  Lots of fun. We were able to get out with just under 2 minutes to spare.  The hints were ver helpful!  Can't wait... read more to try the other rooms. Would highly recommend!

  What a great escape room! Really fun and challenging puzzles. Our guide was great and we loved the pirate theme!

  We had a fantastic time today.  There were multiple puzzles to solve at one time, so this is great for groups, although there was just two of us and we... read more got out.  Our puzzled master helped us a ton when we couldn't do math.  Really enjoyed the entire experience.

  I'm afraid to count how many escape rooms I've done at this point, but suffice it to say that it's been a few. Overall, I enjoyed this experience and would... read more recommend it. It wasn't perfect or an all-time favorite for me, but it's worth a visit.

The biggest negative was finding the building itself; I didn't see any instructions or directions in my email  which was surprising because the entrance was unbelievably hidden. (We joked that the first part of the game was actually getting into it in the first place.) Once the Gamemaster directed us to the tucked away door and gave us the code to get in, we weaved our way up the stairs and through the Flatiron Building to find the lone room where The Railcar is hosted.

We had a Gamemaster in training who was nice and enthusiastic but (in my opinion) hadn't quite worked down what to tell us in their introduction versus what to let us get from watching the intro videos before the room and in the room. It may be because we pre-gamed our escape with a cocktail, but of all the escape room videos I've seen, this one was the most confusing (and difficult to hear). I don't think that really changed anything about completing the puzzles but it definitely made the context of the escape really confusing.

I found some of these puzzles frustrating because some rely on prior knowledge or physical coordination. I prefer puzzles that are contextually self-contained and use information and objects in the room rather than prior knowledge or skill.

At the end of the day this was a fun room that I'd recommend but it didn't blow me out of the water.

  Really fun, great time. We made it out before the time was over and had the most amazing host! Was super kind and funny!
