The area
Address
Neighbourhood: French Quarter
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty Mississippi, the French Quarter has long been a port of call for folks in search of a good time and a great story. Perpetually inebriated Bourbon Street runs across its midriff like a strand of cheap ribbon tied around an otherwise rather pretty and impressively well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the Quarter, brightly colored Victorian homes and businesses, famously done up with wrought-iron features, provide a distinct and immediately recognizable backdrop for all varieties of fun. At any given moment in this historic riverside setting, some of America’s finest meals are being cooked, most potent cocktails are being mixed, and most engaging music is being performed.

Our visit to escape game was alot of fun. Everyone there was very nice and knowledgeable about the game. We ran a little late getting there but they still got us in pretty quick and we had a great time. I would highly recommend doing it if you've never tried it.

We’ve now done 3 of the 4 rooms offered here and loved each one! Special ops was amazing! The heist could have been built to be more intuitive. Prison break was a fun time as well, though we happened to be with a bunch of rowdy and confused elderly people. It was fun but boy, what even happened?!? Special ops is just so well put together though, I can’t speak highly enough for how everything flowed so nicely!

Great experience - we did Special Ops with 4 people - and escaped. It wasnt easy but we did it with only minutes to spare. The only bummer was some of the things in the room didnt work properly, causing a little confussion and cost precious time. Did it take away from the experience? no, because we made it out. Had we not, it would have been due to thier equpment not working properly.

The employees are very fun and personable. The room I played was unique and enjoyably challenging. I would definitely recommend others to give this place a go. Although I was surprised that the rooms weren’t New Orleans themed, it’s nice to get “away” from the city for an hour too (I’m a NOLA resident)

This will be the 4th room here in New Orleans I've done at the Escape game and having now done rooms at every escape room in New Orleans this is no question the best one. The workers are all very friendly, Krysti the GM is great, the rooms are all very high production value, and they're difficult without being impossible. This time my friends and I did the Heist room, and like I said it was still very good, but I would say of the 4 options here it was the worst one. I'd still probably give it an 8 out of 10, but it clearly had suffered some wear, and didn't have as high of production value as the others. I'd say the Special Ops mission was the best, followed by the Playground, then the Prison Break and lastly the Heist. Again, I think all 4 are great though so you really can't go wrong, but if you can only do 1 because you're in town for a short time, I'd recommend Special ops.
Hopefully they add more rooms to this location because my group of friends and I are dying to get more and would gladly pay to do so. Thanks again Krysti for all your help! We had a wonderful time and really think you will too.

This was our first Escape Room adventure and it did not disappoint. We had 36 seconds left on the clock, but we did it! It took all five of us and we did so well working as a team. The employees were so kind and helpful. Definitely do one of these in your next trip!

The Escape Game has some of the best rooms in New Orleans. As someone who works at an escape room I always find myself paying close attention to details in the room and seeing how the room flows and how the puzzles work together and coordinate to the theme of the room. I also tend to pay attention to how the game masters help you along the way. I can say that I have not been disappointed in the rooms or the game masters! They definitely show that they are there to make sure you have the best time!

We had a blast with strangers on our Third Escape Room in 2 days. NOLA is loaded with great activities & this place you can’t miss if you’re a gamer. Loving all the different themes & creative story lines.
