Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I had a great visit to the Empire State Building. The whole experience flowed very well and I thought the experience was worth the price I paid! Loved the history and old photos aspect as well as the highlight of things filmed there. Visiting was stepping into an iconic place. And the view was incredible! Would recommend a visit!

    Had an amazing time! The front staff Dave/Roxy were super helpful and friendly. Both the games we played were really fun and the interactive game rooms were really cool. Definitely going to come back and try some more. The Floor is Lava and the Alien Test were awesome group games. 10/10 would recommend.

    Dan White was incredible. We all left trying to figure out how he did what he did. Truly amazing. You won't be disappointed.

    Magical, we still can't figure out how he did all these wonderful tricks! I especially was entranced by the magic cane at the beginning of the show.

    We were so close to escaping the room. We had the clock tower and it was really cool. We brought our soon to be 9 yo daughter and thought it was really fun. We did have some difficulty but almost finished but time ran out as you only have 1 hour to complete.

    We loved the the End of Days room so much that we also tried the Carbon: 3708 later on the same day. Carbon was really challenging and we needed extra time and lots of hints to escape (and we are experienced at escape rooms.) End of Days was just the right amount of challenge. Staff was super friendly. Great location. We would like to return to do the third room.

    Accomplice is a thrilling adventure - an orchestrated mystery - through the streets of New York! Featuring quirky characters, clever twists, and unexpected turns, this blend of theater, scavenger hunt, and improv is nothing short of absolutely worth it!

    My husband and I are in our 60s and wanted to do something fun with our son (in his late 20s) who was visiting from LA. We had an absolute blast. We escaped with about 3 minutes to spare .It is the perfect mix of adrenaline rush and use of intellect. The Witch's Curse was beautifully designed and felt like an expensive movie set. Our game master Frida was terrific in helping us with clues and guidance. We were shocked to learn that she was practically brand new.

    This is by far the best thing I’ve ever done and the company went above and beyond I would highly recommend. Unfortunately my partner was facing backwards which means your view is limited and you have part of the structure obstructing the view but other than that it was absolutely amazing. There were only 4 of us in the back as no one was overly slim so we were very lucky. Thank you for being so efficient I would highly recommend to anyone and having seen all the other companies would definitely say you were the ones to choose thank you

    The best escape room we've done to date. We did this for my daughter's 15th birthday party and it was awesome, exceedingmy expectations. The setup is brilliant. Thank you to Sawyer for the clues and hosting an amazing experience.
