I brought my family and a few friends here for my birthday. We did the apartment room. When we wakes in we were greeted with a warm hello, the staff was absolutely wonderful and very informative. It is a nice cozy atmosphere and you only Wait a few min and then you're brought right into the room. Our room host was Alyssa. She was fantastic and had a very nice personality, the room was so cool itself with AWESOME hidden secrets and clues. It was definitely one of the top rooms I've done in awhile. My whole party enjoyed the experience and we will definitely be coming back !

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children 8+ who enjoy puzzle-solving challenges, but expect inconsistent quality. When staff are attentive and rooms work properly, it can be a great experience, but maintenance issues and variable service make it risky for special occasions or families with very young children.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Ask about room condition and any broken mechanisms before starting
⏰Bring phone flashlights as rooms can be very dark
🎟️Expect 60-minute sessions with staff providing hints via screen
πŸš—Not recommended for children under 6 due to darkness and potential staff issues

β€œWe did the Subway Escape Room at Can You Escape? in Mineola and had a great time! The concept was creative and challenging, and the staff was super friendly and helpful with hints that kept it fun without giving too much away. Some of the props and clues were a bit worn down, especially the subway map pieces and a few items like the measuring tape and backpack items, which made the final puzzle tough to finish. At the end of our 60 minutes, the staff member kindly showed us how the last step worked, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a clever and exciting experience that just needs a little refresh on the props. We’d definitely come back to try another room!”
