I was in American dream mall with my wife for our fifth anniversary, we decided to end our day with the escape game, it was the best decision ever.... The staff was extremely helpful and nice, they were really trying to find what room would be best for us as 2 people alone, we chose the gold rush room, it was epic. Not to mention the tech in this room, the way things work is just mind blowing, its really cool the discoveries you make, and the surprises are endless, but even while in the room, the staff was helpfull, and gave us hints when we needed it, and really helped at the end with not much time left to make sure we can finish the game. It was really immersive and pleasant! To our surprise, in the 3rd room, there was an envelope that said "congratulations on 5 years" that was so nice! And inside, a themed custom happy anniversary card, signed on the back by all the staff, I really have no words, it was incredible! (Inside the envelope was something else as well, but I will not write that in public so no one comes around demanding for it.... but a huge thank you for that as well!!) I would definitely recommend this place, and I will be back!!

Kelly and Chelsie are absolutely amazing! We are not from NJ and Kelly was so patient and helped us find our way when we got super lost in this unfamiliar city! So grateful for them and their amazing customer service. We played their newest room, Cosmic Crisis and it was so so so good! Thank yall so much for the hospitality and for making our experience a great one 💗
