It really depends upon the group and what you’re looking for. There’s nothing else quite like 5 Wits, it’s sort of like if Disney had made a family friendly, high-throughput escape-room-like experience about a decade ago.

If you have a group of kids, or are interested in their tech and approach, it’s fantastic.

If you’re looking for something that resembles a traditional escape room, it’s not going to be what you’re looking for.

And I wouldn’t hype it too much. If you have finite time in NYC, it might be a bit too far. I hope this helps.

Sorry we somehow missed this comment last week while we were traveling.

8 is a very large group for a New York City game… especially with an engaged enthusiast group.

If you all want to play in the same room at the same time, I’d suggest Clock Tower, Escape the Room NYC. Most everything else you’d be better off splitting into two different groups.

I just updated! Thanks for the reminder. We haven’t played too many local games this summer, but we expect more updates this fall/winter.

We’d been meaning to update this list for quite some time when you left this comment… so we finally did. Thanks for the nudge. We’ve removed the closed games, shuffled the categories a bit, and added/dropped a few games from the lists. We’re looking forward to a few new rooms opening in NYC this summer and once we play and review the new games, we’ll make additional updates here. As always, if you have any specific questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
