Great experience! We went to the the lab of bio hazard, where we solved many mysteries and successfully got out. Very unique fun activities, a challenge to intelligence, a good way to hang out with friends and spend time! Strongly recommend!

The Biohazard Lab was a fun Escape Room with differentiating puzzles and really made you think!
Loved it!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 4, 2023
I came here to try Room X with a group of 6. We had an 11am reservation. They told us to arrive fifteen minutes early and we were right on time but the location wasn't even open and they didn't let us in until just before our start time.
The building itself is a bit run down. They have a bunch of hand written, paper signs in the front window. They only have a single stall bathroom, which wasn't very clean.
The room itself was challenging. Depending on the size of your party, you are initially split into two rooms and have to solve the first half of puzzles separately before being brought together again. Note that you should have some comfort crawling or stooping close to the ground in order to fully participate in this room.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience. The puzzles were mostly spatial recognition, logic, and visual patterns. Those who are fast readers under pressure will have an edge.Helpful 8Thanks 2Love this 6Oh no 0 - Jennifer K.Williamsburg - North Side, Brooklyn, NY2573Oct 27, 2023

I absolutely love that OMEscape lets you book a private room for two people. They were super helpful with the booking process from start to finish, and the website enables you to chat with a real person. The biohazard room was really fun and solvable within the time. Next time we're back in NYC, we'll definitely book here again.

I've been to escape room in Baltimore and other country but OMEscape was the best so far.
We picked the Time travel one and we had so much fun, the technology inside the room made it more exciting.
Henry was very patient and helpful in giving us clues (when needed).
I went with the other 4 people who was first timer and they loved it. We didn't make it out unfortunately but definitely a family fun birthday celebration at OMEscape.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bailey S.Portland, OR0545Oct 23, 2021
My group and I had a great time playing the Room X escape room! The host (I think his name is Gene!) was very friendly throughout and gave us great clues when needed without giving away the answers. We managed to beat the room with just a few minutes to spare. It was definitely pretty challenging but not too hard where it felt impossible. We will definitely be back to try out the other rooms here!

Highly recommended!
I have very excited time here. I went to the Bio Lab. I have been the final stop. The equipment inside the lab is very amazing. Hi-tech ! We have five people in total. It's very easy to make an appointment in advance.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Apr 14, 2018
I was looking for a fun activity to do with some friends while I was in NY and stumbled across this Yelp-rated 4.5 star escape room so we thought it'd be worth a try.
We were a party of 4 and did Room X which had a pretty interesting concept/storyline. My group successfully escaped in time but my overall review of it would be that it was just ok.
The cinematics and design of the rooms were pretty cool (no spoilers here), but my group found that some of the locks/codes were fidgety. Like we would input the correct code but the locks wouldn't open or we would all 4 decide that the clue gave us a certain number but it wouldn't be that number. This gave us unnecessary anxiety and wasted a lot of our time.
As featured on their main webpage, I did like how they integrated lasers into their rooms. It's pretty innovative considering I've never seen it before in Toronto (I've done maybe 4-5 escape rooms before). Overall I would say I've been to better-designed rooms before but this one wasn't bad!

Hello Tracy,
Thanks for the review. We investigated the code combination thing you mentioned. We think you are talking about the lock in the 2nd room? The combination is right for sure but there is one number needs to be hearing very carefully. That number is a trick since we don’t want to make the puzzle to straight forward. It is part of the challenge. This one number could be easily heard as other number if it was not listened very carefully.
We really appreciate the review. We will continue improving ourselves!
