I had the most WONDERFUL experience at Spyscape. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Not only were the people AMAZING, but the museum and the games were just way too much fun and interesting.
I personally made a mistake due to not reading the website correctly, so I ended up purchasing two tickets instead of one (I was going alone), assuming it was for both areas of Spyscape. I was fully mentally prepared to lose the money, but management was kind enough to offer me a refund. I even got a free hat out of the experience? Which was just too kind? They helped me pair up with another family (a celebrity which was another cool experience), so I was able to play Spy Games.
Overall, they were incredibly accommodating, incredibly professional, and incredibly kind. Ira specifically went above and beyond to make my first solo trip to New York memorable, and I will be thinking about this trip for a long time.
Thank you for being so kind, it's moments like these, these interactions with other people, that make life a little more worth it.
Wishing you all the best from Costa Rica :DHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 40159167Jun 4, 2024
This museum has so much potential. Unfortunately, due to the inadequate explanation of how the experience was supposed to work, I was confused and disinterested throughout my time in Spyscape.
Right off the bat, the employees did not seem to know what was going on. We stood around for about ten minutes, followed by a far too quiet and far too lacking explanation of what we were supposed to do. The museum has these digital stations set up around it and you're supposed to follow arrows on the floor to each one, scan a bracelet for each station? I really wasn't sure and had to guess at what I was doing. Initially, I did not mind, because I loved reading the bits of information on the walls and seeing the pieces of spyware.
Lo and behold, the digital stations were really important to the "end goal" of the experience: finding out which type of spy you are. Oh well.
All in all, although this museum was touted as a "#1 rated NYC experience" (or something like that), the operation is poorly executed and explained. I definitely had some fun or cool moments, but I'd much rather have spent my lost hour or so walking around the city. Would not recommend and will not return.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Apr 1, 2024
As we were looking for something fun to do while in NYC, we happened to find the SPYGAMES Experience (within the SPYSCAPE building) and we're so happy we did because we had a blast.
We bought the tickets online and reserved a spot for a Friday afternoon. Once we arrived, they scanned our tickets and we were guided to the 2nd floor which is where the SPYGAMES area is located. Wristbands were given to each of us and we activated the wristbands at the kiosk before playing.
Upon entering the gaming area, we were able to stand in the lobby and watch all of the games displayed on the wall being played by others. Each game was inside of a gaming room and was very interactive. We were able to play any of the games that were available or wait outside until others finished the game; each game was timed and lasted less than 2 mins. The games were based on memory, strategy and agility that tested both mental and physical skills and we tried to play as many as we could before our allotted time was up. Unfortunately, waiting for the game rooms to be available became somewhat of a hassle so we didn't get to play them all.
SPYSCAPE includes the SPYGAMES and the SPY HQ, which is an area within the museum where you can break codes and solve problems. I would recommend this interactive museum for families, date nights or groups. Other areas of the museum included items for purchase, books for sale and a sitting area. We absolutely loved this experience and had a great time.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Isaiah D.Lower East Side, New York, NY1326Feb 23, 2024
This is a refreshing way to challenge yourself, to have fun and get to know your physical and mental ability and agility.
My resilience to never give up was also tested!
Will sure be coming back with my buddies!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 21, 2024Updated review
I didn't go to spyscape the second time. I ended up just going to check out spygames instead. It reminds me of this place with a chain/ franchise called activate. Where you form groups and play these interactive games. Before you go in, you are briefed by the people who work there, and you check in on a tablet. Also, they have individual lockers for you to use if you'd like. There is a restroom right by the lockers, so there is no need to find one elsewhere at spyscape. It is a separate charge, and in order to play the game, you need a bracelet that has a chip inside of it. No phones allowed while you're there. But you won't have time to use your phones so that's fine. I would like to go back with more people as some of these games you can earn more points with a larger team and advance to a better status.

Hello JiHae, thank you so much for your positive review and we are thrilled you enjoyed your visit with us.
Jan 7, 2020Previous reviewWe paid for our ticket online and it was $5 cheaper. So if anyone wants to find admission to this place to be cheaper there you have it.
I didn't know what to expect, except that since it's a Saturday that the lines would be outrageous. I was right as the lines were crazy but it was still enjoyable. I did everything in around 2 hours. If I tried to take my time it would've taken me even longer to complete.
All in all, I do recommend this place for everyone above 10 years old. There are challenges which I don't want to ruin that are meant for older kids and adults. - Dec 21, 2023
This was a great learning experience and fun experiment!
I've always been intrigued by spy movies and real-life stories. Virginia Hall was amazing!!
This is a must visit when in NYC!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Jan 28, 2024
Signed up to be a beta tester for their Spygames after having visited the Spyscape museum within the same building. The museum was great and was filled with espionage-related historical information and had interactive stations where you can build your own spy profile. Your scores at these interactive stations are tracked through a wristband you receive at the front desk when you sign in.
The Spygames area is still in development but you can sign up as beta testers in groups of 2-6. Your entire team go through different zones with different objectives that test your ability to strategize, work together and under pressure, as well as some of your physical abilities. It was a great and fun experience to do. I would suggest signing up for a non prime time slot to avoid crowds.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 1082691782Jan 6, 2024
I was one of their beta testers for their new spy games! If you have done Beat The Bomb, it's a similar concept to that.
There are about 10 rooms that you will go through as a team to beat a timer and gain a certain amount of points. Some of the rooms entail:
1. "Climbing"
2. Throwing balls
3. Jumping on tiles/marks
4. Dodging lasers and hitting a buzzer
I came here as a two-player team and saw this via an ad. For $20/person, I highly recommend going here, whether it's a family outing, friends, or a date.
I'd say that it took about 1.5 hour to get through everything and a lot of teamwork. What's great about these rooms is that you also don't have to go in order. You can pick and choose.
There were a lot of people total, so we had to wait occasionally for our turn.
Will definitely visit again to show others! Unless they change the rooms up, I would say this is a once in every few years activity for me.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kassandra C.Corona, CA308276Jun 27, 2024
Such a fun experience! Definitely come with tennis shoes and energy as each zone has you running around. Staff was also very friendly and the experience wasn't too expensive. We would definitely recommend visiting this experience!
