Brooklyn Escape Room: City Point Games & 60-Minute Challenges

Summary

Brooklyn escape rooms at City Point with six unique adventures

You’ll dive into one of six themed Brooklyn escape rooms at City Point, racing against the clock with friends or strangers-turned-teammates. Expect clever puzzles, laughter (and maybe some shouting), plus support from your game guide throughout your 60-minute adventure. Includes admission and time for photos after you break free—or don’t! The thrill sticks with you longer than you’d expect.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the weird hush that fell over our group when the door clicked shut behind us. It’s not scary, just this sudden “okay, now it’s real” feeling. Our guide — I think her name was Maya — gave us a little grin and told us we’d have exactly 60 minutes to get out. The clock started ticking, and someone (not naming names) immediately tried to open a locked drawer with brute force. Didn’t work. You really do have to use your brain in these Brooklyn escape rooms, which is both fun and kind of humbling.

I picked Cosmic Crisis because my cousin’s obsessed with space stuff, but honestly all six games sounded wild. There’s one where you’re supposed to find gold in California, and another about escaping prison — apparently that one is the hardest. We ended up working with two strangers who joined our game last minute (you can book privately if you want), and it was actually hilarious how fast we became a team. At one point, someone shouted out a clue so loudly that people in the next room probably heard. The puzzles are clever without being impossible — though I did spend way too long trying to decode a color pattern that turned out to be… well, let’s just say obvious in hindsight.

Afterwards, we all spilled out into the bright City Point hallway still arguing about who solved what. Maya met us again for a quick debrief and even snapped a goofy photo of us holding up “We Escaped!” signs (I looked ridiculous). There are tons of places nearby for food — Fat Fowl smells amazing when you walk past — so we grabbed lunch and kept replaying the best moments. I still think about that feeling when the last lock clicked open; it’s like your brain does a little victory dance you know?
