About us
Looking to play escape rooms around NYC? You’ve found your people.
Whether you’re a seasoned escape room pro or a total first-timer, you’re welcome here. Escape rooms are better with a mix of minds, and new players often bring fresh perspectives that help the whole team. Plus, it’s a fun, low-pressure way to meet new people and make friends.
New to escape rooms?
Escape rooms (also called escape games) are interactive, hour-long adventures set inside themed rooms full of puzzles, clues, and mysteries. You and a small group work together to solve challenges and escape before time runs out.
How our meetups work:
We play an escape room together, and often grab food or drinks before or after. It’s social, collaborative, and always a good time—no matter your experience level.
Our mission:
- Support local escape room businesses
- Help people find others to play with
- Build community and real friendships
We’ve been escaping since May 2017 and have hosted 150+ events across the NYC area.
Community & perks:
This group is sponsored by Morty, an app built by escape room enthusiasts to help you track, search, and book escape rooms.

After a long journey, you finally arrive late at night. The cabin sits in darkness, barely visible through the fence as your headlights cut through the trees. Peering through a broken window, you spot strange red marks down the hallway… and Nana isn’t answering your calls.
Did someone break into the cabin? What really happened here? And where is Nana Hannah?Your team must search the cabin, uncover clues, and piece together the mystery before time runs out. ⏳🕵️♀️
