The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Midtown
This is the iconic New York that so many visitors imagine before they visit—spectacular skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building, iconic public buildings like Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library, and the non-stop hustle and bustle of the city streets. Fifth Avenue is a shopper's heaven where you can find every kind of store imaginable, with fashion brands ranging from the affordable to the ultra-fancy. Visit the Rockefeller Center to experience towering Art Deco grandeur, and foodies will love the busy restaurants that stay open late in Koreatown. After dark, Midtown calms down a bit, but at any time of day or night it still feels 100% New York.

    Goblin mode
    Four friends took me to the virtual reality escape room GOBLIN’S QUEST (colon) THE UPRISING for my birthday this year! We had a blast solving puzzles and being goblins. In terms of the escape room itself, to be honest, the plot was pretty sparse and confusing and the puzzles were not the most challenging. But this was more than made up for by the immersive experience, the hilarious character design, and the fun voice acting of the NPCs. The staff at Escape Virtuality were very helpful, professional and efficient. There was one snafu where we stood in a virtual white expanse after my batteries got changed, but they were able to reset us into the game. We didn’t try any of the other VR experiences but they looked cool too. I’d recommend this as a fun activity for a group of friends!

    Great Experience
    The staff were very nice and very accommodating when we finished the escape room early. The Goblin Escape room was very funny in terms of the design, but the puzzles were not that challenging. I think would be more fun for younger kids than adults but it was fun nonetheless. After we finished the escape room before the 45 minutes, the staff were very nice to let us explore more of the other VR games they had. I would recommend the walk the plank!

    Great birthday party option
    We took a group of 8-9 year olds there and they had a blast (kids were on the very mature side). The hint-master gave us enough clues that they were able to solve the riddles with just enough time. It's a bit intense for the kids (time pressure, train shakes, lights flash, etc), but almost all of the kids came out of it wanting to go back immediately.

Limited to three goes on the VR activities and only a limited selection to choose from. Three lots of 5 minute activities and not cheap. It would have been much better value if we had been given a certain amount of time like other VR arcades which we have visited. Told to turn up 15 minutes early but doors still locked until almost the time that we were booked in for.

Visited here with 5 others as this was included on the New York City Pass that we purchased. We had 3 experiences for free and then I done an extra one (you can purchase more tickets).
The experiences I done were: balancing beam, rollercoaster, dinosaurs chasing me and white water rafting. There was a lot of options.
It was so much fun, I would definitely recommend people visiting here if it’s included on their pass.

Everything that we wanted to do or go see was closed or not accepting anymore people. However, this place was open and we were able to have a good time. Some of the activities they had felt so real , it was a lil scary! Lol

The instructions were poorly communicated by staff . The staff did not seem experience or knowledgeable .We played the Goblins Quest and our weapons were not charged properly so the battery kept on running out hence we could not shoot . It is the responsibility of staff to charge up the gear. Very stressful when you spend $600 on a 45 min game. When we reached out to the staff telling them to help us as the equipment was not working ,they ignored us wasting more of our time. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY !!!
They should have allowed a replay for free. No customer service here .

Just a few words to thank Escape Virtuality's staff for the help and patience during the amazing experience we had at Escape virtuality.
My colleagues and my VP were very happy about the Team Building activity at Escape Virtuality. We'll recommend it to the other departments of the company!!!

We visited as a party of 6 and had a fantastic afternoon, I honestly can't believe some of the reviews people have left, its such a great fun alternative activity . We found the staff extremely informative about what to expect and how the activity was going to work. As a group we had such a great time we laughed sooo much at one another using the VR equipment. Best part was " walking the plank " I won't spoil for anyone but its brilliant. Go and enjoy , step out of reality and into a world of virtual fun, we all laughed till we cried it was soo good.

Visited with my 18 year old son

We had a sightseeing pass and contacted the venue in advance to book

We have done 2 escape rooms previously but never a VR one and wow this didn’t disappoint.

We had such a giggle but didn’t communicate well so we did not escape the room in time.

We never bumped into each other and in a room full of masks to choose we both chose the same one.

Highly recommended if you want a new experience and fun.

Lots of time wasted in beginning a game wasn’t loaded into headset. Otherwise ok. Staff was helpful. Hours described for NYE were inconsistent on various websites so made a trip that day for nothing. Wouldn’t have done it but was included in Sightseeing NY Pass.
