The best Brooklyn escape room experience

About the escape room game

This escape room adventure around Prospect Heights in Brooklyn takes the best parts of an escape room and the best parts of a scavenger hunt and merges them into the most fun thing to do in Brooklyn. You get to search for clues hidden in the real world and then use them to solve escape room puzzles. When you solve for a code, the app will tell you where to go look for your next clue! Instead of trying to escape the room, this Escapely adventure takes you around Brooklyn to track down ghosts and reunite two star-crossed lovers!

This real world escape room is the most unique escape room in Brooklyn or even all of NYC (tied with our Central Park adventure). It takes you on a clue-solving adventure to find clues, solve puzzles, and follow an immersive storyline. If you want to keep the experience a surprise, don't read this next bit - it contains some spoilers about where you'll go on our Brooklyn escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way.

Escapely's Brooklyn escape room starts off at Grand Army Plaza to visit the iconic Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch. It's called NYC's Arc de Triomphe and we highly recommend taking a picture! You'll find clues on several of the monuments and statues in the plaza. Next, you'll head to the Brooklyn Museum. You won't have time to do it justice while you're playing the escape room, but the Brooklyn Museum's art collection is impressive and worth returning for.

The next part of our Brooklyn outdoor escape room will take you to Central Library, Brooklyn's public library. In addition to being an NYC landmark, it's a sight to behold with a stunning entrance. Then on to Dr. Ronald McNair Park, an homage to the esteemed black physicist and astronaut who tragically perished in the Challenger disaster. Learn a little more about his legacy while combing the area for clues. To celebrate your escape, we suggest heading to Franklin Park, but you can visit any of the numerous food and drink options in Prospect Heights!

Your Escape The City game will arrive in the mail to the address provided at checkout. We have a small number of Brooklyn escape games available for same-day pick up for tourists and last-minute players. Call 702-747-3009 or email escapethecity@escapely.com for availability.
Yes, but it is not generally recommended unless you are a serious escape room enthusiast. It would be like playing an escape room that has the same storyline and similar puzzles, but with different clues available. Because the clues are integrated throughout Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, the clues themselves are different from all other Relic games. But the puzzles will feel very familiar.
Prospect Heights is known for its museums, libraries, boutiques, and is even home to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. The Brooklyn Nets also play in Prospect Heights! Like most of New York City, it's very walkable and an enjoyable place to spend an outdoor afternoon. It's one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Brooklyn because of its tree-lined streets along the brownstones. The cultural and historical landmarks are perfect for escape room clues, and Brooklyn's craft bars and eateries are perfect for celebrating your escape at the end of the game!
It's both! In a traditional escape room you must solve puzzles that lead from one to the next to escape the room (or a series of rooms). In Escape the City you must solve puzzles that lead from one to the next, with clues in the real world. It's one of the best things to do in Brooklyn!
Like most of New York City, Brooklyn is extremely accessible by public transportation. If you drive, park near Grand Army Plaza. Or, if you plan to enjoy the nightlife scene in Prospect Heights after the escape room (most notably on Vanderbilt Avenue), take a ride share.
There are no indoor clues in our Brooklyn escape room game. Everything is publicly accessible.
It's a self-guided adventure around Prospect Heights for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in Brooklyn!
