Insider tips
- Book a private room if you want to avoid playing with strangers
- Keep your group size to around 4 players for the optimal experience; 8 players may feel too crowded
- Try the 'Playground' room if playing with children, as it is highly recommended for families
- Don't be afraid to ask for hints; the game guides are excellent at keeping the game fun and moving forward
Good to know before you go
- Booking public slots if you prefer an intimate, family-only experience
- Bringing maximum capacity groups (like 8 people) into a single room
- Attempting 'Prison Break' or 'Playground' with only 2 players unless you want a very high difficulty level
- Public bookings can pair you with strangers, which may impact the group dynamic
- Rooms can feel overcrowded with maximum capacity (e.g., 8 players)
- Crowds
- Rooms can feel crowded with 8 people; 4 players is described as the perfect group size
- Value
- Priced at approximately $100 per game experience for a couple (or $300 for 3 games), which customers felt was fully justified by the high-quality rooms and addictive gameplay.
What parents say
"We have done escape rooms all over the world. Most of them are good if you want the best you have to go to the escape room of New Orleans. They did a fantastic job. The crew is awesome! From the time they took our reservation on the phone all the way through until the 8 seconds that we completed the mission. Everyone was awesome. Anthony and Ben took excellent care of us on my son's birthday. I would highly recommend"

"Loved it! First time at this location, not the first time at this chain. Place is clean and the staff is nice. If you like escape rooms, then these are a good for all people. Not too big but not too small. Generally perfect for a group of 4, 8 would be top crowded. And they do allow pictures inside and during the game!"

"Do not leave New Orleans without scheduling atleast one of these escape rooms. My fiancé & I completed 3 in one weekend and they were absolutely amazing. We are Escape Room gurus, and these rooms are complex, well thought out & MULTI ROOM. (I can’t remember the first rooms name. It was fun, but wasn’t our vibe since it was booked with other people.) Playground - This game was everything! It brought out our inner child & challenged our elementary education 🤣 We completed this room privately & I will say that it’s more difficult with 2 people, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything."
