Riddle Me This Escape Rooms — Attraction in Tuckahoe

So I really enjoyed dr ensaine but I didn’t like Swan song or family secrets. But this is partly my fault for trying with only two people. I would give it 3 stars due to my personal experience but I’ve reconsidered as I acknowledge that my experience was a result of being with only two people. During family secrets we were handcuffed far away from each other and had to use our mouth to get something undone due to how we we handcuffed. Which was gross. I went to two of the rooms with just me and my girlfriend as mentioned before which truly affected the experience as I was unaware that the rooms are designed to be solvable as a couple. I don’t suggest doing it with only two people. I specifically asked if Swan song was a good room for two people and was told that it was fine for two and was very possible to escape. After we finished and were frustrated with the room the guy told us that the designed this room more for team building due to its divide and conquer style which makes it hard with only two people. This lack of transparency is why I wanted to give less stars but I reconsidered as I truly believe they have something good going for them. Good stories and unique rooms. Dr. Ensaine is something I haven’t seen before and so is the musician theme room called Swan song. The kidnapped them family secrets had a vibe and feel of other kidnapped rooms but I think it was done better than last second escape and breakout’s rooms which also had a kidnapped theme or story line. The set and over all design was better and worked well with the story and looked very well put together. My only true advise for them is to make sure the amount of people advertised for the room actually works and be honest with people asking if the room is a good room for two people. Family secrets and Swan song aren’t good for two people and is likely to leave you frustrated if it’s just u and one other person. Like I left really upset because it was super challenging in a group of only two as you need multiple eyes everywhere to stand a chance. But in other reviews I have criticized them for not having enough to do in a room. In a big group this room would be great and so would Swan song. I am a musician and when he ran through the rest of the clues we didn’t finish I was amazed at the thought and detail. But I will say Swan song would be hard for a group with no musical background and I believe rooms shouldn’t require special knowledge to complete and even as a musician one musical clue was a bit challenging for me. Had I known the room was designed more for bigger groups I would have waited until other people were signed up. But I have to say I think I would have loved it if we had more people and could have got more done. They are challenging rooms which I super appreciate. You spend a good amount of money doing these and frustrated isn’t how I want to feel so my advise to anyone trying any escape room is to make sure if you go with only two people to verify that it’s a good room to try with two people. So I want to highlight the positives of this place. They do have good set designs and puzzles. The rooms flow and the set matches the story line well. This is not my number one favorite place but it does have one of my all time favorite rooms and Dr. Ensaine is the reason I fell in love with escape rooms. Just remember when booking or planning to go that it’s not a good place to go as a couple you need a bigger group so if you go please have friends go or book a room that has others signed up. Dr. Ensaine is still one of my favorite escape rooms I have ever done and probably will always be a favorite. I definitely will be back and try their new location cause they have solid rooms. I just don’t want to go back as a couple so it could take time as I don’t actually have a lot of family or friends who truly love escape rooms like me and my fiancé. I will make sure to have a group of four or more when I can get people together even if it means waiting cause I do believe this place is great at...

I always enjoy my time whenever I go to Riddle Me This. We were able to get a 8pm room after going to Breakout Escape Room from a terrible experience. Our game host was Ace for Rockstar and she was so helpful with the nudges she gave us and we were able to finish on time! Definitely coming back here to check out their new room in a few months

Update: my friend and I did our last room here, we’ve done every single room and always enjoy our time here. Our last room was bank heist, probably my least favorite room out of all the rooms but our game host Tyrell was so helpful and engaged in the game. The clues were too obvious that we kept overthinking it and losing time but it was fun seeing how it all played out. Rating the rooms from favorite to least favorite: Asylum, Rockstar, Dr. Ensaine, Family Secrets, Bank Heist. I’m so excited for Spaceship to be finished so I can see more thought provoking challenges to the...

We did the Bank Heist Escape room and it was a lot of fun! I will say there was some things that we were a little disappointed on but I know they recently just moved to their location and I’m sure they are still working out the kinks…….. some of the puzzles didn’t register that we completed them and were doing them correctly (making us lose time and convince our game master to let us move on), some of the puzzles were already opened and “solved” when we found them (making us backtrack and lose time on solving a puzzle that was already done), and some of the pieces we needed to use to solve puzzles were Brocken (annoying in general). All 5 of us had a great time though, we appreciated the kindness of the staff and how reasonable the prices are compared to other places (while still having decent quality rooms), and we completed the escape room with 25 seconds left!
