Players at The Other Tales Escape Rooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for something that works the brain rather than the body, escape rooms might be the perfect option when you\u2019re looking for things to do with friends. At their core the escape rooms are about solving puzzles together. It\u2019s a great interactive experience where no outside knowledge is needed to succeed. Escape rooms often have unique themes, puzzles and some have stories. A team enters a game and can interact with everything inside, while looking for clues and solving puzzles. Some escape rooms have the main goal of escaping, while more and more games have other goals for the games, such as finding some mysterious object, or even saving the world. No escape room is just like another so you are guaranteed a new experience every single time you do one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our escape room center<\/a> is in Hawthorne, NJ. We do all game design and production in house, so our experiences are truly unique and original.
