Challenge Escape Rooms

We double dated here with friends of ours and the 4 of us LOVED it! So much so that we actually were thinking of doing the other room the same night. We did the virus room and escaped in 38 minutes. We were told it was the 2^nd fastest time ever and with that we used 1 clues and the other group had used all 3.
By far one of the better date nights we have ever had. So much fun. We did the Virus Room which is their standard. However, it’s phasing out. They have a rotating room so you have options.
We were lucky to have just us 4 in the room. Honestly, I am unsure how we’d like having strangers there. And they say the rooms can accommodate 8 – 10 people. I think that’s too many unless you’re friends. It would probably get annoying in a small space running around with people you don’t know.

This was A LOT of FUN. We did The Virus. We were working with another couple whom we had never met and the room quickly became filled with jokes. Next time, bringing my own group and making it a party. It was also a harder than expected, we didn’t make it out in the allotted time. 40% success rate so we’re not alone. Definitely gonna try another room, I think I’m hooked

Really great room! Did the santa’s workshop, was alot of fun, easy to moderate difficulty puzzels. Did it with another family which got annoying because they had young kids so my recommendation get enough people to go with so you can have the room to yourself.
Crew and staff were super nice. Very helpful with hints and make the place look good. Not the most parking its on a busy street, but its there if you look try to get there a bit early.

This was a very fun experience. My group of six people did The Virus but didn’t make it through because we got stuck on the second to last clue. When you look back at everything you wonder why you didn’t figure out the answers faster. But the pressure of time going so fast just freezes your brain. You get three clues and they were nice to give us an extra since they seen us struggling a bit towards the end.
The owners were very nice. Clear instructions. Will definitely be going back for the Christmas themed room. Since this experience I have been suggesting it to a lot of people. Teamwork is definitely needed!

The staffs here are super nice and willing to compromise with my time since all my friends are busy that day.

The virus was an awesome challenge! I went with my fiancé and another couple. We got to the challenge early and were able to sit and relax while we waited. There is an area set up with couches and puzzles. We had so much fun and were able to escape with about a minute to spare! I hope they create more rooms because we will definitely come back!

AN AWESOME TIME! lots of fun and friendly staff.

The Challenge Escape Rooms has 2 rooms, The Virus and a special room, which appears to vary by season. Currently the special room is «Halloween Edition: Killer Countdown». And then they’ll have a Christmas themed room soon.
My wife, friends, family, and I came here and we had a group of 6 people for The Virus which could accommodate up to 12 people in the room. It really doesn’t matter if you have a party of 2 or a party of 12 people. What really matters the most is how well everybody works together. My group of 6 people was able to escape with 23 minutes and 4 second remaining. According to the staff there, we are 2^nd place in terms of time. First place goes to a team of 10 people that had 25 minutes remaining.
Although we escaped with 23+ minutes to spare, escaping The Virus room was not easy and took a lot of team work.
Even if you’re not able to escape the room, I would still highly recommend this place. This is a great place for teamwork building.

We bought tickets off of groupon and decided to try this out. If you can definitely do this with a group of your friends so it’s easier to «yell» or joke around with them.
Every few months they change the theme. We did the virus theme. Boy were the clues hard… note to self don’t let your teammates get buzzed before the activity. I’ll blame the drinks as to why we didn’t win. We were told that only 40% of the people escape. There was no way I was going to escape. Lol. But my husband who thought the whole thing was stupid ended up getting into it. I would do this again#

Came here on a Sunday evening and used a Groupon. Please note after purchasing the groupon, you must go on their website and make a reservation. The place is located on the third floor and once you walk you are greeted and asked your name. You’re immediately told to have a seat in a nice and clean waiting area. The escape rooms was a cool set up which I will not give away. Just think outside the box!!! We went into the room in a group of 9 and we were able to get out on time. Teamwork makes the dream work! I had so much fun! Can’t wait to try their Halloween themed room!

I’ve always wanted to try one of these «escape the rooms» and now that they opened one up in bayside I figured why not! I went with a group of 5 and we had escape with literally minutes left on the clock. I have to say though we were morons and wasted about 15 minutes because we had put in the right number combination but did not open the locked box properly. Overall it was a loads of fun and I would definitely recommend it because it provides a great experience for beginners. The people running the place were friendly and made for a great experience as well. Since I haven’t experience tried any other of these rooms I’m not sure if they’re all the same. However, I felt the process to escape was a bit linear.

I’m so grateful that they have an Escape the Room in Bayside, Queens. I’ve never done this before and always wanted to do it. I took advantage of a groupon for 4 with an additional 20% off I found online. We opted for the 9:30pm Saturday night slot for the Virus Room. Because it was a raining night and it was relatively late, we were not paired off with anyone else besides us 4. I thought we had a great mix of intelligence (both technically savvy/​creative individuals) in the group being that we were an engineer, accountant/​nurse, broadway musical performer, and a teacher. But I have to admit, I was frustrated and sweating in that room for the full hour. I also went full blown paranoid, flipping everything around and trying to make sense of all the clues. It was not easy and I don’t think we unlocked the first clue until after 20 minutes into the game. For this room, you really just have to think outside of the box, use any resources you have on yourself, and work as a team.
Halfway through the game, I honestly did not think we had enough time to escape the room. Luckily, we actually did escape the room with 5 minutes left to spare. It felt so good to get out of that room and we all hugged each other in the end. I would love to come back again and try their Unsolved Case room. Oh and they have a Halloween Special Edition room coming up soon! Please show your support to Queens businesses and come to the Bayside location! Come with an open mind and you will not regret it!

I went with a group of 7 last night & it was super fun !!! This is an activity is recommend to go as in a group. We picked the virus room & it was really challenging we didn’t make it lol. It was the first time for ALL of us so we were so lost LMAO! We were able to figure out some things but you really need to think outside the box for these challenges! I’d def come back now that we all got the experience hopefully we’ll make it next time. The staff is very kind & are able to help you with clues!

Went with a group to celebrate my birthday, and it was something fun and different to do. They were super nice and worked with us since some people in our group were running late. We did not make it out of the «virus» room, but there was a lot of time spent on a box that we had the code for… and turns out the box was broken and didn’t open so we got the code slipped under the door… and color that faded in one of the vials that we needed for a clue. We asked them to help us find the difference in color, and they could barley do it. I think if our time wasn’t wasted on room errors, then we would have had a better chance to complete the room. Will be going to try again though to do the other room. Hopefully in the future they check all portions of the room beforehand to make sure everything is working as it should. A fun experience, super nice staff, and will be back again!

This being my first expierence of an escape room it was a little tricky, that being said it was an amazing expierence and I will definitely come back

Ill keep it simple. Ive done other escape rooms. The challenge escape room is very fun and well thought out. I liked all the clues and even the more difficult ones made plenty of sense once you had a chance to think them over (after a teammate saved the day). Its alot of fun and theres plenty of place to hang out before and after right outside. This is a cant miss for a fun day /​night. 5 stars.

I went last week and had so much fun! I am glad that I had my teammates with me, or else I probably would’ve had no shot. It is clear a lot of thought and effort has gone into the challenge, which I appreciate. I can’t wait to go back and check out the «virus» room! Thank you!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! I went with a group of my friends to do the Unsolved Case room and had the best time ever. It was really hard and took us 45 minutes to get out, but we did it! This was my first ever escape room and I can’t wait to go back and try out the Virus Room.

What a GREAT way to enjoy father’s day with the family. We weren’t sure who would be joining us. .. It ended up to be this great guy. He has done escape rooms before. Thank goodness. We wouldn’t have be able to do it without him. We made it out of the virus room with 3 minutes left! It was so much fun. With each clue we worked harder as a team to get the next one.
I am excited this is located close to me. We are definitely going to check out their other room in July.

It was so much fun! We did it! We were the first ones in Bayside! =)
We didn’t think that we were going to make it but we did with 4 minutes to spare! I would highly recommend it for a group of friends. My adrenaline is pumping and now we’re grabbing a beer on Bell Blvd!
Thank you for such a fun experience! Friendly staff!
