5 Wits West Nyack

Great experience not too hard we were two people we made 90 score a lot of fun

I had so much fun with my family. We choose the Dragon Quest out of the three choices. On the way to the room we were met by the host who greeted us with the quest story. It was a fun and magical adventure from there on. We had to figure out how to get out of a dungeon room, do some puzzles with objects while working as a team, and then crawl threw a tunnel in the wall, afterwards we had to figure out some more puzzles together. It was so much fun!!! We can't wait to go again!

I have been here before with the whole family and had a blast. My husband and I went for a date night and I felt we were rushed out. We did Dragos Castle, we got through the first door and began trying to figure out the pieces to the puzzle in that room. We heard the next group start shortly after we got into that room. We didn’t even get to finish our puzzles and were rushed out ( supposedly by the game ) because the people that started after us were done and waiting to enter the room we were in. It ruined the whole thing for me and I felt like we wasted our money. Our time to start was 8:55 when we got through the initial door it was 9:04 and we were done by 9:27. I feel like we wasted our time and money and will not be going back.

Me and my sister had a blast in the tomb. Glad we made it out and I can finally get my pension and retire! Our guide was great as well! Super friendly along with all the staff!

Great adventure. 4 stars because we wanted it to be longer! John did a great job helping us out on our first adventure!

Amazing experience visiting 5Wits today. Started off with Bubba walking us to the temple then to the Dark Castle. Very creative family experience. You have to work together to accomplish the goal and exit in one piece. We did! Back to Bubba though….He was humorous and informative. Would do this again. Deep Space is next!

The workers did a great job with their acting. I definitely recommend this place for children to have a great time and also use their minds to solve the different scenarios given. Educational and fun I must say.

First of all, super impressed with the set design and production value. It's really engaging, but not exactly an escape room - more of a live action story book adventure. They did an amazing job integrating tech without being gimmicky. I found myself in awe in several moments, and the staff did a great job helping bring the story to life. Two criticisms:

1) I personally found that the guide/game gave clues way too quickly. We didn't have a chance to solve the puzzle and put the clues together before they would spell out exactly what we had to do. Maybe children would rather have instant gratification and focus on solving puzzles quickly, but I find this less fulfilling than figuring it out on my own, especially since the puzzle weren't particularly challenging. Perhaps the owner can consider an easy/hard mode with more or less clues depending on the group? That way it can flex to be more appealing for older and experienced groups.

2) These experiences are already very condensed, so it would be great if the staff can ensure that the rooms are reset properly and that the tech is working. We found a couple of rooms in the castle and deep space particularly frustrating because sensors weren't working properly. Kind of spoiled an otherwise great experience.
