Went twice to this location, with other 5 friends. First time we solved one of the room in 15 min. Second time, different room, took us almost an hour because some of the mechanisms got stucked and didn't released the clues so we lost almost 20 minutes unnecessarily. That was really annoying!

Gotham Escape Room was a lot of fun! I had a group of 4 and we did two rooms and were able to escape both of them. Our guide Josh was incredible and did a great job leading while not offering too many hints. I highly recommend going here!

This review is for the Chamber of Horror. Me and husband are visiting Philadelphia from Los Angelas. It's snowing and freezing, so we decided to do escape rooms to spend the night. Both of us have done 154 rooms. It's a Monday, so most of the escape rooms on my to-do list are closed. I decided to give this place a try. I was debating to do the Sleep Spirit or the Chamber of Horror. Ended up I chose the Chamber of Horror because it says the scariest room in Philadelphia, and I am a big horror fan. It's a bit spooky but not even close to scary. How to find the location was a bit

Had an awesome time here with friends in the Dr. Frankenstein room! Jack explained the rules and introduction very clearly and made sure to give us hints in a timely manner whenever we asked for them. The puzzles are thought provoking but not TOO difficult that we were stuck at every turn. Would highly recommend Gotham escape rooms and looking forward to coming back!
