Unvaccinated adults or those without proper documentation will not be able to participate. All of our escape room games last for one hour. Currently all bookings are private, meaning you will not be sharing your game with strangers.
VIRTUAL ESCAPE ROOM GAMES
Our Virtual escape rooms are fun, interactive online puzzle games designed for cooperative team play. Each of these games feature their own storyline, puzzles and visual theme that combine to create a unique challenge. Fend off an alien invasion in Mothership Over Manhattan, take part in ancient magic traditions in Wizard Hunt or solve a murder in 1940s Hollywood with Scarab’s Curse. Our virtual rooms are playable instantly upon booking, and can be freely stopped/resumed at your leisure. There is no time limit, so take as long as you need to finish your escape. Each game is designed to be played by teams of up to six players. You can all play together at one computer, or separately over Zoom or any other online networking tool. If you have any questions about our virtual escape rooms, feel free to give us a call or reach out to us via the livechat down in the bottom right corner of this page.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CLUE CHASE
Clue Chase was founded in 2015 with one goal in mind – make amazing puzzle games. In 2015 escape rooms were just beginning to open in New York City, and everyone had different ideas about what that experience could or should be. We wanted to be the best NYC escape room, and to provide unique and exciting adventures where players can solve puzzles, find clues, and search for alien artifacts across time and space.
We poured ourselves into creating something that went beyond just escaping a vaguely themed room. We wanted to create something that could immerse players in a cohesive narrative across several separate rooms/game sessions. If you’re looking for the quintessential NYC escape room experience, we can provide.
Our game masters believe that the ideal escape game experience should begin as soon you walk into our front door. You shouldn’t have to wait until you’re playing for the fun to start. In order to provide this experience we have created the universe of Clue Chase Labs. Clue Chase labs is an underground Time Travel facility trying to track down an incredibly powerful alien artifact, that they can then use for… entirely noble purposes.
All our games are contained within this context, and feature Easter eggs referencing the other games for repeat players to discover. Furthermore, Clue Chase is constantly updating our escape rooms. We do this because our goal is to create the best experience possible.
What made a top rated NYC escape room in 2015 is a very different from the expectations of players in 2021. As more people play escape rooms, it becomes harder to impress players who think they have seen it all – particularly with escape rooms in Manhattan, expectations are high.
This is always our goal – to entertain you, confuse you, and to (hopefully) make you feel just a bit like an actual genius. We hope you’ll enjoy what we’ve crafted for you, as thousands of players have before. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go solve some puzzles!
