How is Smart Escape different from all other escape rooms?
The team behind Smart Escape were once escape room enthusiasts, who have escaped from rooms on three continents. We design escape rooms on our own – all rooms have unique storylines and movie-like props. High tech puzzles and state of the art decorations will make you feel like you’re living a video game. Full immersion into the game is inevitable. It took us a while to create Smart Escape because of all the above-mentioned, yet we believe that we have created one of the most technologically advanced immersive escape rooms in the East Coast of the U.S.
