What is Puzzle Break Long Island?
Puzzle Break Long Island is an interactive, real-life escape the room game designed to be fun and challenging while testing you and your team’s mental prowess. Join in with your family, friends, co-workers, etc. as you attempt to solve puzzles, find the key, and escape the room, all within 60 minutes time. Teamwork and logic are essential in order to solve the challenging clues and puzzles during the game in order to proudly claim “I’ve Escaped!” prior to the clock striking zero.
The Puzzle Break games are so innovative and fun that our games are exclusively found on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships.
What if our team is experiencing problems solving some of the clues and puzzles?
Not to worry, if your team is having trouble during a game, several hints will be provided by our in-game operators to move the game along (should your team wish to accept them). But make sure you use them properly as only a limited amount of hints are offered. And if you ultimately can’t escape the room in time, we will still let you out!
How much does it cost to play?
Tickets for our regularly scheduled events are $38.00 per player and they must be purchased in advance HERE.
Is it scary or dangerous?
Not at all! Our games require participants to have the mental strength to escape, combining logic and teamwork. Physical strength and stamina are not required to escape the room. There is no heavy lifting, climbing, or force required to play any of our games.
How many people do I need to play?
We require 3 players as a minimum to book and recommend 6-12 players!
I only want to play with my friends / my group, what do I do?
No problem, all of our games are private!
Our group is larger than the capacity for each game, how can you accomodate us?
If your group takes up all the tickets within the room, we can usually allow another 1-2 players. Please contact us prior to your arrival so we can make the necessary arrangements.
How long is the game?
Briefing, Escaping, Walkthrough, and Debriefing will take about 75 minutes. Briefing will begin promptly at your scheduled start time, so please don't be late! If you don’t escape the room in time and wish to try the same room again on another date, let us know and we won’t debrief you.
When should I arrive?
We request that you arrive 10 minutes before your assigned start time.
What if I am running late?
Please remember that all Puzzle Break games are live events, so we ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes before your start time. Arrivals that are over 10 minutes late will NOT be allowed to participate. If your entire group is more than 10 minutes late, the 60-minute timer will be started. There will be no refunds or exchanges for participants or groups who arrive past our lateness policy.

What's the age requirement?
There is no set age requirement at Puzzle Break Long Island, although we do recommend that 8 years old be the minimum age for players. We frequently host birthday parties, camp/school gatherings, and other private events for players age 8 and above. Our team is able to successfully manage the experience to ensure even our youngest participants are able to solve the puzzles and enjoy. As exceptions can always be made, please feel free to contact us for further details regarding whether Puzzle Break Long Island is age appropriate for your group.
Help! Something came up and I can no longer make it. What can I do?
We cannot offer refunds or exchanges, but your ticket isn't tied to you. You are welcome to give or sell your ticket to someone else and they will be able to take over your spot.

STRATEGY
1. Communication is KEY! The smartest teams routinely fail when they do not talk to each other. The most puzzle-challenged teams often succeed if they possess superior communication skills. A certain path to failure is failing to communicate! Fully or partially solving a puzzle, while another teammate uses their precious time to replicate your work will ultimately lead to your team being unable to escape.
2. Don't be afraid to leave something and come back to it later. There are a wide variety of puzzles in our rooms: some big, some small. While some folks excel at certain types of puzzles, others do not. So, don’t be afraid to move on to the next puzzle if your team is struggling.
3. There are some easy to find clues and there are some hard to find clues, so make sure you search the room thoroughly.
4.Listen to your Game Host! They are in the room to help provide some direction and might just drop a few important hints throughout the experience. The most successful teams make these hints the highest priority - and make sure to share them with their teammates!
