Room Escape Artist

Latest update: November 2022

We know that a lot of folks are looking for the “best” escape rooms to play. While best is relative, we also realize people want firm recommendations.

Here are our recommendations for games in the Buffalo, NY, and the Niagara Falls region. Since we like nuance, they are broken out into categories.

Editor’s Note: You’ll notice we don’t have reviews for all of these games. We can assure you that a member of the Room Escape Artist team has played these games and would recommend them. We hope to return to the area and add more reviews from this growing escape room market.

Tips for Visiting

Passport

If you’re planning to cross the border between the United States and Canada, you need a valid passport.

Buffalo wings

… they are legitimately better in Buffalo than they are throughout the rest of the country. Hit up Anchor Bar, BarBill, or Duffs.
