Escape Rooms New York

Escape Room Time - North Jersey

It is escape room time. The event comes to you courtesy of our WhatsApp group chat. Join us at 7:30 p.m. on July 31 at Amazing Escape Room, 281 Liberty St. in Bloomfield. This event will require a little planning and coordination. The cost per person will be based on the number of people. A 10% discount is available for groups of 10 or more. Technically, a room can only accommodate up to 10, 11 or 12 people. If there's significant interest, we can talk about getting two rooms. With that in mind, the cost per person will be between $25 and $35. No food or drinks are allowed on site. There is street parking. Once I finalize a list, I'll let everyone know what they owe in advance of July 31. Please comment below or reach out to me directly (201-234-9609) if you're still interested in attending. https://amazingescaperoom.com/all-rooms/ \*\*\* There is a good chance we'll hang out some more at a diner or bar afterward. Feel free to make suggestions!! \*\*\* Questions or comments? You can message Andy on Meetup, or call/text him at 201-234-9609. This is our first escape room trip. Feel free to also check out bowling, soccer, volleyball, tennis or one of our other activities at: www.meetup.com/north-jersey-bowling-soccer-volleyball.

The Green Room - Actor Meet-up

So You Wanna Be an Actor? Hi friendssss! I’ve found that it can be surprisingly hard to make time to see fellow actors, writers, models, and other creative people outside of class, rehearsals, and work. So I wanted to create a casual weekly space where we can connect, meet new people, share what we’re working on, and build community. As we grow, the location may change if I find a spot that’s an even better fit for the group. The vibe is less of a formal networking event and more of a relaxed creative meetup where people can talk about acting, auditions, projects, industry experiences, goals, or whatever else is on their minds. A few notes: * No drinking is necessary—totally up to you. * The bar also has food, soda, and other non-alcoholic options available. * Feel free to invite actor friends and other creatives who would enjoy the community. * Come as you are—whether you’re just starting out or have been in the industry for years. Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing where this community grows! — Sierra

Killer Queen freeplay night at Barcade

Killer Queen is a cult classic team-based arcade strategy game. It's super easy to learn yet infinitely replayable, and it's also a great way to meet new people. The game will be on freeplay all night. All skill levels are welcome. There's always a handful of experienced players willing to teach the game to newbies. We'll informally make pickup teams throughout the night. Come play a super fun game with an incredible community. 21+ because it's a bar.

Let's Play Word Games in Midtown

We play in an indoor public space, the refurbished food court in the Citicorp building, right next to the Lexington Avenue exit of the Lex/51 stop of the E, M, and 6 trains. There are eateries in the food court or you can bring in your own food. We usually sit somewhere between Pesce Lulu and Miznon. Let's play word building games like Quiddler, word cluing games like Phantom Ink, and word listing games like Scattergories. Maybe even a brainy co-op game of Letter Jam.

Clocktower for All, Sundays at the Hugh!

Come join a game or two! All are welcome. We'll usually start off our sessions with some beginner-friendlier games, i.e. Trouble Brewing and the other base scripts, so showing up on time is a good idea if you're new. Later on we might run more complex custom scripts. You don't need to bring anything other than your beautiful self and your phone, in order to access the script we're playing. Due to space constraints, please mark if you're planning on coming, and it's also a good idea to join the Discord server at the link below and respond to the event there as well. It's very helpful for us to know exactly how many people I should be expecting. https://discord.gg/fPjBUBaxHu
