SPYSCAPE & SPYGAMES

I loved this place! It was like an iconic trip down memory lane with all the greatest spies in history right next to me. I got to play a couple of games on my own although I do recommend checking out the Spyscape all games experience which takes 2 or more to book. I spent about $40 on my museum tour which was self guided thanks to the glowing white illuminated arrows on the floor pointing to which direction we should head down. Seriously though it was pretty cool just taking in all the exhibits and learning about how the art of spying came to be. I got a free Spyscape souvenir hand band and pencil along with my $13 purchase of a 90’s retro pocket arcade gameboy which was mighty cool. I would have spent another $15 on a dossier of my own record as I played all the games in the museum experience and the ones on my phone when you scan the barcodes that are selected through out the building had i not already spent so much getting to the place beforehand. There are 9 games mostly personality related but a few chance and trivia related games you have to play to come with your complete profile. Alongside that, there is also the deception, surveillance, special ops, and encryption games you must play in order to come with your role. My role turned out to be hacker for apparently my work on intelligence services to protect the national interest. My 3 key qualities were that I am mathematical, Determined and Inquisitive. You can find all this and a video of each test you had done on the website link they send to your email when you first purchased the tickets online which I highly recommend because you will get a much more discounted rate then buying it last minute in person. The roles you can achieve are as follows: Special ops officer, Hacker, Intelligence operative, Surveillance officer, Spy-catcher, Technical ops officer, Agent handler, Spymaster, Intelligence analyst, and Cryptologist. It all depends on your score and what you had gotten based solely on performance. You only get videos of the laser special ops challenge where you have to press buttons and dodge lasers before a timer runs out, the encryption test which tests your ability on using key ciphers to analyze and create new messages in a given time to save someone from a scenario, the deception test which tests your ability to see if someone is lying based on their features and characteristics in a video and you press green for truth or red for lying and the surveillance video which gives you a 360 degree wall of monitors with live recording camera footage with you on the phone listening to a handler point out some unique signatures and you have to point at which camera is showing so. The artifacts are encased in solid glass so you can only view no touch and the exhibits mainly displayed projection and monitors of famous spies and their stories. The whole tour took about an hr maybe 2 at most and there wasn’t a lot of picturesque places to view but other than that I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is interested.

Went with two teens and another mom. One section was physical and mental challenges. Some didn't work right, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Some physical challenges were a little difficult for the out of shape moms... The other section decided what typed of spy you are by asking you a series of questions and presenting you with challenges. We especially enjoyed the lie detection and surveillance (even though some of that didn't work either). We each ended up being a different type of spy and enjoyed spending time together doing something unique.

I had a great time at Spyscape! It’s a fun, interactive game space in the city where you work together as a team on different challenges across a high-tech, immersive floor. The activities are engaging, the space is well-designed, and it’s a unique way to spend time with friends and family. There was a room, though, that was a bit glitchy and didn't accurately count points (two player hit the target). But it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy team games and something a little different...make sure to wear sneakers!

Was a good experience, staff were very helpful. We did not have tickets booked beforehand but were able to get them for a session for the spy games very easily. Would go back as the tasks were very interactive and fun especially with a team. There are very secure lockers for you to store items that you don’t want to lose while playing.

Had a great time at SPYSCAPE in NYC, and it was easily one of the coolest interactive experiences we’ve ever had. It’s not just a museum where you look at artifacts (though the Enigma machine and the Bond exhibits are awesome); it’s a full-on training ground that tests your brain and your physical skills.

This was a very cool museum you should Definitely visit if your on holiday in NYC its very interactive and a lot of cool things you learn from spy History

Great experience! The SpyGames section is a ton of fun and the SpyScape section (the museum part of the space) is very informative. Aim to budget 50 minutes for each of the two experiences.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We Had an Absolute Blast at SPYSCAPE! We had so much fun at SPYSCAPE! The whole experience was a mix of jumping, teamwork, puzzles, and challenges that kept us laughing and moving the entire time. The layout is amazing — everything flows so well — and the games and trivia were a huge hit. I’m so glad we went early on Sunday because we were able to see and participate in everything without feeling rushed. Now… I didn’t make the cut to be an official spy, but I definitely proved I’d make a great spy handler! LOL. If you’re thinking about going, do it. Be ready to move, work together, and have a great time. Enjoy!

Was great love it best Xmas lights ever I'll recommend to any one who want to take the kids

So much fun! Had this spot bookmarked FOREVER and was so happy to finally visit. Entry was discounted since we bought our tickets in advance on Groupon, and there were a ton of evening slots available. Conveniently located near the subway and a ton of bars and restaurants. Loved the exhibits, the spy questionnaires throughout, and especially the interactive experience towards the end. Would be a cool date night activity if you're looking to do something a little bit different, but would also be a really good team building activity with coworkers.

If you are debating going here - Go! Spyscape is so much fun! We visited this past summer as a family of four (two adults, one teen, and one child). Our only regret is that we didn't know about this place sooner. Since it was our first visit, we opted to do the museum and games. (Each require separate admission.) The museum - Very interactive, engaging, and kept everyone's interest. Make sure to visit each digital station pole so you can participate in an interactive activity. I appreciated that they have varying heights and three sides to each pole so more than one person could do the activity at a time. We were a little competitive with one another but all in good fun. The museum itself was full of interesting facts and artifacts. At the end, we were able to see what kind of spy we were. The ending also led us to the museum store and everyone in our party ending up purchasing a Spyscape t-shirt that has a hidden zipper pocket. Lots of smaller gadgets - we picked up a few. After finishing the museum, we moved o to the spy games. Now this is where the real fun and memories took place. Oh yeah - prepare to sweat - as I mentioned, we are a little competitive, enjoy escape rooms, etc so we were dodging and jumping lasers like our life's depending on it. The best part was that we were spending good quality time together as a family. No one was interested in checking their phones because we were all having too much fun together. Looking back, we have no regrets on either visit. I would recommend going to the museum once. We had a great time! The Spyscape games - it's already on our list of things to do the next time we are in NYC. If we had more time during our last visit, we would have gone again - we had that much fun!

Skyscape in New York is an absolute gem! The views are breathtaking, offering a stunning panorama of the city that's perfect for capturing memorable photos or just taking in NYC from a whole new perspective. The space is thoughtfully designed, balancing modern elegance with a relaxed, open atmosphere that makes you want to stay and savor the experience. What truly makes Skyscape stand out is the staff - they're friendly, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to ensure you have an amazing time. Whether you're looking for the perfect spot to unwind or a unique experience in the city, Skyscape delivers it all with style. This place is a must-visit for locals and tourists alike, offering a fresh and elevated look at New York City!

Walking on our way to Central Park, spyscape was on the way, and we decided to check it out, and boy, are we happy we did! For two adults on a Saturday was $106 a bit steep, but it's the city. What do you really expect! You can put your coat or purse in a locker that only your wristband opens up, which is nice! Start the tour in an over size elevator watching a mini welcome video, as you go around the museum there are different stations you stop at to take a quiz or answer a questionnaire where at the end it's compressed to see what kind of agent you would be! We went on a Saturday end of November at about 10AM, and it was perfect it wasn't busy at all, just perfect Besides the high price, I was for sure recommend.

We booked Spygames tickets for my son's birthday party with his tween friends. We didn't know what to expect other than seeing videos of an interactive room. You get a total of 50 minutes to play games. Spygames is an interactive gaming experience with multiple interactive playing rooms powered by projection, led lights, and sensors each with unique game or games. There are around 10 rooms and each game doesn't last for more than 1-2 minutes. The games vary from laser dodging, throwing balls at targets, logic puzzles, light reflex games, etc. You form groups of 4 people ideally and go from room to room and play each room earning points. After each game, you get to see where your team ranks and how many points you've earned. It's a lot of fun and everyone had a blast. There are free lockers to lock up your items. And they do have water for sale. I would recommend bringing your own filled water bottles to drink in the small reception area. The one hiccup that we experienced was that we booked tickets separately and not as a party. So it took some time to register even though we had waivers filled out beforehand for all the kids. We ended up taking 30 minutes to have to register and fill out new waivers ahead of time. We started our session 30 mins late. But everyone had a blast and enjoyed the games! A great way to entertain kids for a birthday party.

Went here for a bachelor party and this is by far the BEST museum I have ever been to. The first area is essentially a collection of real life mini games where you compete with other teams to get high scores (many of which are very active so try to be in shape before you go!) Which get you cool prizes as you accumulate them, and essentially give you replayability and smartly incentivize you to come back for more. The next area is the actual museum portion and even that had a lot of interactive elements like trying to decipher who was lying, spotting things on a multitude of cameras, and ultimately figuring out your "spy role". Probably the most interactive museum I've ever been to, with so much interesting history wrapped in a fun package that I would go again and again and again if it weren't so far away.

I lived walking distance from this place for over a decade, but didn't check it out until my friend had her birthday here. We absolutely LOVED it, so I went back with my son and different friends several times later! We LOVE all the games (especially the clown one, haha!). Everything is also super clean here (including the bathrooms), which I really appreciated. It's also nice how you can put all your things in the lockers for free, too!

I was initially a bit cautious about taking my 8-year-old here because some reviews suggested it might be too complex or physically demanding for younger children. Thankfully, my concerns were unfounded, and she ended up having an amazing time! The activities were varied and engaging, with plenty of options that kept her entertained. While there was a little confusion with some of the games--like the one where you have to step on green boxes to eliminate the blue ones--we eventually got the hang of it and had a blast. The experience wasn't overly intense for us, as we were dressed casually in jeans and t-shirts, though sneakers were essential. We did get a bit winded, but nothing too overwhelming. For people who are in decent shape, it's more of a fun outing than a rigorous workout. However, if you're the competitive type or take fitness seriously, you could definitely see this as an opportunity for a challenging physical activity. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, full of laughter and bonding time. I would recommend it to families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy a fun, energetic day. It caters to all ages and activity levels, making it a great choice for those who want a mix of entertainment and a bit of exercise.

What a fun experience this was. The eye catching scene as you peek in is what caught my attention. There's a gift shop with books, stickers the list goes on. The interactive rooms we went in is fun for all ages. Watching your ranking go up and down the scoreboard as you finish is such a rush. Wish there was something like this in my city for sure. A keepsake wristband to take home holds points for prizes so hold on to it. There's also a room for parties which sounds like a great place to get everyone moving and using brain muscles. Give this place a try if you tend to see it

As we were looking for something fun to do while in NYC, we happened to find the SPYGAMES Experience (within the SPYSCAPE building) and we're so happy we did because we had a blast. We bought the tickets online and reserved a spot for a Friday afternoon. Once we arrived, they scanned our tickets and we were guided to the 2nd floor which is where the SPYGAMES area is located. Wristbands were given to each of us and we activated the wristbands at the kiosk before playing. Upon entering the gaming area, we were able to stand in the lobby and watch all of the games displayed on the wall being played by others. Each game was inside of a gaming room and was very interactive. We were able to play any of the games that were available or wait outside until others finished the game; each game was timed and lasted less than 2 mins. The games were based on memory, strategy and agility that tested both mental and physical skills and we tried to play as many as we could before our allotted time was up. Unfortunately, waiting for the game rooms to be available became somewhat of a hassle so we didn't get to play them all. SPYSCAPE includes the SPYGAMES and the SPY HQ, which is an area within the museum where you can break codes and solve problems. I would recommend this interactive museum for families, date nights or groups. Other areas of the museum included items for purchase, books for sale and a sitting area. We absolutely loved this experience and had a great time.

Perfect spot for a date night or group outing with friends! We just did the games portion, but still had a blast! Each admission ticket gives you 60 minutes of game play. You can add more minutes at the kiosks, but 60 minutes is plenty to work up a sweat. There's several different rooms with different activities to choose from. All rooms are a mixture of physical + mental games and some rooms have 2 different games you can play. There's a touch screen in front of each room that explains how to play the games. After completing a room once, you can change the level of difficulty. It goes from rookie to pro, so it's fun to master the harder levels. I liked how you get each room to yourself and don't have to play with strangers. Each room can hold up to 5 people and each game is about 1-2 minutes, so you never have to wait long for a game to be available. My favorite game was the throwing game where you throw balls at a target. The targets actually move in the harder levels, so you definitely have to use team work to get a higher score. The cool thing about this place is that you can redeem your points for prizes! You have to be at least a Level 5 to redeem your points - we were a Level 4 when we left, so I think that's how they get you to come back. Prizes are pretty basic (i.e. bottled drinks or hats) but it's fun to try and collect more points. They were in the process of adding another game when we went (climbing), so I hope they continue to add more games in the future.

Tons of fun for about $50 per person. The actual building is enormous with multiple floors, and consisting of the challenge area, museum, two small shops, and a cafe. There are locker areas upstairs and downstairs, and bathrooms are upstairs. In the challenges section, the challenge games consist of intense mental and physical elements of memory, agility, speed, and dexterity. Definitely bring a towel and a water bottle as you'll definitely be sweating (and they charge for water). Also, bring your phone with you, since you'll need to confirm creating a new personal account via email. You'll get a wristband that you'll use to access your locker and personal account throughout the museum and challenges. It's fun as you get team and individual scores, so you can bring a group or play on your own; once you level up, you can move on to more difficult challenges (Rookie, Pro, Elite). Depending on your level achieved, you can get items for your avatar as well as little real-life trinkets. The higher you go, the better prizes you can win. Just be warned the games can be physically and mentally exhausting and there are flashing lights/darkness. The museum is also super fun with lots of exhibits. There are 6 challenges in the museum that test your spy skills, such as surveillance, deception, and spec ops, and personality/IQ tests. Play well and you'll get a score and some main traits that you can use to determine your "spy role". Spyscape was so much fun, and it's great for groups and individuals, and most ages (for older folks, it might be a little strenuous). Overall, I'd definitely go back.

This was a great learning experience and fun experiment! I've always been intrigued by spy movies and real-life stories. Virginia Hall was amazing!! This is a must visit when in NYC!

Signed up to be a beta tester for their Spygames after having visited the Spyscape museum within the same building. The museum was great and was filled with espionage-related historical information and had interactive stations where you can build your own spy profile. Your scores at these interactive stations are tracked through a wristband you receive at the front desk when you sign in. The Spygames area is still in development but you can sign up as beta testers in groups of 2-6. Your entire team go through different zones with different objectives that test your ability to strategize, work together and under pressure, as well as some of your physical abilities. It was a great and fun experience to do. I would suggest signing up for a non prime time slot to avoid crowds.

My teen daughter and I LOVED our experience here! Highly recommend doing both experiences!

I was one of their beta testers for their new spy games! If you have done Beat The Bomb, it's a similar concept to that. There are about 10 rooms that you will go through as a team to beat a timer and gain a certain amount of points. Some of the rooms entail: 1. "Climbing" 2. Throwing balls 3. Jumping on tiles/marks 4. Dodging lasers and hitting a buzzer I came here as a two-player team and saw this via an ad. For $20/person, I highly recommend going here, whether it's a family outing, friends, or a date. I'd say that it took about 1.5 hour to get through everything and a lot of teamwork. What's great about these rooms is that you also don't have to go in order. You can pick and choose. There were a lot of people total, so we had to wait occasionally for our turn. Will definitely visit again to show others! Unless they change the rooms up, I would say this is a once in every few years activity for me.

This museum has so much potential. Unfortunately, due to the inadequate explanation of how the experience was supposed to work, I was confused and disinterested throughout my time in Spyscape. Right off the bat, the employees did not seem to know what was going on. We stood around for about ten minutes, followed by a far too quiet and far too lacking explanation of what we were supposed to do. The museum has these digital stations set up around it and you're supposed to follow arrows on the floor to each one, scan a bracelet for each station? I really wasn't sure and had to guess at what I was doing. Initially, I did not mind, because I loved reading the bits of information on the walls and seeing the pieces of spyware. Lo and behold, the digital stations were really important to the "end goal" of the experience: finding out which type of spy you are. Oh well. All in all, although this museum was touted as a "#1 rated NYC experience" (or something like that), the operation is poorly executed and explained. I definitely had some fun or cool moments, but I'd much rather have spent my lost hour or so walking around the city. Would not recommend and will not return.

Perfect date night and or family activity! My husband and I chose this for a date night activity before dinner. This experience took exactly 2 hours and some minutes to do some merch shopping. It was a very knowledgeable, interactive and interesting experience. If you're into spy related things, this is for you. It covers history and stories of previous spies and their backgrounds. Take your time and make sure you immerse yourself in the experience! In the end you will find out what your special role would be in the spy world. Parking will be a hassle unless you choose to park in a garage close by. However, it is accessible by public transportation and a 10 minute walk from Times Square. You won't regret this!

I didn't go to spyscape the second time. I ended up just going to check out spygames instead. It reminds me of this place with a chain/ franchise called activate. Where you form groups and play these interactive games. Before you go in, you are briefed by the people who work there, and you check in on a tablet. Also, they have individual lockers for you to use if you'd like. There is a restroom right by the lockers, so there is no need to find one elsewhere at spyscape. It is a separate charge, and in order to play the game, you need a bracelet that has a chip inside of it. No phones allowed while you're there. But you won't have time to use your phones so that's fine. I would like to go back with more people as some of these games you can earn more points with a larger team and advance to a better status.

PROS: - great for adults and kids - really good diff levels of interactive aspects throughout - interactive parts are optional and can go at your own pace or stop anytime or don't do at all - self guided tour but they have a suggested order - so many cool things to see - great and captivating facts, artifacts, and articles - there is an AMAZING gift shop (10/10!) CONS: - large groups can be a disorderly and distracting - not always clear direction on where to go - can take 2-3 hrs to do the whole thing TIPS... give yourself extra time to go through this whole experience, it can take a good 2hrs+ if you really want the full experience, and it's worth it! It's fun and the time goes by really fast! * LOTS OF WALKING! WEAR COMFY SHOES!!! * Had a wonderful time here! We picked this place randomly after having ramen on a 16 degree cold Saturday afternoon. We wanted to do something fun, but out of the cold. This place did not disappoint and was amazing!!! We didn't read anything about it so went into it blind really not knowing what it was about or what to expect or how anything worked at all, lol. When you get there you are assigned a bracelet based on what you paid for, we paid for the tour package. So you get assigned a locker where you can put your stuff (locker key is all on your bracelet band). Then you get to watch a lil intro video and wait for your tour guide. At that point you are told what to do and there are a bunch of lil kiosks that you can scan your band into and then they tell you what you should do. You have the option to control what you do in your phone or in the diff rooms you visit. All the rooms are for diff kinds of spy categories and you can go in order or go however you want. There are short games, puzzles, and quizzes throughout the rooms and in your phone, all of which is to help determine what kind of spy you would be and what role you would play. This whole thing seems like a lot but it's not! It is super fun and if you have any interest in this genre or even if you don't YOU WILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!! The only thing that wasn't so great is that they need better arrows/directions on the floors on where to go bc it gets confusing, so maybe adding some words next to arrows on where to go from which room to which would help.

Got there at at 7:30 when our event was supposed to start and they said they changed their hours and they close at 8pm now. We were "supposed" to get an email about the change. No email was sent or received so I asked for a refund which was given. However time and money was wasted ubering there and when we left the building there was a line of people probably trying to get into the event as me. So all these people didn't get an email Either? Get your systems checked and do a better job:

This museum is seriously a pretty rad place if you're into espionage and spy stuff. It's good for big groups where if people want to go to a museum but some people in the group don't like the traditional museums. The exhibits were pretty interactive and hands out. We did activities that test our skills in areas like physical fitness, surveillance, and problem-solving. And the best part? They actually analyze your performance and assign you to a specific spy role, which is pretty cool. It took us about 60-90 minutes to complete the whole museum. Overall, I would recommend SpyScaped to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. The museum does an amazing job of making history come alive and I left feeling entertained, enlightened, and just a little bit like a spy myself! If you're looking for a fun and interactive adventure, SpyScaped is definitely worth checking out. 4/5 stars.

We came as a group of 5 for the beta testing of spy games and had so much fun racing to hit buttons while avoiding lasers, climbing walls, and jumping to targets. Overall I think they are still working out some kinks in the rooms but for $20 pp it was an enjoyable Saturday night activity and the staff there are all really helpful and nice. If you come wear sneakers and light clothing, it can get really warm when you're running around frantically!

This is for Spygames, which is the new "exhibit" they were beta-testing. It's a separate ticket system than the actual museum, which I haven't been to. Tickets were $15, which I found to be a reasonable price for the entertainment out of this. It gives you 45 minutes of experience and you can buy more time to stay longer. I don't think it's worth it for any higher price. It's more of an activity based experience, where there are bunch of different rooms and you "score" points. There are prizes, but they're not worth it - just like online accessories for your avatar profile or 30 mins of extra time / merch if you get a lot of points. I think the concept is cool, but the execution and games could be better. Many rooms would go in and out of service during the time period or just plain broken the whole time. The games: one with buttons on a wall and you press certain colors, one with tiles on the ground and you step on certain colors, one with moving circle lights on the ground that you step one, one that's like the throwing carnival game and you throw balls at targets, one with lasers where you run across the room and avoid, and apparently a rock climbing one that was broken. The time you spend waiting counts against your time, which is frustrating since some games have long lines and you're paying for the actual minutes. The staff were also incredibly rude and not friendly at all. They talked to you like you are a child and have this weird intercom radio system where they hunt you down that seems like overkill.

Better to buy tickets online than in person (it's more expensive if you buy it at the counter). Came here with my brother on a weekday afternoon and it was not too crowded. The ID bands make it easy to keep track of all the questionaires and activites you have to complete in order to determine your spy profile. A large elevator slowly takes you up to the 2nd floor while you watch a video which was interesting. That aspect makes exploring this museum more interactive. My favorite exhibits were the surveillance room, lie detector room and the special ops laser room (which they send you a video of too). Basically all the activities that were "spy" like. It took us about 2 hours to get through the whole museum at a leisurely pace. The exhibits provide a brief background on the history and importance of espionage in determining the outcome of certain historical events. There were also items on display too which added to the "history" aspect of this museum. Don't forget to grab a free pencil or rubber wristband with your role on it as you leave (it's by the checkout counter). The museum is more enjoyable to explore when it's relatively empty. When it gets crowded, you'll be left waiting to access one of those scanning stations in order to complete the rest of your personality profile. There are also free lockers which are locked with your band which I thought was convenient. The lobby also sells a bunch of books related the topic of spies or brain games. They had YA novels, manga, comic books, children's books etc.

Such a fun experience! Definitely come with tennis shoes and energy as each zone has you running around. Staff was also very friendly and the experience wasn't too expensive. We would definitely recommend visiting this experience!

Spygames is such a cool experience! When we got there we had to leave all of our things in a locker and we were given wristbands. Then we checked in and were free to go from room to room doing things like avoiding lasers, throwing things, and jumping. You earn points when you do things correctly for each room and then there's a leaderboard outside. It was honestly one of the most fun things I've done in the city. Definitely recommend wearing something you can move in freely and sneakers!

I came here for the Batman experience with my partner on our anniversary and we had so much fun. I wish it wasn't so pricey but they do have good deals for couples so I can appreciate that. I defiantly want to come back again with my friends.

While this place may seem like a cheap little Museum and Art Exhibit / gimmick I can assure you that it is anything but! Right from the get-go the sheer amount of interesting spy history and information you can see is staggering. Who knew there was so many little things that a spy can utilize to make it as if they're not even watching you. When it comes to this exhibit and Museum there are an insane amount of little Hands-On things that you can do such as testing how you would be when it comes to being a spy as well as trying to get from one end of a room to the other moving around and twisting yourself like a pretzel to avoid little lasers that add time on to your final score when you hit the button on the other wall. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable and answered every question that I had when I was interested to learn more about a certain piece of history or Gadget that I saw! I recommend this place!

My husband and I had a blast at Spyscape! The only bad thing is that I answered my questions before arrival and he did not, so he had to do it there, which meant I was waiting for him! Besides that, we both had a great time! I booked the tickets, not realizing that this was a museum, whereas I thought it was a spy adventure. This was a positive for me because I LOVE museums. This one is an interactive museum. We got to do encryption activities, and CCTV (surveillance), and the best one was the laser room (because I can't remember what they called it). We had to avoid the lasers and push as many buttons as we could, and man that was fun times! I was so out of breath by the time we made it to the end! We discovered what type of spies we were (he was in technical operations, and I was a Spycatcher) Which fit totally in line with our personalities. At the end, we got to pick a bracelet or a pencil that matched our spy types. The cute little gift shop at the end that was sectioned off into your spy type.

It's cute. Fun with a group, easy to navigate, great bookstore and storage lockers. Don't need to go back but enjoyed the time. Staff is friendly and helpful. Surveillance challenge headsets were not all fully functioning but it was a fun game.

My visit to the Spy Museum was an absolute blast! The interactive games were a highlight, especially the one where we got to hit balls against a wall - talk about a great way to release some pent-up energy and have some fun! And then there was the game where we had to run around and step on colors - it was like a workout for both body and mind! Once you're done with the interactive games, you go into a spy mode. One of my favorites was encrypting messages as a spy & doing different activities that a spy would. I don't want to give it all away but when you go in, BE PRESENT & let your inner child play!! What I loved most about the museum was how it engaged all aspects of our being - mind, body, and soul. It was thrilling to be constantly on the move, deciphering clues, and completing challenges. It definitely kept everyone on their toes in the best way possible. Overall, the Spy Museum provided a truly unforgettable experience that combined excitement, physical activity, and mental stimulation. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a day filled with adventure and fun! I would come back with a date or girls day/early night activity! Super fun!! FYI: Also as a bonus, at the end of the spy experience, there's an evaluation as to what type of spy you would make based on these activities you do throughout your time there. It's pretty cool, you'll see!

We had a great time doing recconasence, solving puzzles and avoiding lazers. If you want to have a couple if hours of fun, give this attraction a try. Look for discount offers and have fun.

I came here in 2021 when they were doing a great job of keeping everything COVID safe as a way to entertain my then 10 year old nephew. It was so much fun and my whole family had a great time. I imagine it's more crowded now, but still a super cool experience you can have that is a little off the beaten path while still being in the middle of it all in NYC.

Personally a fan of this interactive museam! If you're a fan of spy movies or simply put, James Bond 007... then this is the place for you! Great for dates, group visits! It is one of the more interactive museums NYC has to offer!

I took my aunt and her friends here for their weekend in the big apple and we had so much fun !! The staff made this experience memorable

Came to spyscape years ago though at the time it wasn't as interactive. That one had a lot of items and reading; more of a museum-like which got tiring and overwhelming. Now there are 8 interactive activities including brain questions, challenges, and personality questions plus 2 tests and sufficient reading that is enough information. It took us about 2 hours from start to finish. If you purchase your ticket online, you save a few dollars than as a walk-in buyer. After you check-in, you receive a band that will store /retrieve your profile. You follow the blue light line on the floor and go on your adventure. At the end your profile reveals what kind of spy career you might have. Have fun.

Spyscape is an engaging and immersive experience for all ages! A must-visit museum that takes you deep into the into the world of espionage! Their vast collection of espionage artifacts, stories, secrets, deceptions and interactive exhibits will make you feel as though you just stepped into the shoes of a spy in training. Whether you're a history buff, spy enthusiasts, or just curious about the world of secret agents this museum will intrigue and captivate you!

Took my boyfriend here and really loved how interactive the experience is here. You have quizzes you respond to throughout the museum and you find out at the end what job you'd have in the spy game. You can answer the questions online for your spy profile but I recommend just doing it here. The overall experience took us about 3 hours. There was also a Batman experience that cost extra and I've heard that's it's own experience. Overall--was it worth the price? I'd say it was. It was pretty fun, learned a lot, and it makes for a great date spot. Tips: --There are free lockers at the gift shop to hold your coats! --the hallway leading to the bathroom upstairs has a heat tech monitor that follows your movements, so it's fun to play with! I got caught dancing in there with my boyfriend haha

What a fun experience to learn about spy world and history of US espionage. I enjoyed how interactive this experience was. I also learned how much I am not fit to be in the spy world - lol. Great family activity! Check in on yelp for free webcam stickers!

I bought the "sightseeing pass" and this was one of the attractions that was included. I had no idea what it was before going but my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an espionage and spy museum and attraction. You walk through it and read about various spies, technology and historical situations. All the while, you stop at various stations and answer questions and take small tests. At the end, they tell you what you might be very good at. Code breaking? Agent handler? Special ops? Etc. This was an extremely interesting two hours and I learned a lot about espionage. There is a library and a gift shop as well. The employees are very pleasant and play along very well. The building is extremely clean, bright and clean. If you are in NYC and spy history and technology interests you, make sure you stop here. My bride and I loved it.

What a fun and interesting experience! We did the two attraction pass which was their spy museum plus a Batman experience. We started with the spy museum side, which was a lot bigger than I originally thought! There were computers set up in each of the room where you would do a challenge like math questions, problem solving questions, little games, etc and it would keep score. Each of the rooms had interesting things to learn about like malware, encryption, decryption, just a ton of different spy things. One of the challenges taught you how to tell if someone was lying and your challenge was to watch a tape and mark if you thought they lied. Another challenge had a dozen (problem more) surveillance cameras all on at once and you had to find different people from the videos. Then there was the laser challenge, which was honestly so cool. My coworkers and I did 3 out of the 4 rooms and honestly gave it our all, slipping, sliding and rolling around in there to not hit the lasers. We got on the leaderboard all three times, but one of my coworkers ripped his pants it was a blast. The Batman experience was so exciting and you could tell a lot of work went into it. It was interactive with your phone and you would chat with an AI who was guiding you through the experience. It was very interactive and not to give it away but you get to help save the day! 10/10 was so glad we stopped and did this!

Very poor experience for a group/team building activity. Maybe better for individuals looking for an activity for an hour.

This is definitely an attraction/activity, NOT a museum. If you go in expecting it to be like the Spy Museum in DC, you'll be disappointed. Pros: - Not super crowded, even in summer. - The interactive challenges. You scan your bracelet and can participate in seven different interactive activities, like a laser corridor, lie detection, surveillance. They were interesting enough for our 8yo and the grownups. Cons: - The price. So expensive for what you get. - The "museum". Not many artifacts on display, and that which is on display is all replica movie props and costumes from spy movies, not real tradecraft tools. - The Batman immersive experience. Needs an app on your phone, directions are unclear, and if you're not engaged in roleplaying it just isn't entertaining. We tried, but it wasn't for us. SPYSCAPE is okay if you're looking for interactive entertainment - if you're looking for more of a museum experience, there are better options in the city.

This place is awesome. It is super interactive and also a really cool museum covering real espionage and hacking, through all of history. The activities alone make it worth it and it is family friendly. I would return and take others, as well as try the beta test.

~$20 per adult, super fun immersive exhibits and museum. We went without purchasing tickets ahead of time, but when we got there, the front desk girls gave us a code for a bogo, so we ended up paying a lot less than expected. My cousin told us about this place and it was not something I have heard about before. It was super cool though, half a spy museum and half an interactive exhibit. You get to go through all the informational exhibits and do all these tests throughout the entire thing, a mix of puzzles and personality tests and at the end they'll tell you what job you would have if you worked in the spy industry. They also had a free coat check at the beginning which was nice to put our big bulky coats away. I would definitely recommend, not only was it super informational, but also super fun interactive exhibits!

I went to Spyscape as a Beta tester. The two challenges we performed were exciting, but there were glitches. Meanwhile, the rest of the obstacles were not working. Therefore we did not get to do anything for 40 minutes. We only had an hour booked. I am very disappointed. Now they want me to come back as a Beta tester and pay for their services. Yet I was promised to have the ability to come back for free due to the horrible circumstances. I would love to hear back from someone.

I had never been to Spyscape, so I didn't know what to expect, but it was fun! I really enjoyed going through the interactive exhibits and playing all of the games, and creating my own spy profile. I channeled my inner Carmen Cortez to solve each riddle and complete each quest. Overall I really had a great time and enjoyed the experience. That Monday was also Storybook Monday which meant they gave out a free book with each ticket purchase. I also got a reward on the yelp app after I had checked in, which was a camera cover sticker for my computer and phone. The employees were really nice and helpful too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for something to do in the city.
