Chain: Beat the Bomb
About This Location
Beat the Bomb in DUMBO redefines the escape room genre entirely. Teams suit up in hazmat gear to crack codes, dodge lasers, and defuse the world's biggest paint bomb — and if you fail, you get covered in paint, slime, or foam. The hybrid of physical challenges and puzzle-solving makes this wildly fun for groups, corporate events, and birthday parties. There is nothing else quite like it in NYC.
