We're proud to present three real-life escape rooms in Hawthorne, NJ — each with an original story and puzzles you won't find anywhere else. Every game is private at no extra cost.
All escape rooms at The Other Tales are private experiences — once you book, no one else joins your time slot. Add players at the door any time (up to each room's max). Games run 60 minutes; you're never locked in and hints are unlimited.
Adventure in the early 1900s. Clara Ridley and Ed Harding founded a society for those who chase the world's legends — and uncovered a mysterious Relic. Enter a room locked for more than 100 years and learn their secrets.
“I've played close to 100 rooms, and I'd definitely put this one in my top 10.”
Investigate a strange event at a highly classified scientific lab — your actions may just save the world, or actually two worlds. Unexplained lights, vanishing objects, impossible sounds. What is the Anomaly? Find out inside.
“I've played close to 50 escape rooms and can easily place this among the best.”
Inspired by the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales. Unlock the secrets of a magical cottage hidden in an enchanted forest, where Mother Winter is about to begin the season — but she needs your help first.
“It was such a great time. We did Once Upon a Winter for my birthday and it was fantastic.”
Designed for adults and teens. We recommend players be at least 13. Teens under 16 should have someone 16+ playing with them.
Ages 10–12 are great at searching for clues and easier puzzles. At least one adult must play alongside kids under 13.
No frights and no physical activity beyond moving around the room — just clever fun for the whole group.
Book any room online, or call/text (973) 963-4142 to plan a private game for your group.
