Excellent! - Highly recommend Spyscape to anyone interested in the life of espionage. The museum portion is fun and informative with several interactive stations as you move throughout the exhibits. My kids liked this quite a bit. We also paid extra and did the SpyGames experience. HIGHLY recommend doing this if you have energetic kids. Both of mine loved all the different games and said this was the best part of our 5-day trip to NYC.
The staff was also super helpful and friendly. They helped me with a ticket snafu (totally my fault) and were very patient and accommodating. Excellent all around!

Very Educational - Seeing a WW2 Enigma machine in person, the laser activity at the end. The activities are interactive and very educational.

Sympa - Very interesting museum on the history of espionage in the United States and the world. Very interactive museum with different games to know what type of spy you are.

Very Fun - Very fun to come to the museum and explore technology and how people can hack. The SPYGAMES were also very fun to do. I would recommend.

interesting, unique, fun, until I got hurt, but I would still go back if fixed - Bottomline: interesting, unique, fun, until I got hurt, but I would still go back.
Disclaimer: I am writing this, to prevent someone else to get hurt, the place is interesting and fun, and I would go back, but you, the reader, and the management need to know, that there is a safety issue. The recount of the experience and my review: So, I would go back but... I had just given it a 10/10 at the location survey and then I played one more game, the room #1 and got hurt trying to collect points for my team. Since I hurt my head too anyway, even though blocking with shoulder, I can tell that possibly I could have cut and hurt my head badly. As you would see in the photos I uploaded, my shoulder got cut and I got a big bump too (and it got worse that night, but I am better already). The issue with that game is that in the middle of it by round 2 or 3, one of the circles where you have to jump to, moves too close to the exit door and there's an edge that needs to be boldened more and also the circle needs to move further from it, so people do not hit that edge by trying to just enjoy the game and get points. I told this to the location staff, so I am writing this review just in case so this gets taken care of to prevent someone else from getting hurt (specially to prevent a child from getting hurt) and so that therefore Spyscape keeps operating because besides that we had fun, and it is a very interesting spot. I would go back, but I would suggest that the issue gets fixed on game room #1 and for them to check other games too for safety just in case. (see photos I submitted). Thank you for reading. I am just trying to help for a better experience.

Interesting but Overpriced - I visited Spyscape with my son while on vacation in NYC. We opted to complete the Discover your Spy Role section, so this review is only related to that option and not the Spy Games section.
While there were many espionage articles and information throughout the course of the section we were in, there was really very limited interactive tasks to complete which was primarily the reason we chose that experience. With such limited interactive tasks, it's really hard to feel like their spy role assessment had any merit. If you chose this option, it is best for visitors that are interested in seeing a variety of exhibits and stories related to former spy activity. If that is not your game, then this would be a pass. Again, not sure of the gaming side of the experiences.

Doors locked and no one opened doors for our 10am reservation!! - We turned up at 9.50am for our 10am slot and the doors were locked! We waited along with a full line of people for over half an hour and no one opened the doors. We could see staff inside!! No one answered phones! My boys were so so disappointed! We left as had other plans on our itinerary that day. Very disappointed, still waiting on our refund, no response yet on that either.

Waste of time and money - It was a disappointment. My 9 years old and I have visited the Spyscape. Neither of us was happy as it was far too small and not much to do either
It doesn't worth the money and time spent. Not recommended it at all

Waste of time and money. - I thought this would be a great experience for my young teens and it turned out that some of the activities were geared to younger kids and they were very bored and to get your profile you had to answer multiple questions which not sure how young kids could understand. My teens could understand but thought answer all of these survey questions was a task and they were frustrated. The staff that we encountered were unbelievably rude. It was crowded and more than a handful of times a kid swiped their band in the middle of an experience and they had to start again. Half the time they didn’t bother. Don’t waste your time or money.
