New York City is no stranger to immersive entertainment—from Broadway shows and museums to pop-ups and interactive experiences. Families looking for hands-on, high-energy fun that's completely new and different now have a reason to head to Times Square. Two major attractions—The Great Big Game Show and The Escape Game—have officially opened inside the iconic Brill Building, bringing next-level, tech-enabled play right into the heart of Midtown.

Built side-by-side, these million-dollar game environments blend cinematic set design, intuitive technology, and group-friendly challenges that feel part game show, part adventure. It’s a fresh way for families and friends to play together, especially if you’re looking to break out of the usual tourist loop.
