      Make time for these

      Trapped DownRiver, on West Jefferson Avenue in downtown Trenton, mixed escape rooms with a haunted house by sending live actors into the rooms while you played. There were two games. The Asylum dropped you into Dr. Brodmann's special project for troubled children, and Area 32 was a face-to-face monster encounter. Yelp marked it closed (the page was updated in August 2025), and the website no longer loaded when we checked on September 26, 2026.
