Chaos In The GalleriaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLAn older room with great production value. A lot of creative and mostly non-linear puzzles that kept us busy. There was one puzzle with a confusing indicator that could have been designed better. We did this as a team of 5 (paid for 6) and were able to escape.
The AttractionPalace GamesEscape roomIRLNot your typical escape room. More focused on immersive storytelling and showcasing tech. Very repetitive puzzles that weren’t challenging and felt like an afterthought. I like puzzles so I was disappointed by this room. Would only recommend if you value the experience over puzzles.
UndercookedOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLVery fun and chaotic! This is a great room if you enjoy solving puzzles. We did this as a team of 3 enthusiasts and were able to complete 23/26 recipes with no hints. Bring 3 players if you want a challenge and 4 if you want to attempt a high score.
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLAmazing. My favorite room to date. Incredibly immersive with a variety of unique puzzles. The live actor was perfectly integrated and added to the gameplay by making one segment particularly exciting and memorable for us. We did this as a team of 3 enthusiasts (paid for 4 players) and were able to escape. Would highly recommend if you also loved Ghost Patrol from Trivium Games.
The Edison Escape RoomPalace GamesEscape roomIRLSome fun and creative puzzles but had too much repetition. The repetitive puzzles at the end felt like filler. Our team of 5 escaped with 20 minutes left. I haven’t been impressed by Palace Games but this is my favorite of the 3 rooms I’ve done.
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLAn interesting variation on the pirate theme. Lots of attention to detail in the set design. Loved the tiki bar and the puzzles at the start. The ending felt a little anticlimactic and could have been better.
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLChallenging puzzles with a fun surprise at the end. I appreciated the creativity of hint system but it was hard to understand and frustrating at times. Would recommend for experienced players.
Fair GameRed Door Escape Room - San MateoEscape roomIRLSome fun carnival themed puzzles but the room hasn't been maintained well. Puzzles are showing their age and aren't very high tech.
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLExceeded my expectations. Puzzles were done so well they felt magical. Strong immersive start with a weaker ending. I’m not a Harry Potter fan but I really enjoyed this room. Our GM was excellent.
