Clockwise Escape Room - Pleasanton

  • Escape room
  • IRL
We absolutely love Clockwise rooms, so when they opened the new room we knew we had to try it! It was absolutely adorable! My whole family is into fantasy and DnD, so we knew this room would be great for us. The set decorations were great! Our operator mentioned they were going to add another puzzle to the second room--we whizzed through it quickly. And make sure that you completely empty each of the chests: one opened and we missed a clue because my daughter didn't pull out all the items from the chest!

This room is absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere starts the moment you arrive, before you even step into the lobby. There are live actors which help usher you through the experience--I came into this part blind! I didn't realize they would be with us the whole way through! They were absolutely FANTASTIC. It's definitely on the creepy side, but I've seen worse! There was a lot going on so parts of the story were a little challenging to follow, but the puzzles were great.

This was one of the weirdest rooms I've ever done. The plot itself is really bizarre--we're going INSIDE Sherlock Holmes's mind??--but when you get inside there are a bunch of really weird and creepy visuals, and bizarre puzzles. That being said, it provided a challenge, and we had to use teamwork to make it all work out. Some of the puzzles were incredibly challenging. Others were a little finicky. Others were quite creepy.

I love the idea of travelling through time on a train and the different rooms are different periods in time. This room borrowed some of that idea, but used it in a completely different way! We had 7 adults on this experience, and it seemed like a perfect number of people for the puzzles that we had. We all worked together--there didn't seem to be any part where only one person could work on a puzzle at a time. No bottlenecking! I love that! :)

I really wanted this room to be amazing. I had high hopes. (I really want to try their Scooby-Doo themed room because I hear it's good? Though, after our experience with this one, I don't know if my family will do it with me!) We didn't have a great experience with this room. It felt like it was too small for the four of us, and we kept bumping into each other. There just didn't seem like enough for everyone to do--maybe it would be better with 2 instead of 4 players? There was a lot of detail put into the props and set pieces, but it felt like I was so frustrated and in a rush that I didn't get to enjoy them. Some of the items were high-tech, and others felt too easy, too mechanical. I don't know why, but the whole theme of the room didn't seem to work for me. It felt like it was cobbled together.

I've done both Prison Break games at this location and the other in San Francisco. I liked them both for different reasons--this one is fun because it relates to Alcatraz. You can tell that the game makers did their homework and included some fun details. There was one part where I couldn't figure out how to get something open, but I should have read the instructions. That's my best advice: don't go too fast that you skip instructions! :)

While I really liked the atmosphere of the room, and the puzzles seemed to be interesting, there were far too many places where our movement forward hinged on one puzzle that we just couldn't figure out. There were also some malfunctions in the room--doors opened before they were supposed to open, and at one point the whole system just crashed! The room went dark, with only emergency lights. The operator was absolutely wonderful--kept us appraised the whole time about what was happening... he had to come in and reboot the whole system. We likened it to having a Disneyland ride shut down and being escorted off. But that combined with the challenging puzzles we just couldn't figure out made for a frustrating experience.

This room is incredible! It takes an exact number of players because everyone is blindfolded and led into separate rooms at the beginning... and you have to work together to get out. Each player has their own "role" and their own challenges. And each player has their own box to solve. If everyone solves their boxes, AND the group gets out in time... then you survive! But only a small percentage of groups actually survive completely. We went in with 5 players, which is the minimum you'd want. I think they can put more than one player in each room, but if you're with an experienced group, you don't need more than 1. It was my friend's first game ever, and she did great! The rest of the family supported her through it... we're very experienced.
