This is clearly an older style escape room, which I don’t love. It’s mainly three puzzles but in order to solve them you have to connect some dots or find items where it feels more like you have to get lucky. We spent almost half our time in the first room because we didn’t spot something. Also, my friend grabbed a live slug out of a hole in the wall while searching for clues. This really did feel like alcatraz in that sense :)

Decent room but wish it had a few more puzzles. We got stalled on something a little silly in hindsight but still got out with decent time to spare. BUT I did accidentally grab a live slug not knowing what it was in this room which was a little gross.
Just like any other prison escape room

This was the most on theme jail escape room I’ve ever done. Truly felt like I was in jail. Definitely an older room. On the much lower side for rooms I’ve done.

Damp basement, tired props. The game was fine but it needs some TLC and a fresh air supply.

Room is in the basement. Old but goes with the theme. Humid. Definitely felt like a prisoner of Alcatraz. I don’t know how, but I walked out with a bleach stain on the pocket of my shirt.

This game really shows its age. The set is thematic, but the ceiling was leaking. The puzzles were fair but relied on certain dexterity skill which feels unfair. It's unclear sometimes what is part of the game and what isn't. Still good for me overall.

Some of the puzzles were well done, but I didn’t enjoy being in the room because of the atmosphere. Things were damp and it was hard to breathe. We felt gross afterwards and both went to wash our hands immediately.
Very immersive… but gross. A lot of items we had to use were moist, and it was hard to breathe.

We completed it just fine with only two (very experienced) players. I don’t think there would be much room for 4+.

We had to reset one puzzle before it would work, things didn’t seem in very good condition but that might have been for atmosphere.
No
Not at all
Difficult to see, stairs into and out of the room. No color-based puzzles.

Some fun puzzles, I would say this is more of a beginner room. For experienced escapists, this room may not be challenging enough.

It's not often that I get handcuffed to a wall.

This is fun for beginner groups or groups visiting the Bay Area. It’s simple and fun for families. My visiting family enjoyed it.
