Uncle Tick Tock's Circus

As someone that has done over a hundred escape rooms or so, I’ve been feeling pretty bored over the the style of escape room in the Sacramento and Bay Area. My friend was coming into town we decided to do some and found Grape Escape on Yelp and I am so glad we did. We did the jungle theme room and had so much fun we decided to return again in a couple months to do the last 2 rooms - Tick Tock and The Kracken. Before we were able to do the two rooms, one of our escape room friends passed and we wanted to take him with us! We made t-shirts with him on it and spent the day honoring his memory. The second day was a beautiful day in Napa. We also got to meet the owner John and his family which was pretty awesome! I have never had such attentive and awesome game masters, the rooms had some pretty unique puzzles even I haven’t seen before, and the whole operation was very well organized. We loved it so much, smashed the time records at the rooms we did and on top of that John offered us to go to the Escape tent located at the Yard at Oxbow for free!! After eating delicious food and drinks at the Yard we headed to the Escape tent which was actually really fun! I would totally recommend the tent for people with families, a first date, or pretty much anyone that wants an introduction to escape rooms! It was a blast! And after we got out, John and his son were right there waiting for us telling us we smashed that record too - and offered us a round of drinks. I can’t stop thinking of how great a day we all had wanted to thank The Grape Escape for making it happen. In this day and age where importance in customer service is pretty much non-existent, I’m grateful to see that that is not the case there. We will be back and also recommending it to others!

This room was a lot of fun! It was themed so perfectly, we will definitely be back to try out the other rooms! Hopefully chance will be our game master again because he was awesome and made the room even more enjoyable!

Spectacular set design and fun game play! My staff and I loved this room!

We really enjoyed all of the rooms at Grape escape-and the staff & owners! This room in particular, had my favorite puzzles( who doesnt love carnival games!). They were unique and it had a great game flow with a lot of puzzles to do. Some of the puzzles were extremely easy, others were on the harder side but we still had fun with the appropriate amount of good frustration haha. Overall, great room and by far the best location in the northern bay area region.

Great room, intuitive, and great people running the place. Definitely recommend.

A great set with big, tactile puzzles that felt right at home in a circus. Gameplay flowed the best of the rooms at this location giving all team members in a group of 4 good interactions. Enthusiastic owners and staff that care about their small business and customers.

Very well-designed room with hosts who definitely care about escape rooms. The room had one finicky element, but there was ample guidance around interacting with it. I loved how things came together and how the room made use of things I wouldn’t usually expect to be relevant.
