A MILLION WAYS IN, ONE WAY OUT The year is 1955. You’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Your new “home” is a cell that once belonged to an inmate who disappeared without a trace…or did he? Some claim he escaped. Others swear he was murdered by the infamously cruel warden. But no one actually knows… can you escape before you suffer the same fate?

Amazing and immersive experience. The atmosphere very much reminded me of my own Alcatraz visit (albeit more friendly of course). The puzzles were intuitive and we felt great pleasure in every one we solved. Staff were enthusiastic, too.

You are halved at the start, so an even number of people would be split equally.

It's in crowded SF, so we just took Bart.

Solid prison escape-style room with a cute read-in, good set design, and solid puzzles. Mostly classic puzzles with some creative aspects thrown in.

The one downside of this room is if you do it with max capacity, one of the rooms is REALLY crowded. Like sardines in there honestly, and it was hard to tell what had been used and what hadn’t. With a smaller group I think it’d be a really neat experience. Still fun though

I love the game play of this game. There are good challenges involved, and it requires a lot of teamwork. The group is split into two cells at the beginning of the experience, and are forced to communicate to solve the puzzles each group is faced with.

Because you may be paired with people you don't know, you may end up with more of a challenge than you anticipated.

Some walking between rooms, but no stairs and no climbing or crawling.

So far, my favorite game at The Escape Game besides Ruins. Split start is utilized well, set looks fantastic, and clever puzzles that make you feel smart. Above all, it’s a very immersive experience, from lighting to sound design to the set and puzzles themselves.

A magnet was not triggering a lock and took a bunch of fiddling to work.

Mostly good puzzles, though not super connected to the theme or each other. Team starts off split up, so good communication was key. Fun overall. We played with 7 but ideal is probably 4-6 experienced players. There were enough puzzles and room for everyone to be participating even with 7 which was good.

A room where you split into two teams in the beginning that must work together to escape. A great starter for folks new to escape rooms with an atypical prison themed room.
