Special Ops: Mysterious Market

I did three games with this company while I was in SF and this was my favorite of them. All three were great rooms but, in this one, the story takes a dramatic twist halfway through which is SO fun, and the second act puzzles are INCREDIBLY fun, involving some high-tech stuff that felt really snappy and well-designed. Did this with two people, and we're pretty sure we went a few minutes over time, haha—the GM very kindly snuck some extra minutes on the clock so we could finish solving the (very cool) last puzzle. Had a blast!

The second best game here, and one of The Escape Game’s best, only overshadowed by Prison Break, Ruins, and Playground. Anyway, it’s one of the best in San Francisco, and this game is very well done. The game feels split in two halves, and those two halves are very different from each other. I personally preferred the first half, but to each their own. The room looks amazing, sounds amazing, and even smells amazing, and has some very neat puzzles in it too. The storyline is cohesive, though it does rely heavily on screens. I’m a fan of this one for sure. Highly recommend this one.

This is my personal favorite of The Escape Game rooms and I strongly recommend it. The set design is awesome and the story is engaging as well. The room itself was not too hard, but was still fun to progress through the different stages. On the whole I feel all of The Escape Game rooms are fairly easy and this continues that trend, which isn't a bad thing. Definitely a strong recommendation for beginners or those who just want to have a good time.

What I loved the most of this room was the setting. I had played this room after I had just come from the Middle East, and I felt like I was back there again in a marketplace.

Lot of fun. Can be tight quarters so don’t bring a big group. Great decorations and clever puzzles. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite room at the Escape Game SF location! I did this with my wife and my best friend. We really had a blast. I'm not even sure if the design was that top tier, but it just really felt Iike we were in a Middle Eastern market! The mix of puzzle was fun. This was like the 3rd or 4th room my best bud did with me and my wife. And this room is his favorite escape room. I'll just leave it at that
