Palace Games has discovered another secret inner-sanctum within the walls of the Palace of Fine Arts. This mysterious attraction premiered at San Francisco's Worldβs Fair in 1915, but was then immediately condemned for reasons unknown. After an arduous restoration effort, Palace Games reopened this secret marvel of the 1915 fair. We've yet to uncover its odd purpose. Are you bold enough to solve the mind-bending mystery of The Attraction?

Truly insane; I have no idea how they pulled off some of the special effects to this day. It was insanely expansive and well done, the puzzles felt balanced.

Palace Games is always a cut above the rest. This was no exception; however, I personally preferred the Edison room over the Attraction. I felt that the puzzles and storyline in Edison were less repetitive than in the Attraction. However, the detailed decor and ambiance in the various rooms of the Attraction were definitely very special and well-executed.

Production quality at Palace Games is always phenomenal. This game isn't their best, in my opinion, but it's still leagues ahead of almost every other escape room I've played.
Storyline was interesting at first, but got a bit repetitive after a while.

The sensor on one of the pull cords in the first room to capture the light was not working. I had to call in the staff to manually reset it.

Such a one of a kind room! There were several game mechanics that blew us away tech wise and the puzzles themselves were plentiful and engaging! You can tell a lot of love was put into this room. Definitely worth a play!

Escaped with about 8 people. I was really excited for this one because there's a lot of hype around it, and I think it fell short of that. The transformative aspect of the room was GREAT and the tech/props were fantastic, but I felt like it was a bit gimmicky and got repetitive.

It would have been more fun if people stayed at their own stations during certain parts of the game. Itβs not really an escape room if you cannot fail. Take some magic mushrooms if you really wanna trip during this experience. Although you may or may not really need them. π΅βπ«

Hands down the best escape room Iβve ever played. Absolutely immersive, unique, challenging and fun. Itβs the game that my family and I talk about often and always compare every other game we do to. Itβs pricey but so well worth the money. The story is fantastic and interesting and the puzzles are novel and stimulating. Our party had 3 adults with decent experience and 3 children around age 8-11. It was pretty hard and we did have to ask for several hints. The kids were able to contribute most of the time but at some points felt overwhelmed. We wouldβve benefited from having 2 more adults. Overall, couldnβt recommend more.

What a fantastic room! Difficult to do with the minimum, I expect, unless you're all experts. I went with the maximum amount of people because we were not all experts or enthusiasts. Attraction is undoubtedly one of my top five (as of 2024) rooms I've ever done. The set is amazing, the immersion is on a whole other scale from what I've ever experienced, and the puzzles are so fun! They make sense and they flow very well. Everyone gets to participate so even if you have the maximum amount of players, no one is doing absolutely nothing. So much love and care (and money) have been poured into this and I can say without a doubt that it's really paid off. Play this room if you get the chance!

Amazing room. Amazing surprises. Less about the game and more about the experience. So much fun!

Ahh, this room was like a labyrinth! π² Very cool production, unique storyline, and not at all what I was expecting. π Tbh, it was not my cup of tea. Some of the "games" were so repetitive, and so I think there may be some malfunctioning happening. Also, I wanted to feel the sense of more urgency in terms of finding clues and solving puzzles and ... this did not give me that. It was still fun, but it didn't live up to the hype that people built up for me. I really hope I get to do the other escape rooms at Palace of Fine Arts because I heard those ones are more like your typical escape rooms which I very much prefer.
