Escape Rooms for Kids in Oakland

“Okok I’m a HUGE sucker for “childhood” themed rooms so I might be biased here. I loved the whimsy, I liked playing around with all the toys finding delightful hidden things. Puzzles were really solid and it was perfect for two people! Probably my favorite room at this location.”

“Been wanting to play this one because I wanted to go with a bigger grouping. We went with 7 but intended to go with 10. Definitely helped having that many with us. I think 7-8 is just right. Lots of fun!”

“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!”

“Now here’s a real Alcatraz escape room! Don’t get thrown into prison in the fake ones (and I guess, also not the real non-escape room one). This is mostly similar to the regular prison break room, which we had done before. It’s about 40% different, though we still had to ask the GM which parts exactly differed. Overall, still fun, a classic split start prison break with interesting puzzles and tasks. It’s a public room so be sure warned you may have prison mates. We got a private room thankfully, but when we did the original, we were cramped with a group of 6. This game is well-themed for Fisherman’s Wharf, and this specific version is exclusive to SF!”

“This was a fun game that transported you into into a different time period. I felt that most puzzles were intuitive to figure out, but at times there were some that required a nudge. Definitely liked this one though! It was very hands on.”

“Fun room. We've done quite a few "candy" themed rooms and this one had a unique charm to it. The puzzles flowed well and were challenging. One involved a sense that we aren't good with and it held is up a bit causing us to do some guess and check. The GM was nice and they have a good lobby area.”

“Play casino. Win or rob chips. Rob the bank. Do the same hand manipulation 500 times. Learn how to play blackjack before playing the room. Note: Two puzzles reuse elements from the other puzzles. At least one puzzle is optional and it is expert-difficulty hard.”

“Revenge of Medusa was one of my favorite rooms here and a really fun experience from start to finish. The atmosphere matched the Greek mythology theme very well and helped bring the story to life. What I appreciated most was how the puzzles connected with the story and theme. Nothing felt out of place, and the flow made sense throughout the room, which kept the game moving smoothly. There was also a puzzle I had never seen before, which was a huge plus and made the room feel even more unique and memorable. Overall, Revenge of Medusa had great atmosphere, strong theme connection, creative puzzles, and a smooth flow. It definitely stood out to me and became one of my favorite rooms at this location.”

“There were multiple rooms and all of them had a good amount of number and word scrambling puzzles. The first and second room also had fun physical games. When we got to the last room, we were treated to another collection of fun puzzles. A few of the puzzles in the last room required us to look back in the first room. Our game master (Julian) was very welcoming and helpful throughout. Our group had a great time here!”

“Saving Frankenstein was my first room at this location, and it was a blast from start to finish. The atmosphere had a spooky, eerie, and mysterious vibe that fit the theme really well. One thing I really appreciated was the clever way the room kept track of time. It was a nice touch and made the experience feel more unique. The puzzles also matched the theme and story, and nothing felt random or out of place. The flow made sense, and everything worked smoothly during our gameplay with nothing feeling finicky or broken. Overall, Saving Frankenstein was a fun, well-themed, and memorable room. It had great atmosphere, fitting puzzles, smooth gameplay, and a creative touch that made it stand out. Definitely one of my favorite rooms here.”

“This was so so much fun! This was our first escape room with Red Door and we enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day. The GM was great and we loved the puzzles. There was a great flow throughout the game. The last part was difficult for us and we got out at the last minute. Can’t wait to be back!”

“Fairly newer to escape rooms and this one was so fun! I love carnivals and fairs, so this was right up my alley. Some of the games were a bit old and one of the games malfunctioned, so our time had to be paused. Regardless, i thoroughly enjoyed this room and even had a couple Aha moments after putting together some of the puzzles! Great flow throughout the room.”

“Very fun game and one of the best rooms for a group on 7 people! There were puzzles that were made easier with team work and enough puzzles for multiple people to work on at the same time. Which is GREAT! Really cool themed and use of tech wands. lots of magic and well-themed!”

“Agent Tokyo had a ton of distractions in the form of posters and stickers but that’s part of the fun. Once you see the ones that matter, you can’t unsee it. The first clue we got actually required us to use a poster and it wasn’t obvious at all. We had great fun figuring out what went into the 5 ramen bowls. The middle room was an immersive elevator with one main puzzle that should be obvious but we got distracted by a clue that’s for later. The final room with the bio vials had a series of physical puzzles and locks that kept us on the edge too.”

“Very cute room! I'm obsessed with big dogs (not a huge fan of the Scooby-Doo gang, but I love Scooby-Doo himself)! The puzzles were pretty challenging. Very creative theme. I love the atmosphere and vibe in the room. Unfortunately, we ran out of time. I am still in shock that we didn't escape this room. 😅 BUT I still had fun nonetheless. 😊”
