“This room is on par with the ones in Japan. Very immersive, fun storyline and challenges and puzzles were very unique. This was more than just trying to escape but an experience on a different level! Be ready to leave America and step foot in Japans Himitsu Station.”

“We enjoyed this room! The kids had a great time running around the room looking for clues. We felt a little silly since 3 of us felt for the hidden object, but didn’t feel it and had to ask for a hint.”

“Arcadia flowed well - puzzles made sense, set did a good job conveying what it was trying to convey. It's a hokey premise, but I'm a sucker for it, which probably increased my enjoyment. Nothing struck me as mindblowing, but Arcadia felt like a good, solid execution that I would happily recommend to a new player.”

“WOW! This game is an experience! Definitely more challenging with a smaller group but still incredibly doable. We had 4 experienced players and still had plenty of time left. Gameplay is interesting. Without spoiling anything, this game can totally be replayed without much prior knowledge, as each individual never really sees every puzzle being completed. The set alone is enough reason to play this one, but the gameplay does include some really cool and fun puzzles. Tip- wear comfy shoes and prepare to do a lot of moving around :)”

“You get on the prison bus, they handcuff you in... the rest is history because you must escape! Really fun "room" with lots of interesting puzzles and a live actor involved. One of the puzzles involves a lot of math and I for the life of me kept messing up and the actor really applied pressure to make it fun. Our originally booked room was "Chloe" and due to snow we couldn't get there on time. They worked with us to find something else that would work the next day and I'm glad it was this one because of how unique the bus experience was. I'd hands down love to go back to Alcatraz Escape Room and do more of their rooms. Only call out - if it's cold out, make sure you wear appropriate clothes. You're basically outside in an unconditioned bus.”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
