Escape Rooms for Kids in San Diego

“The GM tells you up front that this is a single room so it was super neat to see how much was packed into one space. Great variety of puzzles. Absolutely adorable vibes- somehow they managed to make an escape room chill and cozy! Fairly easy room but highly recommend as it was very fun. The ending will put a smile on your face for sure! Plus this location has great GMs!”

“This room is super great for a ton of people. There are a TON of puzzles, and they're mostly nonlinear. The theming is cool and the objectives are satisfying and click. There's some dexterity based puzzles which I think are just fun. The last puzzle is also fun and helped feel lots of comradery.”

“Lots to like in this 90s nostalgic room! Adorable throwback theme and good variety of puzzles. Excellent use of props, media, and other pieces of set design. The room is much more linear than it first seems. My main gripe is that there were timer screens in the room that also displayed hints- even if you didn't ask for any! My team was consistently progressing at a decent pace but we still got tips on the screens that unfortunately took away some of the problem solving fun. Our GM also acted very disinterested, which was a bummer.”

“This was an awesome room. This may be my favorite from here, but it has been a long time since we did gold rush and the playground. The story flowed very well and kept us very immersed. Our group had a great time with a mix of 2 that have done over 100 rooms and 2 that had done 1 combined room before.”

“We have heard about the Ruins room in Nashville and have yet to make the trip out there. But this smaller version that Escape Game had exceeded my expectations that it definitely makes me want to go to Nashville even more. It’s an easier room than the other Escape Games (6/10 difficulty) but I enjoyed all the puzzles and found them intuitive. One of the production effects made me laugh out loud and depending on how jumpy you are, it could be a memorable experience (warrior heads). We had Angela as our game master and she went above and beyond for us. I was taking my younger sister to one of her first escape rooms and she made sure that we had a great time. I will be sure to recommend our friends to this location specifically. They have a Wall of Fame for individuals who finished all of the Escape Game rooms, which we happened to have done, so that is a nice touch! Great service and I would recommend no more than four people for this particular game.”

“Amazing room! One of the most high tech rooms I have seen. There was no leading to clues in the beginning, the only small negative is Hermes the “onboard computer” did ramble once and gave a somewhat leading clue.”

“This was my husband and I's first time playing a room at The Escape Game and it did not disappoint! This escape room was quirky, full of character, and legitimately fun! You also get a personalized prop that you keep as a souvenir whether you escape or not. This room is easily doable with 2 people but I don't recommend it for complete beginners as it has some unique and cleverly difficult puzzles that might stump newcomers. My husband and I have each done about 20 escape rooms and opted to do this one with just the two of us as it is ranked amongst the easiest at this location. We escaped with about 18 minutes to spare and had a blast the entire time. We used 2 hints as we did hit a couple of points where we couldn't see how to proceed but our GM, CJ, was quick, attentive, and a wiz at providing solid clues. Overall, this room is a great intro to this company for escape room enthusiasts and has several time travel easter eggs from various movies and tv shows that are fun to catch. At the end of the room, CJ pointed out the ones we had missed, further adding to our amusement and love of this room. Can't wait to do the rest! For those who want to do the rooms in order of difficulty, we would rank this experience as harder than Gold Rush but easier than The Depths.”

“Super fun game! Set design was on point and combined with really fun uses of props, the feel of this room is super fun! This is a non-linear experience and most things felt intuitive. There were some aspects that didn’t link well with one another and multiple moments in which we were wondering what exactly we should be doing. Overall, a fun room that is perfect for a small group!”

“By far my favorite experience at this location! This heist has unique in the types of puzzles and locations that you are involved in throughout the room. This non-linear experience had the best continuity between rooms and puzzles, with a lot of the puzzles being super satisfying to put together and finally complete. The final puzzle sequence was super fun to manipulate and even though it was finicky at times felt super satisfying to pull off.”

“Another home run from the Escape Game UTC. They truly are at the top of production value, and their staff is so nice. We finished this room with 2 hints. They are good at nudging you without giving you the answers to what's got you stuck. The theming was great. The puzzles were great. Lots for a group to do. We had 8 people in ours, and everyone was able to chip in. Hint: Remember to look for clues high and low.”

“The puzzles are fun. The atmosphere is good, but I feel like they could have leaned into it a little bit more. It has non-linear sections, in case you like to split up, but it is also totally possible to do everything together if you focus more on seeing everything. We did everything together and did not have to rush.”

“This was a fun and immersive game. Not particularly hard, but great if you are a fan of the cartoon. Not just for beginners there are a few puzzles that will require some thought and more advanced problem solving. Recommended to any level group if you're looking for a fun ride, but not hard enough if you're looking specifically for difficult puzzles. Also you should tell you game master in advance if you don't want them to give unprompted clues!!!”

“Fun little room! Brought my 5yo and they let me book back-to-back 30min slots so I could take the time to work thru puzzles with him rather than run them myself. We only barely needed the extra time, if that tells you the level of difficulty of the room, but it was a great intro room!”

“Remember, you “get busy living or get busy dying.” (Andy Dufresne). The Sheepshank Redemption was a very interactive and busy escape room, but I truly had a great time with this one! Its theme is similar to the film, Shawshank Redemption, but you don’t necessarily need knowledge of the film to escape. What Sheepshank Redemption does well is its blend of storytelling with puzzles and the added pressure of being in a cell block. The puzzles were semi non-linear but made sense with the story of where and why. It’s a split-start beginning which tests your teamwork and communication skills, and the linear gameplay was a nice touch. The ending was creative and worked well with your mission. I will admit, this escape room is VERY puzzle heavy and can be tedious if you aren’t paying attention. You truly have to listen or you might miss some of the tasks at hand, but I would highly recommend Sheepshank Redemption!”

“This room was really good. It was so well themed. As a borderlands fan, it felt like I was stepping foot on pandora. It was so cool. All the puzzles were intuitive and we progressed naturally from one to the other. We didn’t even really need a clue. Our Game Master, Mico, was amazing, and we had a blast. One of our favorite experiences we’ve ever had. The only negative I can find, and it’s really only nitpicking, is that I feel like it might be a bit too linear for a larger group because there might not always be enough to keep everyone occupied, but that’s perfectly fine for us because we’re rolling with two people.”

“This room had a lot going on! We were busy the whole time with lots of great “ah-ha” moments. We escaped using no hints, but there was still some good cognitive struggle. It was hard enough to be interesting but not frustrating. If you’re a beginner, this might not be my first recommendation as there are a lot of parts to each puzzle, but our experienced group of 2 loved it and had a great time.”
