Escape Rooms for Kids in San Jose

“Absolute chaos in the best way possible! If you love puzzles, this is the room for you. The frenzy of recipes presented to you makes for a fast-paced experience. My group of 3 went in knowing there would be a lot to do, so we hit the ground running and it was genuinely exhilarating trying to bounce around to different puzzles without pausing for transitions or story beats. It honestly felt like we were chefs working in a kitchen slammed for the dinner rush, cooking in parallel but calling out for each other when we needed info or a second pair of eyes. The sheer volume of puzzles already had me sold, but the variety and mechanics of the room were outright impressive.”

“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.”

“A magical fairy tale with a very pretty decorated set and great themed puzzles and a stellar finale! It’s very fun! There’s a pointless split that I wasn’t a fan of, but otherwise the room flows well in a mostly linear fashion as you find the fractured fairy tales. It’s a great room for children too to experience their escape ever afters!”

“Tier: A (see bio) It’s insane how a game of this caliber can be reproduced across the entire country. Definitely the best game I have played from a major chain (note: I have not played any other games from The Escape Game yet). A great immersive storytelling game with solid puzzles, a great atmosphere change, and enough plot to make you feel like the main characters in your own espionage film. (This also would work well as an introduction to escape rooms though it would definitely be a harder beginner game.)”

“Medieval cat room, what’s not to love meow? We actually did this 90 minute room as the 5th in a row of Omescape’s super long games. And although we were tired, we still had a great time because of the fun cat puns, silly humor, and purrfect combo of a cat castle. Some puzzles did feel unintuitive or made no sense, but maybe we were just tired. Room still made me smile! It’s a ridiculous novel premise that just works and it’s easy to love! I only wish we got to see more kittehs! MEOW!”

“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.”

“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.”

“The set design was really nice, as expected of an escape room at The Escape Game. The puzzles were pretty linear, and most of them were easy enough to figure out. There were a few parts that I think could be updated (one puzzle in particular was very hard to see and near impossible to complete unless done EXACTLY right). I wish The Escape Game would follow what most companies do and allow for private bookings (and not charge and arm and a leg to do so); this, a pretty delayed start time, and having to wait outside the facility were the only hiccups. We still had a great time overall.”

“This was a great overall experience. The design of the room and puzzles flowed together and made sense. The payoff at the end was great. There were good digital as well as physical elements throughout the game.”

“We really enjoyed this room. As Doctor Who fans, it was great to have a time traveling element, and it was done in an interesting way. There was a good variety of puzzles with some neat surprises along the way.”

“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.”

“My husband and I loved this room. The game master was fun, the room flowed well, and unlike some others we enjoy lock and key puzzles. We find excitement in that turn the key moment. We had a great experience and can’t wait to come back and finish the other rooms!”

“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.”
