Haunting at Haruka High

Awesome!! Definitely not our first escape room, but this one stood out for its incredible pacing, great prop design, and super thematic puzzle based story telling. Mostly no filler puzzles and definitely good for a larger group (maybe 5-6). Great if you love highly themed puzzles and spooky stories.

6/10 They buy their games from China and it shows. Production and set design are nice but this experience is very slow and boring. Not many puzzles but the ones they have definitely feel poorly translated. More of an experience than an escape room.

Probably my fav game from this location and fav horror room in the Bay Area. Liked how the puzzles were related to the story. Game had a few good jump scares I wasn’t expecting. Story kept me wanting to keep moving through the room. Overall, really good game!

Loved the production quality! Amazing room, would recommend.

Cool theme, japanese high school. Can't say there are too many of those around. Scares aren't too overwhelming, but it's definitely a scary game. I missed some of them, due to circumstances but it's on me. On the harder side, we escaped with 1 minute left, team of 5 enthusiasts.

A fun room, but not as strong as Chaos or Robotopia. Really strong special effects which gave us a few good frights! But the time controls were frustrating: the room has a 30% success rate, but no visible clock (you had to check the time on the walkie-talkie), many long cut scenes you have to sit through, and some goofy time-consuming player interactions. We escaped with seconds to spare; we would have been really sad to have failed and missed the finale. I think the game would be better if it let everyone "win" (e.g. like the story-based rooms in Spain or Montreal). I usually enjoy narrative in games, but this one felt like a chore: a couple of the "puzzles" felt like they were just testing us on our understanding of some exposition we'd just heard.

It’s a scary room. I highly recommend bringing one or more person that doesn’t get scared easily and is okay with this theme. We did it with 3 people, 2 scaredy cats with 4 mins left to spare. The room felt like it’s never ending since there were so many rooms to explore. There is climbing involved. Honestly it’s a great immersive room with a lot of story involved. It’s best to know ahead of time who would be trying the tactics out otherwise it drags the game out and you may not escape in time. Our GM is amazing and attentive.

Very good experience! The story and atmosphere was amazing with decent amount of puzzles. My personal favorite part was that the design of puzzles considered quite a mount of Asian cultural scary elements and myths, which definitely enriched the flavor.

I was a little nervous about doing this room, because I normally don’t like scary rooms with actors. But this one looked so cool that I decided to take a chance. I am so glad we did. This was an awesome room, with multiple excellent puzzles and tons of atmosphere. We both had a fantastic time. We are a little older and getting through from one room to another was a bit difficult, but nothing we couldn’t handle. This room reminded me a little bit of “Doki Doki Literature Club,” not so much for the story, but for the atmosphere of a spooky Japanese school with some very dark secrets. I highly recommend this room! There were only two of us, and we didn’t get out in the 90 minutes, but our guide was kind enough to let us finish the story anyway. This one is really more about the story than the puzzles, but that’s not to say the puzzles aren’t excellent.

Now this was a haunting worth the cash. Haruka High was both a fantastic escape room with some strong puzzles (including one great multilevel puzzle and some cool communication aspects) and a great horror experience with some incredible special effects. There is one room in particular that was both so deeply in-universe while also being an incredible special effect setup that blew my mind. The space is also so much bigger then I expected and was all used masterfully. Omescape has put out masterpiece after masterpiece and this one continues that trend
