Palace Games has discovered another secret inner-sanctum within the walls of the Palace of Fine Arts. This mysterious attraction premiered at San Francisco's World’s Fair in 1915, but was then immediately condemned for reasons unknown. After an arduous restoration effort, Palace Games reopened this secret marvel of the 1915 fair. We've yet to uncover its odd purpose. Are you bold enough to solve the mind-bending mystery of The Attraction?

I highly recommend this specific room at Palace Games. It has multiple rooms and so many different puzzles that is enough for 6-8 people. Each room and the mechanics of the rooms was so well thought out. This room has been one of my absolute favorite.

Very impressive set and technology for the game and puzzles. Story was a bit weird and puzzles seemed easy when compared with other escape rooms at Palace Games.

FANTASTIC! Words can’t do justice to the marvel that is The Attraction! This absolutely pushes the definition of what an escape room can be, and exceeded all my expectations. It’s what would happen if you combined escape rooms, video games, and a Disneyland theme park ride and crammed it all into one theatrical masterpiece event. While there are puzzles, the ultimate focus is to progress through the story. And the game will do everything it can to make sure you complete it. The room adapts to your group size, and it provides hints without the need of a game master to tell you what to do. We had a group of 2 and finished under 2 hours! Technically, there is no time limit, so you can soak in the sights and enjoy. Again, witness this for yourself. It’s too magical and emotional a journey to pass up! Loved every single second!!

Gameplay was nice. It was less on the puzzles and more on the technology as the group travels through space. There’s no time limit which makes it less stressful. The space game in between stops was amusing and fun.

Best time of the day. Escaped in roughly 90 minutes out of total 2 hours. Very immersive, library and tree rooms were really cool

This game was a strange mash up of very different rooms, some better than others. There is no “time limit”, they tell you just to expect about a two hour game. Like Edison, there were puzzles that had to be done over an over. One particular puzzle has to be done 9 times. And honestly, none of us really understood the solution to that one. There were some very neat elements to this game and some puzzles that we found fun and clever, but there was also a lot of extra stuff that could have been left out, imo. Between this game and Edison, choose The Attraction.

Definitely different from most escape experiences. Puzzles didn’t feel like the main focus, which was a little bit of a disappointment. The puzzles themselves weren’t difficult either. Theming was immersive and technology super impressive, but overall not my favorite room. Multiple people got motion sick, wish there had been warning beforehand.

While visiting the Bay Area we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try Palace Games! I’ve heard it is one of the best rooms in the US, so I went in with big expectations. The tech was amazing and unique. The game play was okay - good, but not “best in the country” good. Overall it was definitely a fun way to spend the afternoon on vacation! Make sure you explore the Palace of the Fine Arts before/after your game too, because it is gorgeous!

This was my first Palace Games escape room and wow, the production value is so high! “The Attraction” had a really fun storyline and no time limit, so you can slow down and really enjoy the story elements as they play out. The puzzles were easy-medium and a lot of fun to solve in a group. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a cool experience to try!
