So good we did it twice
Family
Great escape rooms and friendly atmosphere. We were in SF for a long weekend and my son (13) loves escape rooms. This was really convenient, very close to Union Square, maybe a 2-5 minute walk and just a few blocks away. They had several choices for room themes, we did the Gold Rush room. We chose it mostly because, and this is a great thing, you can see how many people have signed up for which rooms on the website. We prefer to do the rooms with other people, and always end up making some friends and having fun.

We finished the gold rush room with a few minutes left, and had such a great time we booked another for the next night. You get a discount if you do it there....we booked it online and the staff was super nice and gave us the discount because they remembered us from the night before. Thanks!!

We did the Secret Market room the second time, and this one had some cool and clever puzzles to figure out, not just finding numbers and unlocking locks. And there was two different parts for this one, we really enjoyed it. (no spoilers!)

The staff is very friendly and professional, the sign up process was very quick and easy, and the rooms were great!! Highly recommend!

Andrew was an amazing guide! He made our group feel comfortable and was very friendly. He was well versed in his job and always jumped in at the right times to help us through the escape room. Would definitely recommend!

Fun and Challenging!
Friends
Decided to do an escape room with a group of friends and decided on The Escape Game in SF for it's location and cool looking rooms! The location is in SF's financial district and they have a lot of times available after work-- all the way until 11PM! My friends and I got off work and ate dinner in the area. Then we walked over to the Escape Game. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who instructed us to sign in. They let us use the bathrooms and had us wait in the waiting area. On the dot, we were guided into the escape room. Our guide, Eliana (sp?), explained what we could and couldn't do briefly and then left us to have our fun! It was a wonderful 1 hour! We escaped with a little over a minute to spare thanks to the clues! After we were dune, our guide came back to let us out and took pictures for us! In case you were waiting for your IG BFs to be ready, no #IGboyfriend needed because our guide took amazing pictures! We loved the game and the guide even gave us a preview of another room! I'll definitely be back!

Amazing!

Mu partner and I have done many escape rooms and the special ops escape room here was my favourite one that I have ever done. We had a good game master, the room set up was great, lots of attention to detail and fantastic story line. We even came back to do a second one and wanted to do the heist escape room. Due to an unfortunate technical difficulty, the room wasn't able to us anymore on the day but they offered us to play any other room instead without any big delay in time. We played the prison escape and that one was really good too!
Overall, I'd come back here anytime and play all there other rooms too.

Ages 12-49 had a blast together
Family
Really fun for all ages together. Tweens, early 20's and grumpy old Gen X'ers. Everybody contributed something different. Great lesson in diverse and group thinking for my kids and I didn't even see that lesson coming! (They brought it up, not me!). We had a lot of fun and managed to escape in time. Great to have a full team since we had to divide and conquer to beat the clock or sometimes coordinate ourselves to figure out a clue. The room's theme and set design was really impressive. I was lost in the story we were trying to solve. Great fun. Worth it. Look for their gift certificate deals for more than 5 deals. Could have saved myself $42 if I looked for that, since we bought out all 8 spots in the room anyway.

Super fun!

Went there to celebrate my brothers birthday and 4 of us did the prison break room. It was my second time there. Ive done special ops too. Both had really cool puzzles.

I highly recommend. Jason was the moderator for us. we requested clues to be given only when we ask & he gave us the perfect clues. Thanks Jason!

Amazing customer service, GREAT rooms!
Family
Our family loves escape rooms so we couldn't turn this one down when we visited SF. The 2 rooms we did were fantastic, each in there own way. The clues were challenging but flowed well. On the first room, we did have a couple of girls join us, which we have never had before. It was still fun but one of the girls pretty obviously took over and got a bit uptight. The staff noticed this and made it right. We were quite impressed on every level. Don't hesitate to book here.

Best Escape Room Experience Ever
Friends
My wife and I completed an escape room in Monterey, CA which was fun. However, it does not compare to the detailed experience with San Francisco's version. In SF, you have multiple rooms to choose from. We went with "the Heist" and barely made it out on time. The clues were interactive, challenging, but most importantly well thought-out. We are definitely going back to complete the other rooms. Highly recommend!

Would definitely come back!
Family
This was such a fun and team building experience. Our game master was such a delight we wish she could joined us. Each room had so much detail and intrigue that we honestly wanted to do every single room. Can’t wait to visit this place again next time I am in town.
