A room escape game is like a computer game, but everything is real. Everything has meaning. You find clues and solve puzzles to discover the room’s secrets and escape.

Each game has a goal: you may have to return a lost relic, escape from Alcatraz, or beat a mafia ­clan. You need to figure out where to begin, sort out the logic of the puzzles and clues, find the right items, use them correctly, and all within the time limit of one hour.

• Top-rated private escape games, so you don’t play with strangers.
• Over 8,500 corporate bookings since 2014.
• All of our games are multi-room environments, without padlocks and paper puzzles.
• Best Price per Player in San Francisco

Maybe you tried playing other real-life room escape games, but we built something more intense, with a heavy focus on design and setting to immerse you into the story and a lot of behind the scenes high-tech tricks to make some “magic” happen.

We take the matter of safety very seriously. All of the equipment is low voltage, all of the cabinets are bolted down, and all of the games have an ‘emergency exit’ button on the exit door.

Due to the nature of the room escape games, no recordings can be taken inside the game rooms. That includes (without limitation) the use of mobile phones, recording devices (video and/or audio) and cameras. The use of such a device in the room is not permitted at any time. We expect visitors not to disclose any details of the game directly or indirectly to the public.

Let’s not spoil the game for other guests.
