I did Escape Oakland's newest room, The Spy Game, today and it was very challenging but also quite fun. It's their toughest room, with an 8-10% escape rate. (There seems to have been some misinformation on here stemming from another reviewer's description of the room difficulties based on their subjective opinion, but the website posts the % escape rates for each room.)

I'd recommend The Spy Game for groups of experienced escape roomers. If your team has first-timers, you might want to consider one of their easier rooms instead. I think first-timers might feel a little frustrated by this one. It's not the flashiest room, but there are a ton of puzzles to chew on and lot of variety in types of puzzles. I think this is a great room to try if you're someone who is really in it for the puzzles and a good challenge. I'm not as into rooms that have Hollywood-movie-set-esque decorations but easy puzzles, so I'm glad I chose this one.

I was on the fence about giving them a 4 or a 5, but settled on 5 because they were patient with my team after we didn't escape the room in time. In addition to giving us like 10 minutes extra, they were nice about one of the guys who kept trying to continue to solve stuff when they were explaining the clues to us, etc.

My general feeling is that even though they are relatively new and don't have the super fancy bells and whistles of some of the larger and more established escape room companies, they seem dedicated to trying to make solid puzzles/rooms. I think they'll continue to improve their rooms and the experience overall.

Had a great time at Escape Oakland! If you're looking for a fun and unusual experience in the Bay area, this is the place the check out. The room was challenging but very interesting, and got our creative juices flowing as a team! Owners were warm and friendly (and helped us when we needed some clues ). Highly recommend!

What an adventure! We had a blast, and I can't wait to go back! "The Bunker" was full of surprises, and it was perfect for our group of friends. We were able to escape from the room with a few clues.

The location is perfect with a lot of street parking and walking distance to the bart station.

The host was awesome! She explained all rules to us as for some of us it was first escape room. Thanks a lot!!!
