• Escape game: Wizard Trials

  6 of us did the Wizard room challenge which was not easy but we made it through the three rooms in 56 minutes The place is a little worn but clean and the guide was helpful It can take him awhile to respond to the hint call This was my first experience so I cannot compare to others but I will do it again Fun engaging group activity and a great way to spend an hour before dinner The parking is awful Go to garage on 16th and Hoff

• Escape game: Wizard Trials

  I enjoyed the immersive quality of the room and how the decorations added to it, and my friend said they enjoyed it more than other escape rooms from different companies.
  
  Some symbols need to be repainted, but we still solved it easily enough.
  
  The music that played when you won helped award your group a sense of accomplishment!

• Escape game: Spy Game

  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.

• Escape game: The Show Must Go On

  Awesome place! My husband and I started with The Show Must Go On; it seriously felt like we had just walked backstage in an actual theatre when we entered the room (and I'm a stage manager IRL). It was a blast! The four rooms' storylines are all interconnected, which is a fantastic element; we're definitely looking forward to going back and doing the rest! Plus the owner, Brian, is SUPER nice.

• Escape game: Special Inquiry

  Came here on a whim. Never did an escape room before. This place was a little tricky to find. It's upstairs of the building so head inside.
  
  Before we go into the room, we watch a screen with rules and the backstory of the escape room. Then we get a walker talkie in case they need to talk us or if we want to ask for a hint. There are cameras in the rooms for them to watch to make sure you follow the rules. We might have been reminded about some rules....
  
  We did the special inquiry escape room. Since it was the first I've ever been to it took a little bit to figure out what needed to be done in there. It was pretty fun and it did get a little creepy. We didn't make it out... but it has inspired us to try another escape room.

• Escape game: A Wrinkle of Wormhole

  I went there for my friend's birthday party. It was so fun. We played the Wrinkle of Wormhole. and get out of there in the last minutes. I played a few escape rooms in the bay area. So far this is the most challenging one. The room was dark and we have to interact in several different rooms at the same time. I love the story that a prodigy created the time machine and the last part was awesome. Unfortunately we cannot take a photo in there but it was so pretty. Base on the other reviews the other rooms are not that good but I'll definitely give a try.
