Escape game The Alchemist

Reviews of escape game "The Alchemist"

• I've played Ex Machina and their new game The Society. Both were fun! Game master Theo was friendly and explained rules and game story thoroughly. Game themselves had good design, non-standard puzzles and solid support throughout the game. Lobby has some board games so you won't get bored while waiting.
  
  Nice place! Will come back for more :)

• This place is awesome! I played 2 of their 4 games, Ex Machina and their newest game the society. Both had super immersive set design, creative stories and cool techy puzzles. There aren't a lot of escape room options in the east bay, so I'm super glad this place opened!

• Fantastic fun and more to come! We will return as soon as possible to do the other rooms.
  
  Room: Ex Machina
  
  Overall: Wonderful, friendly, and open customer service, Intriguing premise and unique "in world" tech and appropriately "authentic" props for immersion. Not too linear but becomes more linear as you near the finale. Enjoyable, relatively non-complicated tech and puzzles. The puzzles are strong and logical but certainly not too easy. No tedious task "puzzles" that can waste time.
  
  Outcome: We didn't make it but came close by being in the home stretch of the last set of challenges
  
  Time: Visited during soft opening several weeks ago; owner was extremely open and honest with us about the additional challenges that this may entail but it did not take away from the wonderful experience in the least. Should only get even better and better.
  
  Team: 4 - 2 adults and 2 teens - we've done 6 escapes rooms previously
  
  Difficulty: This was a challenging room for us but not impossible; This would be very challenging to first timers.
