Latest reviews of challenging escape rooms in San Francisco
The puzzles in this room were neither creative nor rewarding, and they required no skill. There was a point where we had to play glorified flappy bird. Why would I pay to play glorified flappy bird? I wouldn't if I had known better.
I would have rated this even lower if it weren't for the very nice, but overworked staff

This was my first escape room. I had an absolute blast. The puzzles were fun, varied, and some were quite tough! Our Game Master was super friendly, even letting us go back into the room afterwards to talk about the design a bit more, and catch up on puzzles we'd missed (since we divided & conquered our way through most). Loved the setting and theme -- and learned a bit about some historical figures along the way.

SO MUCH FUN! This was our first escape experience! We did The Study on a Saturday at the 7:30pm time. We booked that morning, and didn't have anyone else in the room with us (I'm sure that won't last for long!).
When we came in, we signed a waiver and were told some more about the escape rooms. You can ALWAYS leave the room, use the restroom, etc. The hour long timer won't stop, but you can get out (for all you claustrophobes out there!).
The young man who walked us in and told us the backstory of our room was awesome! He was excited and really got us into the story. He told us that the moderator will give hints at their discretion (which we ended up needing - a lot!). If we were close, they probably wouldn't give us hints. If we were way off, they would help us out. We never asked for help, but you can.
Trying not to give anything away about the room, we weren't sure we could go any further at one point. That we'd be breaking the rules by doing something. The moderator and guy who greeted us came in and explained that we COULD have done what we skipped, and they were kind enough to give us another five minutes. We still couldn't solve the room, but we had a darn good time trying.
I can't wait to go back to try the other three rooms!
PARKING - street parking, free after a certain time. We found easy parking down one block and across the street.

Our team did the Paranormal Room! Our host was Elizabeth and she was an excellent guide! I have never participated in a group like this. It was challenging, engaging and fun and zap times scary!!!! I would recommend this Room for others to try. Builds teamwork in a fun way!!!
