漆黒の悟り [Shadow Zen]Studio Escape Daikoku-choEscape roomIRLSuper awesome for English-speakers! The owners speak fluent English. Really cool pieces that I haven’t seen in my 100 escape rooms experience! Completely understand why this place has so many great reviews!
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRL- Played with 2, but requires to pay for 4 slots. We were on fire in the first half, but started to get burnt out. - Every time you think you’re done, it keeps on going…. I’d recommend 4 people to avoid burn out. - Great tech, great puzzles, great design. Omescape never disappoints!
女王と国のために [For Queen & Country]Studio Escape NipponbashiEscape roomIRLWorks just fine for English speakers! Amazing effects that blew my mind!
The Edison Escape RoomPalace GamesEscape roomIRL- Had set up errors. Provides you paper and pencils, but our papers had answers from the previous team. So we had answers but just didn’t know what it applied to yet. - Puzzles that make you think outside of the box. As experienced players (100+ games), we were very confused. We had like 5 in our group and they solved most of it with their little experience. - Physically impossible with 2. It’s good to bring lots of people because sometimes you just need a different perspective. - Personally did not blow my mind, but refreshing to see new types of puzzles. Cool tech aspects.
Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRL- a puzzle within a puzzle. After solving one puzzle, it would have a requirement to apply it elsewhere. Putting items in the correct spot wasn’t enough. - one puzzle there has multiple parts/doors to it. - must’ve used at least 40 clues for our party of 2. - be extra vigilant and observe everything first, before trying to solve any puzzles. - the owners are super cool and very accommodating.
13th BasementExit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRL- They let us have a sneak peak of the room before booking, to see if it was tolerable for a scaredy cat like me. - Prices are super affordable, room is easily doable with 2 experienced people, the set design is outstanding, and the owners are the best. - 2/10 scary. If you lock in to your game, you’ll forget to be scared.
Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)The Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLOUTSTANDING. TOP 5 BEST I’VE DONE. Lots of walking back and forth to accomplish puzzles but it’s a short walk. I personally wouldn’t recommend the Escobar: Part 2.

Motel MollyOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLI post this review to help those that are scaredy cats like me! - scarier than I expected - includes live actor - we had 6 total guests. 2 would’ve been impossible. - more of an experience, than an escape room with puzzles.
