    Brain Games Escape Room

    Wonderful experience! Shoutout to both Sadie and Daniel. Room was so fun, finished in a group of 2, the room’s set design and puzzles are already very well done, but there are quirks to this room that make it extra unique! I love how it does not take itself too seriously and I would most definitely recommend this room to anyone. Had a good yap with the GM after and it’s clear that the staff is passionate which is also slay

    I think the room is fine and I enjoyed the puzzles. I’m reluctantly giving a negative rating due to 1. Technical difficulties and 2. Negative Energy from the gamemaster(s) When I did my first ever escape room, what made my experience extra special was how welcoming, warm, and helpful the GM was to me and my group, and it was actually at Omescape. And having been a gamemaster myself, I always prioritized that an escape room would be fun for my groups and I feel that it takes a lot to feel uninviting. Today, there was a big part of me that did not feel welcome from how the staff interacted with me and my group. The energy wasn’t great and maybe the GM had a bad day. I asked multiple times for the GM to nudge us if we were falling behind, but they didn’t do it until the last 5 minutes and it would feel like we were pulling teeth every time we were trying to ask for hints. Second, I could recall at least 2 technical difficulties that weren’t game breaking, but could have been easily solved if 1. The GM was present and helped us, or 2. the door/lock was tested/designed more intuitively. I think my group lost around 10-15 minutes and if it was resolved at the time, we wouldn’t have went over the time and failed. Third, there was no way to see how much time was left and the GM would never bump or tell us how much time we had left. It’s more of a nitpick since we could ask ourselves but it ties into the GM not being really present with our group. Overall, I probably wont go to the San Jose location anymore, but I definitely will go to Sunnyvale. You can take this review with a grain of salt since my group failed, but I would like to think I would have the same feelings regardless if we won or not. The game itself is alright.

    W’s: - puzzles with right amount of difficulty and prioritization of enjoyment and experience (vague but idk how else to say lmao) - you wear something before going into the room which adds to the immersion and its super cute - very sweet and w gm senka - cool and interesting premise for escape room theme Nitpick (1): - one puzzle could’ve been reset better Overall would recommend!

    I’d say it was pretty fun, though I had higher expectations in its production value which undermine much of the immersion, though for the price I think it was chill.

    The room seemed great! And definitely take my review w a grain of salt since i was LATE and FAILED so its on me but it really felt like my gamemaster didnt really care about my groups experience and it undermined the experience a lot and i feel like it could’ve been better

    Really great production value, also appreciate the GM for being patient with my group. The atmosphere is super cute and the the way the progression of the game is structured is so creative. A definite recommendation for first timers to veterans. I always love and appreciate escape rooms with novel ways of giving hints, and I especially loved this one! I only have time for one room at my time at boston and I am super glad I chose this one :)
