Chapter 1: Occam's ApartmentOff The Couch GamesEscape roomIRLProbably the most immersive, high tech escape room in the Bay Area! There were so many puzzles we haven't seen before, and the way each puzzle is integrated into the story (and the vibe of the room) is fantastic. We didn't escape in time (we had 1 puzzle left), but the unique thing is that they'll save your progress so you can pick up right where you left off! Massive props to the OTC team, the whole experience was worth the trip. We will definitely be back to finish this off!
Black CatPlanet Escape RoomEscape roomIRLGreat atmosphere and automations. Puzzles were quite hard if I'm being honest, even for our group of seasoned players (maybe we were just overthinking everything though lol)
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - TorranceEscape roomIRLGreat set design and puzzles, but keep in mind this is a public room. 2 additional people joined our party of 6 at the last minute which degraded the quality of our experience. From the start, you are split into 2 different rooms and need to communicate with each other verbally to complete puzzles. If the strangers refuse to communicate it becomes quite frustrating.
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - TorranceEscape roomIRLProbably my favorite room from The Escape Game. Graphics and theming are spectacular. The puzzles were interactive and extremely creative.

Pandemic ZeroOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLRoom is harder than expected tbh! Some of the puzzles were more difficult than I thought it would be but overall this is a well put together room.
Dark AltarOmescape - San JoseEscape roomIRLThis room was just "okay." Atmosphere was a bit eerie, but nothing too spooky. The room felt a little small and could use some TLC though. Puzzles flowed well, but the last one was quite ridiculous.
Studio420EDscapade GamesEscape roomIRLThis room had great theming. All the props were creative and fit the theme of the room pretty well. The one major downside is that there are simply TOO many mechanical locks (like 15+). The puzzles had to be completed in order (and even then it wasn't clear which puzzle opened which lock), so I'm not sure if more players would even be helpful. Great GM though!
