    5 of us came here for the "Conspiracy of Silicon Valley" game on Sunday. We all had some experience with escape rooms, but not a lot. The last one I did was before Covid. We parked at the Market & San Pedro Square Parking Garage, which was free for the first 90 mins, and then $1 for each additional 15 mins, up to $10 for weekends or after 6pm. Breakout Studios was only a 4-min walk from the parking garage and was pretty easy to find. A security guard opened the door of the building for us. Then, we walked up the stairs to their entrance on the 2nd floor. Their lobby/waiting area was spacious and elaborately decorated with a cool mysterious vibe. They also had some props on the coffee tables for taking pictures. Since we already signed the wavier online, we had plenty of time to take pictures and chat among ourselves until their staff showed up. It turned out that they only had 1 staff member on duty at the time. We felt sorry for her running around and doing everything herself. Our game didn't start on time because of that as well. It wasn't a big deal since we're not in a hurry. Also, she did a really good job getting into character during the intro video portion. Unfortunately, she forgot to give us the walkie talkie, and another staff member finally gave it to us more than half way through our game. We're impressed that they're able to squeeze in so many puzzles in such a small space. Some puzzles were more challenging than others, but they're all very well thought out and tied to the theme. Both the intro video and the video towards the end had a high tech feel. We successfully escaped with a couple of hints! The medium difficulty rating was accurate, and was the right level for us. We all had a great time. They led us back to the waiting area for a group picture afterwards. However, we didn't receive the picture at first and had to contact them the day after to resend it. Since we had to "divide and conquer" during part of the game, we had fun discussing how each other solved the puzzles they're responsible for after the game as well. Breakout Studios was definitely one of the better escape rooms I had been to. I hope that they're better staffed next time we're here.

    We had an amazing experience at Breakout Studio! I went with a group of 8 neighbors, and I booked same-day. Shoutout to them for accommodating us on such short notice. We did the Father of Silicon Valley room and our game master went above and beyond to make it fun and engaging. The room itself was awesome. Challenging enough for seasoned escape room enthusiasts but still beginner-friendly, so everyone in our group had a blast. We were able to escape with minutes to spare! The lobby is super cool and really sets the vibe. The only minor downsides: the studio is on the second floor with no elevator, which was a bit tough for me as I'm recovering from knee surgery, and the building has a bit of an old smell. But once you step inside Breakout Studio, it's totally worth it. Can't wait to come back and try another room!

    I highly recommend Breakout Studios! Such a fun experience, my team and I were only 4 mins away from beating record time. Ahh have to try some of their other rooms next time!

    The amazing friends and staff

    We had a great time with everybody. Would recommend for everyone who wants to have a fun adventure.

    Had a great time at Breakout Studios! My friends and I havent done an escape room in a few months so this one was our first one back in a while. I was super excited to try out this room considering we have read some great reviews about this place. My friends and I did Hacker of Silicon Valley. As a group who has done 10-15~ rooms together, we were looking forward to what this room had to offer. Upon entering the lobby, we were amazed with the setting, props, and overall atmosphere. It got us really excited for what the room had to offer. There is a little "pre-escape" section that I dont want to spoil, but it was really fun and made it more immersive and interactive. When it came to the actual room itself, I would not say our expectations were exceeded or anything. The decor of the room definitely made me feel like I was a hacker though, but the puzzles and overall gameplay seemed to fall short. I think for what it is, the room was pretty good and made sense to the plot, however there were some things that put us off. There were minor technical difficulties, troubles in puzzles not triggering anything, as well as puzzles that "threw us off" but it made no sense to the story. I wont let this one experience hinder my whole review because there are 3 other rooms (i think) left to try, and I definitely still would be interested in trying them! However, this is just my rating of this specific room and experience. Staff was great, no problem there. They gave us an extra few minutes at the end when we got held up on the last puzzle :D

    Where should customers park?

    Sundays street parking is free. After 6pm, the meters outside the building are free. Otherwise there's meter parking before 6pm that offer two hours…

Dad booked an experience for the family and we were pleasantly surprised with our entire experience! We were transported to what felt like a hot game show set. There were over 18 games to choose from and all of the ones we got were all perfect for all ages of our family. It felt like a mix of price is right, big brother competitions, and the most insane game shows, I grew up watching! By the end of our game show the whole family was engaged and smiling ear to ear! What a wholesome time. A totally different way to experience "family game night" Definitely worth a go with your family or friends... this is not just a once in a lifetime experience, we're already thinking about when we're going back and who we'd bring with us! The most surprising part of this experience, is that our host Colby sent us a 45 second highlight reel of our time spent! What?! The perfect souvenir of our wonderful afternoon!

But my main thing is I think they need to do a much better job if you do a kids vs parents game, or warn against it (they said it would be fine). I ended up fighting the other parents to throw the match! I would recommend doing two teams of the same level, because overall the experience was cool, but the kids vs parents things was good for the kids, not as much for the adults. And it was kinda pricy for the whole party.

Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of Los Altos Hills, the setting itself already makes you feel relaxed and focused while enjoying some sunshine. What truly stood out to me was how warm and attentive the coaches were. From the moment I arrived, they made sure I felt comfortable, guided me patiently through the basics, and offered thoughtful tips that actually helped improve my form. One of the Coaches was so funny , I enjoyed my interaction while hitting the bull's eye. It didn't feel rushed or transactional at all-instead, it felt like they genuinely cared about making the experience enjoyable and meaningful. One small but incredibly kind gesture that really stuck with me was that they let me continue practicing for a few extra minutes beyond my session. That level of thoughtfulness and flexibility made the whole experience feel even more special. Whether you're a complete beginner or just looking to try something new, I'd highly recommend this place. It's not just about archery-it's about the experience, the people, and the positive energy they create. I'm definitely looking forward to going back!

The staff member told me that would be fine as long as we completed the waivers in advance, which we did. We arrived within those 5 minutes, but she was busy with another customer, so we waited a few minutes for her to acknowledge us. Instead of checking us in, she stalled briefly and then told us we had missed the grace period and could not be checked in. This was extremely frustrating because we were physically there within the grace period. I even have map timeline data showing our exact arrival time. Had they not been short-staffed or delayed in assisting us, we would have made it onto the tour without any issue. To make matters worse, we were told that a manager would follow up the next day to reschedule us. That never happened. No call, no email, nothing. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience driven entirely by poor communication and lack of accountability. I would not recommend booking here based on how they handle customers when issues arise.
