    I rarely leave reviews, but this one deserves it. I did Zoe v1 years ago and it was one of the escape rooms that originally got me hooked on the hobby. Coming back for the updated version, I honestly didn't expect it to top the first one -- but it absolutely did. The new ownership has taken everything that worked and elevated it, and the holiday Kruppes theme added such a unique twist without losing the spirit of the original. The set design, immersion, and overall tension are on a whole new level. Shoutout to Emily and Bree for making our experience incredible -- their energy and commitment made a huge difference. Already planning to come back in February for the Valentine's variant. If you're on the fence, just go. It's worth it.

    The language on escaperoomera.com indicating refunds requested before their 24 hour window
    David T.

    We booked an escape room with Escapade Games on July 2, 2025, spending $504 for six people plus a video of the experience. The website used to book (escaperoomera.com) clearly stated refunds were available if canceled more than 24 hours in advance. Our group canceled within that timeframe. I emailed the address listed on the invoice, zoe@escaperoomera.com, and asked for a refund, which they refused. They claimed the website was "old" and not connected to them, even though their own invoice directly referenced it. Both escaperoomera.com and escapadegames.us used the same Resova booking link. Their Yelp page listed escaperoomera.com, and their Instagram contact button still links to that same email. We provided proof, but they still denied the refund. Their "no refund" policy only appeared after the booking was complete. This matters because California Civil Code 1723 requires businesses to disclose refund restrictions in a conspicuous place before purchase. We initiated a chargeback and won. We thought that was the end of it, but Escapade Games then charged our card again without authorization twice, on July 26 and August 5, 2025. We had to dispute each charge with our bank, and eventually had to replace our cards entirely just to stop them. Since then, the company has updated its links and checkout flow to remove references to escaperoomera.com and prominently display its "no refund" policy. While that may help future customers, the fact that these changes were only made afterward acknowledges that their earlier practices were misleading. As you can see below, we've kept screenshots, invoices, and correspondence as evidence. If I could give zero stars, I would.

    A great escape room. We went during the Halloween season and did the Zoe: Reborn. There were 2 versions they offered. One with less scary or more scary. We chose the more scary. I forgot what they called it. FYI: you will get tased with a taser, grabbed, and touched. Nothing they do is harmful that causes injury, but you have to sign a consent form. They give your rules and guidelines before the game so it makes you feel aware and they said nothing they do will actually harm. It was super fun. It is scary cuz there are people tazing and chasing you. Overall, highly recommend.

    Tazers penetrate the skin

    My teenage son went with his friends and they had a terrible experience. The actors were very physically abusive and malicious leaving scars from handcuffs and tazers (pics). Would not recommend for kids!

    We had a blast! Ethan (hope I spelled it write) was amazing. The production was incredible. My family really enjoyed themselves. Can't wait to come back!

    Zoe Reborn
    Flo R.

    Sequel to Zoe and new location. We raved about Zoe as our fave horror escape room so when we heard there's a sequel, we got excited. Came for a bachelor party with a party of 11 . No spoilers but we had too much fun. Best game master was Winston and best actor was Ryan. Definitely recommend even if you never did the first escape room.

    Screamboat room
    Jason G.

    My parents, partner, and I are all avid escape room enjoyers, and we stumbled upon Escapade while looking for something to do the night before my birthday. We were blown away by the Pinocchio room; Ross somehow managed to juggle being the GM, Jiminy, and Gepetto at the same time, and aced every role! I have done dozens of rooms and this was easily one of the most interactive and unique. We had such a fun time that we decided to book a second room, Screamboat, the next day. Though there were a few glitches with certain gags or puzzles, our GM Giselle kept things flowing well and we had a lot of fun. Staff told us that this room is soon to be remastered with new puzzles to work out some kinks. Overall we had a great time and would definitely play rooms here again!

    Ask the Community - Escapade Games

    Is this teen friendly?

    It depends on the teen if they are open to scary horror events. We do not have an age requirement for this room, but we recommend 13 and up.

    When will you release time slots for the experiment for Saturday, 7/30/22?

    Our Last Experiment game will be available soon, stay updated with our site and instagram page! Check next week.

    Is vaccination required?

    No it is not

    Hello! I booked an escape room for Zoe today at 5 but I accidentally booked it for one person instead of 6 people! I was wondering if when I get there I could extend it for 5 more people? I'll pay in full! Please let me know!

    This happened to me and they were flexible about this😊

    Can I purchase inside?

    Yes it is possible however w can't guarantee that you will be able to play immediately. Because it is appointment based the easiest option is to either book online or call to book. Thank you!

    Do we need to bring ID?

    We never had to show ID! They just ask you to sign a waiver!

    Would a 15 year old be allowed to play Zoe if there is an 18 year old with them?

    Hello, yes that is possible! The liability waiver must be signed by everyone attending.

    Are there any new games at this location? We loved Zoe and want to do another one. Any other escape room suggestions? We've done all the Fox in the Box rooms too.

    I do not know if there are any new games..It was our first and only. Have fun though..… 

    What's the age limit?

    You must be at least 16 years old to play "Zoe".

    I've done the Basement. Is it just as scary or worse?

    Zoe is absolutely scary. And it is amazing. A high number of attendees quit mid-game, but I promise the intensity is a huge part of the fun. This is a must do life experience, I promise.… 

    Does this room involve touching? Some of our group members are OK with horror but the touching is too much for them.

    Yes. It is terrifying. Be warned.

    Do they make you show a form of ID before you enter the game? everyone in my group is atleast 17, but not all of us have a permit or drivers license to show it. would another form of proof be sufficient?

    No. Just fill out waivers and release forms and answer a few questions on a form.

    When's your next room gonna open? I love Zoe. I am recommending all my friends to go. It was great. Please keep up the great work

    I felt the elements section of the game (with the little notes) was a little vague.... we were super stuck there lol. We didn't get to experience the last challenge (solo to Zoe) and that was a disappointment. I seriously don't remember how we got…

    This was our 3rd room with The Escape Game in the past 2 months, so clearly we've been hooked!…read more Tonight, we did The Heist at this location, and our game master, Will, was amazing! We've also done Cosmic Crisis and The Depths, and out of the three, The Heist was probably the most challenging. It definitely required a lot of thinking, and there were a few moments where we felt completely stumped and needed a little help. That said, the puzzles were still logical and satisfying to solve. The theme and storyline were also really unique, and I loved how consistently the theme carried throughout every part of the game. We ended up finishing with about 20 minutes to spare! One thing I really appreciate about The Escape Game is that the rooms are challenging without feeling impossible or far-fetched. We've done escape rooms at other places where the puzzles were difficult simply because the solutions felt like such a reach that they barely made sense. Here, everything feels much more intentional. You may not necessarily need clues, but it's nice knowing that unlimited help is available if you do get stuck. I also love that the rooms aren't horror or fear based, overly suspenseful, or chaotic. But they are just fun and immersive with worth the challenge you're paying for. And a huge thank you to Will! You were so kind, welcoming, and had such great energy from the very beginning. That energy definitely carried with us throughout the game and made the experience even better. We had such a great time! Also because it was my bday, they wrote me a bday card which was soo sweet! Can't wait to try the rest of the games

BIG shoutout to will for being such an awesome game master and for being such a genuine, kind soul. lily and leslie were super sweet as well and made our experience so enjoyable. alright, lets start with timeliner. the concept of time traveling and all the small mechanisms was so cool. fun fact, timeliner is the test room for the tech in cosmic crisis! my friends and i have done a good amount of escape rooms 20+ and timeliner is one we got through pretty quick. its a good room if you want to be wowed by the small details. heist is a more hands-on room compared to the timeliner. this room is one where you yourself have to solve the puzzles rather than the technology solving it for you. it catches you off guard and surprises you with all its mechanisms. highly recommend both rooms to anyone looking for a chill escape room experience.

    I consider myself something of an escape room aficionado. I LOVE escape rooms and have done enough…read moreof them to know when a place has really nailed the experience. Cross Roads Escape Games absolutely has. We did The Weeping Witch for a 13-year-old birthday party with three teenagers and four adults, and even though we DID NOT ESCAPE, this was easily one of the best, if not the best, escape room experiences I've had. First, The Weeping Witch itself is phenomenal. The concept, atmosphere, puzzles, and overall execution were incredibly well done. This isn't just a room with a collection of locks and clues thrown together. It feels like an actual experience. The thought and creativity that went into the game are obvious, and as someone who genuinely loves escape rooms, I was seriously impressed. But what really pushed Cross Roads over the top was the entire experience outside of the room. We were there for a birthday party, and the waiting/party area actually has a mini escape room in it. The kids are 13 and 14, so not exactly little kids who are easily entertained, and they immediately got into it, solved it, and earned stickers. It was such a fun and thoughtful touch. It made the time before our actual game feel like part of the experience instead of just waiting around. And then there was David, our Game Master. David was fantastic. He added so much to the experience and was exactly what you want in a great Game Master. Thank you, David, for taking such good care of our group and making an already fantastic experience even better. The biggest compliment I can give Cross Roads is this: we came here for a 13-year-old's birthday party, and I left thinking I would absolutely come back here for MY OWN birthday. I would host another birthday party here in a heartbeat. We didn't escape The Weeping Witch, so clearly we have unfinished business. Cross Roads, we'll be back. And David, you were awesome!

The 3-year-old loved it too, which says a lot. What also stood out was how much thought and effort clearly went into the room design and technology. Jeremy explained some of it to us afterward, and even though he described it as rudimentary, our minds were kind of blown. You can tell a lot of care went into creating an experience that feels immersive, playful, and actually doable for kids. It's such a good summertime or year-round activity because you get a full hour in an air-conditioned space, off your phones, doing something interactive together. If you're looking for a family-friendly, kid-friendly group activity for around 3 to 7 or 8 people, this is such a good one. The concept is also just really cute and fun. You get to pretend to be cats in a litter box/play area, unleash your inner child, and think outside the box a little. Would absolutely recommend for families.
