A group of four of us (adults) did the 80s room (the most difficult level) at Quantum Escapes. It…read morewas okay, not the best escape room we've done. Two members of our group are well-versed in escape rooms and we required clues several times from our Game Master. While the room was well decorated to the theme, it was small and only had a smaller second room (more like a hallway). I'd say 6 adults in this room is the max, and even then you'd need to assign each person a section cuz there wouldn't be room for everyone to move around freely. I do have a few other complaints: - a couple clues and one solution was NOT from the 80s - we were able to skip solving a puzzle entirely and still escape. This means we were left with "extra" clues that we didn't need. Very confusing. -we felt one solution to a puzzle was not something most regular folks would figure out without a clue unless they had extensive knowledge of how escape room puzzles work -one clue apparatus was not fiddle-proof. Meaning one of our team fiddled with it and rendered it not working properly to dispense the clue. The game master had to come in and fix it for us Speaking of our Game Master, she was great! I wish I remembered her name. It was short, like 4 letters, with an "s" on the end. She gave us clues in a timely manner when we needed them, led us on the right track when it was obvious we were way off base, and explained the "leftover" puzzle.

There is a photo op with various props in the corner of the lobby as well as branded apparel for purchase. We were told that we had three free clues, and any more would cost us time (you can do social media for extra time). We attended wizard school, which is rated medium/hard (same as the other ones at this location in Livermore). Based on the theming, bringing a Harry Potter fan in your group is mandatory - it's filled with tons of references to the series which was pretty neat to see. The first room we were in was surprisingly huge and intricate, and was also the room in which a majority of the game takes place. We solved the first several puzzles relatively well after we took some time to take in everything. It felt immersive, like we had been transported to a magical room in an alternate universe opposed to just a room that was decorated. The puzzles utilized pattern recognition, literal interpretation, symbols and translation, listening to instructions, riddles, interaction with room elements, hidden object games, astrology, and more. We've been to a few different escape rooms, and consider our experience at Limitless Escape Games to be one of the hardest we've done. You can tell one person put a lot of thought, passion, and ideas in the puzzles, as they were quite detailed, clever, and cohesive - progressing through the puzzles aided to the storytelling. That being said, the structure seemed a bit linear in that we had to focus on one puzzle at a time and couldn't do much until something was resolved. Our party of two ended up failing out of wizard school pretty horribly, as we just spent too long on one of the puzzles and didn't want to take a clue out of stubbornness. The puzzle we were trying to solve was... lagging. As well, we asked for a hint but didn't get it for a couple minutes because they weren't paying attention. Our game master kindly showed us how to resolve the rest of the room, though, and made us feel better by letting us know that the escape rate is roughly 1/3. He also told us that their other locations feature more high-tech rooms, such as the ones in Pleasanton which we hope to try in the future! We were offered a discount for the rest of the day if we wanted to book future games, which was basically the same price as their Groupon. While disappointed at our failure, we did really enjoy the thoughtfulness of the theming and puzzles offered here which do differ drastically from escape room chains. I'd say this experience was a lot harder than the typical escape room, so I wouldn't recommend it for complete beginners; that being said, it's amazing if you want a challenge!

I do regret missing their photo op accessories in the corner, I meant to return to that area to get a group photo and totally forgot. IDEA: Perhaps they can move their photo op accessories toward the escape room exits for people to capture their photos there.

It is a true test of team building and communication. The facilitation at the start was great. It really spoke to what I wanted my staff and me to get out of it. And the debrief was on par as well.

I would totally use them again to facilitate for one of our student groups or even with other cross campus partners. Thank you!!

We opted for the party room after for an extra 30mins which was just enough time for the kids to settle down, eat, sing happy birthday and have cupcakes without feeling rushed. Tips: -A curtain separates the experience from the party room, so you can set up while the kids play (if you chose the extra 30mins) -There's a seating area not far from the location for parents to hang out. -There isn't a restroom, so you will need to use one of the many restrooms throughout the mall. -Currently the escalator by the store going down is out of service, so plan ahead.

All that's left is that each individual sign an online waiver before arriving. The waiver was thorough, easy to go through, and allowed for consent in sending a group photo afterwards. The day of the event, the host for our group went through all the rules and provided a couple of hints before getting started. The theme of our room was the Hunting Lodge. The room in itself wasn't very big, and definitely a squeeze for 8 people, which was the max. Walls were thin, but that didn't bother us too much. What would've made this a 5 star experience if the room had ventilation or if the AC was turned on, just to circulate the room as our group was literally sweating trying to solve the case. We called the host 3 times to get assistance. She was very friendly and provided great hints. Ultimately, we ran out of time and didn't escape.
