Joe, was a fabulous game host. You can tell he is super passionate about what he does. He was able to give us good hints to get us forward and finish the game. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!

One of my coworkers put this together as a way to bring a few of us together, and it was the perfect choice. The experience starts with each team picking a name and everyone choosing a fun nickname for themselves on a nametag, which already set the tone for a lighthearted evening. Our game show host, Rosie, and producer, Andreas, were amazing they kept the energy up, explained everything clearly, and made sure everyone was engaged the whole time. We played three different game show style games against another team (who were strangers, but that actually made it even more fun). The games were like classics you'd know think Wheel of Fortune or The Price Is Right but with clever twists and a points system that kept things competitive and exciting. Overall, it was such a unique and entertaining experience. The price was good and we had lots of laughs. I'd definitely recommend it for parties, team-building, or just a night out with friends.

Super fun. Easy to book and we appreciated the explanation at the beginning about the rules and what to do/not to do. I love trying escape rooms in different locations or cities and what I really liked about this one was that it was private towards your group. I always see the escape rooms where it's open to the public and can mix strangers if there's spots open left for that room however if you want the entire room for only your party, you'd have to pay for each spot which i did not like. So I really liked how this place does not do that!!! I would love to come back and try all the other rooms!!

But she was kind enough to let us finish the room with her guidance!! My kid was absolutely thrilled!!! I would definitely suggest not doing this room if you are a newbie. this one is definitely for skilled escape artists lol. But they have plenty of rooms to choose from. This is fun for all ages and they have something for every skill level. I will definitely be back!! But this time I might bring t more skilled friends lol

I had my reservations about this place, having seen it while shopping at the Galleria on numerous…read moreoccasions. It seems like part of this recent trend of what I consider "corporate escape rooms." From the storefront, it looks like the rooms have pretty high production value. However, I've come to realize that more money dumped into visuals doesn't always mean more difficulty, creativity, or just overall fun. Nonetheless, I was quite surprised by the room my group decided to tackle, called The Heist. In an effort not to spoil the puzzles for anyone reading this review, the main things I want to point out are (1) the puzzles felt really organic and there were times where I felt like was really part of a heist, (2) there were several puzzles that really rode on the edge of what I would consider natural limitations, and (3) all of the puzzles worked the way they were supposed to, and some a bit overly precise. I'll always appreciate precision, regardless of how much it pisses me off in a room, though. My group and I have already booked our next challenge here, and are excited to see what else they have to offer. Highly recommend getting a large enough group together to fill all the spots, since they do allow other people to fill in to reach capacity, unless you're into meeting new people like that. To each their own!

Best Fun With Your Pants On! (And A Mask, Cause Covid n' Sh*t)…read more SITREP Adorable friends Bambi and Kristen were PISSED cause their more formal Bday Dinner parties were being pushed down cause of covid and friends' concerns. Enter "Escape Folsom" who provided a more engaging social interaction for those of us willing to take the risk with the Spirit & Heat of the 1800s 49ers Miners and Saloons! THE SETUP The whole idea of escape rooms is to put together a small group of people - ideally about eight (8)? - and give us some basic cryptic instructions on how we escape a room / wing of a building / structure. Some of these clues were MORE than cryptic. We were thrown into what looked like a bar from the 1890s in Old Sacramento. Old Register. Old timey phone. Old bar tops and stools. And yet some more modern items like a cigarette machine and a jukebox from the 60s. * Any string of numbers we saw could be a clue, such as the numbers we spotted on the telephone and the jukebox; * Any weird box with a number lock hold a clue if we could just unlock the lock; * And repeating songs we heard containing digits could hold the answer too. It took a some time trying to figure out what numbers went to which locks, and which items needed to be unlocked in sequence with reference to the other items. Yada Yada Yada, we DID IT! With 8 minutes of our hour left! THE BAR Escape Folsom's bar is legit. Post up. Grab a drink while you wait for the rest of your crew to show up. Or even host a quick birthday - like we did - for our friends Bambi and Kristen when we finally finished our escape - in their comfy bar nooks and rooms. GOOD TIMES. THE LOWDOWN Escape rooms are a fun way to engage each other with some energetic conversations and some *highbrow* puzzle solving! Escape Folsom is a great diversion on a hot day!

Everyone was really happy and enjoyed their food. Will definitely be coming back for more food, fun, and trivia!

I've visited Old Sacramento many times over the last 7 years, and have done many escape rooms…read more Little did I know that there was such a facility right under my nose. It has an inconspicuous entrance and a very minimalistic lobby. I'm not sure if it is on purpose, but I wish there was a bit more thought put into the areas leading up to the rooms. I usually use the production value of the front to predict the quality of the rooms when I visit an escape room facility for the first time. The gamemaster was very nice and did an amazing job with the intro monologue before we started. It was so much longer than I've experienced in the past, and the fact that he did it all off memory was impressive. Without revealing too much of what's in the room itself, I'll say that I wish there were more puzzles to solve. I caught myself standing around on multiple occasions, and I usually don't have that problem. Nonetheless, the tech behind some of the props and puzzles was cool, and I was absolutely vibing with some of the music. We were able to escape with several clues (thank goodness we used clues) and got a good triple Valentine's Day date pic out of it. Currently in another escape room phase, so down to visit again to try escaping something else.
