The rooms are well thought out and there's a lot of fun puzzles. Also our game master Chris was funny and amazing!

I've been to a bunch of escape rooms and don't think I've ever wrote a yelp review. This was my favorite one so far!! The room was so cool and the staff were really nice!! I liked how you get unlimited hints and the way the room was designed, it blew my mind. Def try the wizard room if you come! Went with a group of 4 and it was perfect. read more

Love Exit Strategy Games! This was our second time here! We did Noel's Nutty Christmas with game master Gigi! She was very enthusiastic and helpful when we needed some clues. We did Spy vs Spy with game master Michael before too. He is very funny and made everyone laugh dueing the game. So fun for friends and family. My kids, 6 and 9 years old, love escape rooms. We will definitely be back to do them all! read more

Just played the squirrel escape room! Good difficulty and we finished successfully. Recommend this one and it's not overly difficult for even beginners. Thanks to our gamemaster Chris!! read more

This escape room was by far the most fun I've ever experienced. Tony completely makes the experience and brings it to a whole different level. I've been to other escape rooms with great reviews, but this one truly stands out. Everything felt next-level and totally legit. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Amazing experience! We are now wizards after passing our exam. Haha. our game master Steve was helpful and kept us on track without spoiling the game. He remained in character the entire time so that was also super fun! Thanks Steve! For sure coming back to do other games. We went in a group of 2 and completed the puzzle with just a few hints. read more

Thank you Will and Kaylee (sorry if I misspelled your name) for the awesome Exist Strategy game Woodbury's Wizarding School! We enjoyed the humor and spontaneous attitude from Kaylee and the last helpful hints from Will. We were able to escape with only 2 minutes and 57 seconds and used 3 hints. I think that's an accomplishment for sure! XD read more

My group had so much fun!! We were glad that we could book a room the same day. We had one member who was a little late but Exit Strategy Games was still able to accommodate us. We did the Spy vs Spy room and had a blast. Everything was well designed and very engaging. It really made us think! Shout out to Gigi for being a wonderful host!! Can't wait to come back again and try to solve the other rooms. read more

Had a super fun time in the torture chamber for a double birthday celebration for my nephews. We beat it within the last few minutes of the game. Our game master was Michael. He is awesome and scared us quite a few times throughout the game, which added to the spookiness and fun. read more

We were wonderfully greeted by Tim as we arrived and kept us informed our room status as they had a bigger group in our room before we arrived. It was so kind of him to still keep us excited for our turn. Gigi and Celidah were our game masters for Woodbury''s Wizarding School. My hubby and I have went to a variety of escape rooms before and we were most excited and anticipating for this one. We truly didn't know what to expect. The first part felt a little bit difficult but once we fully got the hang of it, it was smooth rolling which we liked! Our game masters made the experience 100% better than any other one as they were interactive throughout the game versus only when we need help which was so much more fun! Game master like them would definitely keep us coming back! read more

We did all the rooms at this location. We were lucky enough to have Gigi for Hide and Squeak, Spy vs Spy, and Santas. Tony was awesome, letting us preview the Torture room, and being our GM. Credit to both Tony and Gigi for convincing us to do Pirates. We didn't really need any clues for any of the rooms, but Gigi and Tony's energies clearly show their passion for the escape room industry. I wish to give more credit for some of the other staff, since it was fun sharing escape room experiences with them all. Locationwise, these rooms I would rate 5-7 of 10 on difficulty, but is an awesome entry point for newbies and more experienced players to get into the hobby. I normally only review on Morty (escape room Yelp app,) but I feel I need to give credit to the staff. Thank you for the wonderful experience for me and my family, and Thank you especially for taking in a "young GM in training," since our young 11 year old daughter didn't want to do the torture chamber room. read more

We went today for the butchers torture chamber. The puzzles were fun and the teamwork involved kept things very interesting. I recommend checking this place out! read more

Horrible experience.... said no one. Chris killed being our host. From the literal minute we opened the door. We had a large party of 12 for spyvspy and he made every single one of us feel welcomed. From the storytelling making us all laugh to the fun jabs. 10/10 would come again. This place is a literal 5 star and that's for a reason! Looking forward to going back to the best place to be locked up! read more

We had so much fun in Pet Snatched we went on to do Krampus right after! George was great at explaining the rules to some in our group who had not done an escape room before. He also set us in the headspace with the story telling beforehand. Really innovative puzzles, themes, and activities! I highly recommend checking them out to spend a couple hours with friends, off your phones, and solving puzzles! read more

My fiancee and I have almost exhausted all the escape rooms in the Bay Area. So we decided to travel north for MLK weekend and check out Exit Strategy Games. We were pleasantly surprised by our experienced and ended up booking another game the same day! We picked this place because it was the last weekend of their limited Christmas theme (Grandma's Christmas Caper). We enjoyed it so much, we booked Woodbury Wizarding School (their newest higher tech room) right after! Honestly, we came in with pretty low expectations. The outside looks sketch AF, it looked like it used to be a 1980's construction office or something. I don't know. But the inside was much better, their restrooms had some pretty nifty funky artwork. What really WOW-ed us and was different from any other escape game we've done, was we had to break into the room before we can start the game! We had to break into grandma's room, and we had to cast the magical spell to enter the wizard's school. Grandma's room was really good design and use of the space. It really felt like we were at grandma's house! The puzzles were good, there was a wide variety of puzzles. We escaped, but we had to use one hint at the very end, so close! We really enjoyed Grandma's Christmas Caper a lot! We decided to book Woodbury Wizarding School right after. The wizard room is their newest room, and offers newer tech. With that being said, it cost a more too. Wizard's room had a lot of more tech and triggers. There was little to none combo locks and things you see in a regular escape room. It was cool, but wasn't too blown away by it. We've seen the same tech in Trivium Games or Omescape. The progression in the game is very linear. Which could be a good thing or bad thing, it depends on how you perceive it. All in all it was a pleasant surprised. The Christmas themed room was very enjoyable. I'm glad we were able to do it before they reverted back to Pet Snatched. We'll probably come back soon to do the last room Torture Chamber. Oh yeah, if you check in, you get a free bottle of water :) read more

Great experience! We did the Butcher room with a group of 12 and it was a super fun time. Our group had a lot of fun. Michael, our host, was awesome and super fun. His jokes are knee slappin' hilarious! read more

Our group tried Noel's Nutty Christmas escape last week and had a blast! I brought my kids along and it was their first time trying a legit escape room. They loved it! Our host Chris was amazing and definitely made the event more memorable. I told my kids beforehand that the hosts are usually very entertaining and Chris did not disappoint. I appreciated the different puzzles and challenges in the room as well as the Christmas theme and decorations overall. The company puts a good effort into the design of the rooms. We will definitely be back to try the wizardry school room. read more

I went here this past weekend with family. We did the wizard school entrance exam escape room (Woodbury?) Celidah was an excellent GM. She was very enthusiastic and helped set the mood/atmosphere from the start. We will definitely be coming back! read more

My friends and I decided to visit again, 3.5 years later, to try the new Woodbury's Wizarding School room. I'm glad to see that they have really improved since the last time we visited! The decor and triggers were very impressive and unexpected. I enjoyed that their puzzles are also sequential for this room, so all of us could work together, rather than working on different puzzles. With puzzles being sequential, I'd also recommend no more than 4 in your group, otherwise you may have folks standing around while puzzles are being solved. Our group of 4 completed the tasks with 8 minutes to spare and I really liked that there wasn't a timer in the room so I could fully enjoy it all! They offered a good amount of timely hints, which we loved, so we had apt opportunity to think, but didn't waste too much time being stuck. They have a locker for your group to store belongings, which I appreciated, and the bathrooms seemed quite clean. I liked that pictures were immediately sent to us via email; what a nice touch! The sign at their entrance about masks being optional made me a bit wary. I understand it's a private room so it's your group's choice when it comes to wearing masks, however our game master didn't have a mask on when she was providing intros, nor at the end when she came in to congratulate us and take pictures. We kept our masks on the entire time, only taking them off for 2 minutes for pictures at the end. This also makes me wonder if they sanitize rooms and all props between groups. It doesn't take away from my 5 star review, but I likely won't be visiting again until after the pandemic. read more

We had so much fun today with this escape room! The puzzles were challenging but super interactive. We did the Spy vs Spy room which I definitely recommend. It required communication and teamwork BUT you also can't trust anyone either because there's a spy! I loved how they allowed private booking so we were able to just have the room to ourselves and have some family bonding. I've done other escape rooms before and it just gets awkward when you get locked in a room with strangers. Tim was such a great game master - very funny and energetic. Shout out to HAILI the smart, sassy AI system who had the best commentary. We got a little souvenir from this game too which was nice. We'll definitely come back to try the Wizard one and maybe if I'm brave enough, the scary Christmas one! read more

This was so much fun!!! I have been to only 1 escape room once before. It was a 30 minute drive away, and parking was difficult. That didn't impact my judgement of the place and I still rated it as a 5 star experience. This is also a 5 star experience as well. Upon entering the escape room we are given a locker to put our stuff into. We are given a story and have to solve the mystery. So as with all escape rooms, it requires thinking outside the box and cooperative problem solving. We had a lot of fun solving the puzzles, and all of the puzzles felt related to the storyline. The difficulty level of our room was not that hard, but not super easy either. read more

My fiancé had been talking about wanting to try an escape room, so we decided to give Exit Strategy games a try after seeing their great reviews. We did the Woodbury Wizarding School escape room and Cedilah was our game master. We had a blast and Cedilah was so entertaining and fun! The escape room was challenging but not impossible, interactive, fun and was a wonderful date night and experience for us both. Thank you for the amazing time! We will be back! read more
