Elijah was great--friendly, helpful, and a fun game master. We've visited multiple times and completed several escape rooms here, so we're definitely repeat customers. About a month ago, we escaped Carnevil. Despite a few technical issues and glitches with some of the puzzles, we really enjoyed the room. It was packed with decorations, had a great atmosphere, and the puzzles were challenging and engaging. We had such a good experience that we decided to come back for another visit. This time, we played "The Other Side" based on an employee recommendation, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. The puzzles weren't very challenging, the room felt short, and the overall experience fell flat compared to other rooms we've done. The set design and decorations were also fairly minimal, making it less immersive than we expected. We were so underwhelmed that we decided to pay for another room immediately afterward. We chose "Society Zero," and it was a completely different experience. The puzzles were much more challenging and engaging, there were more of them, and the room's decor and atmosphere were just better. We escaped that room as well and had a much more enjoyable time. While "The Other Side" wasn't for us, we'd definitely recommend "Society Zero" for anyone looking for a more immersive and challenging escape room experience. Overall, we've had positive experiences here and will likely return, but we'd suggest skipping "The Other Side" and choosing one of the more developed rooms instead read more

First let me say customer service was terrible with the exception of Rayden. He was very helpful. We did Carnevil and the room itself was super fun even challenging. The non linear aspect was a great idea but needed some direction as we progressed we did not know if we missed something, the games itself needed so much help as we asked for hints we were doing the correct thing all along but it just was not registering. We're even told we had to do it softer? Whatever that means. Though the videos were interactive they ate up so much time. Felt a little cheated in the end but we still had fun. read more

So fun!! I went with a group of friends this past weekend and we all had a great time! We were able to use a Groupon and it was $38 each for our group of 5. You reserve ahead of time online and there is a waiver you will need to sign. The staff were very informative and welcoming. They asked us if we needed hints when they noticed we were stuck. The School of Magic theme was very immersive with lots of puzzles. Perfect for Harry Potter fans! The facility was clean and the room was comfortable. They have lockers to put away personal belongings and I noticed that they sell drinks and souvenirs in the lobby. One of the pros for this location is that it's a private room so you will only be playing with your group! We had 1 hour to solve all the puzzles and escaped the room with 10 minutes to spare! Highly recommend if you like escape rooms/puzzles. I would even recommend this as a team building event for work. I would love to come back to try another game! read more

We went for my fiancé's birthday to play the CarnEvil escape room and we all had a blast. You can do a hard or easy version and we chose to do the easy version to have a less anxious experience. We were able to get help throughout the experience which was nice. I don't have pictures of the room to post, I think it's best to be surprised, but I will tell you there are two rooms involved with this particular experience. The business is located on the 2nd floor and there was plenty of parking in the shopping center it's nestled inside. There are promos right now to get 50% off when you book Mon-Thurs and other promos for the weekend. I saw the promos on their Instagram stories so be sure to follow them if you want to save money. I recommend doing this with friends and right now they don't mix groups so whomever you sign up with will be the only people you play with, even if it is just yourself. However, I highly recommend playing with just one other person as some puzzles require more than one set of hands. read more

My husband surprised the family with our first escape room adventure. IT WAS SO FUN! Due to the time we were available, we ended up in a very challenging room, but it was amazingly FUN! The hour went by quickly, but I think that was due in part to us being novices. Will definitely do another room! The attendant informed us they are changing out the room we did, which is a bummer, because we really wanted to go back and try to finish it! This was loads of fun and an exercise in communication and working as a team. I never knew how competitive my daughter was! LOL! SO MUCH FUN! Thank you! read more

Super fun Escape Room with excellent service ! Arranged a team building outing for my coworkers and I. I completed the "Otherside" room which was very interactive, immersive and fun! The puzzles weren't overly complicated and were super unique. Extreme Escape was super accommodating! The general manager Mike answered all my questions over email and made the booking process super easy. We were able to book two rooms easily and start at the same time to see who finished the fastest (my team won hehe). He was understanding when I asked to change the booking date and the party size more than once. He made it a 10/10 experience for sure! Shout out to the front desk employee Kat who was very patient with our large party! Thank you for making this the best team outing ever! read more

Love it! Me and my dad did the "Other Side" escape room, which is a parody escape room of stranger things, and we loved it! We both watched Stranger Things together and this brought back memories of the show. Puzzles: 10/10. Theming: 10/10. The Puzzles were incredibly well thought out, and the spooky ambience made everything ten times better. If you live in the San Antonio area, give this place a try! It won't disappoint! read more

My boyfriend and I tried the "Encounter" escape room. It was super fun and definitely challenging. The only thing that bothered my was how dark it was, I could barely read some of the papers in the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Andrew. I would definitely recommend going here. You can use Groupon to save $ or look on their social media for a coupon code. read more

Went twice with the family, loved the experience! It was easy to book and the staff explained everything really well.

My first time at this location went very well. The staff was friendly and everything went smoothly. The only concern I had was that one part of the game was very particular and needed a staff member to come in and mess with it. Other than that, I would definitely come back again. I would point out one staff member in particular but the customer service throughout each one of these Extreme Escape places is uniformly splendid. read more

Great place and amazing games! We had the best service they went above and beyond helping our group of 10. I accidentally purchased not realizing that same day instead of in-advance date and they made a curtesy call asking about us going before I realized what I had done. Thanks to good honest people we were rendered another day and transferred our appointments. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US SUCH GREAT MEMORIES! read more

Extreme Escape - Escape Games Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Look y'all- I'm a sucker for an Escape Room and it's even better when you get your group of friends to have a few drinks beforehand to really see just how great your skills are to escape within an hour. With or without alcohol in your system, with friends or family, there really is no wrong way to enjoy one of Extreme Escape's rooms! They have four different themed rooms you can choose from. There's an alien themed, stranger things, indiana jones, and a haunted cabin. Depending on the size of your group you can do a private booking or sign up for a specific time and join fellow "escapers". I really like how immersive the clues are and they definitely force you to think "outside of the box". The rooms are really well done and there is so much attention to detail. Your group will also get to enjoy a few different rooms within the escape room. The staff is very helpful and super friendly. You're given three clues and you have access to your "guide" if you need assistance. read more

When you walk into Extreme Escape you are immediately welcomed with glee from the personnel there. The rooms are very virtually-interactive! As someone who suffers from sensory-overload a tad easier than normal I did find this to be a little much at times throughout the 60 minutes I was in there. That's not a fault on them, just a warning to others who have similar issues! Overall, the group I went with thought the entire experience was challenging, fun and absolutely worth while! read more

We were just a walk-in but Ryan, Caitlin, and Sophia made sure we had a fun experience on this random adventure we decided to take. My first escape room in San Antonio and I can say that I honestly enjoyed myself. read more

Went to Extreme Escape with my son today. We have been to escape rooms before but this one is our favorite so far. We had a great time. The room was challenging and the staff were awesome. I highly recommend it!!!! And we did escape read more

It was about a 12-minute drive from the Extreme Escape Colonnade location to their Stone Oak location and it's quite a different scenery here. Stone Oak location is inside a shopping complex and it can be easily seen on the second floor as they occupy pretty much the whole space up there. There's plenty of parking. The lobby is lot more spacious here. You can choose to sit on the comfortable couches or the torture chair while sipping away your cold beverage (beer and wine complimentary to adults!). In this location we tried "The Cursed" room. As ESCAPETHEROOMers ventured into a cabin in the woods, we realized this is not a normal cabin. The witch has put an evil spell and captured our souls. We must reverse the spell and escape! There are definitely a few "jumpy" moments in the room where we thought the "witch" was coming for us, but rest assured there are no live actors in this room. This is when you know the special effects of the lighting, sound, and smoke are utilized just right. Although we definitely heard a lot more screaming coming from the room next door so we're very curious as to what lies on "The Other Side" (another theme room at this location). The room was very well designed and things that aren't supposed to move are bolted down so there's not a lot of red herrings. Everything that was movable was utilized once. You really can tell the props used are very true to the storyline. There was a puzzle that took a bit more time as it had to be really precise and it was a bit sensitive. You really needed to have great eye and hand coordination for one of the puzzles. One thing we realized in both rooms that we've tried with Extreme Escape is that we were able to get out with ample time left with just the two of us. We love to see some more intricate puzzles that perhaps would be a it more challenging for experienced players in the future. We did see one puzzle use that was similar to the one we did in the "Undead" room at the Colonnade location. Overall, we had a lot of fun in this room and that's an important aspect when coming out from an escape room. *For more info, check out my Yelp profile. read more

They were able to accommodate us for my daughters birthday party. It was fun and challenging and the girls enjoyed it. Thank you

I came to this location with a bunch of military friends because of an add that said free military Mondays. We asked the ticket clerk about it and she wasn't familiar with it. Which is upsetting, since it's on the website. Another guy came out and told us that they do have the offer but only one person out of the group can get in for free. Which this was unfair to everybody in the group. However, the escape room was pretty well set up. We did one of the escape rooms and had a good time. Although it was pretty hard, it had a total of 3 rooms in one game. read more

Good escape room experience. Made a reservation for four hoping to have a private group and was paired up with others. We arrived on time but waited 10-15 min because they were running late. We chose The Cursed puzzle and really liked it. Clues came through as text on a screen opposed to a speaker. You only receive a third clue if you check in on Facebook to help their marketing. We solved the puzzle with time to spare. My last escape room offered free wine and drinks which was missed here. read more

Great time! I've done some before at other escape rooyin town but this one was my favorite. We did the Mayan ruins room and it the hardest one. Definitely makes you think and really look around at everything. The staff was great and when we needed clues they were super helpful. I do wish that some the clues in the game where less math best and more just riddles but that's just me. Still great time for a birthday, date, team building or anything! read more

Garbage. I have gone to the one at the Colonnade and have never had any problems. Enjoyed it every time, and I have done each room with one room doing twice. And if you are wanting to come, DO NOT do The Other Side. You are left in a room with absolutely no direction on where to start or even what to do next. We are spent over 5 minutes trying to get a BROKEN lock to open up,with no time given back. And a flashlight was a key component in getting the next clue, but good thing the flashlight was broken. Piss on this place!! read more

This was our first time at Extreme Escape. We did the Lost Tomb for a friends birthday. We were a group of 6 and that was a good amount for the size of the rooms within this challenge. The clues were definitely somewhat challenging, forcing you to really pay attention and work together to complete some of the tasks. Some of the items were a little worn/ not functioning properly so, that delayed us in one step (don't want to give anything away!). But you are allowed to ask 3 clues if you get stuck. I think this is a great activity for any small group. Really forced us to work together. The staff was really nice, very welcoming. They explained the rules, etc. and made sure we were all comfortable with what she said before we began. I would bring your phone with you (you are allowed to take it in, you just can't take photos of the clues/ videos that are given). We used the flashlights on our phones a lot to see better since it was dark in there (it was expected since we were in a "tomb" but helpful nonetheless). Overall a fun experience. I would definitely do another one. They've got a handful of different themes. If you go on the website they give you a rundown of what age is appropriate for each theme. read more

Had a great experience at Extreme Escape. We booked a B-day party for our son. Liz was very helpful and accommodating. Since we booked during pandemic they made sure our kids were safe but still had a great experience. I commend their efforts and service. read more

This was such a fun time! We had used the Go San Antonio passes and josh and the staff were super helpful in helping me and my friends figure out what to do. 10/10 deff recommend as a fun team building experience! read more

Our team of 3 adults and 4 middle schoolers (6th, 7th, and 8th graders) tried the Encounter room yesterday. You're trapped on a spaceship and must complete the mission before time is up. Only two of us, my son and I, had ever been in an escape room before (a fun time at Extreme Escape's I 10 location). Every single member of our team contributed something essential to our escape -- we made it with only 7 minutes to spare. It made for an incredibly exciting Sunday afternoon! Your cell phone isn't going to help you figure out the challenges. Keen attention to details, perseverance, and a critical eye and thinking is what's required. This is a memorable experience as a team building exercise or bonding with your friends, even an unique family adventure since even Grandma and Grandpa can participate! The room's setting and props make you feel like you are trapped on a spaceship. And you are not alone... Great customer service, too-- we asked for clues and got good ones that helped us get to the next challenge. We are already stoked to come again for a different adventure. Why take everyone to the crazy crowded mall? You know Sea World is too big for everyone in your family to walk in an afternoon. Try booking a room at Extreme Escape for an exciting hour you won't forget! It's family friendly, so no worries about covering junior's ears or eyes. read more

Tried out the Tomb Adventure for my oldest's birthday. It was definitely a challenge. The clues helped but still it was difficult to figure out the puzzle. Impossible to get everything correct with just the artifacts that you find. We still needed a clue or two to make it to the end. Overall a fun experience. This was our second time trying an escape room. Both have been fun. read more

LOVE this place!! We've been coming here for date nights, then we bring the kids to do the rooms that we did. Well designed and super great props! Absolutely love it! We are finishing all the rooms here then going to the other location for the other rooms. Sooo much fun!! read more

We had a blast with our group celebrating a birthday! Was fun and challenging with great props & professional special effects! Can't wait to try the other theme rooms... read more

Fun experience with friends. Only one part of the game actually didn't work and an employee had to come in and fix it. I liked being able to take my personal belongings in with me. read more

Decent room but our experience was plagued with several equipment malfunctions and the staff wasn't quick to address them, instead giving us clues to what we were already doing correctly. They eventually had to come in to fix it but we wasted a lot of time banging our heads against the wall. Doesn't sound like equipment will be fixed anytime soon so don't recommend going back. read more

Two stars because all the equipment was not working. They also did not give us all the necessary information in order to solve the puzzle. They did not tell us how to reset the lock. The manager said he was super sorry for them not giving us the information and for having faulty equipment but did not offer to remedy anything. But after spending $130 for 4 people plus babysitting fees this should have been a bigger deal to them than it was. The room idea is great, but execution is very poor. I do see that the manager has responded to my review. They have offered to refund the money to my card and give me free tickets. I will update if this does actually happen. I also want them to know that it wasn't just the crank. The crank did literally lose screws while it was turning, but it was also the star in room one didn't activate what it was supposed to, the lights in room two didn't work, some message was supposed to display but that didn't work, lights were burned out, and the person didn't tell us that we would need to reset the lock. It was just all a big mess. I hope that all these problems have been solved. read more

What a great time!!! Had my daughter celebrate her birthday with a few friends and they had a blast! Liz was so awesome setting up the appointment and the staff on the day of the party were helpful and so pleasant! We will be back with the family for some "just for fun" times! read more

Extreme Escape is a great place I like to go to with my boyfriend when we want to have fun outside the house. This particular location has a nice and friendly staff who provide individualized attention to each of their clients. Since we tend to be competitive individuals, we try to schedule rooms with just us two. So we don't ruin the fun for other people. The staff is really good about allowing us to switch rooms if they are empty. It's a great (and reasonably priced) way to have fun for an hour that involves interaction with others, while at the same time being mentally stimulating. The only real issue I had was with one of the rooms during our visit. This room was very complicated and required several specific sequences. So, when we were solving one of the puzzles, the room was not registering it. When the game master saw we were struggling with this for about 15 minutes, he told us how to solve it. Turns out the room didn't recognize which stage we were at. So we were doing it correctly, but the room was telling us we were wrong. The game master ended up setting the room to the correct stage, but it still took up a lot of time. Other than that, it was a great experiences, and the other rooms are really fun! Will come back to complete the other ones! :) read more

Fun & exciting! Reserved from a Groupon which was awesome. The room was one that wasn't scary which was great for our group. We made it out under the time & every had fun. I only took a star off because it was expensive. read more

We came to play one escape room, The Other Side, and stayed to play another! The Other Side escape room is themed to be like an adventure through Stranger Things! The room was challenging and fun. The attention to detail was superb. The second room that we escaped was Space/Aliens themed. Great fun! The front desk staff and room hosts are friendly and professional. They also have board games to play while you wait for your time slot in the lobby! Overall, we had a great time!! read more

The room kept malfunctioning, had to call in staff to help. Requested clues but the staff wasn't watching the team so would throw out suggestions for things already completed. Did not express any concern or apology. Was a very frustrating experience - would not recommend. read more

My group did Lost Tomb. I really liked that the rooms were "generation 2" (there were multiple small rooms that you opened up as you went) However, I feel like some of the content was sacrificed in order to have this. There weren't many clues and there weren't any cool trinkets to enhance the atmosphere. The sound and lighting effects were impressive, though. Additionally, one of the puzzles that we had to use a clue for had no indication of the answer anywhere. Without giving too much away, we had to assume that something represented even numbers, while there was nothing that hinted at it until we were specifically told. I thoroughly enjoyed the escape rooms at the other location, as they were challenging and took up the entire time with the large number of puzzles and locks. This location lacked that. We finished with 20 minutes left, even with us being stuck for a while on a puzzle. Lastly, one of the rooms was filled with snake stuff and I have an extreme phobia. I can't blame extreme escape for that, but I thought I should mention in case someone else had a problem with that. read more

The customer service here was outstanding. Our son was scared in The Other Side so I took him out after a few minutes. The staff allowed us to play The Tomb instead which wasn't scary. They were very accommodating. I'm only giving 4 stars because, while the game was fun, it seemed fairly easy compared to others I've played. We only used 1 clue and finished quickly. I was also disappointed that the room did not have a separate exit. When we finished we just received a "Yay! You did it!" type message and then exited the same way we went in. Every other escape room I've played has had a separate locked exit for you to unlock and "escape". If you've never played before, then this place is great. If you're a seasoned escape gamer, you may be a bit disappointed. read more

This was my first escape room experience. It was truly a great time, the game masters were very helpful if we got stuck. 10/10 would recommend #didntgetblairwitched read more

We had a blast here! We even did two rooms back to back. The rooms were well put together and had a lot of cool puzzles. I recommend taking a light source with you to help see things in the dark. read more
