    They have a great selection of games, supplies, miniatures, and anything else you may need for gaming or painting. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and always willing to help. Great Escape Games also helps promote our local model building show and contest each year and iIPMS SilverWings SilverCon 2025 will be held on Saturday May 17th 2025. Please visit us at https://m.facebook.com/groups/ipmsssilverwings/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr

    Lots of selection with figures, paints, board games, landscape, and books.
    Jeremy D.

    Great Escape Games is the largest gaming room in the Sacramento area with many selections of board games, figurines, paints, dice, landscape / structures, and books. There's many tables in the left area for Magic, Pokémon, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), Warhammer, etc. For the size of the establishment, Great Escape still feels like a hole in the wall because it's at the back of a shopping area and just when you think you're lost, you've found the shop. The prices are within reason and the mark up is minimal. The staff is open for discussions, have lots of knowledge from their gaming experience, and very chill. We come here to browse new items, replace our paints, buy new figures, and window shop.

    They just got a restock on all Citadel paints.

    Was in town on business, and wanted to stop by one of the most popular spots for electronic…read morehobbies. This place is ALL HOBBIES! They're known for their extensive (--VERY EXTENSIVE--) RC Hobby equipment and supplies.... And that's what I came for. Came in looking for things that I thought I could only find online upgrade parts for Arrma Mojave Grom and Granite Grom. Was looking for different covers and axle rods. They had what I was looking for! Also, saw a ton of aftermarket parts for ALL scales of Rock Crawlers, and the cars to g with them... I stared at one of them too long, and the sales-tech shoved the crawler in my hand and ushered me over to the rock crawl stage, in the middle of the store... I had a blast! Prior to my experience with this rock crawler, I had my research set on a different type... the hands-on experience helped me make a great choice. I picked one up a week later, for my grandkids. (Today) I saw and perused a LOT... yes, transmitters, receivers, planes, trains, automobiles...dolls, bears, think toys, frisbees, electronic and steam hobby... and even more Toy Hobby, not just crafts... Toy Hobby. I haven't seen such variety of beginner/intermediate/advanced electronic and toy hobby in one place. This. Place. Has. It. ALL. If you don't have a hobby going in, you can definitely leave with one, or two. Well worth the visit to get your hands, and set eyes on the hobby you're looking into!

    I had no idea this place existed but it's so fun! There is so much to look at. Everything from…read moretrains to robots and everything in-between. Lots of fun toys and hobby stuff for all ages. They even had some vintage Star Wars stuff which I was excited about. I will most definitely be back. The staff were very nice and helpful. Prices were reasonable and they have such a huge variety of things there's pretty much something for everyone.

Yo Pop Fun Shop is on the backside of the tan color building maps will route you to. There's parking back there too. It feels kind of like finding a brewery, and that might prevent break ins I suppose. I couldn't even tell there were windows until we were inside. This is where my cousin wanted to go to do one of our favorite hobbies together (window shopping and impulse buying, ok I guess in his case Seriously Collecting Funko Pop figures) on his birthday shopping trip this year. I had never heard of it, so I figured, why not? I am so glad we checked it out because they had so many different Funkos I wasn't used to seeing, particularly in the recent movies, cult classics, Disney, and anime categories. For instance, I had no idea there were Fruits Basket ones. Mind you, I am an unserious collector. Even though I told myself No Pops after I finally found my holy grail (Crowley + Aziraphale) at The Cave in July, I could not resist buying my kitty's namesake. Each of the main three have their tiny animal selves in addition to human form. The person working the counter that day was awesome, and she talked to us about the collection, prices, and anime. It was such a fun shopping experience. She helps her boss manage the store, which is his personal collection. Imagine having so many of these you can open a small store like this? Wow. The AC was bumping thankfully because it was a hot September day. Yo Pop is also clean and well-organized; that is all her doing, she said. I appreciated her so much but forget her name already. I'm sorry! Turns out there was a buy 3 get a 4th (under ? $15 I think) free, so I walked out with Kyo, Andy from Alien: Romulus (did not know there were even Alienverse Pops before this place!), my cousin's Christmas present, and one additional Power Ranger for him. We had a hard time walking away from sparkling Edward Cullen but neither of us could afford him. Prices are labeled (I cannot stand when they aren't visible), and reasonable. They had an entire wall of $7 figures. The highly collectable ones are expensive everywhere, and there are even apps now to find and compare prices. None of which I've bothered with. There's fun for me in the randomness of the hunt. This store is 95% FunkoPop, but there are some other collectables and toys in here too. I saw some cool retro action figures and loungefly backpacks. So yeah. I maybe have a FunkoProblem. And yeah, I take them out of the box (*GASP*...they look cuter on my bookshelves this way) unless they're the valuable ones. My ineffables and Kyo are def not coming out of the box. Leave me a compliment if you too have a FunkoProblem.

    Nice little shop, very friendly and helpful. Informative staff. Lots of variety of Popsread more
