This was the biggest game with up to 12 players but we only had 4 which could be paired with other. Well, we had the place to ourselves. The Escape Game is different than any I've been to because they allow and encourage the use of photos and filming during the game. You will see so many social media reels of this particular room. Afterwards, I realized, OMG the answers were clearly given out in the reels many times! We had so much fun. My favorite by far. Made us felt like a kid again and definitely had all of us contributing, studying and playing together. Such a clever game! Well thought out and as players, you just need to listen carefully starting w the very FIRST clue! We asked for help a few times. Sadly we didn't unlock the last lock on time but they graciously let us finish with a few minutes after the deadline. Parking at UTC is free thr first hour. Use GPS to take you directly to the parking lot. There's a ticket booth in front of the Escape room if you want to pay in advanced when you exit.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

One thing I noticed is that I haven't really seen any lifeguards around, so if you don't know how to swim, I wouldn't recommend climbing down into the water. I also see a lot of people walking their dogs here, which is something I personally like. Between the ocean views, the sunset, and all the people out enjoying the outdoors, it's just a nice place to spend part of the day.

If you are looking for a safe & fun activity to do during COVID, this is your place! For starters they are following everything from private bookings, temperature check, & sanitation. My boyfriend & I just got done doing their room Black & White Cafe and were definitely in awe. Every aspect of this room amazes you and really immerses you into the story. The way to solve the puzzles was very different than your typical escape room. Would love to go into details but that would just spoil the uniqueness and fun of this room. If you are a beginner in escape rooms or just a party of 2, you should look no further and play their room! Not to mention how welcoming the staff is. They make you feel right at home. If we could give this room 10 stars we definitely would! I am excited to see what their next room is going to be like and will be making sure to play that room when it's ready! Please support small businesses and try out this room! You will not regret it. P.S If you love dogs.... Book this room! Will not be disappointed ;) read more

Plenty of parking. I strategically parked in the spot which would allow me and my team of 4, escape room enthusiast, to take the least amount of steps to get to the front door. By the time I got to my ninth step a jolly Mindfox employee greeted us outside, Ray was his name, we would later find out the rest of the staff was just as friendly. Our temperatures were taken, hands sprayed with hand sanitizer, and watched a video explaining the do's and don'ts of the room. Video was amusing and why did the characters have such small feet? Must mean they have small toes as well. Ray told us the story and we entered the room. Impressive! Very different and so much fun. In the great words of Inspector Gadget, "WOWZERS!" Several puzzles were exceptionally interactive and the rest challenging, but that didn't stop us from escaping the room. Our pictures were taken, debriefed with the Mindfox staff about how much fun we had, and got the FOX out of there with smiles on our faces! read more

I recently visited MindFox Escape Room with my family of 5 and it was an incredible experience! This was our first time doing an escape room and our gamemaster Isabella was super nice and kept us on track whenever we got stuck on a puzzle for too long. We asked for help multiple times since it was our first time and her guidance made the whole experience enjoyable. She knew just how much of a hint to give us to help us escape within the time limit without giving too much away. The mix of engaging puzzles and locks was perfect, making it suitable for both first-timers and experienced players. I highly recommend MindFox for a fun and challenging outing! read more
