    We got to sign some kind of guest book.. & it was my sisters birthday!

    This is my first escape room in Fresno. And my second ever escape room experience period. Went with some of my girls for my sisters birthday! It was so much fun! We worked together and got through it with the help of some hints from our host lol. He was awesome! We tried our best not to use too much hints but fuck! If we didn't, we'd be stuck. We got to take a picture at the end. We loved it! Most definitely will be returning and trying a different room!

    This place is fun! There are so many reasons I really enjoyed the escape room, unfortunately I can't share most of them without giving away secrets! This place is definitely worth the money. My family and I showed up on Thursday night around 8 PM. We played the easiest room, the Kings Keep, and it was a lot of fun. The decorations used, the story that was created, and the layout of the room we're all wonderful. I didn't think the room was too hard, but there were a few elements that made me and my family stop and scratch our heads. The staff member that helped us was incredible. I believe her name was Cheyenne. She had great energy, was super encouraging, and her personality really excited us before we got into the room. All in all, this was just a really fun night. I will happily return to this place and play some additional rooms.

    Next-Gen Escape is perfect entertainment during COVID times. FULL DISCLOSURE: I won a free game at an event so this review is based on that game. Next-Gen is an escape room. With COVID, they've moved to a virtual/zoom model and this crate model. I was contacted by email and a date and time for drop off of my game. I had no idea what to expect as I'd never played an escape room before and didn't understand how it would be played at my home. I was intrigued! At the appointed time, a masked employee arrived with a giant crate with two folders on top. (I was assured that the crate and it's contents had been cleaned.) One folder contained signs to use at the end of the game. I was told to start with the other folder. The first page listed very brief instructions with links to a timer and to a power point of the clues. It is best to play with at least one laptop and. We also used our phones but it also really helped to have a bigger screen everyone can see. I'm not going to give any more specifics to ensure I don't give anything away! Overall, this was good fun whether there's only two people playing or a group. I thought the level of difficulty was good, none of the clues were "easy." When you're tired of regular game night and what to elevate a bit, try these guys - emails were always responsive and they were on time for drop off and pick up. Highly recommend.

    Excellent staff and a wonderful experience for an 11 y/o birthday party. We did the lodge room and had a great time. Perfect level of difficulty with well-thought-out puzzles. Looking forward to trying more rooms and escape crates. Thank you Next Gen!

    Global National success!!

    What an experience! My boyfriend and I have done many escape rooms, near and far. Our time here at Next Gen was incredible! We tried out the King's Keep room and were blown away at the level of immersion and creativity put into the room. The tech was top notch, and much better than anything we've seen in Fresno. We had an absolute blast. They offered us a special deal to do Global National following our success in King's Keep, and of course we said yes! I was shocked at the depth this game had. It was incredibly layered, well thought out, quirky, and definitely challenging. We had to think deeply to get out of this one, but ended up succeeding with about 9 mins to spare. It was an outstanding experience overall. The game master was professional, friendly, and super fun! We will absolutely be back to do Clancey's Lodge and whatever else they dream up!

    Came here as part of a bachelorette party and had such a great time. The staff took great care of us and even let us do an extra escape room since we finished ours so quickly and another group had cancelled! Thank you for taking great care of us and for the great time!

    We've done many escape rooms and are self-admitted addicts. We had an amazing time at Next-Gen. They love to hear your feedback and are always looking for ways to create a new experience. Their storylines are unique and have local connections. Tonight we rented their first escape crate, "Left For Dead," and had a fantastic time. I am including pics from tonight's shenanigans! We can't wait for the next one!

    We made it! #teamdanger

    I decided to take my team to the rage room for a last team meeting as we will be going on separate…read morework assignments. I wanted to do something that wasn't traditional meeting as we always do lunch and so we decided to do our end of year meeting of something different. I booked the tickets and even got an extra bin to smash things. Upon entering we were greeted by Frank. He is such a lovely fellow. He made sure our waivers were signed and the whole party was there. He explained everything throughout. You have to wear closed toe shoes, long sleeves and clothing that goes past your ankles qnd I know why!!! Please adhere to their dress policy as it is for safety. I only wear dresses and I forgot to bring a long sleeve shirt. So luckily Walmart was across the street so I quickly went to Walmart. However, there is a thrift shop conveniently located next to the rage room which probably happened what I needed too but cheaper. I wasn't thinking as I was rushing but next time I will pop in and check it out. If you do forget your long sleeve, they do have jackets that you can wear too. Not sure if that will be an extra cost or not. But just come prepared. They make you hard at helmets for a great cause because I did get hit in the head with a big chunk of plates and glass. As once your party starts smashing things glass will be flying everywhere and all directions so make sure you keep your heart helmet on at all times. This was definitely a great experience and a great way to blow off some steam especially in chaotic work environment or any environment that she work in. It was a lot of fun to do this as a team and looking forward to come back. We also felt low-key guilty about breaking things, especially some of the items appeared very nice and we wanted to take them home haha but of course we broke them and it felt nice. Definitely coming back and enjoyed breaking things that is off limits ! My team enjoyed it.

    After a very stressful couple of work weeks, my husband surprised me with a visit to the Rage Room…read moreso I could let out some frustration. I so NEEDED this. We were greeted upon arrival and the guy explained the rules and safety. We were suited up with goggles, a protective helmet with face shield, latex gloves with thicker gloves over them. Make sure you wear long sleeve shirt, comfortable pants and tennis shoes. The room had mounts so we could record ourselves, and we were able to play our own music without hearing other groups, which made it even better. The space was clean, well ventilated. We were given 20 minutes, but we managed to break everything in the two crates within about 14 minutes. That left us plenty of time to use our "weapons" on the tires and release even more stress on the dummy using our fists and legs. My husband did end up getting nicked by glass. The staff member gave him an alcohol wipe, gauze, and bandage. But he was fine. We had such a great time that we asked about group bookings. One room accommodates 4 people and the other two can hold 2 people each. This would be an incredibly fun event to host. Highly recommend for stress relief!

    It was so much fun. Parties are great here my kids always have a great time. Kids had a great timeread more

    This is a great place to take your kids if you are trying to get them tired. There's so many things…read morefor children to do, run on, explore, bounce on and swing from. It's a lot larger inside than it looks from the outside. There are so many different options for children to play on including video games. The pizza was actually pretty good. Every employee there was smiling and super happy. I don't know how they do it because being around that many screaming, running, excited, energetic kids for hours on end would drive me crazy. Every employee was extremely helpful and courteous and very patient with all those children running around. The bathrooms were clean. The snack area was clean. They cleaned the tables off as soon as people left. I attended a birthday party and the birthday room was the perfect size. Our party room attendant was a super sweetest young man. He was so patient with everyone and did not seem annoyed by all of the screaming and excited kids running in his way while he was doing his job. He brought us everything we asked for with a smile. They are extremely organized. I love the colored wristband method. A child did get hurt while we were there and the employees rushed to help her. They were organized, they weren't frantic or freaking out at all. They had clear communication with each other. Because they were so organized and professional it kept the parents from freaking out and they kept the child relaxed until the ambulance arrived. You could totally tell this was not their first rodeo. Before I got there, I was wondering, would it smell strange because of all the little kids and the sweat, it being an enclosed building and the no shoe thing, but to my surprise, it smelled clean, I didn't see any trash anywhere you can definitely tell that they take pride in this business.
