EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL!…read more We booked back at the end of July. This is our first time going with this business, usually we book with Sac Brew Bike. The night went pretty decent, I thought about booking with them in the future because their rules are pretty lenient... HOWEVER, after what I have encountered, I will NEVER EVER book with them again and I'll make sure anyone who asked me about brew bikes... I will share them my experience with THIS business. They care for making money off of you and then treat you like garbage right after. I understand a business is trying to get it's bag, but at least have some human decency. It's not like we treated the driver and the host bad at all--we offered them the alcohol that we brought with us and offered food that we ordered at one of the stops we made, left several boxes of alcohol for them at the end, and on top of that tipped very well. We wanted to make sure that everyone (including the employees) is having a good time because it's not the easiest thing to be in the heat, bike, and deal with people at times. I get that it's their job and they signed up for it, but it's just nice to see everyone around you having a good time. Let's proceed to what happened... shall we? As we started biking, the employee told us that we can leave our jacket on the hanger on the inside because there isn't one on the outside (where we are sitting). I proceed to do so, thinking nothing of it because I know it'll be safe there as we get on and off the bike. Arriving to our last destination, we all hopped off and a few minutes later... I realized that I have forgot my jacket on the bike. My friend who booked the bike called them immediately and they picked up-- informing my friend that they see the jacket AND that I can pick it up first thing in the morning. Fast forward to the morning. I drove down to the address listed on yelp...I pulled up and guess what? I couldn't find the building for "Off the Chain Bike Bus Tour." I thought I was at the wrong location... I had to second guess myself and walked back and forth to see if I have missed the building. Keep in mind, I know downtown sac like the back of my hand-- I go out extremely often and even work in dt. It led me to the address of a restaurant that has been shut down and chained up. It didn't felt right. I got confused... so I called up the number. The owner picked up, he informed me that they are only out there if someone books with them and the next time he is out here, he will check or have his guys check the bike. I left it at that and followed up more towards the end of the week. Here is where the math ain't mathing... So, how come the staff said that they saw the jacket and that I can pick it up the next morning? When there isn't even a location for this business (I forgive about there not being a location). However, it doesn't make sense... if they were to store the bikes away and come out for the next customer, wouldn't the jacket still be on the bike? Unless... one of the staff took it and the owner is covering them. As you may wonder... what type of jacket is this? why would someone steal a jacket? It's a ZARA jacket... so, I guess it's worth having sticky fingers over. I followed up again today. The owner picked up and I asked about my jacket. He came at me rude... saying "You called us 3-4 times. There is nothing we can do." Sounds super defensive to me; you know people don't act defensive for no reason. The response is super ignorant as a business owner. I informed him how unprofessional it was for his staff to provide misinformation and how it played out in general. He said "there is miscommunication," and that's it. Like that's all he can say to me as a customer? OH OKAY. I understand people lose stuff all the time. I wouldn't be upset if I placed it at a bar and then accidentally forgot about my jacket. However, I was informed that they see the jacket AND that I can pick it up the next morning... but when I try to pick up the jacket, my jacket is no where to be found. It makes no sense at all...

We had The Murder Mystery Company for my sisters birthday and we had a BLAST! The hired actors were…read morefabulous, patient, and friendly throughout the mystery, even as the guests grew a little more rowdy due to food and drinks. The directions and clue binders were well explained, illustrated, and just the right amount of cheeky. I loved the combination of storytelling, humor, and improv!! It was so entertaining and will fit the mood for any party! I look forward to my next murder mystery.

Sadly, I was so disappointed by this event…read more The biggest issue was HOW HARD IT WAS TO HEAR. Even though the actors were using microphones, much of the dialogue was difficult to make out. The event also requires you to talk with people at your table and move around the room to gather clues, but it was very hard to hear those conversations as well. Because the whole experience depends on hearing what others are saying, that made participating in the mystery frustrating. The other issue was pacing, it always felt like we were being rushed to do our next steps. The ACTORS THEMSELVES WERE EXCELLENT, and the mystery and the overall format seemed well designed. It felt like it could have been a really fun event, but the noise and acoustics made it hard to follow what was happening. There was also one issue with the food service. I could not get a glass of water for quite a while, even though I asked multiple times. I was extremely thirsty and eventually had to stand near where the waitstaff entered the room and wait until someone could bring me a glass. Overall, the concept and performers were good, but the SOUND AND ROOM SETUP MADE IT DIFFICULT TO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE.

If you're trying to decided amongst the other escape rooms in Sacramento, definitely go with this one :) Shout out to our game master Kaitlin for being so sweet and accommodating to us

Most of us in some capacity have gone and done an escape room experience, but none of us had been to PanIQ before. After dpimg some research it seemed like this place would be a great spot and it did not disappoint.

We needed a few hints in the 1st room, but needed a more in the 2nd. But it was Overall a good time and challenging escape room, with lots of various dishes varying means of integration. Overall: Would definitely recommend, and we look at going back and thing at the Insane Asylum room when we have a smaller group. Pricing was good and they have a 30% discount for weekday visits, and a 20% Military Discount if you chose to go on the weekend.

It felt like I was about to go on a rapid river excursion, but instead of a river of water, it would be a river of traffic, but all that fear went away pretty quickly. Going slow down the streets provided a rare vibe I have never experienced, I got to see some beautiful houses, chant with strangers on the sidewalk, and made friends with people in their cars. Next time a friend visits from out of town, I am recommending we do this again.

The performer did an amazing job keeping the energy fun and lively, and really knew how to connect with the kids. Even the parents were impressed with how entertaining and interactive everything was.
