We had a great time! Aditya did a sold job helping us out when we needed when we got stuck

Eric was great and enthusiastic! He set us up for success. Thanks for a good time and a fun escape!

It was so much fun thank you Eric for making the game super realistic and fun. Would definitely love to come again and try the other games.

Always a fun experience with friends. Recommend the Special Ops game at Valley Fair. Cosmic Crisis recently joined the lineup and is a fun game too. Might need more than 5-6 ppl for that one though. read more

The Escape Game is a fun, well run escape room right in the Vale Fair mall. It is a bit more expensive than others, but it feels polished and it's relatively new. We did a Western themed room, and everything was designed well enough to keep you engaged without overcomplicating things. We ended up with the fastest time of the week. It did not feel especially hard, so either we were way smarter than we thought or the room was a bit easier. Either way, it was a good time. The staff was friendly and kept things running smoothly. They stay on schedule, which helps the whole experience feel organized. Overall, a fun stop if you are already at the mall and want to do something a little different. One star less cuz it was easy and therefore short. read more

This is a *shared experience* in which our group (4 adults) was joined by 3 preteens and their mom. One of them had already played before and did take away some of the fun of that, given he knew clues and said we were "doing it out of order." I think they enjoyed themselves and I'll let kids be kids! The room was fun and had a lot of random puzzles to solve, we did the spice market one. And they said the clock would pause during videos but it didn't. Which I think videos took up 3-5 total minutes of our time. I liked the elevator element and the beginning spice shop. Overall the game was well made. The staff was friendly in that over acting saccharine way. read more

I've been to other bay area locations but this is my first time at the San Jose one. I played The Heist here with my friends (total of 4 people). Booking process was easy (I did it via phone, and was informed that there is a possibility that the room could be shared with others and that I could purchase the rest of the slots for half price - I opted out). The staff here are quick to respond to any calls or texts. They gave me a call to check on our arrival since we were running late. Luckily we didn't miss too much. We shared the experience with 4 others (1 adult and 3 small kids) and it was cramped in that first room! It would definitely be uncomfortable if it was a full room of 8 adults in there. Thankfully we weren't in that 1st room for too long. Overall, the puzzles were well designed and creative. The kids we shared the experience with had a lot of energy which made it difficult for us adults to actually solve the puzzles, but we got through it for the most part. Our game master was attentive and made sure to only provide hints when it seemed like most of the group consented to it, even when someone pressed the button. Although we technically didn't escape in time, our game master allowed us to finish up the room since we were super close so that we could see the ending which we appreciated. Since the game master noticed that my group had a subpar experience because of the kids, we were offered a free private session for a future booking which I will definitely use! read more

The depths were super fun, Escarleth was an amazing host! Would do again in the future

We loved our time at The Escape Game here in Valley Fair! We came with a decent sized party on New Years Eve and had a great time with a seamless setup. Duke was our guide/host and he was very friendly and helpful throughout. We did the Gold Rush room and as escape rooms go it was pretty easy. At this point we've done probably a dozen or so of them and this may have been the easiest (we finished with 23:45 remaining, a record for the year). The room itself was pretty immersive and the process is fun, but just the right bit of challenging. It felt short, but that might've been because we got in a good groove and moved fast. Honestly, this was a really fun place that had an immersive room but we wish it had just been a bit more challenging. We'll definitely come back another time to try out other rooms though so we'll keep this in mind for next time! read more

Aditya was great thank you so much! will be back again. strongly recommend gold rush for families

The staff were really helpful and the rooms were really neat and enhanced the experience! I had a great birthday party with my friends!

Ryan is the goat and made a FIRE birthday card. W ryan. He made the experience so much better

My son was so into the game he started crying when he thought his dad got left behind! Lol!! Super family fun!

Rooms are very intricate and fun puzzles. Not always linear. Very good use of technology

Erik did a great job getting us all setup. Game was fun. We were able to solve the puzzle in good time. Will play again

The escape room flew by so fast, and we had just 5 seconds left. Our rep Eric was awesome!

Eric & co we're awesome. We had a really great time in the Gold Rush game. We got our with 2 seconds to spare! Just the right amount of time with some helpful hints as needed along the way. read more

Super fun! No complaints. Cielo was wonderful! We did the Cosmic room and we completed it with 6 minutes to spare. We were challenged, but we had fun! read more

Extremely cool! Friendly staff. Wonderful set up!really worth to play. We did it with 8 people and escaped in time

We had a great time for my girlfriend's birthday. Would definitely do it again. Thank you!

We had a blast at this escape room! Fun themes and staff. Eric was particularly enthusiastic as well

Aditya was the best he is the goat. We had a great time. It was good puzzles and we got it done but we just struggled with finding stuff hidden read more

Ok, gave this place another try. Did the Heist with 1/2 the family yesterday. Much better experience with this 8/10 difficulty room. There were a hiccup where a puzzle should have caused a clue to come out, but it didn't. The staff was very apologetic about it and did a lot of stuff to make it up to us, which we really appreciate. The staff here has always been top notch. Since we came on a whim, we got the room to ourselves. The room was scheduled to start basically 5 minutes before we arrived. Overall the theming was much better, but I would say that while we did need a couple of hints aren't overly difficult. I don't think it would have been as "fun" if the whole family was with. There wouldn't have been enough puzzles to keep us all engaged. Upping the stars but I wouldn't do these rooms with a full 8 people. I would rate it a lot less if the room was full. So the trick is to come with fewer people and it would be a lot of fun. read more

Gold Rush was lots of fun. Clever puzzles in the rooms. First room was a bit too dark and lanterns not bright enough. Host was very friendly. read more
