The room's challenges vary based on the size of the group, which is so cool and shows the tremendous thought the founders put into this place.

Or when you haven't figured it out and just keep losing without much progress (yeah I'm talking about you, Seahorse game!). The front desk was manned by Tim who is super nice and really cares about your enjoyment of the games. He'll offer you a hint if you really need it.

I was so scared that I couldn't help screaming throughout the game. Our gamemaster was right; we didn't need live actors to make it scary.

I recommend this room if you're into horror.

Don't even try to go there on your own cuz there's a gatekeeper who is an ex special force military guy with night vision and all kinds of "stuff" to prevent people from going into the preserve and vandalizing this place. He lives on the property up on the hills not too far from the gated entrance . (The preserve is fenced in with locked gates ) We met up and got on the docent led bus at the Round Valley Regional Park parking lot. There were 18 of us , a naturalist named Kevin who led the tour and two interpretive student aids. Kevin was a great guide because he was energetic, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the environment. I could tell he is very passionate and loves nature and the wildlife . We got to see some fairy shrimps in the vernal pools which are endangered species . We also got to see a golden eagle, red tailed hawks, a kestrel, frogs. And of course the highlight for me was the cave art , pictographs. Awwwww it was so awesome to see pictographs inside the wind caves. Could be as old as 10,000 years old. IT was hella windy up there , well which is why there are wIndmills up there. Super super windy and cold. Bundle up if you are signed up on the tour to go up there. It was so awesome to see everything up there and gained new knowledge on biodiversity. Well worth the money. The tour was $40 a person but subject to change so check their website at East Bay Regional Park.

For Alameda County residents it's $30 per person, others pay a bit more. It's about 45 min away from San Leandro to Round Valley Regional Preserve in Brentwood. FREE parking there, 2 pit toilets. Leader Eddie was our guide w/ an assistant. They had a van that the assistant drove, while Eddie rode w/ the 20 paid ppl on the tour in a small shuttle. Bathrooms available at the parking lot at Vasco Caves, some picnic tables too. Hike was from 9am-2pm, there were lots of breaks and stories. We had a 20 min lunch stop. We hiked about 2.25 miles total, a few steep areas, but not hard. Saw some birds, lizards, tadpoles, sheep. Didn't see the fairyshrimp or tiger salamander - bummer. Caves are more like wind caves and not something you can go into. There was a very faint rock art w/ some old stuff & new stuff (graffiti). I'll have to go back maybe in a few years: Dec-March. April might be good for spring wildflowers, though not much when I went on Sun 4/5/09. No hikes in the Summer - too hot. Website here: http://www.ebparks.org/parks/vasco

We intended to do the Upper ranch trail but it was being blocked by a herd of cows and were forced to do another trail.

Sorry, I can't remember anyone else's names. Puzzles are both clear and challenging at times, the narrative is very interesting and provokes discussion both during and after, and the prospect of decisions affecting later Chapters is very interesting. One of the most engaging and interesting Escape Rooms I've ever done. Although you might find cheaper Escape Rooms out there, Off the Couch Games offers a more unique experience that I think definitely gives you plenty of entertainment for your dollar. I eagerly await Chapters 4 and on. Only room for improvement I can really say is signage. If you miss the banner and front door on your way into the parking lot, you may get confused, especially at night.

The staff does a really good job introducing you to the game, providing context, and giving an overview of the rules. Additionally, they mentioned that we'd receive a discount off our total based on how quickly we finished, which was extra encouragement for us to get through the game. You immediately get immersed into the game before even walking into the actual room and once you're in Occam's Apartment, it feels even more real. The room itself is well decorated, with nice details scattered around the apartment. I loved every minute of the escape room experience and felt challenged throughout the time we were there. We did ask for hints throughout our time there and the answers were often given through directional questions. What I liked most about the Off the Couch set up is that the escape rooms are all a continuation of a storyline, so it makes you feel invested in the experience. I'm looking forward to the next escape room!

This was one of the first escape rooms I did with a live actor and that was a game changer at the time a few years back.

It was fun and one of a must-add to your Morty list!
