Lots of fun. Has some scary moments. Puzzles aren't the best. And the story line is not well integrated with the puzzles.

Group of 5 friends did Dead N’ Breakfast. The event space is SUPER spacious. Loved the snacks and being able to chill in the room to play Nintendo Switch games. So we got to experience all 4 rooms. The Courtyard has to be one of my top 3 fav escape rooms. The Elevator Shaft was okay, I feel like maybe a max of 4 players would be better. Having 5 in the space, I felt like not everyone had a chance to do puzzles. Or that could’ve been user error. The puzzles are incredibly interactive and the prop design is great. Loved our hosts Dani, James and Elias. James had the loudest scream and really scared me LOL.

This was honestly the best escape room I’ve ever been to. I didn’t finish the whole experience because I got a bit scared, but I was super impressed. The effects and set design were amazing, it felt like walking through a Hollywood movie set. That said, the puzzles didn’t always follow clear logic. It’s more about the atmosphere and immersive experience than solving things with your brain. If you love highly logical, puzzle-driven rooms, this might not be your favorite. You’d probably prefer escape rooms in NorCal. But if you’re looking for a cinematic adventure, this one is a must-try.

Had heard nothing but amazing things about this location and its rooms so I had to check it out! Once we made it inside (if you know you know) we were welcomed by the friendly staff. My group decided to do The Basement room which apparently is the best idea because this locations rooms all follow a storyline from one room to the next. No spoilers for the room itself but very fun and engaging puzzles with a FANTASTIC live actor inside! My group barely made it out of the basement with time to spare and we enjoyed every minute. So much so we asked to do another room right after. Luckily they had room for us to do The Courtyard so we jumped on it! Again another amazing experience and room with detailed and fun puzzles with fantastic live actor! BARELY made it out of this one too! Long story short if you like immersive and story driven escape rooms you need to go here!

I freaking loved every second! I did things I never thought I could. Best bachelorette party ever! I'm telling everyone to go for the full day Dead and Breakfast experience! So much fun doing all for rooms back to back and the party room was really big. We played video games, Foosball, ping-pong, ate, and listened to music! The rooms were better than I expected. Definitely check this place out!
