Reviews for The Escape Game San Francisco: Movie-Quality Escape Rooms for every Group Adventure

This was such a fun escape room. We did the gold rush type room. It was very fun. Rowan at the front was so helpful and even helped us find a trinket so we could get into a speakeasy down the road. Such great service and the room was set up awesomely.

We've been to several The Escape Game locations around the country and always have a good time. We visited this one last week to do the exclusive Alcatraz room. We managed to escape! Our guide was great and we also had an excellent time chatting with the new manager there. Everyone is very friendly and there to help you have fun. The Escape Game rooms are well done and have a nice balance of difficulty. I like how they require you to think but they also make sense. The puzzles aren't weird like I've experienced at some other places.

What a blast! We had a group of 4. All first timers. We were smiling and solving in a frenzy. Our Game Host was fantastic - providing timely clues so that we struggled, but didn't spin our wheels. We all agreed that it was the most engrossing 1hr we'd had in a while.

Ashley was a great game master, and Rowan was so helpful in getting our larger party scheduled! Highly recommend this location!

Charlotte was really amazing and gave us really helpful hints when we were stuck. She knew when we were stuck and knew when to give us hints. It truly made the experience satisfying than frustrating so if you come and go to the escape room look for the charlotte.

My girls and I had the best time here. We did the Gold Rush, and Amber — being the friendliest and sweetest host — guided us throughout. We had such a great time and are still reminiscing about those moments

I visited a few weeks ago and am still reminiscing. What was supposed to de a day trip to San Francisco turned into a full day doing Escape Games! Bryan and Elio were incredibly welcoming and helped personalize our visit. Bryan also stayed late to allow us to squeeze one last game in - plus gave us a tour and let us nerd out afterwards! We can’t wait to visit again!!

The playground was super fun! It was a lot of moving around, but it was cool getting all the puzzles. Daniel was such a good host!

First time escape room experience. Didn’t know what to expect but this was an AMAZING experience and so much fun. Management here is great!!!

family had such a great time at the Escape Game at Fisherman’s Wharf. So much detail and thoughtfulness went into the design of the escape room and the puzzles to unlock the game. Bryan was our game guide and explained everything clearly and even gave us a sneak peak into other game rooms to get us excited for our next visit. This is my second game with Escape Game in two weeks and I will be on the look out for all other locations for a fun special game night for my family when we travel and when we’re home! Such a great time.

Ashley was so helpful and made the game so much fun! Check in was a breeze and she was available for all of our questions. Prison break was amazing! Highly recommend The Escape Room and especially Ashley!

Devin was awesome! Escape rooms are top tier Update: we went again after our wedding and the folks at Escape Games were just the best. The kindness they showed us really really touched us and will forever be an amazing memory. Thank you so much! We will be coming back!

amazing time doing the heist! Daniel was very friendly and made my boyfriend’s birthday a fun day. Will definitely return, we had a great time thanks Daniel!

Incredible escape room games. Aaron and Bryan were so friendly and really hyped up our experience. The rooms are immersive, interactive, and creative with their puzzles with good difficulty. Worlds of difference between escape rooms that are just a lot of lock and key. Became my favourite!

Have been back multiple times! So fun and immersive. Its satisfying completing the difficult challenges. Really enjoyed the atmosphere that Priscilla helped create.

Came here with a couple friends the day after my birthday for a lil celebration and mystery~ Safe to say we had a GREAT time! We overall had an awesome experience including memorable interactions with the staff (shout out Syran <3) The Heist room didn’t stand a chance against us though 🤞🏾

Elio was a fantastic host for our adventure in doing the Prison Break - Escape from Alcatraz game. We were running late but Elio made sure to accommodate us. The game itself was thoughtfully laid out and had us working separately but in teams to solve the puzzles. We were challenged and also got some great laughs. It was a wonderful experience.

Timeliners was awesome!!!! Theme was novel, tech was outstanding, and the game flowed well. Shout out to our game master Mykah. Update 3/22 - Gold Rush is a blast! Perfect for our family with multiple teenagers. The puzzles and challenges were creative and novel, with an engaging linear flow. Thank you Dani!! Escape from Alcatraz was also super fun, splitting our group into two adjacent rooms to share puzzle clues. Also immersive and just the right amount of challenge for our experienced crew. Well done! Thank you Elio for helping us celebrate our final SF Escape Game experience! We all had a blast

Such a wonderful experience with Dan! They were great and had amazing energy, and overall made the escape room so fun and interactive. They even drew us our favorite Pokémon (great conversation by the way).

Place was very accommodating with getting our group into a different time slot. Place was nicely decorated and the game we played was fun. Good challenging puzzles and the game master was always a good help. Thanks Owen!

It was a fun experience with multiple challenges and creative solutions!!

Great set ups and so much fun! Would highly recommend!! Thanks Dan! And hi Dan’s mom! View full review

Had an amazing first escape room experience! Very detail oriented, and the staff made it even more fun! Shout out to Henry for helping us out!

We love escape games! The attention to detail of these games and the complexity is incredible. Great puzzles. We had so much fun! Priscilla was great game guide and her extra attention to the game recap and showing us the other rooms made our experience extra special. Thank you!

The escape room was so much fun and adventurous I’m glad I got to experience the Gold Rush. It had amazing details. “I escaped”🎊🎉🥳

My boyfriend and I have been coming to this specific escape game location for a while and wow are these rooms detailed!! I actually feel like I’m transported to another place! The puzzles are really fun and the staff is so nice! My boyfriend and I always have a great experience here! I even brought my family once! Definitely would recommend these games

Second game at this location and just as fun as the first! The puzzles were intricate and detailed, it's overall such a fun place to go. Also the workers were very enthusiastic also which added to the overall experience

Another incredible experience at another The Escape Game location. The set design for Special Ops was fantastic. The whole team was super welcoming and wonderful to chat with. I had a great time and was able to give a friend his first experience in a proper escape room (after being disappointed at another company's location in the city) If you're shopping for escape room locations in SF, ditch the list and just go here (and their downtown location). They really are top tier in set design, puzzle design, and staffing.

One of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done!! Alex, Sasha, and Priscilla are the nicest and most helpful people ever! I highly recommend prison break

Great time with the Prison Break: Alcatraz game at Fisherman’s Wharf! Wonderful game with complex clues and setup and storyline.

The Escape Game was an absolute blast! From start to finish, the experience was exciting, immersive, and incredibly well run. Huge shout-out to Alex, our game guide, and Daniel, our host — both of them brought amazing energy, enthusiasm, and were so helpful in setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. You can really tell they love what they do, and it makes all the difference. We played The Heist, and wow — the room was beautifully designed with fun, clever puzzles and truly unique clues that kept us engaged the entire time. Every puzzle made you stop and think, and nothing felt repetitive or boring. My absolute favorite was the cork key inside the wine bottle — such a creative and memorable detail! If you’re looking for an escape room that’s challenging, visually impressive, and just plain fun, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back and try another room!

Best escape room ever done! Thank you benji!

Loved this place! Would definitely go again! Service was great and the rooms were cool

We did the Alcatraz escape room and it was awesomeee. It was my first time doing an escape room and we were only two people, so it took us a bit longer, but we still made it out with 30 seconds to spare. The room was really well thought out, it was challenging without being frustrating. The hints were clear and actually helpful without ruining anything. Henri was our instructor and he was very nice, supportive, and added to the experience. Overall, a very well thought out escape room and definitely worth it
