Alien Zoo is an awesome room! So much fun. We love this place over a different place we tried because of it's personable feel. Each room has it's own story and a host acts in character to enhance the experience before you go in. The other place we tried had more of a commercialized less personal feel, which detracts from the appeal. It had two of the same room and we were brought back with another group and talked to with them before going in. The hosts didn't get into character and it made us feel less important and like they were just trying to get more people through. We have done three of the rooms at EscapeOut and they allow the ability to call on a phone for clues/help. They are always very attentive, whereas the other place we tried we ended up waiting for a response and they weren't knowledgeable with what we're asking or what we've already accomplished...all which is stressful when time is of the essence. As well, the other place limited the number of times you can ask for help and then will deduct time off if ask for more. Another important reason we prefer EscapeOut is you get the room for one price as opposed to paying per person. This way you get the room to yourself, without having to share with strangers. For four people it comes out to the same as if we paid for four people at the other place, but if the room can have up to six or eight, there is a chance of having to share with others. Paying one flat fee for the room is a MUCH better system for us as we like to do these as a family. The room at the other place was still very fun, but we really prefer this place as the overall experience is...
   Read moreMy family and I just had a new experience here at Escapeout in August of 2020. We were honored to try out a new room themed to Master DaVinci. By far this is the best room we have tried so far. Having run the gamut of rooms spooky to fantasy and in different venues, this room is the most satisfying. Terrific puzzles, themes and ideas for an entire group to work. Our family ages 13 to 67 found it highly entertaining with plenty to solve. The lighting was atmospheric but easy to see about to work on our tasks. Our Game Master Angelica is the author of the room and quite well she did knock this one out of the park. We could not come up with anything to be critical of. On difficulty, combined minds of a team will find this very satisfying hitting on all the points most would expect from an escape room. Perfectly weighted with the right amount of difficulty as not to be annoying. The inexperienced may find it too difficult but the sheer amount of eye candy in the room will keep them engaged till the bitter end and I would expect them to be excited even if they failed. (We did not fail...just saying!)
This room is not yet open to the public. Keep an eye out if Escape Rooms are your thing! When it opens book your experience as fast as you can! Escape Out follows all Covid 19 regulations. Masks are required. The room experiences are private. Staff dissinfects the rooms between each experience. We felt very safe while we escaped. 11 out of...
   Read moreHighly recommend this escape out in Folsom. If this is your first time or inquisitive to find out what occurs in the escape room. Oh, it feels like you are on the survivor show but in reality you are locked in the room instead of the woods. Here’s my personal experience: First you choose the room for example, the lab, ritual or sorceress. We decided to explore the Ritual room. Before you set your feet in the room, they ask you to surrender your belonging or put them in the locker. It’s a personal choice as well but you are not allowed to use phone or devices inside. Then they will set your mood by giving you the history of the room, what to expect in terms of rules, safety precautions. They are super funny and for the ritual room, they make it sound you are going to perform actual ritual. In addition, they make you sign a waiver, you will be responsible for damages to props or anything in the room. So you are locked in a room with family, friends or coworkers and perhaps strangers. It’s a great place for team building or challenging your mind. You will need to work as a team to figure out how to solve the problem under one-hour time-frame. You need to be quick in thinking and move fast to solve the puzzles. As you walk into the room, you will notice a desk, furnace and a few cabinets. These rooms are mind challenging, so don’t go drunk. Escaping the room requires team effort.
I'd highly recommend this...
