Breakout Studios — Local services in San Jose

The lobby is nice, and the puzzles are nice. The staff is nice, and welcoming. The lobby is very well decorated and I also like how it has a theme. Kinda like a time traveling theme? Before going into the room, you are put into a time machine and you travel back in time to complete your mission. It's a pretty cool touch I think.

UPDATE!: 6.10.2021 We just did Hacker of Silicon Valley. Apparently, it's marked as easy(easier) than the other rooms, but I really disagree with this rating personally. I think it's way harder than the other two rooms that we did. However, the set quality is very high, and the room is decorated really nicely. It also has features which make the experience also very interesting. The puzzles in this room focus a lot on observance and math (there is a calculator in the room that can be used though). Personally, I didn't really like all the math puzzles, but that's just personal opinion.

OUR EXPERIENCE: Our family struggled a lot, and we didn't escape. We had like 1 or two puzzles left. This room requires lots of good communication and good collaboration which is something we lacked in this room. So come mentally prepared to work together. Our family spent a lot of time trying to work on different things, so we lost quite a bit of time. I think this room would be good for 4 adults maybe? I'm not sure. In conclusion this room requires lots of good collaboration skills and organization.

These are the reviews for the rooms we did in the past, I think I didn't write a review for them before.

The rooms itself are very high quality and the puzzles have a good flow. So far we did the Father of Silicon Valley and the ASI room? (I forgot what it's called at the moment of writing this).

The ASI room is a smaller room, considering that the set is supposed to be a jail cell. It's technically 1 room, but the room is divided into one side of the cell, and the other side, which is not the cell. We did it with four people, 2 kids (11, 15) and 2 adults. We escaped with only a few seconds left to spare. Luckily we solved the last puzzles fast, and got out in barely enough time. I personally think it's a fun room. Even though it's smaller there's pretty of puzzles to solve. My family really liked this room, especially the flow of the puzzles.

Review for Father of Silicon Valley: (This one is my favorite!) This room requires lots of observance, the puzzles seemed to be much harder than the API one. The puzzles don't only require using brain power, but also observance and looking for items in the room. The second room is a pretty big room... We also did this room, and we didn't escape. We were on the last puzzles than the timer ran out of time. We did good on a majority of the puzzles, but there was this one puzzle that was really difficult. I think this room is good, but I would say perhaps bring someone who is somewhat good at...

I have done all the Pleasure of doing all the rooms at breakout. Each room was designed so well, they were all challenging in their own ways. But each one was so different from the next, the story lines were amazing, I never walked into any of the rooms and though they were similar to the other. Puzzles, locks, and everything in the middle. I loved the W.O.R.M. It was one of the rooms where I was able to figure things out a little easier, bit every room prepares you a little more for their hardest room. Time breaker challenge, wow, that was something else, listen to when they tell you the minimum amount of players, I’m glad we did.

I have a 16 and 14 year old daughters, during Covid they have been bored and with online school their brain stimulation has been stiffened. When I saw how much they enjoyed the rooms, their problem solving skills were on point. Too be honest my 16 year old was the only reason we got out, don’t tell her though.

On top of it the staff was amazing, the family who owns it are some of the nicest people I’ve met in awhile, they like to get feedback. Clara is so caring and personable, to me in this day of age, you rarely find that, and I prefer that type of business.

I’ve done a lot of different escape rooms in the recent months, I’ve never been to a place that has such a beautifully designed space. I remember walking in thinking I was on a Hollywood set, they did a great job. The price point was just the same as any other escape room too.

I highly suggest going. It’s only your group in the room too. They never have you cross paths with other groups for safety protocol.

Just well ran.

Thanks Clara for being so kind to my family.

This is Tammy by the way, we loved the experience with your newest room and are grateful for being...

"This was our first Escape Room experience and we loved it. My son has done a few in Boston and we wanted to try it and my birthday gave us an excuse to try it. This was a good team building and bonding experience with friends of ours as we had to learn to communicate and collaborate on the challenges. We tried the most difficult one for the first time but still felt exhilarated that we could complete it albeit with some help in critical steps. I would say that having some help initially especially for first timers is important as it can make the difference between a great experience and a not so great experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. We will...
