OMESCAPE

This place is great. Kinda in an industrial looking plaza but has a very home like and welcoming environment. Went with a group of friends and had a lot of fun solving the puzzles and escaping the room. Great for double dates or just group fun! High recommend this to anyone who have always wanted to try an escape room! You will not be disappointed

Very fun. We tried out the Jokers Asylum and the puzzles were very clever. Lots of parking and the staff was friendly.

The escape room Jokers Asylum was a fun new experience that I would recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried an escape room before. It’s was a great bonding exercise for me and my brothers because it required us to work together to accomplish a fun and complicated task.

Just did this for my first time with my wife and some of her friends, and I gotta say that it was really AWESOME! The staff was really friendly and the puzzles were super interesting. Definitely a brain challenger but not anything crazy. I would recommend this place to all of my friends.

Really fun experience. The Kingdom of Cats was the perfect mix of difficulty and mechanics.

First time player, Great experience!!! They have different levels to choose. We played the Kingdom of cats. A little bit challenging at the first few minutes, but getting more and more excited after we became familiar with the logic. Great room settings and lots of fun! Feel like I m Sherlock, hahahaha… Will definitely go back there for other rooms!

Saw this place from Unilocal and came on a weekend. This place definitely is a five-​star experience! From the moment you stepped in the room you can know this is something different from other games you’ve ever played. Teamwork is crucial at this place. Everyone needs to throw in their ideas in solving the puzzles and don’t afraid to try different ways to hopefully make the puzzles work! The staff was very nice and gave more than one hint if you’re stuck for a long time to help the game going.

OMESCAPE provided an experience that was satisfying and overwhelmingly exciting for the whole party. With everyone rushing to find new clues and solve puzzles, all the while communicating with each other for assistance and about discoveries, there was never a moment of silence where everyone was not trying to solve the next problem. Even for an entire group of beginners, their hardest room «Joker’s Asylum» presented a manageable puzzle that everyone was able to contribute to regardless of their lack of experience with these puzzles.
The staff was very welcoming and accommodating with our needs and helped us in whatever we needed. While we wanted to solve it on our own, the puzzle proved to be much better than we were (that and we asked a few questions that turned out to be useless and irrelevant, using up our hints limit), they guided us through with subtle hints and expertise without spoiling any of the answers or overtly give away any important locations.
The premise was very neat and tidy, with the rooms being very clean (including the lobby). The lobby itself also had nice small puzzles and board games to keep yourself busy while you wait for your party and warm up your mind for the much more difficult challenges ahead (I actually found that one of the puzzles outside made me think about the way to obtain the solution for one of the challenges). Overall, it’s a great place and I would recommend it for all ages. Hopefully they’ll have more exciting rooms in the future too.

kingdom of cats-​17^th escape game, woo out of losing streak!
we needed this win after losing the last 2 escape games, which was from scrap. this game was so much fun!
jokers asylum-​18^th escape game
wow, they weren’t joking this was pretty darn hard.
our group is split up into 2 grps, so team work and communication is very key here!
dark alter-​19^th escape game
this was a pretty fun game like the cats one but a little harder. we barely escaped with about 2 min remaining
current record: 14 and 5

It was my first time here along with the same squad I do escape the rooms with. The lobby of this place is very spacious and cool puzzle games along the sides of the wall and plentiful seating. They currently only have 3 rooms available but as we were leaving they said they will be having 5 in the near future. I did the ‘Dark Altar’ room and it was very hands-​on and interactive. The cool thing about this place without giving away any spoilers is that the transitions are pretty darn awesome. My friends and I had a great time as the puzzles were challenging but also made logical sense. We will definitely be doing the other rooms they have to offer.
I’m sure you want to know if we escaped or not… unfortunately we didn’t. I am writing this Unilocal review inside the room still trying to figure out how to get out. It’s almost midnight, help.

My friends and I had a really great time in the Kingdom of Cats escape room this past Saturday. If I can offer any advice to future players, it would be to not ignore the line in the description that says: «Dress and high heels are not recommended.» I ignored the part about the dress and was definitely not as nimble as I could/​should have been. No, you’re not going to be running hurdles or anything, but pants and sneakers are for sure the way to go.
While this was my first escape room experience and I can’t compare this to any other place, I’d say that Omescape deserves 5 stars and has become my standard. I was able to book four spots online well in advance of my friend’s birthday. As others have mentioned, it’s great that they cap the groups so that you have enough brains working on the puzzle, but not too many people that end up trying to pull the group in different directions.
Your GPS might take you to one parking lot, but the sandwich board signs will lead you to another lot just one entrance ahead. You’ll know it’s the right place because of the «Omescape» banner hanging outside, haha. The team members working up at the front will have you sign in and give you an estimate of how long it’ll take to reset the room, etc. There are plenty of spaces to sit down and a plethora of board games. The waiting area was so nice that I jokingly told a friend that we could grab boba and just come back to hang out, lol.
We ended up being joined by another couple who were really friendly, and all six of us (the maximum number for Kingdom of Cats), were led into a small room where we watched a cute video clip providing a context and storyline for the game. The guy who was helping us out gave a walkie talkie to a friend who volunteered to be the group leader, and asked if we had any questions. We were all eager to start, so he showed us some lockers where we could store our things (no cell phones allowed!), and we all headed into the room.
I don’t want to spoil anything for people who are heading here after reading all of the great reviews, haha, but I will say that it’s a fantastic way to spend an hour with friends. I’m not sure I’d throw myself into this by myself with strangers. Being able to have rapport with people and getting your communication styles down beforehand probably helps.
We ended up emerging one minute past the hour, and having received a number of hints from the people there (hence the team name: Team Hint Plz).
If we didn’t already have dinner plans, I would’ve turned right around to try the Dark Altar game. The Joker’s Asylum looks really good, but at Level 5 in difficulty, I might try to build up confidence with other games first. Thanks, Omescape, for a really awesome experience!

Great place for family activity! Kids will love Kingdom of Cats. Cutest room design ever! Kid’s creativity and imagination can help your group immensely as well! Will definitely come again for other rooms!

I had a blast at this escape room. I’ve done 20+ rooms, and this room had some really unique, inventive puzzles! I loved that there was a guiding narrative. This room really felt like a journey. I also appreciate that Omescape caps the room at 6 people (for this particular room, at least). Too many escape places try to cram up to 12 people into each experience, which really takes away from the fun.
This room would be great for escape room beginners. It was challenging enough, but also very clear and linear.

This place is so good. I’ve been to a few like Kuma and scrap but this place definitely knocks it out of the park. I came on a weekend evening and parking wasn’t an issue. The place was big and there were plenty of tables and chairs for you to sit around and play games or just talk while you wait. The puzzles themselves are well designed. Only issue is that the room that I went to was slightly linear. So everyone was working on one puzzle essentially. But it was fine since the room was meant for a small group anyway.

First time here! The experience is really fun and I will recommend it to at friend. The puzzles are creative and interesting. I will definitely come back again for another escape!

Lots of fun puzzles! The staffs are really helpful ! Tried both kingdom of cats & dark altar & will absolutely come to the new room when it’s ready

We visited this place for Kingdom of cats theme, it’s a great place, perfect service and venue for a group party, tricky but reasonable puzzles, all rooms are well equiped with modern triggering chanllenges, will definitely visit again!
Strongly recommending for a group of 4 – 6.

This place is the BEST! Bring your friends and family here, you won’t regret it!
I played their «kingdom of cats» game on Friday afternoon. It’s so much fun, cutest game ever. The room is full of surprise. So be prepared to laugh and have lots of fun. We had a team of 2 guys and 3 girls. We were all fascinated by the puzzles and logics in the room. It’s definitely not about numbers or math, there are a lot of more could happen than you can imagine. I can’t spoil the fun for you, but I highly recommend you come here and give it a try. It’s the best experience you could get in bay area. I have been to 5 – 6 escape rooms in LA, Bay area and NYC. Omescape is so far the best!
一定要来这儿玩“猫的王国”, 里面很多超可爱超酷的惊喜！我们组是两个男生和三个女生，游戏很好的覆盖到了我们每一个人。每个人都有可以参与解题的地方。如果你喜欢玩逃脱游戏的app，那一定要来体验下现实版！比电脑手机游戏有意思多了。因为每个地方都有可能藏着打开下一扇门的“钥匙”，要靠好几个人的智力和协助才能一关关闯下去。小朋友也会特别喜欢这个主题， 很推荐来这里过个难忘的生日party或者team reunion. 这里的工作人员也非常亲切友好，看到我们卡住了，也会主动联系我们，给予我们引导。但仍然给我们更多想象空间，不会打扰到我们的进程。 我会计划下次过生日来这里过，邀请朋友们在这里一起玩会很好的增进感情。 强烈推荐。
如果不想网上预约，可以随时打电话来check档期。如果错过了，还能够reschedule. 总之就是非常的flexible。

Really nice real room escape! We played Kingdom of cats and really enjoyed it! The game is well designed and the environment has been carefully setting up. You feel like you are really into the story and you are really exploring something in a magic world:-) Staff is super friendly and helpful too. We are planning to come back and finish all 5 rooms and we highly recommend this place for group get-​together!!!

A great real escape location. Highly recommended for gathering with friends and family. A awesome thrilling experience. We got second place on the Dark Alter room. Try to beat us when you come. Our team’s name is TASHELA. We will definitely come back to play other rooms when they are open.

Well built room with high tech feature. We did «dark altar» room and it was challanging and fun. Also we successfully get out and made to the leaderboard, awesome. Definitely will go back for other rooms.

Awesome place! Good to spend spare time with family and friends! High tech puzzles make us feel smart lol! Gotta be there and challenge yourself! We are in Dark Altar and it was amazing! And we escaped finally with ranking of 2 in history! So much fun!

Fantastic real room escape！I feel smart today！Challenged high tech puzzles, just spend your spare time here. We are TEAM TASHELA!

Our group tired kingdom of cats. We had so much of fun! The puzzles designed is genius. Love the décor as well! We just keep talking the game afterwards. Definitely will come back to try other rooms!

I’ve never done an escape game before so I was pleasantly surprised at how fun it was. We did the dark alter room. Given that it was our first game, we probably should have done the easier room first. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible. I was really impressed with how well the rooms and puzzles were put together — we plan to go back soon to do the other rooms. It seems like a great family activity too.

Our group played the Dark Altar game. It was a lot of fun, even though we were unable to escape =(Lots of different types of puzzles are required to escape, so it’s great to have a larger group.
The staff is very friendly and the lobby area is a great area to hang out in before or after your game. They have many board games available to play too. It’s a little confusing to find the location via google maps, so be on the lookout for A-​frame signs directing you to Omescape.

I have played all 3 rooms in Richmond location which are highly recommended!
For the new location-​San Jose, I did kingdom of cats and dark altar. (They planned to have 5 rooms but only these two are ready now) The cat theme and its decorations are really adorable, and this room is their level 1 in this location which is a good start for beginners. I’d recommend it to all age players, from young kids to elder people. The puzzles are very well-​designed, fun, and creative.
Compare to Cat room, the Dark Altar is much more challenging! This room required must at least 4 players to play (it’s not just because of its difficulty but the puzzles require this amount of players to complete certain parts.)
Overall, both San Jose and Richmond locations have the best escape rooms. Looking forward to their new rooms!

We have done the three rooms from this company in Richmond and all had creative themes, challenging puzzles and AMAZING effects! (Electronic doors, lasers etc)
The new San Jose location is EVEN BETTER and the Cats Kingdom puzzle was so much fun! There is currently only one room open and I think the second one opens up next week. Although they say they only give one hint, they were generous and gave us two small nudges before our actual hint. This was necessary because if you haven’t done any of their puzzles from this company before, the puzzles are much more challenging than your average escape room.
We even brought my 7 year old daughter and my 6 month old daughter. My only downside was that I had to pay full price for my 7 year old which I didn’t think was fair. (Other companies allow 12 and under for free).
We will be back when the next 4 rooms open up!!!

Location is near Costco. Great team building opportunity and very friendly staff members. Parking is very spacious. Rooms are quite exciting. Max is generally 5 – 6 people. Call ahead time. Review to be entirely completed later.

I got a beta test position last weekend. It was an extremely wonderful experience here. I played cat kingdom room. Not only the storyline and puzzle are good, the decoration is also fantastic! They have a lot of amazing mechanic things inside. The owner said this store will have 5 themes and all are different with their Richmond store. I really look forward to other themes!

I have already explored all three games in OMescape at Richmond, those were amazing, and once I knew they opened with new themes down in San Jose, We were super excited and drove down to play, we all enjoyed the great experiences, and honestly, this place never let me down.
