    Omescape - Sunnyvale

    • Escape room

    Top 2 room for me. Puzzles were non-linear and very diverse. Lots to do at once, so groups can split up. The puzzles really meshed with the theme. I’d recommend this room to anyone.

    A classic from Omescape Sunnyvale. Pretty high tech with lots to do. Definitely go with a group of at least 6 unless you’re experts. Very non-linear. The mall theme was very well incorporated. I’d recommend this room.

    The Escape Game San Jose

    Another solid room from The Escape Game. Theme was cool and I liked the tech incorporation. Good for beginners and intermediate escape room artists. A bit on the easy side for veterans, but still good puzzles that benefit greatly from teamwork. I’d recommend this room.

    Studio Escape

    This was my first escape room outside of the US, and it was on the 11th floor of a high-end hotel, so I didn’t know what to expect. We were met by Edd, the owner and gamemaster. One point he made is that the room was not just an escape room but also immersive theatre and to pay attention to the dialog. Doing so added a nice cherry on the top. The room was in perfect English. It was clear it wasn’t a translation of a room that was originally in Japanese. I’d say the puzzles weren’t the most mind-blowing, but that was OK because the puzzles blended in with the theme and you really felt like detectives trying to solve a mystery. And there are a couple the surprises you really need to see for yourself. After the finale, Edd graciously explained the background of the room and his thought-process behind it. I’ll be trying to figure out how to visit his other rooms before I leave. If you’re in Osaka, give this room a go whether you’re a beginner escape room artist or a veteran.

    This is one of LOST Taiwan’s better rooms. The puzzles were on the difficult side and the room really felt like you time traveled to old Kowloon. Bring someone who can speak Mandarin because the intro and clues are only given in that language.

    I liked this room because the island theme was pretty unique and most of the puzzles meshed well with it. The room was a bit on the easy side, but there were enough puzzles to keep it interesting. Make sure to bring a translator if you can because while the room can be completed with only English, the intro and clues are given in Mandarin.

    This room has the classic art heist theme. Most puzzles were pretty predictable, but it did have one or two that were unique. One thing I didn’t like was that it was possible to “escape” before completing all objectives. It’s worth giving a shot, especially for the price. NB: the room is advertised as being available in Mandarin and English, but hints are only given in Mandarin so bring a translator if you can.

    This room was OK. The decor was cool in the first room but after that, it didn’t quite fit the theme. The puzzles were all over the place and rarely flowed with the theme. While all of their rooms technically can be done in English, the intro and hints are given in Mandarin. I’d recommend some of their other rooms first like the island themed one.
