Palace Games has discovered another secret inner-sanctum within the walls of the Palace of Fine Arts. This mysterious attraction premiered at San Francisco's World’s Fair in 1915, but was then immediately condemned for reasons unknown. After an arduous restoration effort, Palace Games reopened this secret marvel of the 1915 fair. We've yet to uncover its odd purpose. Are you bold enough to solve the mind-bending mystery of The Attraction?

Wow, probably the best escape room I've ever done. Very thematic and so fun! The puzzles are imaginative and adds to the theme. Also very high tech, there were definitely moments where I audibly went "Wow". Less puzzle heavy and more about the story.

This room was loads of fun and easily made it to my top 3 rooms ever. Set design, tech, story and puzzles were all well integrated and thought out. It was an experience from start to finish and I look forward to doing their other rooms.

No time limit! You play until the experience ends. High tech with fewer puzzles than many rooms, but you will see why. Still, plenty to puzzle in this 2-hour experience. Give this 'room' a shot!

I don’t know where to start to explain the unique complexity of this room and storyline. The entire experience was truly genius. This is on top three of 120 rooms completed. It’s also in such a unique snd historical building located on gorgeous grounds. Our game master Erin Aaron was so helpful and patient with us and was our game master each time we came back to do all their games in a week. It was nice to have the familiarity.

Very impressive set and technology for the game and puzzles. Story was a bit weird and puzzles seemed easy when compared with other escape rooms at Palace Games.

FANTASTIC! Words can’t do justice to the marvel that is The Attraction! This absolutely pushes the definition of what an escape room can be, and exceeded all my expectations. It’s what would happen if you combined escape rooms, video games, and a Disneyland theme park ride and crammed it all into one theatrical masterpiece event. While there are puzzles, the ultimate focus is to progress through the story. And the game will do everything it can to make sure you complete it. The room adapts to your group size, and it provides hints without the need of a game master to tell you what to do. We had a group of 2 and finished under 2 hours! Technically, there is no time limit, so you can soak in the sights and enjoy. Again, witness this for yourself. It’s too magical and emotional a journey to pass up! Loved every single second!!

So fun!

Gameplay was nice. It was less on the puzzles and more on the technology as the group travels through space. There’s no time limit which makes it less stressful. The space game in between stops was amusing and fun.

This game was a strange mash up of very different rooms, some better than others. There is no β€œtime limit”, they tell you just to expect about a two hour game. Like Edison, there were puzzles that had to be done over an over. One particular puzzle has to be done 9 times. And honestly, none of us really understood the solution to that one. There were some very neat elements to this game and some puzzles that we found fun and clever, but there was also a lot of extra stuff that could have been left out, imo. Between this game and Edison, choose The Attraction.
