Escape Folsom

Best Fun With Your Pants On! (And A Mask, Cause Covid n' Sh*t)SITREPAdorable friends Bambi and Kristen were PISSED cause their more formal Bday Dinner parties were being pushed down cause of covid and friends' concerns.Enter "Escape Folsom" who provided a more engaging social interaction for those of us willing to take the risk with the Spirit & Heat of the 1800s 49ers Miners and Saloons!THE SETUPThe whole idea of escape rooms is to put together a small group of people - ideally about eight (8)? - and give us some basic cryptic instructions on how we escape a room / wing of a building / structure.Some of these clues were MORE than cryptic. We were thrown into what looked like a bar from the 1890s in Old Sacramento. Old Register. Old timey phone. Old bar tops and stools. And yet some more modern items like a cigarette machine and a jukebox from the 60s.* Any string of numbers we saw could be a clue, such as the numbers we spotted on the telephone and the jukebox;* Any weird box with a number lock hold a clue if we could just unlock the lock;* And repeating songs we heard containing digits could hold the answer too.It took a some time trying to figure out what numbers went to which locks, and which items needed to be unlocked in sequence with reference to the other items.Yada Yada Yada, we DID IT! With 8 minutes of our hour left!THE BAREscape Folsom's bar is legit. Post up. Grab a drink while you wait for the rest of your crew to show up. Or even host a quick birthday - like we did - for our friends Bambi and Kristen when we finally finished our escape - in their comfy bar nooks and rooms. GOOD TIMES.THE LOWDOWNEscape rooms are a fun way to engage each other with some energetic conversations and some *highbrow* puzzle solving!Escape Folsom is a great diversion on a hot day!

This place gets five stars not just because the escape room was a ton of fun but also because Pip and the bartender on staff (I forgot his name I'm sorry!) we're truly some of the best service staff I've ever interacted with in my life! We had an escape booked through two friends who had babysitter delays and then their car broke down on the way over, but Pip couldn't have been more understanding! He offered a later reservation time and after getting everything figured out with our friends, offered to run two escape rooms at the same time so we didn't have to sit around for multiple hours and could just go when the other reservation was going. The bartender also gave my boyfriend a free beer after hearing us on the phone multiple times trying to work out the plans with our friends lolAs an experienced escape room player I thought the room was also great! Not too complicated and not too easy with fun puzzles and a great theme! Thank you to both Pip and the bartender you guys seriously made the entire day and we're excited to come back and try the other rooms you're building!

First time here to play trivia with host Jason. We loved the vibe and atmosphere. I've played trivia at other establishments but really liked the format here! Music is played after each question which may have a hidden clue to answer!! Very interactive and sooo much fun!! Great food and many beer Taps and full bar!! This may be our new local hangout spot!!

Chose this place for our team building event for work. There were 14 of us and we split into two rooms. Both teams had a lot of fun and really enjoyed working together to figure out how to get out. Sadly, my team didn't escape but our other team members did. We didn't eat but we did drink at the bar prior to entering the room. The game master Phillip was a great host and game master. Planning to come back here again with my family to do the other room that I didn't get to do. Thoroughly enjoyed this and can't wait to do it again!

Whether you're going for the escape room, or you're ducking into the bar, Escape Folsom is great. There's a delicious coffee shop hidden inside too, and Sunday afternoon features challenging pub trivia worth playing. The bartenders are friendly, there are tables inside and out, as well as seating at the bar. Don't like the idea of being locked in an escape room? Let your friends or family do it while you wait in the bar with food and drinks. The food is great too -- a step above pub grub, and very tasty.

Came here to check out the food and bar area, we plan trying the Yager's Tap House room, when we come back, this trip was all food and drinks.Now we like to eat so we had a large verity of the menu, started with Grilled Mushroom Sliders, Pulled Pork Sliders, Pesto and Tomato Flatbread, Both Sliders we tried each Fries - Loaded Fresh Fries & Escape Fries, and lastly we had the Escape Butcher Board. The Pulled Pork Sliders - Seasoned slow roasted pork, house-made sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, white cheddar cheese, pickles toasted brioche. Grilled Mushroom Sliders - Balsamic marinated grilled cremini mushrooms, Monterey Jack Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Balsamic Aioli, Toasted Brioche. Escape Fries - Shoestring potatoes, bacon, roasted garlic, parmesan cheese, garlic oil, chives.Loaded French Fries - Shoestring potatoes, blue cheese, bacon, blistered tomatoes, green onions, sweet chili oil. Pesto and Tomato Flatbread - House-made basil pesto, white cheddar, blistered grape tomatoes, fresh basil and parmesan cheese, mixed green salad, classic citrus dijon vinaigrette. Escape Butcher Board - Assortment of cured meats, hand-crafted seasonal fruit, almonds, house made crackers. Also the owner or one of the mangers had the Dozen Mini Donuts, and was so kind to share with me and my boyfriend however I did not let the boyfriend have any they were too good - Can not say no to Mini Donuts. Everything was excellent, it's a great place to just hang out for a few bar sneaks if your not looking to try and escape the rooms. There is however two different rooms right now, the Yager's Tap House, and Escape the Prison, word is the Yager room is the harder of the two so if your looking for a challenge then you may want to choose that option. I cannot wait to try the Yager room and have a great time with friends, Challenge accepted!

A little hidden place in the heart of Folsom! I got the Brussels Sprout Hash!!!! Only $8 and delish!My husband got the slow roasted Tri Tip Dip $13 and worth it!

This is my new favorite place to meet friends in Folsom! We can grab a bite to eat. Enjoy a craft beer or glass of wine. They even have two escape rooms with three more on the way! Did I mention that they are family friendly? The bar staff is very friendly and made my 6-year old son feel right at home. I would suggest getting 8 friends together and trying both escape rooms. One is a very detailed jail and the other is an 80s bar. (No spoilers, good luck.) We talked with the owners and can't wait to see the other three escape rooms they are working on right now. Book your escape room at www.EscapeFolsom.com ahead of time to avoid finding out when you get there that they are sold out for the night.

We ventured into Escape folsom last night and had a blast. We were in the prison room and while I won't give any pointers or secrets away, it was well designed, well layed out and pretty damn hard. We had 5 adults and 2 kids and were about 15 seconds away from getting out, In fact, I had said the final clue outloud when the clock hit 0:00 the game master came in and looked at me and said "you had it right". I was pretty mad! But happy my family got through as well as we did. It's great seeing the old Yagers being used in such a fun way, can't wait to go back. The staff that helped us were top notch, the game master was helpful without giving away too much and very accommodating to us in and outside of the room. Definitely something to get some adult friends together to split the bill and have a good time. As they add more rooms it will be super awesome, as id be afraid this is a 1 and done experience for adults as they will simply remember how to get out, if the rooms are not ever changing. Do not hesitate to get in there and check it out, you won't be disappointed in the building, the rooms, or the experience.

This review is only for the food and bar, haven't had a chance to do one of the rooms yet, but hoping to one day! Came here with a group of friends for trivia night. The place gets packed and is pretty lively. They have a full bar and some really good Mexican food! I ordered a few tacos, carnitas and sweet corn, and they were both delicious! The tacos came as 3 small street tacos so you definitely want to order more than one if you're really hungry. Friends tried some of the other taco options and a few quesadillas. Everyone was really happy and enjoyed their food. Will definitely be coming back for more food, fun, and trivia!
