Exit Strategy Games

I came here with a group of friends from work past & present. This was the first time I had gone to this particular escape room and I've done one other escape room at a different place previously. We did The Butcher's Torture Chamber, which was a hard difficulty room and I will not spoil it for you, but it was great! For this particular room, you need to be able to communicate well with your team. That's all I will say. We finished with less than a minute left! Chris was our game master and made the experience fun. We did need a little help here and there but overall it was challenging but very well thought out. Some additional things they ask that you leave your items in a locker, taking pictures is not allowed (I didn't risk it!), they will take pictures of you after you finished the room. The rooms have cameras so the staff are able to assist you and make sure you have a safe experience. I will absolutely be back to try their other rooms!

Although there are several escape room spots in Sacramento, we decided to test our intelligence at Exit Strategy Games in Elk Grove. We had planned to be in the area, thought the Santa's Workshop would be fun for the kids and they had great reviews.We were two families of 4 with the youngest being 3 years old and oldest being 13. We arrived a few minutes prior to our stop time as requested and met our host Calidah. We took a few minutes to use the bathroom, lock away our cell phones, talk about safety and then the fun began. We were debriefed and entered Santa's Workshop. We had a slow start as it took us a while to figure out where to even start but finally got things under way after a hint from Calidah. She kept a good eye on our group keeping us on track and even diverting the kids to help with another puzzle while us adults patiently worked together to figure out another. The puzzles varied in difficulty. There are some that are straight forward while others require a little more thought, memory and recognizing things around the room. We managed to escape the room with 7 seconds to spare. Calidah congratulated us and took a few photos of us that were emailed and texted after. The price is right, we all had fun and the kids are looking forward to returning for the Squirrel and Wizard rooms.

Exit Strategy Games put on a super fun and Christmas themed escape room! A group of 10 friends went last night to challenge ourselves to their escape room called Noel's Nutty Christmas. We arrived 15mins early as instructed which gave us time to use the restrooms, put our phones and bags in a locker, and sign the mandatory waiver in case we hadn't already. I noticed right next to the waiting area is the control room where the gamemaster's hang out, watch us, prompt clues, and scold us or give clues if necessary while people are in their escape rooms.We were greeted by gamemaster Gigi and told we were just waiting for our escape room to finish being set up for us. Once it was ready, Gigi escorted us to the entry door and gave us a brief introductory story to the room we were about to attempt to solve/escape from and set some basic rules. Gigi brought the energy and the subtle humor and we were led into the room! We watched a short animated video on the TV in our room that set us up to understand our mission and then the timer was set to an hour and we were off to solving puzzles!The room was decorated very well, immersing us into the story in a life-like way. There were many locked boxes to discover the codes for, a door to discover the lock code for, and other mathematical and artistic puzzles for us to solve along the way. It was a very fun journey that definitely required the effort of our whole group. We were given two clues throughout the hour that were displayed on the TV which helped us advance and although we had the opportunity to ask for clues from our gamemaster through an intercom, we never did. We solved the last puzzle with about 16mins to spare and as we were beginning to celebrate, our closing gamemaster, Tony came to congratulate us. He was impressed by our problem-solving skills throughout the game and said he enjoyed watching us. Humble brag, he said he thought we solved the game the fastest out of any group thus far! Lastly, Tony took three group pictures of us in the room and let us out for the night. There were shirts and themed stuffed animals for purchase on our way out.Exit strategy Games was such a fun experience - definitely would recommend and I want to go back as well!

Recently did two rooms at this location because we had a relative visiting. We started off with their spy vs spy--which we really enjoyed, and their wizard room. Both rooms were entertaining, and we enjoyed our visit. Shout out to our game masters Chris and Mike (I think that was their names, sorry if it isn't). They both throughly explained our games and made us enjoy it even more. Enough to where we ended up signing up for another game.

My 8 & 11 year old did the Wizard School one with 2 of their 11 year old friends. They did it completely on their own and beat it with 1 minute to spare! My husband and I trusted the staff and they were amazing! We were able to just sit outside in our car while they did their thing. We came in about 15 minutes before they finished and we could hear them laughing and getting a hint from their attendant. It was adorable and they had a blast. My 11 yo is now obsessed with escape rooms and keeps asking to do it again! Will definitely be bringing her and her friends back again.

It was a great night out with friendsUs girls learned to work better together as a team. The staff was Great and very helpful. We will be back for another night of strategy

Just finished Woodbury's Wizarding School! Had a great time. Super fun puzzles and effects. Michael was a delightful game master. Highly recommend!

Went for my 4th time this weekend and it was great! We played a Christmas game (when it was almost February) but it was actually shocking how fun yet challenging it still was! Each game so far the challenges are all really different and creative. I haven't lost a game yet- thank you and Shout out to GameMaster Michael.

The game was horrifyingly awesome Celidah was an amazing game master and made the game so much more fun

The Woodbury's Wizarding School was so much fun! We had five kids ages 14-8 and the puzzles were a perfect fit for them. The room was a generous size for our party of 9 and our host Tony did a great job keeping the game moving along. We will definitely recommend our friends to do a game here, the room was really well done!
