Came here with some friends the other day after a movie. We’d always walk by and say we’d try it out someday and we decided why not?? Anyway, we ended up having sooo much fun. Would 100% come back again. Ariadne hosted us and made the experience a 10/10.

Our group was really struggling and couldn’t escape the room, but our experience was saved by our delightful game master, Pooja. She was also kind enough to direct us to nearby restaurants and gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner after our crushing defeat at Red Door Escape Room.

Game: The Relic 3/5
Game Master: 3/5
Staff 4/5
This is our 3rd Red Door location. We have completed all the 60-minute games at San Mateo and 1 game called Survive in Vegas. Las Vegas's Red Door also had 1 room only games just like the Emeryville location. Even though it was 1 room, it was still an amazing game and really fun room.
Check in and booking on the website was easy. When I called the previous day on the phone, the staff was also very helpful by phone. You can buy 20% vouchers for next time after your game.
We decided to attempt their hardest room here with the 2 of us, The Relic. We gathered ourselves for about 17 minutes and solved a few things before we asked for our first hint. We got really stuck on one very meticulous puzzle and could not move on but the game master did not notice that we didn't solve it yet and when we press the button 3 more times after, he continued to give us the next hints as if we solved the initial one. This set us back 15 minutes because there were items we needed earlier that we couldn't acquire from the puzzle we were stuck on. The two lanterns provided were flickering in and out or not bright enough to see the number locks well. On a different puzzle, it also took 2 tries to have our game master understand where we were in the puzzle solving. We did end up escaping because once we actually got the hints that we needed, we solved everything quickly after with a few more hints.
Not the best designed room, I can't recommend it. It ruined our experience when 1/3 of the game we were stuck because the game master was either handling multiple rooms or not paying attention to what we were asking.

My daughter and 5 of her friends went to Red Door Escape Room for a birthday party, and their team member Rev helped us, and we Escaped! It was a good time had by all! Thanks! One of our kids was a bit scared of the "Survival" experience because it is all in the dark, but in the end, we all had a great time.
