We all loved the hunt & i would do it again & recommend to everyone. + points: 1. Generally this is designed for corporate events but Dan designed for a small group like mine & i would say it was reasonable for such an out of the box idea. Dan

I have coordinated two team builds at HoG…read more The first was 4 years ago for 50+ guests. We had the "strolling meal" which worked out perfectly for our group as we wanted to keep the energy high. It was a hit! We had a competition and our chefs were fun and took our competition seriously. Our guests talked about it for days. Today I returned for a smaller team build for 11 guests. Because it was a smaller group we had a seated meal. Our chefs were engaged and very knowledgeable. It was a beautiful day and our guests were very happy, we really needed this. I am 100% confident with HoG. They do an excellent job of accommodating allergens and dietary restrictions. They are also very fast with their communication which I appreciate, especially for this most recent team build as we had less than 1 week notice!

Kaz, the instructor, is passionate about the art of sushi and so willing to teach and share what he knows, with kindness. Thanks Kaz for the amazing time!

If you've ever wondered about how to make or just love eating sushi (that's me!) then this is a fantastic opportunity. you get to practice a lot and take home rolls with you to share with family/friends or eat all of it yourself if you really want to!

I loved the way this class was formatted - learned a lot and had so much fun! Not to mention, the wedge table is so cute. We each made one and now have two for our home! I would definitely come back here (we've already talked about booking another class) and will be recommending this for team builds for work events as well as fun outings with friends and family!

The best Escape room in San Francisco! So immersive and fun!…read moreWe took the family and everyone enjoyed it (although not the most interesting for very young kids). I'd say the Edison room is my favorite so far. The thoughtfulness in clues and gags are amazing!!

Very concerning experience…read more (Understandable) We visited Palace Games recently and were instructed by staff to place all personal belongings in a designated basket area before entering the game. The basket was located outside of the game room and remained out of our sight for the entire duration (~2 hours). (Incident) After the game, we discovered that a wallet valued at $1000+ (including cash and multiple cards such as ID and credit cards) was missing. Based on the noticeable weight difference before and after, we were able to reasonably determine that the item went missing during the game time. (Their Action) We requested assistance immediately and asked to review surveillance footage. Initially, we were told that the footage would need to be "retrieved through a third-party vendor" and that we would be contacted later -- however, no one followed up. The following day, after multiple attempts to reach them, we were informed that the "vendor was unavailable (PTO) "and the footage could not be accessed at this point. Later, a manager called and stated that there is no recording at all (⁉), only live monitoring on site. When we asked for confirmation of this and whether we could document the conversation, the call was abruptly ended Subsequent attempts to follow up have gone unanswered. Additionally, on the game day, we felt rushed to leave immediately after the game ended, even though our scheduled end time was 4:00 PM and it was only around 3:45 PM at that point. This made it more difficult to properly check our belongings around the game area. We followed all instructions provided by staff, yet there appears to be no secure storage, no accessible review process, and no clear accountability when something goes wrong. Their responses were inconsistent and changed over time. the incident has NOT yet been addressed at this point. We are sharing this experience for transparency regarding how personal belongings are handled and how incidents are addressed. Update: The owner has reached out to us, apologized, and showed us the available surveillance footage. The footage only covers the lobby and hallway areas and does not include the room where personal belongings are placed, so it was not possible to determine what happened. We appreciate the follow-up and the owner's sincere attitude. However, this situation highlights that the designated storage area for customer belongings currently has no surveillance coverage or secure storage. We hope additional measures (such as lockers or better monitoring) can be implemented in the future to prevent similar incidents. While we acknowledge their efforts to address the situation, we are keeping our original rating to reflect our experience.

On the day of the party, they had 5 people at our home helping with our group of 22 children, and it was such a smooth, fun, creative, under-control party. The jewelry and tie-dye kept the kids engaged, all of the workers were very helpful and organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

It is a true test of team building and communication. The facilitation at the start was great. It really spoke to what I wanted my staff and me to get out of it. And the debrief was on par as well. It fit in nicely with the theme of our day long retreat. Besides fun it was educational on an individual and group level. I would totally use them again to facilitate for one of our student groups or even with other cross campus partners. Thank you!!
