I absolutely love the Red Door Escape Room franchise, and the Rancho Cordova location did not…read moredisappoint! Their rooms are always incredibly immersive, with puzzles that actually make sense, flow well, and deliver those amazing "wow" moments Red Door is known for. I've completed all the rooms at the Concord location, so I had to venture out to try a different one. My siblings and I chose the Taken room, and it was both challenging and a ton of fun. The difficulty level kept us engaged the entire time, and the experience felt exciting from start to finish.

2 stars = "could've been better". Not saying it was awful but:…read more1) For a group of 4, they should provide more than one light source in the dark room we were in. 2) This was my first escape room experience, we were in a 9/10 difficulty room, and there were many combination locks involved. Probably more than 25 locks across the different scenes. One of the combination locks had letters so worn away it was very hard to read, so we spent 10 minutes with what we thought were the correct letters, only for a staff to point out that we had it on B when we all thought (4 of us looked at it) that it was on R. The paint on the B was worn off so it looked like an R. I told two staff about the letters being worn away, and neither of them seemed to care. Had they just said "Thanks for letting us know, we'll look at getting a new lock" that would have been good customer service. There is another review here mentioning "apathetic staff" and I think that's exactly what I experienced. Staff should inspect those items, in the dark as customers experience it, to see when things are worn out so as not to be readable. Not being able to see or read the objects should not be the challenging part of an escape room. Replacing a $5 padlock is better than a customer having a bad experience (with the room and with the staff) and never wanting to come back again. Overall, again this was my first escape room experience, but when the puzzles almost entirely rely on combination locks, that to me doesn't seem very imaginative. Granted it's not easy to find all the combinations, but it gets kind of boring keep figuring out letters and numbers for the sake of opening locks. If I ever do another escape room, I'll probably try it at a different business.

Joe, was a fabulous game host. You can tell he is super passionate about what he does. He was able to give us good hints to get us forward and finish the game. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!

Best Fun With Your Pants On! (And A Mask, Cause Covid n' Sh*t)…read more SITREP Adorable 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 SETUP The 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 BAR Escape 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 LOWDOWN Escape 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!

When I called, I was told it's best to make a reservation & pay ahead of time due to how many boys I had, but I decided against it and took the risk because I'm not generally on time, & luckily, it worked out! He even gave the boys a little extra time while us adults finished up with our session- which we decided to get on after seeing all of them! It was overall, a great experience, with a really nice host. Photos: are all from one side of the room. There is another side, which my siblings & I were at. As far as "booking a party" I would advise against it. I didn't book a party, just showed up as soon as they opened (10 people total). Had the place to ourselves, gladly. But I did peep in the 1 room they called the "party room" & it's a haaaaaaaarrrrd pass. The other reviews here on Yelp about to party room area are accurate af! That's all I will say about that .
