Fun arcade themed escape room. The owners are passionate. Good customer service. Cool props.

Code Samurai at Escape The Arcade
Philip F.

I'm an escape game aficionado and have done 200+ games, and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated "Code Samurai" at Escape The Arcade. The game was clearly developed by escape game enthusiasts who are passionate about bringing forth their own story, art, puzzles, tech, and game design, and it's all packaged into a unique experience. The place has a cool late 80s / early 90s cyberpunk anime back alley arcade vibe that's both nostalgic for older crowds and flashy and energetic for younger crowds. The game itself is suitable for people of any age and has an entertaining in-game hint system. Beware of R.O.N.I.N.!

This is the location across from the building and the escape room name! :)

Parking: Easy, Open free…read more This place is a total vibe. I love that they set the mood and really have quite a bit of space for people. I came here to play flip 7 and chameleon. My friends and I agreed it's a great place if you want to go and try out some games before purchasing elsewhere. I love the setup. It's so chill. You're able to bring outside food and drinks. You're paying $8 as admission which isn't bad at all since there is no time limit. Check out their website. All in all, I would definitely come back

Me and my husband have been to Nevermore Game Club multiple times now, and are now monthly…read morerecurring members. It is an amazing place for board and tabletop game enthusiasts to hang out and play games. The ambience is fantastic. The themed room that are available for rent are also quite nice. We have since formed a rather large group to go here regularly. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful in whatever you're playing if you need help. The fact that you can also bring your own drinks (as long as lidded) and food is a huge plus. They do sell packaged snacks and drinks, but no full meals if you want to stay for a while. There's Thai, Chinese, and Taco Bell all within walking distance if you need a full meal. There's also regularly scheduled events almost every night and weekend. It's such an amazing place, and super LGBTQ+ friendly also. The store and merch they sell are also cute. All in all, I'm so grateful for this place to be in Riverside. We've made many new friends already and can't wait for more.

Enter Escape Room - The Accused

The entrance is hard…read moreto find (I missed it a couple of times) but the location is conveniently next to a coffee shop. If you need an extra pep in your step before a mental workout, parking and food are all there. Booking online was seamless for us and our group ended up doing all of their rooms here in one day. Service was top notch and we met their owner Sam, who shared with us his vision for the different rooms. Our other game masters, Patrick and AJ, were so kind and told us what they enjoyed watching from our collaboration together. That is what I love about our local escape room businesses - you can really feel the love in every design and prop! The rooms were all different and this is the order that we did them in. Enter the Jungle Enter the Dark Wizard's Pursuit Enter the Twisted Trials Enter Wonderland Enter the Dark Wizard's Pursuit ended up being my personal favorite but all of them had such unique themes and puzzles that they could be stand alone experiences and I would have had a great time. My least favorite would be Enter Wonderland just because of one specific dexterity puzzle, but I believe the game has a system where they give you enough time to "productively struggle" before they clear you to bypass this and move on to the rest of the room. They offer to take your photos inside the room and they also explain puzzles in case you were confused about certain parts. Overall, service, production value, puzzle flow, and theming definitely makes this place a must-visit all the way to Riverside in the Inland Empire.

We had a Blast!! I didn't even know there was a such thing as an Escape room!…read more My daughter wanted all of us to go for her brother's birthday and paid for the adventure, "Enter The Dark Wizard's Pursuit." I love the fact it was private, so only our family was involved. We didn't have to share our time there with people we didn't know so that made it even more fun! Honestly, I wasn't super thrilled to go at first and just wanted to stay home. My weekends are made for relaxing after working a 9 to 5 job through the week. But man I'm so glad I let her talk me into going! Gamemaster Patrick really brought it all together and made our visit such an enjoyable and memorable one! He kept us on our toes the entire time and was such a big help when we were stuck. He also gave us a few laughs throughout our adventure! We wouldn't have been able to figure out the puzzles and riddles without guidance from him! He is the best! He gave us the best 60 minutes of real fun and enjoyment! I was a little worried we wouldn't figure it out but together, we did and with 5:56 seconds to spare! This place sells out fast so don't wait until the last minute to buy your fun adventure! We will definitely go again! We had the best time ever! Teamwork made the dream work!

I love how all the mini golf courses…read moreare themed around famous landmarks from around the world And the glow-in-the-dark concept always adds that extra touch of challenge and excitement haha There are about 27 courses total, which I think is a really good amount and makes the whole experience feel worth it. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you visit during a busy time, you might end up waiting a bit behind the group ahead of you before starting the next hole. But overall, still such a fun spot to come to with friends!

We were greeted by energetic staff who asked us which package we would take. Naturally the 24 hole golf is included and decided on the escape room option. There are two options, one alien themed and the other pirate themed. We went with the Alien 51 themed one since the pirate one was in use. After a short video we had a 10 minute time limit to solve the puzzle. It's quite straight forward but quite a thinker at times. We were able to solve it with little time to spare. Me and my friend had a great time figuring it out and will gladly return to see the other offering down the line. Onto the main course, the mini golf! The courses are laid out in a way that guides you along each hour in order. Each course has its own theme ranging from a Dia de Los Muertos themed one to one with the great wall of China serving as a ramp. It was definitely a vibe and we had a blast. Some holes scale up in difficulty while others are quite straight forward. Overall this was a great time and excellent way to spend time together with a friend.
