The room's challenges vary based on the size of the group, which is so cool and shows the tremendous thought the founders put into this place. However it can be frustrating for people if you keep losing when you think you figured it out! Or when you haven't figured it out and just keep losing without much progress (yeah I'm talking about you, Seahorse game!). The front desk was manned by Tim who is super nice and really cares about your enjoyment of the games. He'll offer you a hint if you really need it. On the way, he didn't explain where we fell short on 1 of the games we were struggling to crack. We played 47 times during our session with 4 people in the 1 hr 45 mins! We will definitely be back with friends!

Treat those that come in with better contact and don't lie about delays by your lack of time management !

We had an incredible experience with Jason Stropko at his glassblowing class in Alameda! There were…read morefive of us, and at $600 for a four-hour session and a hands-on craft experience that felt truly special. Jason is a fantastic instructor -- patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his craft. We each got to make a vase, a whiskey glass, and an ornament, and if you worked efficiently, there was even time to make a second piece. What made the experience even more memorable was the little touches Jason added -- he brought water, oranges, and chocolates to keep everyone fueled and happy throughout the session. It's the kind of thoughtfulness that shows he genuinely cares about his students having a great time. Jason has his own studio in San Francisco where he sells wall sconces, amazing high end pieces and teaches out of the Alameda location,m. Whether you're looking for a unique date night, a group outing, or just something completely different to try, this class delivers on every front. Highly recommend!

I worked with Nikolai to plan this event - he was both professional and very quick to respond to all communications.
