Four of us had our first escape room experience here two days ago. We didn't beat the room, but had a great time trying! The room was quite challenging. The owner was informative and helped us with clues along the way. All four of us had a great experience. read more

Really fun time! We took our 15 year olds and had a blast! The room and the ambience was very authentic. It was challenging but with help it was very very manageable to solve. There are really interesting clues and the room was great. The owner Joe was equally awesome. He was funny, very helpful and went the extra mile to give helpful clues or tips. We sadly didn't escape the room in the hour but Joe came in and allowed us to finish. Great guy, great place to bring your friends, your family and even kids. Highly Recommended!! We will be back! read more

Took our team here. The theme for the escape room was great. We had a great time, puzzles were really challenging. Unfortunately there were a couple items that weren't reset correctly so owner had to come in to help us past that. Looking forward to going to another escape experience soon. read more

Hands down the best escape room we've done so far! Decor was amazing and there was a really great mix of logic and physical puzzles. The hints given were helpful without giving away too much, so that figuring out the puzzle was still satisfying. We all had a really fun time, and I can't wait to see what else JAR comes up with! read more

What a great Escape experience! Our family of four (kids are 8 & 11) had such a fun time today escaping from the Fallout Shelter! The game was challenging, creative and very well done. The host was friendly and let us play the game giving us clues as much or as little as we wanted. I've done 4 other escape rooms and this ranks near the top. Loved that it was intriguing & clever without being scary or gory! read more

I am fairly new to escape rooms and I had a great time in this one!!! I went with a group of 3 people so it was fairly challenging. There were many puzzles and riddles for a larger group to get in on the action. We did use a handful of hints and Joe did a great job at hinting and not just giving us the answer. We can't wait to go back for the upgrades and the Christmas special they will have in December. I highly recommend to check this escape room out!! Great staff and great riddles!!! read more

A new escape room in rancho cordova, and another fun one in the sacramento region. Only one room so far, a post apocalyptic fallout bunker theme with some well detailed props and solid puzzles. It is scheduled to soon release an updated version of its current room with some if its quirks fixed. Well priced at $30 bucks per person and a steal with a groupon. Will definitely visit again when they have a special christmas themed room in december. read more

We had a great time here today! Joe, the owner, was very friendly and helpful when we needed hints. While we struggled with finding certain things, we did make it out of the room without TOO many issues. After we finished the room, we hung around to keep talking and had a great conversation about escape rooms. While the room isn't as techy as some of the other rooms in the area, that didn't take anything away from the ambience or the difficulty of the room. read more

Extremely engaging and puzzling. I could tell that one of the owners was very passionate about the escape room experience and was super knowledgeable about the subject. This room is family friendly and accessible to all! For being only their 3rd week open, they are definitely well prepared. Had a blast! Duck and cover! Get ready for Nuclear Fallout! :) read more

Just went to my first escape room and it was a great experience. Joe was funny and engaging and the clues were thoughtfully laid out. Definitely would return to this location! read more

What an amazing experience! We had some family visiting from out of town and they had done an escape room before, but me and my husband had not. We were a little skeptical going into it, worried that it wouldn't be challenging enough or that it would seem lame. However, once you get into the room you immediately get into the zone and just go for it. We were able to solve the puzzles, which weren't hard to solve once you knew all the pieces. Searching for clues was really fun and working together to figure out the riddles was fun too. When we got stuck Joe would help us out with another clue and didn't just tell us the answer. He was super helpful when we needed him and would help point us in the right direction. The theme wasn't a scary or horror theme, which my husband appreciated. Afterwards we chatted with Joe for a bit who seemed very excited and enthusiastic about the escape room. He let us know when he will be changing things up a bit and we will definitely be back. Also, we used a groupon for this event but had trouble redeeming it on their website. We called Joe the night before our event and he called us back quickly scheduling our event. Great customer service! I highly recommend you make a visit here! read more

Had a great time in this challenging room. The puzzles were clever, simple enough to perform, but challenging enough to make you scratch your head. Our host was terrific: great sense of humor, good motivator, great entertainer, and helpful along the way. Thanks for a memorable night! read more

This was an amazing experience. The creativity was wonderful. I can't wait for their next room.

I've done 4 escape rooms now and one thing sets this one apart: You are allowed to complete the room even if you don't "escape" in the allotted hour. I don't know why more rooms don't do this (they probably just want to get the next group in to make mroe money). Definitely recommend. read more

Our family of 4 went to JAR Studios on our staycation. Each of us had been to escape rooms before, including twice each for the (young adult) kids. This was by far the toughest escape room any of us had encountered! As long as you don't go expecting to escape, but appreciating the challenge of the puzzles, you will have a good time. As many others have said, Joe is great. Overall we had a good time. read more

The owner was so friendly and the room was great! The puzzle was difficult, fun, but not so hard that we wouldn't have been able to solve it (eventually.) Didn't get out this time, but will definitely come back! read more

We had such a fun time with our group and the owner was really nice and supportive. We highly recommend this escape room to anyone with kids or even for just a bunch of grownups or friends. Thanks for a great time! read more

We visited Joe's escape room last night and have to say this was the most challenging escape room we have ever done! That being said, it was so fun and Joe is an amazing host! He is so passionate about the room which makes the overall experience a step above the rest. Not sure if we could have escaped (only 3 of us) without his help! Looking forward to returning for Halloween and Christmas! read more

I would agree with all of the five star reviews here. The owner is very genuine and excited about but he does. The escape room itself is well thought out. It was a bit above our experience with Escape rooms, being only our second one. However the owner host gave us great Clues and made the experience very fun and entertaining. Strongly recommended. read more

This escape room is one of my favorites the I have been too! My cousins and I made a last minute appointment but the owner did an outstanding job and was very nice. I definitely recommend this place for people doing an escape room for the first time. read more

Came here with a group of 8 and we had lots of fun. It was my first escape room and it did not disappoint. Challenging and puzzling. I would highly recommend this place. The owner was super nice and helpful. Looking forward to their future projects! read more

We had a group of 8 for this escape room and we all had a great time. It was very well done, the puzzles were fun to solve and we only got the amount of help we needed. We almost made it out! Only 25 seconds over the hour. Lots of fun, definitely recommend it. read more

What an awesome experience!!! We surprised our friend for her birthday and truly had a blast. Joe is so pleasant and funny. He made our time so enjoyable. Definitely recommend and we will return for sure. Thanks Joe! read more

Really fun experience! Joe and his wife have created a great room--and are terrific hosts. They are very friendly and work with all kinds of groups. They give personalized service and hints if needed! They want their customers to be happy and we were. Highly recommend. read more

We selected a Christmas room that was really cool, and very challenging. The guide is very passionate about the rooms. Had a fantastic time! read more

Amazing escape rooms. Joe is the best!. Would recommend to anyone and will be back again in the future.

This is a great escape room. Took my 14 yr old here with friends and they had a great time! Puzzles were difficult but the owner was there with clues and even went in to the room to assist when they were completely stumped. He also allowed them to go over the time limit and complete all the puzzles. Very welcoming environment and all rooms are ada compliant. read more

We have tried many escape rooms. This one was at the top! Joe was such a great host and his room was very challenging but very engaging. We loved that it really made us think, and work together. I highly recommend this room. It is exciting that Joe changes the rooms after a time, so it is an all new adventure every few months. Great job Joe. We will be back. read more

Since this was my first time in an escape room I have nothing to compare JAR Studios to. I went with a group of friends for my birthday and had a blast. It was definitely much harder than I expected! The owners were very friendly and continually checked in with us to ask how we were doing. While we did not escape within the 60 minutes, we were allowed extra time and ended up escaping after a total of 80 minutes. I highly recommend this escape room. My only complaint: we arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation only to find the main business door was locked. We couldn't see anything through the windows so we didn't know what to think. We decided we'd wait around a few more minutes until our official reservation time then the owner finally opened the door to let us in. Since the escape room isn't in the best part of town I wasn't too happy about having to stand outside for 10 min. But overall it was a great experience and I would definitely go back in the near future if they have a different themed room. read more
