A really great experience here at JAR Studios! Let me start off by saying I have done around 40-50 escape rooms throughout the Bay Area and LA, but this was my first one here in the Sacramento area! I have always wanted to try some here as I heard there were some good ones out here. My cousin found this place on a Saturday night with a booking open for up to 15 people! With our group of 12, we were excited and determined to escape. Upon entering, the lobby is already designed in a way that you feel like you are in the game. In the lobby, we met our amazing game host and owner of the business, Joe! I truly have never met a game host with the same passion, enthusiasm, immersion, and intuitiveness as Joe! He had such great energy from start to finish, he set expectations for us so well, he really wanted to create a really amazing game experience for us in every way possible. THE GAME ITSELF: The game itself was really fun. It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but there were so many different puzzles for the 12 of us to work on and try to figure out. This room is not very linear, but it went well with the puzzles and storyline. I would say these rooms are all 1st gen, maybe a couple 2nd gen. You have your fair share of lock and keys, combo locks, and some keypad entries! With that being said, I think the storyline and room was played out in a way where I did not even think about the tech of the room or even take that into account. The puzzles made you think, overthink, and question yourself enough to just be super determined to finish the room. Obviously I do not want to say too much to give away the room, but I feel like as Joe said, you can be brand new to escape rooms or pretty familiar with escape rooms and still get tripped up on a few puzzles here. We escape with 4 minutes left to spare! My only critiques were the amount of times that he had to come into the room to show us something or make sure something worked. He did warn us in the beginning that some things wouldnt be working right away and played it as being "part of our team" so when he came in it wouldnt ruin the immersion. "Think of me as your NPC" he couldnt say it any better! OVERALL: Back to Joe, he spent some time with us to talk about the room and pretty much his outlook and intentions with the game. For example, the lobby being decorated the way it was, the reasoning for certain puzzles, etc. He also took the time to commend each person for solving puzzles -- he was THAT attentive to our game -- something that you might not usually see at your average escape room. Joe really cultivated the experience for us, and I am glad that we could play his room! I really had a great time here and am looking forward to what updates to the room he might make, what new rooms he might open, and so on! Much support and power to JAR studios!

The best part of JAR Studios is the owner. He's so enthusiastic about what he does , you can't help but have a great time solving puzzles with your friends . He was very friendly and explained so much about escape rooms in general. You can see and feel his passion for them ! Anyway, like most escape rooms , you have to find the clues, to get the next clues, to get the heck out in time to survive. If you get stuck , you can get help to move to the next clue. So did we make it out in time ... nope. But we were close, and it was cool that he let us actually finish the game despite running out of time . Location is weird, but plenty of parking, and it really is a fun escape room . Definitely give it a go and I hope you all survive:)

The front.

I had my reservations about this place, having seen it while shopping at the Galleria on numerous…read moreoccasions. It seems like part of this recent trend of what I consider "corporate escape rooms." From the storefront, it looks like the rooms have pretty high production value. However, I've come to realize that more money dumped into visuals doesn't always mean more difficulty, creativity, or just overall fun. Nonetheless, I was quite surprised by the room my group decided to tackle, called The Heist. In an effort not to spoil the puzzles for anyone reading this review, the main things I want to point out are (1) the puzzles felt really organic and there were times where I felt like was really part of a heist, (2) there were several puzzles that really rode on the edge of what I would consider natural limitations, and (3) all of the puzzles worked the way they were supposed to, and some a bit overly precise. I'll always appreciate precision, regardless of how much it pisses me off in a room, though. My group and I have already booked our next challenge here, and are excited to see what else they have to offer. Highly recommend getting a large enough group together to fill all the spots, since they do allow other people to fill in to reach capacity, unless you're into meeting new people like that. To each their own!

Worth it!! The suspense, thriller, aggravation, and most of all the learning and understanding of…read moreone another during a critical situation! Will be returning for another adventure!!!

We loved every bit of it and will definitely be back and highly recommend for anyone that wants to have some fun with their friends and family.

One of my coworkers put this together as a way to bring a few of us together, and it was the perfect choice. The experience starts with each team picking a name and everyone choosing a fun nickname for themselves on a nametag, which already set the tone for a lighthearted evening. Our game show host, Rosie, and producer, Andreas, were amazing they kept the energy up, explained everything clearly, and made sure everyone was engaged the whole time. We played three different game show style games against another team (who were strangers, but that actually made it even more fun). The games were like classics you'd know think Wheel of Fortune or The Price Is Right but with clever twists and a points system that kept things competitive and exciting. Overall, it was such a unique and entertaining experience. The price was good and we had lots of laughs. I'd definitely recommend it for parties, team-building, or just a night out with friends.

Most of us in some capacity have gone and done an escape room experience, but none of us had been to PanIQ before. After dpimg some research it seemed like this place would be a great spot and it did not disappoint. Befofe arriving we decided to do the "Wizards Trial" experience because: *It looked cool * It's an hour escape room vs the 45 mins ones *It was medium lv in difficulty *We also we a party of 5, and the Insame Asylum is 4 people max The escape room(s) Overall were really fun, and we made it out with about 5 minutes to spare. We needed a few hints in the 1st room, but needed a more in the 2nd. But it was Overall a good time and challenging escape room, with lots of various dishes varying means of integration. Overall: Would definitely recommend, and we look at going back and thing at the Insane Asylum room when we have a smaller group. Pricing was good and they have a 30% discount for weekday visits, and a 20% Military Discount if you chose to go on the weekend.

We've been looking for an escape room with a little bit of scare and this one didn't disappoint.

This particular one had 3 which was great. I also loved that you could bring in your phone and try one the costumes and props! Big plus!!! And thank you Tiana ( I think that was her name) as well as her coworker (never got his name) They were both great! I would definitely come back to try the others
