    Next-Gen Escape is perfect entertainment during COVID times. FULL DISCLOSURE: I won a free game at an event so this review is based on that game. Next-Gen is an escape room. With COVID, they've moved to a virtual/zoom model and this crate model. I was contacted by email and a date and time for drop off of my game. I had no idea what to expect as I'd never played an escape room before and didn't understand how it would be played at my home. I was intrigued! At the appointed time, a masked employee arrived with a giant crate with two folders on top. (I was assured that the crate and it's contents had been cleaned.) One folder contained signs to use at the end of the game. I was told to start with the other folder. The first page listed very brief instructions with links to a timer and to a power point of the clues. It is best to play with at least one laptop and. We also used our phones but it also really helped to have a bigger screen everyone can see. I'm not going to give any more specifics to ensure I don't give anything away! Overall, this was good fun whether there's only two people playing or a group. I thought the level of difficulty was good, none of the clues were "easy." When you're tired of regular game night and what to elevate a bit, try these guys - emails were always responsive and they were on time for drop off and pick up. Highly recommend.

    Excellent staff and a wonderful experience for an 11 y/o birthday party. We did the lodge room and had a great time. Perfect level of difficulty with well-thought-out puzzles. Looking forward to trying more rooms and escape crates. Thank you Next Gen!

    Global National success!!

    What an experience! My boyfriend and I have done many escape rooms, near and far. Our time here at Next Gen was incredible! We tried out the King's Keep room and were blown away at the level of immersion and creativity put into the room. The tech was top notch, and much better than anything we've seen in Fresno. We had an absolute blast. They offered us a special deal to do Global National following our success in King's Keep, and of course we said yes! I was shocked at the depth this game had. It was incredibly layered, well thought out, quirky, and definitely challenging. We had to think deeply to get out of this one, but ended up succeeding with about 9 mins to spare. It was an outstanding experience overall. The game master was professional, friendly, and super fun! We will absolutely be back to do Clancey's Lodge and whatever else they dream up!

    Came here as part of a bachelorette party and had such a great time. The staff took great care of us and even let us do an extra escape room since we finished ours so quickly and another group had cancelled! Thank you for taking great care of us and for the great time!

    We made it! #teamdanger

    This place was hands down awesome! The entire experience was enjoyable, our guide Zack walked us through everything and was on point with the tips and clues. Kings keep Was our first time trying out the escape rooms and this was a perfect experience for newbies. Definitely worth a second time around, still have two other rooms to Try out!

    After a very stressful couple of work weeks, my husband surprised me with a visit to the Rage Room…read moreso I could let out some frustration. I so NEEDED this. We were greeted upon arrival and the guy explained the rules and safety. We were suited up with goggles, a protective helmet with face shield, latex gloves with thicker gloves over them. Make sure you wear long sleeve shirt, comfortable pants and tennis shoes. The room had mounts so we could record ourselves, and we were able to play our own music without hearing other groups, which made it even better. The space was clean, well ventilated. We were given 20 minutes, but we managed to break everything in the two crates within about 14 minutes. That left us plenty of time to use our "weapons" on the tires and release even more stress on the dummy using our fists and legs. My husband did end up getting nicked by glass. The staff member gave him an alcohol wipe, gauze, and bandage. But he was fine. We had such a great time that we asked about group bookings. One room accommodates 4 people and the other two can hold 2 people each. This would be an incredibly fun event to host. Highly recommend for stress relief!

To Justin, who came in on his day off and made us feel so welcome (especially with a few Band-Aids after we went a bit hard!), everything was perfect. This was exactly the kind of team-building experience we were looking for! Fun, energizing, and honestly so cathartic. We had a group of five ladies and did the 15-minute session, and let me tell you, those 15 minutes were perfect! We're already planning our next visit to the rage room with a bigger group for an after-work event! Thank you again rage room Fresno for the great time!!!!

    ...because I parked in their parking stall reserved for those who would rate them 5 stars!!! LOL…read more... that and they deserve it! This place was fun for both kids and adults, no lie. If your body still has working functionalities and you are willing & able, you'll enjoy it-- we did! I did hurt myself a couple times but it was worth it. We went there to celebrate my friend's daughter's (3rd) birthday. We had people of all ages with us ranging from tiny toddlers to the grandparents of the bday girl! I'm pretty sure grandma on the dad's side had the most fun-- she even showed me up on the zipline! This place was huge and there's so much to do, drained our energy for sure. From what I noticed, the staff was pretty good about bringing everything my friends asked for and very attentive about our food & drinks. I can't completely speak on this part since it was not my party and I didn't have to worry about anything (always nice). Aside from getting kicked out of the room eventually (timed slot) everything went by smoothly-- then we went off to play for the remaining time we had. There are free storage lockers to keep your personal items in-- love that. You get socks for your playtime visit (pretty standard everywhere I've gone that's similar though). There's a food counter you can order pizza and such from... & they keep the place clean and as sanitary as they can (I noticed staff cleaning frequently). Just wanted to note that along with the sign that I parked in front of, there are 3(?) others that all say different things... my niece and I had a good giggle! Very funny & clever. Anyway, yes, I recommend!

    It's been years since we've been to Dave and Busters, and the first time ever in town. It was…read moreactually in San Diego that we first went before the one in Fresno was built. So yeah, that long. I'm on vacation this week and didn't want it to be a stay-cation. In fact, I was hoping to get away for at least an overnight trip. I was thinking, Santa Cruz, Tahoe, Lots Angeles even. I shoot my ideas over to my wife and she says, I was thinking Dave and Busters. Clearly we were on different pages. But I understand where she is coming from, and as you can see, her idea won out. We don't tell the kids where we are going. They just know we are going somewhere for lunch and that it's a surprise. We pull up and my youngest says, I've always wanted to come here! We drive past it every week on the way to gynastics so I shouldn't have been surprised. The older kids barely remember going to D&B as kids, so it's a treat for them too. We walk in and we get the biggest gift ever by a guy with his boys walking out. He has an all day pass that he wants to give to us. We can use it for tickets, but the games will be free. We come to find out that there is a 30 second freeze on the card in between uses, but we learn to adjust. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We order our food, ensuring that we order from the menu where we can get a game card. Best bang for our buck. I got the crispy chicken sandwich with Buffalo sauce. Three of my kids got cheese burgers and my wife got the wings. Everyone enjoyed their food. What my son and I really wanted was the Buffalo chicken sandwich that comes with blue cheese, but it didn't come with a game card. In addition to the free all-day card we received, we ended up with 4-$10 gaming cards, but those go quick! Like, 15-20 min. Mostly by my daughter playing games that earn tickets. My oldest is more interested in skill games. There's one in the middle where you step on lights on the ground or touch them on the wall. We did that one as a family. Lots of fun. We spent about 2 hours there. I'm sure the boys would have stayed longer if they could but my daughter was winding down. Before we leave, we pass the all-day card to another family. Let them benefit from it too

We ended up buying credits anyhow but part of the reason we came was for free plays. On to the review. The wings were crisp and flavorful, with just the right amount of sauce. We had bbq, sweet chili, and garlic parm. The wings were even good with no sauce. We also ordered the pretzel dogs and tower of nachos. The dogs were so good. The seasoning on the pretzel was amazing, the hot dogs were delish. The tower of nachos was a miss for me personally, but the other parties enjoyed it. It was so loud due to it being Super Bowl but everyone was really well behaved and had fun!

Reservations were easy to make online and when I had issues and questions, the owner was very kind on the phone. During our session, there was another group that walked in so spontaneous fun was possible too. However, our game master was preoccupied so communication was slow during the game. I personally did the "Lost Treasure of Atlantis" which was labeled as hard difficulty. While the room was doable, I was disappointed in a puzzle that was uncalibrated. This issue resulted in the entire group being stuck for several minutes despite solving the puzzle. The room was formatted in a linear manner so our group of 6 felt very cramped. However I was impressed with the technology incorporated in the latter half of our escape. The room was very dim and there weren't enough lamps for each member of our team. It also didn't help that one lamp died 10 minutes in. The screen and speakers were clear. However our game master took several minutes to get back to us. Hence if you need a hint, wave for help immediately because assistance won't be immediately. The celebratory signs were a bit weathered and smelly. Hopefully these signs can be updated to reflect the themes of the rooms and be laminated to prevent the styrofoam deterioration. The experience was worth the $30 price tag but some changes needed to be made for it to be great.
