Their work was done with Quality and speed. Thank you and look forward to our next job.

Great courteous service. Prompt responses and clear instructions. Puzzles were all interesting and fun to figure out. We did the Mars based mission. The rooms were a little worn, but relatively clean. The neighborhood is a little sketch, so just watch out for parking around there. Best to just uber. We had a fun experience and would want to try other themed rooms next time. read more

My group of friends and I were looking for a group activity. What better way to hang with 10+ folks than to do an escape room!? Their website is straight forward - you pay per person and some rooms range up to 20 players!! The room we did was Glitch and it was a storyline based on a microchip company haha. The escape room was quite challenging but team work is crucial and we escaped!! The room was very well thought out and the theme was very well thought out. Highly recommend coming here to do more room. read more

What do you get when you have an escape room with 20 highly intelligent people, many of whom do not know each other? Escaping by the skin of your teeth! Let's get to the take aways from this team-building adventure that I was fortunate to be a guest for: 1) Lead and follow - it's a great setting to practice both of these and especially the one you need to work on! 2) Communicate, communicate, communicate - less is more in this experience and you need to be clear in your communication 3) Diversity makes for a phenomenal experience - it's incredible to be amidst such creative thinkers for solving different puzzles and bringing different perspectives to the table! 4) Divide and conquer - small teams are better to be broken up into at points and allows for you to get to know some of the other people a bit more! 5) Use your strengths and own your weaknesses - you can't be great at every puzzle in the room nor are you expected to be! 6) Have fun - at the end of the day, this is an awesome opportunity for many people that know and don't know each other to come together and enjoy an common hobby or experience...this is 100% a health-related opportunity! 10/10 recommend Reason Future Tech out in the Bay Area if you are looking for a team-building escape room experience! We played "Glitch" by the way if anyone was wondering! read more

Reason - A whole lot of intelligent Googlers, including my girlfriend, and few outliers like myself from Amazon! Having a blast in an escape room. - Escape Games Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place was excellent. We did the Glitch room with 18 people and everyone was engaged the whole time. The puzzles were unique and varied dramatically (vr, 3d printing, standard pattern ones, using cameras, etc). I especially loved how there were so many parallel puzzles that it never felt like we were just waiting around. Highly recommend. For those wondering on difficulty, the room had a good mix of easy and medium puzzles. Nothing was especially hard, though there are a few tricky ones. read more

We came here for a work bonding event, and my group did the Glitch room. It felt like there were a lot of little puzzles, each not too hard, but you needed people to work in parallel with only 2-3 people per puzzle. It was kind of difficult to start, but once we understood what we were supposed to do for each puzzle, it was easy to repeat for the other ones. It was cool seeing some puzzles being more interactive, such as one needing a person to complete something in VR. It was interesting having a game master in the room with us, giving us little hints while we were doing it. The staff was also really nice. They let us test out a new puzzle and ask a bunch of questions while we were waiting for our other group to finish. Overall, I think this is a decent place for a beginner large group, but not the best for experienced players or those who want a challenge. read more

We had an amazing time at this escape room! This is one of the largest escape room in San Francisco. With multiple rooms, they can accomodate kids birthday parties or corporate teambuilding events for groups of 20, and up to 60 people at the same time. We went twice and tried the games called Glitch and Sonar. The use of cutting-edge technology, including VR and 3D printers, added a whole new dimension to the experience. Something we had never seen before. We loved going through the interactive elements to solve puzzles in small groups and then all together for the final challenges. Highly recommend this escape room for a fun and memorable experience! read more

Reason runs on AWS, so if there are problems, that's the source. It feels like a passion project by the owners, who are extremely invested in it. Mike led us through the escape room and helped us out when requested. There are three different escape rooms for different party sizes. We came here for Glitch and were able to spend a lot of time together as 12 people. A big thing you learn is communication is key, otherwise you spend time repeating challenges that have already been solved. At the end, we started guessing to finish the last two problems and discovered two bugs that Mike gladly heard and made note to fix, so again, you can tell they're passionate. read more

Did this a long way back for my birthday. It was crazy fun, we saved the world with BACON! great time.

Brought our team here and had a blast! Service is awesome, the rooms are super cool and it gave us a real tough challenge. Definitely recommend coming here if you have a big group and are looking to be challenged. read more

Reason - You have to dive deep to solve this! - Escape Games Near Me - San Francisco, California

We did the mars escape room and we didn't feel like it was very intuitive and we also weren't very enthralled by the story. We found ourselves pretty frustrated and stumped a lot of the times. Many of the puzzles were sort of similar, it felt like solving SAT problems. I would say mars would definitely not be beginner escape room friendly, luckily we managed to escape and most of our group is intermediate to advanced escape room players. The escape room was also one room, so I think that was also a bit surprising compared to most escape rooms we've been to like Om or Palace Escape Rooms. There was also a weird smell which I know some escape rooms try to implement smells, so I'm not sure if this was purposeful or not. We did enjoy the room design and tech related aspects and our game host was also really nice and helpful which were pluses, but overall between our group of four I think we collectively decided we probably wouldn't be trying out other games from here read more

Having been to multiple escape rooms in multiple states and this escape room feels that it captures the tech identity of San Francisco. Where there are a bunch of people who are all using the latest and greatest gadget to solve problems. We had a group of 18 people and I was scared that there wasn't puzzles to be solves but what I didn't realize was people all have their own fun. Some like sitting back and watching other peoples struggle while others don't mind the struggle to get to the end goal. Overall the group said they really enjoyed themselves and would want to do Sonar also! Everyone also got really excited that there were multiple rooms to explore. In summation, would I do this again with another group? In a heart beat. PS Mike the founder is awesome when coordinating a group this large. read more

Liked that this place offered team building activities and escape rooms for larger groups. We tried Glitch which was one of their futuristic in-person escape rooms. We had a group of 20+ people, and while it was a bit chaotic at times, we had fun and ultimately were able to get out. We really appreciated the fact that they let us stay a bit later in the room in order for us to find out way out. For those of you used to traditional escape rooms, this one is a bit more unconventional to accommodate the larger groups so multiple puzzles are able to be worked on simultaneously and there are little bottlenecks. There is less of a story flow than smaller escape rooms, but that is to be expected. The host stayed with us in the room throughout the exercise and was there to help guide us through some of the challenging parts. read more

I had such a great time at Reason! We came here for a birthday activity with 6 people for the Reactor room, and it was so so cool. This was my first escape room but I'm convinced it's one of the best ones. I loved that it incorporated so much tech (VR, drones, typing stuff into a terminal, etc.), and it was a lot more immersive than I thought it would be! Everything connected so well together, and our host, Megan, was the sweetest. We barely escaped in time (tbh I think we went a few minutes over, haha), but for 6 people I think we did pretty well! Note: The front door is locked, so you have to ring the doorbell to get in! read more

I booked a 30 person event for my executive eBay team. We were absolutely THRILLED by the escape room challenges!! My team had so much fun and are still talking about it, a week after the event. Mike and his team run an excellent program. Mike, was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend this escape room adventure! read more

A large team outing (16 ppl) and we tried the new game Glitch I was pleasantly surprised that this game worked for such a big team. The puzzles were challenging enough and there were so many of them that everyone could work on something concurrently. Also, it doesn't suffer from too many bottlenecks where you're waiting on another teammate to solve something so you can start working on something else. It also utilizes VR headset (3 ppl got to use) which was cool. read more

I've done a number of escape rooms around the Bay Area and this is my new favorite! There's a good amount of space and I was really impressed with the quality of the props and the level of interaction with the puzzles. Some structures were obviously designed and built by crafty people with a love for gadgets and puzzles and were just super cool to get to play with. I can't spoil anything so you'll just have to go check it out for yourself! ;) We had a group of 10 people and there were plenty of things for people to split into groups of 2 or 3 and work on different pieces. They also provided a whiteboard where we were all able to reconvene and share knowledge. Even their decoration game was on point, which made the whole thing feel more immersive and engaging. I highly recommend trying them out. It wasn't the hardest escape room I've done (if that's a quality you're looking for) but it was by far the most enjoyable and extra great for our group since we had a few first-timers (they also loved it!) read more

Came here for a team offsite and we all absolutely loved this place! For all escape room lovers, this one is way different than ones you may have experienced before. This is the most high tech escape room I have ever done. Without spoiling anything, you will encounter VR, AR, drones, and even 3D printing! We did the Reactor room and were given 80 minutes to get out. Mike, our host, was super helpful with his hints. We ultimately escaped with 3 minutes left! Even with 14 brains with problem solving backgrounds, this one was quite tough. Thanks again to Mike for being an awesome host. I'd definitely want to try their other escape room! read more

I've participated in 3 different virtual team building events with Reason over the past couple years. All of them were uniquely challenging and highly engaging! Who knew you could have so much fun with your team over zoom. Hope to see more new virtual challenges created! read more

I had so much fun in the Patagonia Survival Race with my group. Sometimes you feel like you lost an hour of your life you never get back. I enjoyed every minute and I wish it would have been longer. Time flies when you are having fun! read more

Really nice set of puzzles and great remote team building activity. Our team had a tone of fun. read more

We did Glitch w/ 8 people. It was a bit challenging but engaging and fun. Everyone had a good time.

I came to Reason for the Reactor room with my team as an offsite bonding event. I've never done an escape room before, and had so much fun here! It's definitely a great team- bonding experience as people split off in the room to try to figure out what clues lead to another part of the room. Reactor is unique as it incorporates a bunch of tech, including VR and 3D printing. There was even a drone involved! Rooms were detailed, well designed, and definitely got our brains working. Our team escaped with only a few minutes left, which was exhilarating! I'd want to come back to check out their other room (apparently there are 2). Also, check in on yelp for a free drink! read more

I've only done one other escape room with a bunch of 6th graders before and needless to say, we didn't escape and this is definitely a different one. It was a company event and we were all able to all participate. It became where we broke up into where you wanted to participate and worked on your own small projects because there were so many different parts. It's almost like we should do it again so we can actually do the other parts that other people worked on. And I do seem some value in it just because. This is a pretty fancy setup. It had a 3d printer, a 3D visual, a VR headset setup. And like I said there were so many puzzles. We escaped with 3 minutes to spare and the end it was pretty satisfying. Loved it. And if you check-in using yelp you get a free drink. Some of our players stayed behind to play with VR games so there's that too so come and enjoy. I hope to do another puzzle with them and our team. read more

We hit upon the idea of an escape room for my son's 12th birthday party, and discovered that there are a large number of options in San Francisco, many of which have great reviews. After digging through them all, Reason floated to the top as the most interesting and appropriate (e.g. not scary/creepy). We could not be happier with the choice we made. Mike, who runs the place, was super-responsive, helpful and flexible. He did a great job corralling and focusing a bunch of excited 7th graders and they all had a great time solving puzzles together and playing with the cool tech in the Crash Site mission. In my son's words it was "TOTALLY AWESOME!!!" One of the other reviewers said that he'd done an escape room with a bunch of 6th graders and said "needless to say we didn't escape" but that was not the case here. In fact, the combination of the the youngsters' lateral thinking and tech-savviness with the adults in the room providing some structured thinking methodologies gave us a great result. We managed to escape in just under an hour, and nearly everyone was fully engaged the entire time. We had a total of 12 (9 kids, 3 adults) and that felt like the right size group, maybe ±2 people. I'd highly recommend Reason for any group of 10-14 (maybe 16?) adults or kids 6th grade and older. Mike said that the success rate of the mission is about 50%, so it's eminently doable if the team works well together, which is really the point, isn't it? read more

Reason - Escape Games Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hands down the best business I've ever dealt with! We are organizing two company virtual offsites for more than 20 people each. REASON, specifically Mike, helped with us all the way. I don't know how Mike did it, but he is always instantly available to answer emails and phone calls. I am pretty forgetful and the team member's schedule keeps changing, so I had to keep calling or emailing for repetitive questions or small changes, every time Mike picks up the phone immediately or replies the emails right away and helps with me with a breeze. I will definitely go to them again for future team social or personal social events. Thank you! read more

Our Product & Development teams did the Moonshot experience (virtually, thanks to Covid) with about 6 people on each team competing for the fastest team to solve. It was an absolutely fantastic and FUN experience! Loved every minute. Every puzzle seemed to work off a different type of mental strength; everyone was able to participate with some being able to solve certain puzzle that others couldn't. It gave us all a chance to shine for our teammates. Lily was our facilitator and she was TERRIFIC. There wasn't a single technical snag and a good time was had by all. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Reason - Moonshot experience. - Escape Games Near Me - San Francisco, California

I organized the virtual Moonshot game for my organization of about 40 people. We were looking for something to do together as a team, since we couldn't have a holiday party. We had an absolute blast! Mike was amazing helping me get set up, and even offered a specially scheduled session to meet our needs and short notice. The entire organization really enjoyed the game and thought it was such a n ice way to spend time together without awkwardly staring into a webcam at coworkers. it was easy to learn, with just the right amount of challenge and competition, and was the perfect length of time. The host Emily was unbelievable and really made the event special. I can't endorse Reason enough. They are really on to something with this, we will definitely be back for more. Thanks Emily and Mike! read more

I recently booked 2 team-building virtual escape room events with them and everyone had a blast. The missions were well thought out, the hosts were engaging and very in-theme.. plus they did an excellent job making us forget that it was all online/Zoom. I've been in contact with Mike the most - excellent customer service on his end. Super responsive too. A+ to them for adapting to remote events and making booking easy and user-friendly. I can't wait for them to come up with new concepts and themes. tldr; HIGHLY RECOMMEND for remote teams read more

Our 60+ person team just completed the Moonshot experience and had a great time. Emily was a fantastic host and Mike was a huge help getting us all set up and answering questions before/after our experience. Highly recommend - particularly for smart, tech-savvy and competitive teams. We look forward to working with Reason again. read more

My boss arranged a virtual escape room through Reason as a team building exercise. Very well done, a great host (giving us an appropriate level of hints vs letting us struggle), very creative. They split our group of 14 into two teams in two diff Zoom rooms. FYI to make sure ppl who will be on opposing teams aren't in the same physical space so that they don't leak clues. read more

As a huge escape room fan (I've played about a dozen now), I'm always down to try the next iteration of my favorite live-action experience. An industry that started with a simply decorated room of lo-fi clues evolved into multi-room experiences with secret passages and electronic puzzles. With the new Reason Room, the bar has been raised further to incorporate the very latest in technology. When my super sleuth pals suggested we give the new hotness a try, I was excited to Escape the Reactor. Without giving anything away, Reason Reactor is a whole different experience to any room I've ever played. Contrary to games from Scrap or Palace, Reason's storyline is non-linear so puzzles can be solved out of order. After only one play, I can't decide whether this is a good or bad format but it's definitely different, allowing players to break into smaller teams and leverage their personal strengths to solve puzzles. With a 50% escape rate (our veteran team managed 58 minutes of a 70 minute limit...), the Reactor may lack some of the time consuming twists of other brands, but the technical exhibition is a testament to the continued innovation that will bring the art forward. I, for one, welcome our 3D printed, holographic, self-balancing, radio-controlled overlords. read more

By far the most detailed and high-tech escape room I've ever completed. I would definitely recommend this place for friends, family and/or coworkers looking for a team building experience, and do not let the street vibes before you enter deter you. I made a reservation in advance and came in with a medium sized group of coworkers. I won't go into details (because I don't want to ruin it), but we did the nuclear reactor escape room and it was really difficult/challenging in a good way. The staff at Reason are REALLY GOOD. They really try to get to know you, they are experts with the rooms and instructions, and they were helpful about giving us suggestions when our group needed an extra tip. Don't forget to check-in! They'll give you a free soda :) read more

We had a blast! Staff was super friendly and the game was amazing. I would do it all again! Thank you. read more

Reason - Escape Games Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had a blast and for a very good Reason!! I have not tried many escape rooms in the past, but I feel like this concept is very unique compared to traditional escape rooms. The "Reactor" escape room has MANY technology elements tied in. I can't giveaway too much of what I experienced, but I can say it was really fun and creative how they tied 3d printing, VR, drone flying, robots, to solve puzzles. There were traditional escape room puzzles in the room too so there is a variety of enjoyment to be had. I also went in a large group for work and there was plenty of puzzle solving to go around and an opportunity to collaborate. Mike was an extraordinary puzzle master. He was patient with our large group and provided hints where needed. I would say for the price, it is more expensive than other escape rooms. BUT you do get lots of play time as well as incorporate futuristic technologies so it is very fair for the $50 mark. read more

We had an awesome team bonding experience. The staff was friendly. Puzzles were really fun and having pretty new technology being part of it was super interesting. Best escape room I have done so far! read more

This place is just awesome! The staff is extremely friendly! They went out of f their way, showing us their cat and other cool things in the room before the game starts! Very very friendly! The game itself is a lot of fun! I didn't expect it to be THIS engaging and mind-boggling. The puzzles and games are designed soo well, and it is just a perfect place for team activity! It is also pretty long (1.5 hours) which makes you really solve as many puzzles as you can! read more

This was a gift for my husband and he loved it, the escape room was really fun and complete, the staff was really nice and made sure we all had a great time. It is perfect for these times. Thank you for the experience! read more

Awesome escape room fun. Obviously I won't go into the specifics of the game itself, so no spoilers! The game itself was solid. Good logic throughout, all solvable, no busywork. Clearly designed by people who love games. You don't need to be any particular expert at anything, but good problem solving skills don't hurt. Great experience by the hosts. From the moment it started we were well immersed in the overall game. By the end we had practically forgotten we were in some random building in SF! Also, apparently the game is still growing and evolving- which is pretty amazing. Highly recommend for a group of friends or coworkers. We came as a group of 8, was awesome. Lastly it ends with a really great self-evaluation process. Very thoughtful and clever. I'm hoping they evolve it so much I can come back again and start from scratch! read more
