Our work group of 7 escaped together on this adventure. It was a lot of fun to work together and we definitely needed all of our different personalities and insights. We had a blast.

Ryptic Room Escape is so much fun!! I can't wait until they launch their next game. I first heard of room escape games on the Big Bang Theory and once I learned there was one in San Mateo, we had to go!

    After you book the game, you’ll get access to a Zoom Video (or alternative upon request) link along with digital puzzles.

You will have 60 minutes to work with your in-game host to solve the puzzles and escape!

  • What do I need to play a Live Video Escape?

    1. You will want to have 1 laptop per person if possible, even if you’re in the same room, in case you want to split up and work on different things.
    2. You may want to use headphones, especially if there’s multiple participants in the same room. Otherwise, consider muting one or more devices to avoid overlapping audio.
    3. You will want to have paper and pencil on hand for solving puzzles.
