About the escape room

Your friend Jonathan Adams, a software engineer, disappeared after being accused of a massive digital attack on the government. Perhaps there are clues within his studio that you can use to clear his name? Oh, and be sure to be nice to Ada, his A.I. digital assistant... You wouldn't want to get on her bad side.

AI Overview

AIPlayers consistently praise the high-tech, computer-themed puzzles and the playful rogue-AI humor. Difficulty trends medium and sometimes easy for veterans, with an optional hard mode if you blaze through. A few call out one unfair, head-scratching puzzle and some time-gated content that can lock you out of extras. Several note the San Diego branch has closed, though the game itself left a strong impression.

WeaknessesOne puzzle feels like a leap of logic, and time-based gating can make some groups miss content. Story beats can be predictable, and a rare report of broken gear pops up.

StrengthsTech integration shines, with standout interactive elements and even a mini video-game moment. Flow is smooth, communication puzzles land well, and the A.I. banter adds charm.

SecurityStandard escape-room safety and briefings; no intense physical tasks mentioned. One review noted a broken prop, but staff assistance was provided.

Level of fearNot scary and no horror vibes. Family-friendly tone with cheeky A.I. snark rather than jump scares.

Actors' gameLittle to no live actor presence; most interaction is via the A.I. and video moments. GMs step in for hints when needed.

Quality of riddlesComputer-forward, tactile tech puzzles with a light 8-bit feel and a mix of manual and auto locks. Generally fair and approachable, with one notorious outlier that feels illogical. Speed can trigger a challenge mode for extra content.

PlotYou’re clearing a friend’s name after a government cyberattack while dealing with his cheeky assistant Ada. The premise is clear and fun, though some found it predictable.

Difficulty levelOverall medium and sometimes easy for seasoned teams. Two can finish it with hints, but it hums best with 3–6 players; hard mode spices it up if you’re quick.

Bummed it’s closed now. The space was cool with unique tech puzzles, a fun Freddie Wong intro, and even a challenge mode if you finished fast.

One of my first San Diego rooms and I really enjoyed it. We escaped as two with time left, needed hints on one puzzle, and I’d recommend 4–6 for the multi-room comms and tech.

Very high-tech mix of manual and automated locks, with a solid story and even its own little video game. Medium difficulty but very fun.

Loved the nerdy references and how the room leaned into the A.I. theme without being gimmicky. We cruised but still felt engaged, and that retro-computer moment was chef’s kiss.

Good flow, clean logic, and the A.I. humor kept us smiling. It’s on the easier side if you’ve done a bunch, but still satisfying to clear.

Sad the San Diego location shut down, because this was a great room with a cheeky rogue-A.I. vibe, smooth flow, and strong computer-centric puzzles.

Fun overall, but the time gating annoyed us since we finished with minutes to spare and still missed a section. Bring more people if you hate FOMO.

We got into the challenge mode with time left and felt like puzzle pacing was just right. Not many wow sets, but the interactivity sells it.

Solid tech room with a couple of cool communication bits between spaces. GM was attentive with hints when we stalled, and nothing felt unfair except one odd step.

AI used to be the talk of San Diego. Still worth it for story and fun, though one puzzle felt totally unreasonable and even the GM couldn’t justify the logic.

Our group loved the nerdy jokes and puzzles. We messed around a lot and still nearly set a record, which says the room is fun even when you’re goofing off.

The 8-bit computer puzzle was a blast and fit the story. Not super hard, but clever enough to feel good when things clicked.

A few elements were great, but the time-based shortcuts meant we missed content even with time left, which felt disappointing. Bring more people to see everything.

I played solo and ran into broken equipment, so I needed GM help on a couple of puzzles.

Theme is fine, but the tech shines, with computer bits that feel like an 8-bit game. It’s easier overall and the story is predictable, but it’s a good time.

We went as five, hit hard mode with time to spare, and found the puzzles straightforward and not too tough.
